Toasted Cornbread and Apple Stuffing
Serves: 8 to 10
These ingredients are:
Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
I come from a long line of southern women, and was myself raised in the South. This is the recipe my mother and grandmother used each year for our Thanksgiving turkey. However, its versatility doesn't end on your holiday table. This is a great stuffing for pork chops or roasted chicken. It's also wonderful as a side dish with roasted winter root vegetables or for stuffed peppers.
- 1 9x13-inch pan of cornbread (make your own or buy premade in the PCC Deli) Add to list
- 1 pound ground seasoned sausage meat (we used PCC Chicken Italian on the show) Add to list
- 1 stick of butter Add to list
- 2 cups chopped onions Add to list
- 2 cup chopped celery Add to list
- 2 cups chopped Pink Lady or Granny Smith apples Add to list
- 1 tablespoon each: chopped fresh sage, thyme and rosemary Add to list
- 1/4 cup fresh cranberries Add to list
- 1/2 cup apple cider Add to list
- 1 1/2 cups chicken or turkey stock (see note) Add to list
- Salt and pepper to taste Add to list
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Cut the cornbread into 3/4-inch cubes and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast the cubes in the oven for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a large skillet or sauté pan, remove and drain half the fat from the pan. Place the pan back over the heat and add the butter. Sauté the onions, celery, apples and herbs in the butter until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the sausage and cranberries. Pour in the cider and the stock, bring to a simmer and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Place the cornbread cubes in a large bowl and pour in the sautéed mixture. Toss very gently to allow the cornbread to absorb the stock. If the stuffing is a little dry for your taste, add a little more stock.
You may stuff the turkey with this mixture, or bake it in a casserole dish for 35 minutes at 350° F. If you like your stuffing a little more like a bread pudding, fold in 3 well-beaten eggs and bake in a buttered casserole dish for 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbling and golden.
I often make a big batch of turkey stock well before Thanksgiving and freeze it. Simply buy a bunch of turkey legs and/or parts; chop them up and simmer them in water seasoned with onions, celery, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Strain the liquid and freeze it in mason jars until you need it for your stuffing and gravy.

Laney girls basketball players continue to turn heads.
Most recently, they did Friday by clobbering an Augusta neighborhood rival six miles up the road, Glenn Hills, 70-29.
It not only tied the Wildcats' third-highest scoring output this season, but kept them undefeated approaching tonight's home game against Butler and vital Region 3-AA matchups against Harlem and Screven County next week. Coach Otis Smart's girls had beaten Aiken (S.C.) 71-66 and Hephzibah 76-54 in the first two games of the season.
Laney jumped all over Glenn Hills from the outset, leading the Spartans 26-6 after a quarter and never looking back, according to the Augusta Chronicle. Khatigah Cave reportedly led the way with 27 points, while Simone Smith and Walentra Wright chipped in eight apiece.
Now 12-0, the Wildcats seem serious contenders to reach the state playoffs a 13th consecutive year and potentially a fifth straight semifinal or beyond the first week in March.
Here are more girls highlights from Friday:
– Model (7-3) edged atop Region 7-AA at 3-0 by surviving host Pepperell 54-50, thanks to Karlee Akin's 16, Timia Reynolds' 14 and Caroline Long's 11, according to the Rome News-Tribune. Reynolds scored 10 in the final eight minutes, and the Devils bucketed five of six foul shots in the final 65 seconds.
– Jaclyn Coleman netted 14 and Jakela Wilson and Kellie Goza 10 each as Jefferson (9-5) beat host Oglethorpe County 52-34 in a Region 8-AA game, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.
– Struggling Armuchee won consecutive games for the first time this season by dominating Chattooga 78-60 in a Region 7-AA matchup, the News-Tribune reported. JessAnn Nix bucketed 22, Rebekah Hammond 17 Jordan Burkett 10, as Armuchee (6-7, 2-2) chilled Chattooga 30-15 in the final eight minutes.

Flathead Nordic originated in 1975 as the Essex Nordic Patrol serving to patrol the trails of Izaak Walton Inn.
In 1981 we renamed ourselves to better reflect the growth and demand of our services. We played an instrumental role in creating both the Flathead County Avalanche Search Plan and the Northwest Montana Avalanche Information Center. We are one of five nordic patrols in the Northern Division of NSP.
The Patrol conducts regular business meetings the first Monday of each month from October through April. We participate in several public education presentations each season.
Training opportunities for candidates and Patrollers include: CPR, Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC), Mountain Travel and Rescue (MTR), Advanced MTR, Avalanche I, Avalanche II, candidate training, skiing skills, toboggan handling, Instructor programs, and senior training. All of these programs are available throughout the Northern Division.

