Slow-Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies
Think beyond stews: Uncover the sweet side of your slow cooker with these crowd-pleasing brownies.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 ounces)
Cook's Note
Step 1
Lightly coat a 5-quart slow-cooker insert with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment paper and lightly coat with spray. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Place butter and chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted. Add sugar; stir to combine. Stir in eggs. Add flour mixture, walnuts, and chocolate chips and stir just until moistened (do not overmix). Transfer to slow cooker and smooth top.
Step 3
Cover and cook on low, 3 1/2 hours. Uncover and cook 30 minutes. Remove insert from slow cooker and run a knife around edge to loosen brownies. Let cool completely in insert on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Turn out onto a work surface and cut into 14 brownies.

Kathy M 29 Jul, 2014
7-2014 I made this in my 5 qt. slow cooker, to the recipe, and the edges where way overcooked, and the center almost undercooked. The only thing I did was I had it cooling in the liner on a table and it was cut into after 1 hour (husband could not wait longer). Then, after they were left sealed in a plastic bag for 2.5 days at room temp and revisited, the edges were softer but still dry and the center was not as gooey. We are at 6,700 ft. so perhaps a high altitude adjustment is necessary.Reply
Teresha Aird 23 Nov, 2012
Just finished a batch of these and they are amazing. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't use walnuts (nut allergies) and I used enough baking paper to go up the sides of the insert so that none of hte mix was touching the insert. A few little bits on the edges are a tiny bit overcooked but at least 95% of the batch is perfect.Reply
Bettye 23 Sep, 2012
This recipe did not seem to work at first in my Krups slow cooker (slash rice cooker slash steamer), and I had to bake for much longer than 3 & 1/2 hours but in the end it was worth it.
Fortunately I had the extra time and didn't need the cooker for anything else. After about 6 hours these brownies came with us to a cook out and there literally wasn't a single person who didn't rave on and on about these. I am making them again in about 5 minutes. Yum!Reply
PatrickMitchell 1 Mar, 2012
Stealing a trick from another publication, I made a "collar" out of folded over aluminum foil and fitted it against the outside wall of the crock. This prevents (or at least greatly diminishes) the browning. Most slow cookers, in my experience, seem to get hottest nearest the control panel. The brownies themselves were wonderful!Reply
bethwankel 1 Mar, 2012
If you don't have a microwave, I assume you can melt the butter and chocolate on the stovetop?Reply

Make sure you use an insert. It will keep the sides from getting too done.Reply
lala_c 28 Jul, 2011
The burnt edges is a slow cooker issue. Some cookers might have a "hot spot" where it is just unevenly heated. Wonder what the solution might have to be.Reply
PABeck58 22 Jul, 2011
I had a similar experience with the burnt edges (only one side), I thought it was my slow cooker. However, everyone that tried them said that they were rich and fudgey, so they were a success overall.Reply
DebbieSchmidt 19 Jul, 2011
I didn't add the nuts, but followed the recipe to the letter. Maybe it's my slow cooker, but even on low the edges were burned after 3 hours. The middle section though, once I cut off the over-done edges was pretty good though.Reply

Authorities say an off-duty Tucson police officer was the victim of road rage that led to two separate crashes Wednesday night in the Foothills District.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Deputy Tracy Suitt said the off-duty officer was driving an unmarked vehicle when he merged onto Aviation Highway from 22nd Street about 11 p.m. and nearly collided with a pickup truck.
The driver of the truck, later identified as Eric Santos, 38, followed the officer through the downtown area and onto westbound Interstate 10.
As the officer slowed down to exit I-10 at Ina Road, Santos deliberately rammed into the officer's car, according to Suitt.
The officer then turned northbound on Thornydale Road and called 911.
Suitt said when the officer reached the intersection of Thornydale Road and Cortaro Farms Road, he had a red light, but made a left turn on the light to avoid confrontation with Santos.
Santos followed, making a left turn on the red light and collided with a car. The driver of the car and Santos were taken to the hospital but are expected to be OK.
The officer was not hurt in the incidents.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department Traffic Unit responded and is taking over the investigation.
Suitt said charges are pending.

Risen 2: Dark Waters Walkthrough
[Continued] Page 3
Treasure Island
Storm Island
The Isle of Thieves
The Water Temple
After you come to Antigua go straight past the tavern and to the left you come to a large white house which is the house of the Admiral, also known as the Captain's House. On the first floor - which you can reach by the stairs to the left of the lower floor, you can find a map of Antigua on the table - just take it. Alternatively, on the lower floor in the room to the right you can find a treasure map which also reveals the entire island.
After you land on Antigua, go to the tavern which is just infront of the dock. The keeper here's Spencer, talk to him and he confesses havving trouble moving goods between islands. He wants you to get the shipment which Booze owes him. So just head back to Tacarigua and ask Booze about the shipment. He gives you Rum to take back to Antigua.
If you go to the Fishermen's Hut in the south east side of Antigua, you meet one of the fishermen who tells you that he left his mate in a cave with a Hobgoblin and asks you for your help. The cave with the goblin is located here -
Go there and you fight the Hobgoblin at the entrance itself. Go further inside the cave straigth and you can meet the missing fisherman. tell him the goblin's dead and he goes back and mentions a treasure in this cave. The treasure is right from the central area, dig it up and go back to the Fishermen's Hut. If you speak to them again you can ask them to supply fish which are needed for a later quest.
You can meet old man Mac at his place here -
Talk to him and he tells you stories about all the Pirate Captains. Before he can continue with his tales, he wants you to get a package from Rick. Rick is the keeper of the storehouse to the left of Antigua's Tavern. Take the package back the Mac finishes all his stories.
Go straight past the Antigua Tavern and you come to a large house on top of some stairs. Go in, this is the Captains house where you meet Slayne. In the lower floor go to the room to the right and you can get a treasure map. You can take this treasure map to Rick because we need him to supply Gunpowder for Slayne's Ship. You can still go get the treasure.
After landing on Antigua, you can see the Tavern just ahead and if you go past the tavern a bit to the left, you will come to a large house on top of some stairs. Go in and you can see Slayne. Talk to him; he wants you to follow him to his ship were you can talk properly. Follow him then.
--Ship's Equipment
You can ask Slayne about his artifact and talk to him about Steelbeard and tell him that you got rid of Garcia. Slayne offer to help you find the dagger but it seems that the Admiral has banned all trade in Antigua and Slayne cannot get the supplies he needs so if we can get him his supplies, he will take us to where the Dagger is.
----The Cannon
First up is the cannon. Go behind the Tavern and you come to an old Gunsmith's House - Wilson. Talk to Wilson about the cannons and he refuses. However, we can get Wilson to give us Cannon. Head left from his house and you meet Henri, anotherr gunsmith. Talk to him and he has Wilson's beloved pistol. Ask Henri for the pistol and he challenges you telling that if you can shoot 8 out of 10 targets in a shooting match, he will give you the pistols.
Now, this can be a bit dufficult - but not impossible, I had at it for half an hour and only then I got it. The trick is to select your targets. You can actually miss a target twice before firing a shot - it means that you can let two objects fly past you before you take a shot each time but if you miss three times at once Henri stops throwing. So, you have two chances each time before you shoot - you just need to shoot at the third object. So, aim the gun in the mid right area of th screen and select you shots, shoot the ones which come around the center of the screen, let the other ones fly - remember that you can only let two fly away at once. If you manage everything then Henri gives you the gun which you can take to Wilson and he gives you the Cannons.
If you find that shooting is too difficult for you you can go to the front of the Admiral's house (in which you met Slayne) and talk to Grace. If you have enough persuation skill you can ask her to go give Wilson a good time or just pay her 1000 gold to do it. Talk to Wilson and he gives you the cannon this way too.
In the Tavern, you can talk to Morgan who is a Helmsman and is looking for a Job. Come back to him after you speak to Slayne and he agrees to join only if you can beat him in three contests, agree to him and follow him. The first is a duel - easy. The second is shooting - moderately difficult and the last is a drinking contest - very easy. After you beat him in all three games, he agrees to join Slayne.