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and thyme; cook, stirring, until lentils are coated, about 2 minutes.
Break up tomatoes using your hands or a spoon and then add along with puree. Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover tightly, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and starting to break down, about 45 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. If eating right away, stir in yogurt.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions; drain. Toss with sauce and top with grated Parmesan if desired.
This was amazing! I used red lentils, a red onion and substituted red pepper for the carrot. Delicious! Because the pepper had more water, the sauteeing at the beginning with the onion was quite watery, and I only added a cup of water later. I didn't have yogurt but it was still delicious.Reply
This is such a delicious recipe!! I used to make it frequently when I was a vegetarian, and now that I'm eating more healthfully, it's exactly what I was looking for. I love it! I use fired roasted canned tomatoes when I can, as well as a little crushed red peppers for a little kick. Yum!Reply
This was SO great! ... I didn't have dry lentils on hand so I used a packaged of precooked lentils from Trader Joe's ... I just threw them in the sauce for 10 minutes or so. This is a great comfort food.... even good without the noodles.Reply

- Casual FrenchtravelerbgDined on 9/20/2014Enjoyable casual french restaurant. Ambiance was pleasant but not especially romantic or scenic. Food was reasonably priced and did not disappoint.Special Features:
- Good food, limited menuEric1FoodieVIPDined on 9/16/2014So we liked the entrees and the little aperitif that was served gratis. One person had fish, one filet, one hanger steak. Sauces were good, of source, this is a french restaurant. The escargot were ok. The bread was good. Would go back but prefer the lunch menu, croque monsieur is great as i recall. Enjoy this little gem, lots of french speakers in the place is always a good sign.Special Features:
- FoodiegirlDined on 9/14/2014We stumbled upon this little gem unexpectedly on a visit to Chinatown. Crossing the thresh hold we stepped into a Paris bistro complete with scraped wood floors, wait staff properly attired in black trousers, vests n white shirts with bistro aprons. The croissants were buttery, flaky and hot. Fruit plate composed of fresh fruit.We had bowls of cafe au lait that was excellent. Highly recommended!Special Features:
- Great VibeDianaVIPDined on 9/14/2014We went for brunch. I had the omelet, filled with tomatoes, spinach and feta. It was filling, but light. It came with yummy "home fries" - diced potatoes with the skin on and wheat toast. Creamy butter and smooth raspberry preserves. Husband had the sausage and egg croissant sandwich. I saw someone's plate of pancakes. They looked so good; flat, but cake-like. The ambiance was really great, felt like I was in Paris. Great coffee, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always charminglenehDined on 9/11/2014This is a great "go to "place for us when we want to meet our out of town friends who are staying downtownSpecial Features:
- Needs to Respect ReservationsDeeDubDined on 9/10/2014I've always liked this place for lunch or a coffee and was hesitant to try it for dinner because it's quite casual and informal. Though we went to the trouble of making a reservation via Open Table, the restaurant hostess couldn't have cared less that we did. We were told that all the tables were filled and they offered us a high-top table in the bar. I asked whether or not they have a table set aside for us, given that we made a reservation, one we might have to wait even 5 or 10 minutes for, and we were told no. They claimed to have had a couple large groups that just sat down and there wouldn't be anything open for a while. I was disappointed that they disregarded our reservation. We begrudgingly took the bar high-top.Special Features:
- Terrific!OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/7/2014Great dinner. For starters the onion soup was sweet, not salty, prefect. The Salade De Chèvre Chaud was delicious. The portion of the steamed black mussels was generous and rich in the wine/cream sauce. The Boeuf Bourguignon was also outstanding. A caution on ordering wine by the glass from the chalkboard - those are vintages not prices. The 10 does not cost $10. Not sure what the desserts are like because we were simply too full to order. But they looked delicious as well. We liked dinner so much we went back for breakfast, but that was not nearly as memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Evening mealJohn3VIPDined on 9/5/2014Really had a wonderful meal. Food was great, our server was not only knowledgable, but helpful in making suggestions. Everything was perfectly prepared and served at a great pace! I'll definely be back!Special Features:
- Worst and worst very timelafayettefoodieVIPDined on 8/31/2014If you want a place where the greeters indicates that you are bothering her while she does accounting and have a table next to bathroom because the other empty table are for 'other people with reservation' this is the spot ! Used to be good and welcoming. Poorly managed restaurant. Forget about this spot. We left without eating.
- Cafe de la Presse--a slice of ParisadulticeskaterVIPDined on 8/29/2014This charming restaurant reminds me so much of the wonderful bistros in Paris! Great food simply prepared, no unusual additions to detract from the fresh, natural flavors. Lovely ambience, quiet, perfect for lunch or before the theater.Special Features:
- Excellent ExperienceStevAVIPDined on 8/26/2014Ambiance is Paris and the food and service perfect Enjoyed the entire timeSpecial Features:
- GREAT Findcaliforniadreaming14Dined on 8/22/2014Spied this restaurant from the top of the Hop On Hop Off bus. Intrigued by the French style waitress and outside seating. Needed a nice restaurant for our last evening in San Francisco and found Open Table on Google. Exceeded expectations with French cuisine and Parisienne ambiance. Also not expensive. We thought we had had an evening in Paris.Special Features:
- Best croque- monsieur!!!SocialLeslieVIPDined on 8/21/2014This charming little French restaurant is a great find. I had my first croque- Monsieur here years ago and loved it! I then began to try others across the city. I was surprised at how they differed. Cafe de la Presse wins hands down! There is something to the cruspiness of the bread and cheese combo that just is delicious. Try it and you'll see! I am now a regular there and turn people on to my obsession often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful and DeliciousSnailsRUsDined on 8/10/2014Eggs Benedict were wonderful. Perfectly poached eggs. Loved my Bastille drink - orange juice, champagne and Grand Marnier. We enjoyed sitting outside but the interior is charming. We'll definitely be back!Special Features:
- Great DinnerbarthawkDined on 8/2/2014Had a early dinner here before going to a play at the SF Playhouse.. The service was quick but not intrusive. Food was very good, I had the duck confit and I really enjoyed it. For dessert I had a the chocolate hazelnut profiterole item which was a little heavy on the nutella sauce. Oyster appetizer was delicious as well.Special Features:
- Great food, okay serviceNWvisitorDined on 7/29/2014I had the beef burgundy (decided not to attempt the French spelling) and it was great: deep flavors and plenty of beef. The service was acceptable and friendly but left a little to be desired: they did not replace the water bottle when it was empty from about half-way through the meal and they never offered us the dessert menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing service - and GREAT burgerNeverAgainDined on 7/28/2014The server we had was over the top - full of enthusiasm, charm, and just added so much to the already great experience. I tried to hire him for a tech company. he could sell anything! And then the burger with blue cheese was wonderful, and the duck confit. and the wine selection... oh so good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- thank youloveurbanityDined on 7/25/2014We were there 'catching up' with one another, for quite some time. No one rushed us out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mary AnneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic breakfastGlobegirl747Dined on 7/13/2014We dined here for breakfast , I made a booking for 5 including myself & my colleagues, the omelettes were tasty, the coffee was like velvet and the Almond croissants , simply pastry heaven !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist CentralLuvFrench1VIPDined on 7/12/2014This has always been one of my favorite French stops in the city. It reminds me of Paris like no other restaurant I've found. The last time I dined, however, as different. We sat outside which is right next to the tourist Sightseeing bus (multiple) drop off. There was a constant stream of tourists and bus exhaust during our meal. Not for me. I'm a local and travel across the city to come to Cafe de la Presse.

- Excellent service and great foodJARTHURSFDined on 7/3/2014Lunch at Café de la Presse is very nice and relaxed. The food--we both had the quiche Lorraine--was very good, and the service was excellent. The waitress was very patient when my dining companion was 1/2 hour late.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best croissants! Fair menu choicesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/29/2014This place knows french baking! Excellent pastries, great coffee! The menu items seemed somewhat basic and no frills. It was tasty, hot, but not exceptional. If you have the chance, sit outside where the ambience is great for watching the city while maintaining a conversation with your guests. Great spot for this neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/29/2014I've been to Cafe de la Presse many times and never thought the service was stellar but it was OK. Until last weekend. After waiting 30 minutes for drinks to arrive we inquired with our waiter who simply said, the barrista is on a break. Fair enough but you don't really need a barrista to get a coke. Meanwhile we got our hot drinks towards the end of the meal... I also requested if we could have a small cake for a birthday but no one ever got back to me on that, so we just ordered dessert. All in all the food was good but goodness the service was way too slow and barely polite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good food!!Gr8BeachRealtorVIPDined on 6/22/2014if you make a reservation you always get seated.. interesting wine list. great bread and pastriesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday BrunchdeevDined on 6/22/2014The menu serves up classic brunch items such as eggs benedict, omelettes, french toast, in addition to several salads and sandwiches. If you arrive past noon, then you can opt for steak/frites or roast chicken to name a couple. It is well located at the entrance to Chinatown and great for people watching!!Special Features:
- Best in Frisco!jaxupraDined on 6/20/2014We just spent 48 hours in San Francisco, and ate 4 of 6 meals at Cafe de la Presse. It was, and still is, our favorite restaurant.Special Features:
- MarkKVIPDined on 6/20/2014I had higher expectations for this restaurant. The hosts were arrogant and/or indifferent when our party checked in and I am not quite sure why. We dine in San Francisco all of the time and we never deal with negative attitude. But then again we hardly ever eat in the Union Square area. The waiter was pleasant enough and the food was fine, but I will not be in a hurry to go back.
- Will be back to Cae de la Pressemarbro09Dined on 6/14/2014The location suited our requirements beautifully. Your web site captured the locale perfectly. A very short walk from the Union Square area hotels. We had dinner down stairs in the more formal dining area. I would love to dine outside on the street on a sunny day. The food and service excellent. The waiter even accommodated my brothers overly sensitive nose for wines. He chose two to have my brother and his wife taste. I would recommend you to friends and already have to my colleagues in the SF offices of Robert Half located at 50 California StSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Francis Bien-OverallCityLightsDined on 6/12/2014While the menu does not have a wide range of selection, it would seem that what is made is made well. The braised beef was delectable as was the croissant bread pudding. The chicken breast was regrettably dry, but the accompanying salad of fennel and radish was refreshing. I had to ask if I could have coffee with my dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious dinner with friendsgillvdwDined on 6/10/2014This was our first time for dinner at this restaurant, we have had brunch and lunch here often. Took friends who are visiting from NZ. Great evening, fantastic rabbit and duck dishes. Gorgeous waiter with big blue eyes. I was surprised that even in the city people eat early, practically empty by 10pm.Special Features:
- San Francisco GemSctphilDined on 6/3/2014Dinner at the Cafe de la Presse was superb. I had escargot, lamb stew, and an almond cherry tart for dessert and all three were delicious (especially the escargot). The service was both attentive and friendly. I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in San Francisco.Special Features:
- The following 875 reviews are from the Cafe de la Presse reviews archive.
- Better for lunchSalleDined on 5/25/2014I have been coming a couple of times to La Presse the last 3 years when visiting SF. Always for breakfast or lunch. This time I tried dinner and was a bit disappointed. Service was not as good as during lunch. A bit lazy and not "american friendly" but not bad. I just like breakfast and lunch better but being my first visit dinner time I will definitely try it again for dinner. I lover the place so I will come back.Special Features:
- little disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/16/2014I remembered the time I went to Cafe de la Presse prior to this time okay (not very good but not bad). But this time, the food was very disappointing, and the service was okay. They were closing early (9pm or so). I also did not feel vibrant.
- A great breakfastMariaDined on 5/16/2014El desayuno delicioso, los platos muy bien servidos y el restaurante muy bonito. Un muy buen lugar para desayunar. Lo recomendamos mucho.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect French ambience!SFnewbieDined on 5/13/2014Cafe de le Presse is très chic! It was the perfect setting on a hot day and enjoyed a glass of wine on their patio. Must try the croissant pudding with chocolate syrup. So decadent!Special Features:
- French CafeJeremyDined on 5/12/2014If you want closer to France you may have to fly there. This was my first time dining at Cafe de la Presse, but definitely won't be the last. Good wine and cocktail selection. Braised beef and crab cakes were delicious. Had our choice of tables and were provided with excellent service. Point of interest: Restaurant is across the street from main gates of Chinatown....you may or may not like that if dining outdoors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