----Powder Kegs
As soon as you come to Antigua, the first person who meets you is Rick who works at the store house to the left of the Tavern. Now, Rick here wants to find a treasure map and dig up a treasure so he can get out of this place. Thankfully, we can make his wish come true. Go to the Admiral's house which is the large one behind the tavern to the left and in the lower floor, there's a room to the right in which you can find a map. Go speak to Rick and give it to him and he gladly agrees to supply Powder Kegs.
----Water Barrels
Now, to get the water barrels you need to go to the pond just outside the port -
Walk to the Captain's house and go right into the forest and you come to the pond in question. Talk to the old guy here and he tell's you that there's no water for anyone until Butch is taken care of. Go talk to butch who is just ahead. Talk to him about everything and go back to the old man who tells you that you can take Butch to the cave nearby with the promise of treasure and beat him up there. Go back to Butch adn talk to him about the cave and the treasure. Follow him to the cave and then beat the living day lights out of him and go back to the old guy who agrees to start supplying water.
----Fresh Fish
Here's the location of the fishermen's hut -
Go in and speak to the guy here who tells you that he and his friend went into a cave looking for treasure and when they saw a Hobgoblin this guy left his friend and got out of the cave. The cave is here -
Go in and kill the goblin. Move further inside and you will find the other fisherman - Duncan. Talk to him and tell him that you killed the goblin and he goes back to the hut. Go to the hut and inform the other friend of the good news and he agrees to suppy you with fish.
After all that Slayne is ready to take you to the Isle of Thieves.
We need to locate the Water fall first, it's here -
To the left of that area you come to a chest and to the right of the chest is a path leading up to a gate -
You come to the metal gate at which you need to give Garcia's password. You also come across a grave spider. Kill it and you will see the X on the ground. Dig it up to get Steelbeard's Artifact.
Go to the Admira's house and to the left till you get to some graves. You can also reach there by going left all the way from the tavern and right into the sand. You can look for Nasir's grave and dig it up. Strangely, you will not find the first note, go back to your ship and talk to Harlok. He agrees to show you the location of the Island and you can now travel to Treasure Island.
Hope you remember Eldritch - the druid. You can meet Eldritch here -
Talk to him and he tells you about the gargoyles, their eggs and also the Air Temple. You can find and kill all the Gargoyles along the coast line here and around the area on both sides of the stream of water that runs along the cross-section of the Island. The nests where you find eggs (you can get two in one and three in the other) are located here -
The second treasure can be reached if you go behind Eldritch - it's just opposite to the entrance of a cave.
They are near the Gargoyles themselves so you cannot miss them. Talk to Eldritch after you kill and take th Gargoyle's Eggs and ask him to join your crew. He can now take you to the Storm Island where the Air Temple is located.
Legendary Items
-- The Peg Leg
You get info on The Peg leg if you read the book in the Fisherman's Hut.
--The Broken Rattle
The info on The Broken Rattle is in the house which is to the right of the Antigua Tavern.
--The Flask
Info on the Flask is in the house behind the Tavern in the first floor - I think this is Wilson's House.
--The Hangman's Noose
In the Captain's House where you meet Slayne, there's a book in the room to the right in the bottom floor. Read it to get the info.
--The Left Boot
The left boot can be found here -
It's just there on the ground so watch carefully for a single boot.
Treasure Island
We can finally go to the legendary Treasure Isle in search of the greates treasure ever to be possessed by a Pirate Captain. After you land on the Island, talk to Patty. You can and must only take Patty onto the Island so ask her to go with you and take the row boat to the Island.
From where you are standing on the Island, go straight into the think woods. Keep going and you will come to the Monkey Trap - three gorilla's are just ahead of you and two more are on top of the paths to the left and right. Kill all five Gorillas - we did not have Steelbeard's first page but if we did then it would have warned us of this trap. We can get Harlok later anyway so continue to the metal gate ahead and pick up the Journal on the ground. Use the lever to the rigth to open the gate, then go thru.