dissapointed with my sun burn
13 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2946754 on Aug 18, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I bought this for our bike trip to South Dakota. We were burnt the first day even having applied the lotion before sun exposure in the morning and reapplying at lunch. After the first day, my neck and shoulder were so burnt, I could hardly rub in the sunscreen on day 2. It was hard enough to apply without the burn. I don't think my nose has ever been so crispy and burnt in my life, even as a kid. My husband has really short hair, so he put it on his scalp to keep it from burning. It made his head look really white all week and only seemed to get whiter and glisten with more sun exposure, but he still burnt and was peeling by the time we got home 5 days later. I ended up going to walmart and buying neutrogena and using that for the trip home.
Did not work.

I bought this before a trip to florida. I regret the purchase. This product is very greasy, hard to apply, hard to squeeze out of the container, and even though I applied it every 30 minutes or so, I still burned to a crisp. It did not work at all. It also stays white after you apply it, which would not bother me had it actually protected me from being burned.
I have not got it yet

How To Make Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Machine:
An Easy, Foolproof Method
This method for making ice cream in a bag is very popular with our readers, but honestly, I find it to be a bit of a pain. I think I've found a better way to make ice cream without a machine.
A bite of ice cream made with this method. It has been in the freezer for about 1 hour, so it isn't completely solid or cured yet. You can see how smooth it is, with only a bit of texturing from ice crystals. This recipe was predominantly made up of milk, so this is to be expected.
I do believe in equal-opportunity ice cream-making; even if you don't have an ice cream maker, you should be able to make it home for yourself. Yes, an ice cream machine doesn't cost too much, but it takes up precious space in small kitchens, and you may not want to keep one around. But up until now I hadn't been satisfied with any methods of making ice cream sans machine.
The bag method is simple, but messy. You fill a large plastic bag with ice and salt, and then put a smaller bag inside with a cup of ice cream mix. After some agitation, the mix in the inner bag will get cold enough to freeze into ice cream.
But this method is prone to leakage — you often end up with salty brine all over the kitchen countertop, or even in the ice cream itself. There has to be a better way, I thought.
I did a little reading, and I was inspired by David Lebovitz's stir-every-30-minutes version, and by Kenji's very scientific analysis of what needs to happen for ice cream to freeze satisfactorily.
• How To Make Ice Cream Without a Machine - by David Lebovitz
• The Food Lab: Real Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Machine - by Kenji at Serious Eats
Kenji's article is fascinating because he shows just how ice cream is affected by stirring. If you just throw ice cream mix into the freezer you'll have a solid block of icy dairy — not very scoopable or fun to eat. You have to prevent large ice crystals from forming while freezing the mix. There are many ways to do this, but they are variations on one simple concept: Mix or agitate the ice cream while it is being frozen.
David Lebovitz addresses this by simply stirring the ice cream every 30 minutes for about 3 hours as it freezes in the freezer. David's is a good method, and the one below is directly inspired by it. I just didn't want to be bound to my ice cream for 3 hours! I also felt that the mixing option still leaves in some large crystals.
This method makes the process much quicker, and you only need to mix it twice. It also produces a very smooth, creamy ice cream which, depending on how much fat is in the ice cream base, rivals any other homemade ice cream for texture.
The only drawback is that you need a fairly large freezer and a bag of ice — which again may be hard for those of you in small city kitchens. But if you do have the space, then give this a try! It's easy, not messy at all, and awfully delicious!
What You Need
1 pint (usually a half recipe) of ice cream mix, well chilled
Easy Ice Cream Mix Options:
• Eggless Cornstarch-Based Mix
• Rich Ice Cream Base with Eggs and Cream
• Sweetened Condensed Milk Ice Cream Base
Very large mixing bowl or stockpot
Small 1-quart bowl
Chopped ice
3/4 cup rock salt or kosher salt
Electric hand mixer OR whisk
1. Fill the large bowl about halfway with ice. Stir in 3/4 cup rock salt.
2. Nestle the smaller bowl in the ice. Try to get almost completely buried in the ice. Fill the smaller bowl halfway with ice cream mix (use at most 1 pint of mix).
3. Use the hand mixer to beat the mix for 10 minutes. You may find it helpful to half cover the bowl with a towel, to help prevent spattering. The mix should get very cold to the touch, although it will probably not start transforming into actual ice cream. (Note: If you don't have a hand mixer, then you can use a whisk, but you will need to whisk for at least 15 minutes. Great upper arm workout!)
After you have aerated and chilled the mix for about 10 minutes, cover with a towel and place the entire set of nested bowls — large and small — in the freezer. Freeze for 45 minutes.
4. Remove the bowls from the freezer. Draw a spoon across the top of the ice cream mix. It's probably the consistency of loose pudding, especially on top.
5. Mix again with the hand mixer for 5 minutes. At this point the mixture should be the texture of soft-serve ice cream.
6. Remove the small bowl from the large bowl, and cover the top with plastic wrap touching the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for an additional two hours, or overnight, before serving.
Additional Notes:
• Remember, as always with homemade ice cream: The more fat in the ice cream, the creamier it will be, regardless of churning method. A custard ice cream with all cream and egg yolks will turn out less icy than a milk-based mix. I actually used a milk-based mix here (2 cups milk, 1 cup cream) and while this is more to my taste, it definitely turned out a little icier than a more fatty mix would have.
• On ice: I used about 6 standard-sized ice cube trays (72 ice cubes, smashed up a bit in a bag beforehand) to fill my big bowl.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Awesome! Can't wait to try it, looks delicious :)
When I was younger we always made ice cream as part of birthday parties. It was essentially the bag method, but in duct-tape sealed coffee cans instead. All we had to do was kick the can(s) around for a while and then we had ice cream!
Great way to keep the kids entertained for an hour and tire them out at the same time.
I second the duct-tape sealed can-within-a-can technique. Effective and fun!
I have an old-fashioned stand mixer with a large bowl and a small bowl. I'm thinking this setup might work great if I just nested the two bowls...
My favorite method for making ice cream is to stir the mix while pouring liquid nitrogen into it. The nitrogen evaporates and your ice cream is the right consistency after about 5 minutes. The only drawback is the difficulty of acquiring liquid nitrogen. I made ice cream this way in a college culinary arts club. The club president was friends with some chemistry grad students, who supplied the liquid nitrogen.
I've done the "can within a can" method and it worked like a breeze. I just sat on the floor in front of the tv and rolled the can around for about 20 minutes. Bam! You have ice cream.
@leisurelyviking I'm kind of dying to try liquid nitrogen in ice cream. Have you ever read Anne Fadiman's collection of essays, At Large and At Small? She has a wonderful ice cream-obsessed piece in there that pivots upon the liquid nitrogen method.
Best. Post. EVER!!! I am trying this as soon as possible!
i've done the shake method with a bag inside a mason jar -- never had any leaking problems!
Yep, we made ice cream at school with the double can method. Just make sure they're both real metal cans, and not coated cardboard. We ended up with salty ice cream one time that way. Still tasty!
So happy I don't have to buy an ice cream maker! Can't wait to try this.
Once it's made, does it have to be eaten right away? Or can I make it, store it in container in the freezer, and eat a bit at a time over the course of, say, a week?
@Mrs.Mack, this is best if it has a few hours to chill and harden. And yes, while ice cream is best fresh, it should be fine in the freezer for a couple weeks.
@hrhprincessfiona I am not quite sure I catch your drift; I didn't give an explicit recipe here for ice cream base, because the focus was on the method of freezing the ice cream. But it starts with making your own ice cream; there are 3 recipes provided.
I don't think, actually, there is such thing as commercially made ice cream mix available to home cooks (there is for restaurants, of course).
@hrhprincessfiona - No prob!
I make an even easier version - no rock salt needed. just the electric mixer and ingredients. More like a semifreddo but still good!
Has anyone tried to make ice cream using a stand mixer running in the freezer? I think this would work very well, but would the icy cold air adversely affect the motor? Can anyone recommend a very durable mixer for this job? Thanks.
@rockettsingh89: I've been using this method (and LOVING it!) for the past month or two and I've found that folding in extras right after the second mixing (before the 2-hour/overnight freeze) works best. The ice cream is just soft enough to get a good mix but not so soft that everything sinks to the bottom. Mix for 5 minutes per the instructions, fold in crunchies, freeze, done. :)
I found a less messy alternative to the bag method. It combines several matriculating methods on the internet: kick the can, using ice packs, and the quart sized bag.
When your ice cream starter is ready, pour it into a quart sized bag. Press out all the air, and seal. Seal this into another quart sized bag, with all air reduced.
On either side, press a small, flexible ice pack. Wrap this in a dish towel.
Tuck the entire thing into a coffee can and roll it under your feet as you do a busy task- e-mail, bills, whatever your fancy. You can even process the ice cream while eating dinner with your kids.
Extra benefit: the can cools as the ice cream chills. The rolling motion on feet is the absolute best cure to a long day in heels. The ice cream doesn't hurt, either.
This is interesting and it may tickle my fancy enough for me to try it. I have never thought of making ice cream at home; living on my own I feel no need to own an IC machine.
But, because I dislike the kinds of ice cream that are so creamy that you feel like you have a real Vermont cow standing next to you this method will make me experiment with fruity varieties with no too much added sugar.
Also, I got the Ninja blender that is supposed to crush ice cubes into snow (I have yet to try it) I think I will have to test it.
Thanks for the post.
Freeze and stir method has been around for a very long time. Things come and go.