--The Path of the Righteous
If you read the second page then it states that you will survive only if you go on the right path - so just go right. Actually, if you take any other path then you come to a trap with a chest past it. So keep going and then you come to a divide again, go right again and you come to a bed and some things, if you continue ahead you will get out of the cave and come into the Mangrove Jungle.
--The Mangrove Jungle
The Mangrove Jungle is such that if you go on the wrong path you will have to counter one or more probably, two Alleygators. So, here's te right path for you (I really went the wrong ways just to kill all the Gators). At the first divide go right and you come to a Sunken one. Kill it and go left and you should be seeing another Sunken one from the distance.
Just behind this Sunken One is the Totem Pole which was mentioned in the third page. There are gold coins at the foot of the totem telling you which direction you are to go.
Go right from the Totem Pole and you will come to the Double Palm Tree. You need to go north from the double palm tree - which is the path to the left.
After that you come to the grave.
----The Chest Key
----The Correct Chest
The Grave has a torch lit on the left and right. You first need to fo left from the grave (for the key). You will face a few Sunken Ones here but keep going to the right side and you will see the key and four treasure maps. Go back to the grave and continue to the other side and you will come to the Monolith.
Go right from the monolith.
The correct grave having the treasure is the one to the left. Dig it and take your treasure and you also find "The Pirate's Almanac" legendary item which is the best item in the game since it gives you an extra 10% Glory Bonus - Steelbeard also mentions in his Journal that this is more valuable than any treasure.
Now, we need to take care of Harlok. Go back to the ship and face away from the ship to the woods. Go on the path to the left and you come to Harlok in the end. You can choose to kill him or maroon him on the Island.
Storm Island
Go to the now available Storm Island - you can only get here if you spoke to Eldritch on Antigua and killed all the Gargoyles and brought him all the five Gargoyle Eggs. You will soon understand the significance of those eggs.
Talk to Eldritch and take him in your party and go onto the Island. Go straight and you have to fight a lot of Sunken Ones. Keep going on the beach and in the end you can meet a sailor who was marooned on this island long ago. Speak to him and tell him you will get him out of here and also ask him if he has any gargoyle eggs. Now, after he gives you the location, follow him to his hut which is straight and on the path to the right - you can find a map of the island on a barrel ouside his house.
Track the chest full of eggs quest from your logbook and look into your map. You should be able to see the X mark where the chest is. Go there and take the three eggs in the chest - it is absolutely necessary that you have all the eggs - only then you can complete the quests on this island.
Ofcourse, the main reason we came to the Air Temple was to eradicate all the Gargoyles. As you go up the path to the left of the beach and to the top, you will always fight gargoyles every few yards away. You need to kill all the Gargoyles and not only that, you also need to collect all the eggs so here is a map showing you the locations of all eggs. The eggs are exactly near where you fight the gargoyles so look around after killing them. You can also see the Magical eysers which are on the mountain. There are a total of three on the path. You need five eggs so that Eldritch can make a vial of serum to close one Geyser. So collect all the eggs and close the three Geysers on your way to the top.
After you come to the temple, you will see a barrier preventing you from going in. It will only dispell if you closed all three geysers so go back if you did not. Then go in and you will fight the general of the Sunken - no biggie. Go inside the temple and kill the last of the Gargoyles and collect the three eggs here and you should have enough to shut the last Geyser too. Go back to your ship and talk to Eldritch.
Eldritch tells you that the Gargoyles may already have spread to nearby Islands so he asks you to go to each Island and check for Gargoyles.
First go to Caldera and talk to Eldritch who tells you that the Gargoyles may not have come here. Even though there are no Gargoyles, you have to come to Caldera for the quest to progress.
--The Isle of the Dead / Treasure Island
Go to the Isle of the Dead and talk to Eldritch again and he tells you that there are no gargoyles.