Water Conservation
Be sure to check the Drought Update page for current water restrictions.
Since 1987 the water use in Santa Clara has dropped significantly while population within the city continues to rise. It is evident that conservation has become a way of life in the City of Santa Clara. The graph below shows how the City has conserved water despite the population increase.
A major way the City continues to control water demand, while still following through with its conservation goals, is through its strong Award-Winning Recycled Water Program which is a direct offset to the potable water demand in the City. The City of Santa Clara is proud to have accepted the 2014 Recycled Water Retailer of the Year award from the WateReuse Association.
Additionally, the City continues to promote recycled water through innovative projects within the City. For example, the Central Park Pond is currently being retrofitted to use Recycled Water, instead of portable water, for its 1.4 million gallon water feature. The scale of the City's Recycled Water Program demonstrates its success as recycled water account for 15% of all water sales within the city. In addition, 72% of the City's municipal water use is met through recycled water.
Despite such great progress to this point, current drought conditions require all of us to conserve even more. It is understood with all the conservation that has taken place over the years, further reduction in demands will be hard to achieve.
So what can you do to save water?

Where Can I Find a Quilt Like This?
Good Questions
Q: Where can I find this green quilt or one like it? The simplicity of the quilted bedspread is so chic, and that green is such delicious avocado perfection! I could deal with one another color (preferably bold, but monochrome), but the simple quilted pattern is really what I'm in love with, especially because it's all one color. I have zero sewing abilities and I don't even know where to start in searching for this. Please help!