--The Sword Coast
--The Isle of Thieves
--Maracai Bay
For the remaining places you need to go to each island and talk to Eldritch woh then asks you to speak to a person you know on the island. On Tacarigua you can talk to Booze, Maracai Bay - Valdez, Sword Coast - Chani. After you talk to the people they mark the possible locations of Gargoyles on the map. Track this quest and you can see the X marks on the map. Go there and kill the Gargoyles and collect their eggs and go back to Eldritch. On the Isle of Thieves there are only three Gargoyles, you come across them when followig Slayne into the Jungle. The eggs are where you fight them so look nearby. After you take all of them, go talk to Eldritch the next time you can and he gives you 2500 gold as a reward.
And now we start the final part of the game. Go to the Isle of Thieves and head onto the Island - you'll go alone. Talk to Slayne who takes you towards the cave. On your path, you come across three Gargoyles and three eggs which are the last for The Swarm quest. After Slayne takes you to the cave...
Go inside the cave all the way and you fight a few enemies and then come out. As soon as you come out, you will see Sunken Ones ahead in a line. Start killing all of them and next to the last Sunken One you will find a note in a bottle. The note is a treasure map which will also reveal the entire Island and now you can see your map to move around along with the pics here.
So we officially are Marooned on an unkonwn Island supposedly inhabited by Gnomes.
Go to where you ship was and continue right from there and you will meet your first Gnome - Jaffar. Talk to Jaffar about everything - all the dialogues and he tells you that he needs to get away from this Island too and he will build a raft if we can supply him with the following -
1) Five Vines - All Gnome houses have vines infront of them and there are five houses and so you can get five veins. Just remember to check outside (to the left of the door of each house).
2) Ten Logs - You can find all the logs here -
Go to the beach and you will find the logs laying around. Go a bit to the left and you will also see the remaining logs on the beach itself.
3) Five Shirts - The Gnomes give you shirts as you do favours for them - the quests which give the shirts are below.
The town is just behind Jaffar's House and you can go there from the right where Jaffar lives. The first house you come to is to the right - Zeki in here wants us to find a Crown which some termites have stolen. Mark this quest and go to where the X mark is. The entrance to the cave is north of the X mark on the map. Return to Zeki with the crown and he gives you a few shirts.
The next house to the right is Ulvi's and she tells you that Kalil is missing. You can find Kalil near the place where you find the logs for the raft -
Talk to Ulvi after you rescue Kalil and she gives you a Black Pearl. Take the Pearl to the house opposite to here and you can meet Nuri. If you give him the pearl, he gives you the remaining shirts you need.
Talk to Kaan who is in the last house to the right and he wants you to kill the Gnome Eater. You can go to the eater if you take the path which is to the right from Kaan's house.
The gnome eater is the most difficult being to kill in the entire game. Only because it can hurt you really bad and you can barely scratch it. One of the Gnomes also seels explosives which you need to use against the eater. You will definitely need more than a few explosives too but after you kill it, talk to Kaan and he clears up everything.
Talk to Kaan about Jaffar andd he wants you to become his master and all that. Go back to Jaffar and you will get the whole explanation of Auri Culci. You do not need to go looking for the Auri Culci because you will know what Jaffar is looking for at the end of the game.
Talk to jaffar and give him all the equipment he needs and he asks you to meet him near the western beach. Go west on your map to the small beach and you will find Jaffar and his raft. Take it and you go to Tacarigua. You can find your ship in the same spot in Tacarigua - opposite to Booze's Tavern.
Go back to Antigua and to the Admiral's house where you find Slayne. After a bit of talk, you are to duel him. Track this quest and you can see the place you should meet him on your map. Go there and take care of him and you finally have the Dagger.
You will receive the Flask from Kaan after you kill the Gnome Eater.
The Water Temple
After you kill Slayne and posses all the four artifacts, talk to Patty. Then bring back Steelbeard's Ghost with the Skull Scepter and talk to him about the location of the Water Temple, he gives you the location and if you set sail now, you can reach it. But before you go there make sure you have lots of rum and gorg because you will be in some big fights.