This one is Ikea from about eight years ago. Alas, it seems they don't make it anymore. Unfortunately I can't tell you where to find a similar one. But I have one of those. It doesn't hold up well to washing...
I have one that is very similar that I found at Urban Outfitters. The quilted pattern is a bit different but fairly close to this one. Mine is a turquoise hue on one side and a lime green on the other. I am in love with how soft it is! Can machine wash, but I recommend dry cleaning-will slightly shrink even on a delicate cycle!
Steal one from a cheap motel...
I got an identical one from target a few years ago. Don't know if they still have it, but it's worth a look.
I've seen them at TJ Maxx in different colors in San Francisco.
Here's something with a similar pattern and color: http://www.thecompanystore.com/La-Crosse%C2%AE-Supersize-Primaloft%C2%AE-Deluxe-Blanket-or-Throw/km81-ps-r11,default,pd.html?start=5&cgid=cs-blankets-throws
Check out this duvet on sale for 39.99 from west elm: http://www.westelm.com/products/square-tuck-duvet-shams-s020/?pkey=csale-bedding
You can find one at my grandmother's house... but that's probably not helpful! :)
I bought something very similar, maybe even a bit prettier green (imo) at West Elm about 3 years ago. I believe Pottery Barn now is selling something similar.
have you checked etsy? there are a lot of quilters on etsy that will do custom work and make you exactly what you want, including me :-) www.brandeye.etsy.com
or you may be able to find something already made that may be close to what you are looking for. use the search box on www.etsy.com
I found one at Brylane.com ... not an avocado but a dark limey green as well as some other colors. Not at all expensive!
These are called wholecloth quilts. Kohls has several in their Apt. 9 collection that are in this green family.
In 1976. My parents had this when I was a kid. Yikes!
yikes..there are a lot of pretty quilts out there....=(
My husband and I have a quilt almost just like that! We got it from Kohls - here's the link http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/bedroom/bedding/coverlets/PRD~c18245/Apt+9+Thyme+Quilted+Coverlet.jsp
Crate and Barrel - about three years ago. I have it. The flip side is a darker green. Comes with two duvets with light green/dark green sides.
I think this is the one @chestymcbigboobs (hee.) is referring to: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/bed-and-bath/all-decorative-bedding/plaza-peridot-bed-linens/f43147
Garnet Hill has a quilt like that called the Dream Quilt. I have it in birch and I love it. It's light-weight but looks crisp on the bed, and it's good for layering with something heavier in colder months. I can even throw it in the washer and dryer, still looks new after several washings.
You can find great vintage 70s bedspreads on eBay. They're usually inexpensive because most people have duvets now instead. But you're right that bedspreads look more MCM.
Target carries a reversible whole-cloth quilt. The quilting is in rows of ovals. I have it in bright green reversing to darker green. It's matte, not shiny like the picture above, and lightweight, so more suitable for summer.
this looks exactly like that but isnt a quilt.... pretty cheap too. no one would see the brown underside unless you folded it over
Have you looked anywhere yourself?
They are everywhere.
ikea had those a few years ago. i don't know if they still do.
I got one last year from Sferra 1891, the color/quilt is called gimlet. I see it available on ebay for a very high price. I got mine off of gilt or OKL for about a third of what they are going for on ebay.
I have Euro shams that look exactly like that quilt. I bought them from Crate & Barrel a couple of years ago.
The Target version others have mentioned would be my pick. I have it in gray and I love it.
My parents had a gold bedspread just like that one in the late 70's. I guess everything comes back around...
Amy Butler makes one that is two sided, its slightly more yellow but might work for you
I'm shocked at how things come back around, I hated my parents living room furniture, now I'd kill to have it! It was considered Danish Modern at the time.
For the bedspread, sounds like a lot of great source options have been mentioned, I'll just plug the DIY route. That you can get a wide-width fabric in a natural material (cotton, linen, silk) - dye it a custom color in your washing machine (I recommend Procion fiber reactive dyes because they bond with the fiber and don't impact your washing machine) - and have someone "quilt" the design you prefer on it. I can't resist, since I make textile art, that is so not a quilt in my book - not even a whole cloth quilt - it's a bedspread dangit.
Check out Sierra Trading Post online. They have one that is by Company C. It's called Shimmer Quilt. It's in a pretty moss green color, and it's a different patten, but all the same color. If you type in Company C Shimmer Quilt in the Search bar, you should be directed to it right away.
There are also matching pillow shams for the Company C Shimmer Quilt at Sierra Trading Post. Hope you can find something that you like from all the comments that have been posted.
Ditto LSUgrad03 and thorndale -- this is very retro and will probably show up on ebay.
As nearly as I can tell, there is one exactly like it in the Brylane Home catalog I just received. Check at brylanehome.com

White Gold WHITE GOLD: Gold is a precious metal which is naturally quite soft. To give it a white color and increase its strength, gold is alloyed with white metals, such as silver and/or palladium, and often plated with rhodium. The purity of the metal is indicated by a unit called a "karat," with 24kt having the highest percentage of natural gold.
Filigree FILIGREE: a term for gold or silver wire that has been twisted into patterns and soldered in place. Modern stamping techniques can replicate the decorative appeal of this ancient artform.