As soon as you get near the temple you meet the Kraken. The Kraken only smashes it's tentacles on the ship. You can kill it only with the Titan Harpoon/spear. When the Kraken opens it's mouth, thrwo the spear inside to hit it. You need to keep throwing for a long time to kill it - about eight times atleast but it may vary. It keeps moving from one side of the ship to another so look at it's head to see where it's going. To avoid getting smashed, just run around the ship and see where the tentacles are hitting and stay away from those spots to avoid them. After you kill the Kraken, you can land in the Water Temple.
To tell you the truth, the worst is over. Now all you need to do is get inside the temple and take out Mara. But the temple is guarded by a lot of beasts. Talk to one of your crew to take them with you and the rest help you fight too. Get inside the temple and you will be in the final battle with Mara herself.
Mara is just like any other sword fight, remember to parry and ripopste and counter. She may rise and summon some sea devils. Kill them and get back to her. If she starts hitting though, she will not stop so try to get away from her attacks. After you kill Mara, go talk to Jaffar and he tells you what his Auri Culci is. Also, talk to the rest of the crew about their thoughts after Mara is dead.
You can still explore the entire world and do anything you may have missed.

Recipe Review: Gwyneth Paltrow's Quick Roast Chicken
I thought Gwyneth Paltrow's recipe for roast chicken with potatoes from her website GOOP looked interesting, so I decided to test it in my own kitchen. The verdict? It's quite good, actually. Just the kind of recipe to have on hand for when you want a casual but delicious meal in less than an hour. Read on for more details.
The recipe calls for the chicken to be partially deboned and roasted with lemon, fresh herbs, garlic, and a tumble of peeled and blanched potatoes. I gave it a try over the weekend and here's what I discovered.
CONS: The only real problem I have with the recipe (and the video) is the lack of instructions on how to remove the thigh bone from the chicken. The comment "just kinda get the meat away the bone..." isn't enough and in the video the camera inconveniently pans up to Ms. Paltrow's face when the technique is being demonstrated. I ended up skipping this step since I was having someone over for dinner and didn't want to serve a mutilated chicken. It's suggested that you can ask your butcher to do this for you, which is true, but some close-ups of the technique and tips on how I could do this for myself would have been helpful.
She also doesn't suggest that you save the thigh and back bones for stock, which I would absolutely do — just pop them into a plastic bag and into the freezer until you have enough parts saved up for you favorite stock recipe.
And a final, minor quibble. I would have liked to have seen the chicken being cut into serving pieces. This step is often intimidating to new cooks, so some instruction would have been nice.
PROS: I like her technique for parboiling the potatoes first and then shaking them up to fuzz their surface, which helps to crisp the outsides when roasting. This technique isn't new or unique, by the way, which Ms. Paltrow admits when she says she learned it in England. But it does work. Just don't shake the pot too vigorously or you'll smash the potatoes. (Ahem.)
Everything else worked out great in the recipe. I liked the suggestion to leave the lemon in the pan so it caramelizes and found the technique of slipping the fresh herbs under the chicken to be really effective: the herbs gently permeate the chicken while cooking, leaving a not-to-overpowering flavor.
The chicken came out with a crispy skin and moist, tender, flavorful meat. If you master your boning skills (or have your butcher do it for you) this recipe should produce exactly what Ms. Paltrow says it does: an absolutely delicious, quick dinner.
The printed version of the recipe is on the GOOP website, here. There is also a recipe for a salad, which I didn't test, although the dressing with mustard, maple syrup and shallot sounded good.

Gwyneth eats chicken?
Wasn't she a long time vegetarian on Spain: On the Road Again?
I thought she was a vegan.....
She peels potatoes like she's never done it before! Found comedy. Thanks for this.
There was a blind item about her last year about how she has a hired cook and doesn't actually know how to cook herself, that it's all a farce.
I love Gwyneth as an actress but I don't quite believe her in this domestic role.
On a chicken note. None of the grocery stores around her carry nice roasting chickens. Only cheap fryers. It's been years since I've had one.
I always butterfly my chickens before roasting them. Just cut out the backbone and flatten it with our hand. It still cooks in about an hour, especially if you pull the thighs away from the chicken body and kind of prop them open - not that attractive, but they cook faster and you get nice crispy skin.