Ash: A season plot and an episode plot, you might say. And no other plots at all?
Ace: Sadly, no. Not for the past few seasons.
Ash: Can I go read my magazine -- hey, what's that? You're reading my Linux Journal. Double hypocrite. You said I couldn't and you always rag on how dull it is.
Ace: Not duller than this, baby. Not duller than this.
"And now everybody's in here-uh. Tawking." I think Spike must have some scenery stuck between his teeth because he's having a terrible time enunciating and sticking with an accent. "Everything I did. Everyone I…and him…and it...the other…the thing. Beneath you. It's here too." So is the thing "beneath her" the Spike entity, as she told him in "Fool for Love," or is it the morphing basement entity? Apparently the whole big rowdy party in his head agrees on one thing -- that he should go to Hell. Buffy looks horrified, appalled, something. She wants to know why Spike did this. Um, he already told you that, Buffster. Try to stay awake, okay? If I have to, you have to. "Buffy, shame on you," Spike says, "Why does a man do what he mustn't? To be hers. To be the kind of man who would never…" He catches sight of the cross on the altar and warbles, "And she shall look on him with forgiveness. And everybody will forgive and love. And he will be loved." Spike hugs the cross, leaning against it. Smoke begins to curdle upwards. "Can we rest now? Buffy, can we rest?" Two little tears run down Buffy's face. Maybe Spike can wipe them away with his plastic soul. And we fade to black as Spike has finally chewed through all possible scenery. Even those vamp incisors were no match for that metal cross.

|Agenda item 10.3
Modus operandi of the Ramsar Endowment Fund
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is requested to consider the way in which the Ramsar Endowment Fund to resource the Small Grants Fund should be established and take a decision on this matter. The Bureau has supplied a draft modus operandi as a discussion paper and has suggested a draft decision as well.
1. Resolution VIII.29 established the Ramsar Endowment Fund (REF) and authorized the Standing Committee to establish its modus operandi.

2. Project funding under the SGF shall continue to be done on the basis of the Operational Guidelines established by the Standing Committee after each meeting of the Conference of the Parties.

Jacquelin Goldman Congressional Fellowship
To provide developmental and clinical psychologists with an interest in policies that affect the psychological development of children with an invaluable public policy learning experience; to contribute to the more effective use of psychological knowledge in government; and to broaden awareness about the value of psychology-government interaction among psychologists and within the federal government.
Through a generous bequest to the American Psychological Foundation from Jacquelin Goldman, PhD, APA and APF are co-sponsoring a congressional fellow with an interest in policies that affect the psychological development of children. Applicants for this fellowship must have a background in developmental or clinical psychology and experience working directly with children. Fellowship activities may involve drafting legislation, conducting oversight work, assisting with congressional hearings and events, and preparing briefs and speeches. Fellows also attend a two-week orientation program on congressional and executive branch operations, which provides guidance for the congressional placement process, and participate in a yearlong seminar series on science and public policy issues. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) administers these professional development activities for the APA fellows and for fellows sponsored by over two dozen other professional societies.
APA and APF will sponsor up to one Jacquelin Goldman Congressional Fellow for a one-year appointment beginning Sept. 1, 2014. The Fellowship stipend ranges from $75,000 to $90,000, depending upon years of post-doctoral experience. In addition, the Fellowship provides reimbursement for health insurance coverage and a $3,750 stipend for professional development and relocation expenses during the fellowship year. Final selection of Fellows will be made in early spring of 2014.
Jacquelin Roberta Goldman, PhD, was professor emerita at the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology and the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida at the time of her death in November 2008. Dr. Goldman served at the University of Florida for 35 years before retiring in 1998. Among her many distinguished accomplishments, Dr. Goldman authored three psychology textbooks, published over 40 book chapters and professional articles, served as president of the American Board of Professional Psychology, and received honors that included Phi Beta Kappa, Who's Who of American Women, and the Audrey Schumacher Faculty Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching.

I enjoy evangelizing web performance because I enjoy things that are fast (and efficient). Apparently, I'm not the only one. Recent ad campaigns, especially for mobile, tout the virtues of being fast. Comcast uses the words "speed", "fastest", "high-speed", and "lightning-fast" in the Xfinity ads. AT&T's humorous set of commercials talks about how "faster is better". iPhone's new A6 chip is touted as "twice as fast".