"The colours are just *gorge*!" (ugh)
The way they made the video, it looks as if she didn't wash her hands or cutting board, and went straight to handling lettuce and raw vegetables for the salad...
I do like that she showed how to parboil potatoes and then "fur" them; I learned how to do it from Delia Smith.
Probably the best version of butterflied roasted chicken with potatoes I've tried was on America's Test Kitchen:
A bit more labour intensive, but worth it.
i noticed the same thing as mschatelaine and as someone who may be a bit obsessive about food safety after getting food poisoning a couple of times i really hate when on cooking shows they don't show boards, hands, knives, etc being cleaned or at least mention that it should/has been done.
We just finished dinner (here in Switzerland), and it was swoon-worthy: I made the version of butterflied chicken in the chowhound recipe (with a composed butter), and made the Zuni Café bread salad as a side -- along with the "furred" roast potatoes.
The potatoes are easy and delicious, but if you have time (and happen to have a great loaf of stale bread it would be a shame to throw out, like I did), then try to make the Zuni bread salad -- it is the perfect accompaniment to the chicken.
Will try the potatoes that way next time I roast chicken. I have never de-boned a chicken, will have to try that too.
I almost feel sorry for Gwyneth, seems like she irritates people alot. Personally, I like her.
i remember reading an article where she said she quit the weird food diets she had been on because of her kids....so maybe thats why she has chicken now? lol
i thought goop was a bad idea (because what could gwyneth paltrow know about domesticity?) but its actually a nice weekly email that I enjoy getting.
I would suggest that if you are a Ms Paltrow of the movie business you would not be
into saving bits and pieces of chicken bones in the freezer for future stocks.

"Instead of not doing anything, I told myself this is going to be a fight and this is going to be a fight that everybody is going to know," she said.
In a video explaining her situation, Duong said she is having difficulty finding a comparable donor because "ethnic groups are under-represented in the international (stem cell donor) registry. It seems we don't give out our stem cells and this is a huge problem."
In Quebec, fewer than 0.5 per cent of the 47,000 registered stem cell donors are of Asian descent, Laurent-Paul Ménard, a spokesperson for Héma-Québec, said.
There is no registry in Vietnam.
"On the international level, there's a similar problem because we're talking about 1.9 per cent of (Asian) donors in the American registry and 0.9 per cent in the international registry," he added.
"There is a really important need for (donor) recruitment in the Asian community."
Dr. Gizelle Popradi, a hematologist who runs the MUHC stem cell transplant program, said patients who are not Caucasian are at a disadvantage because of the lack of well-matched registered donors. Is it a crisis? "It all depends on your perspective," she said. "If you are that one person who needs a transplant and you can't find a donor because people like you aren't represented on the registry, then sure it's a crisis."
As an advertising and communications professional, Duong knew how to spread the word — fast. She sent out an international SOS through social media and her own website. She gave interviews to a U.S.-based Vietnamese television channel and local media. She reached out to the 150,000-strong Vietnamese community in Canada — not just for her own sake, but for all others in a similar situation.
"A lot of people don't have that media exposure and they still need a transplant," she said. "I hope this will save my life, for sure, but I'm happy it will save many lives.
"My doctors are happy, too," she added. "They tell me this is a global problem that they've been trying to tackle for years."
Messages of support have been flooding in from around the world and stem cell swab drives have been held in the Canada, the U.S., Switzerland and Vietnam. Now, Duong said, she is hopeful of finding that elusive stem cell donor who shares her genetic makeup.
On Monday, Duong said she wasn't running a fever or experiencing any side effects from the chemotherapy needed to keep her cancer at bay. But her health is unpredictable. "There are a lot of unknowns," she said. "My immune system is still at zero. I'm living day-by-day."
Duong was first diagnosed with leukemia in January 2013 when she was 15-weeks pregnant. Her pregnancy had to be terminated and she underwent a month of intensive chemotherapy.
After her treatment, she was in "tip top shape," she said. Neither she nor her doctor expected the cancer to return. Now that it has, she is going through another round of chemotherapy in isolation. While in hospital, Duong is doing her best to be a virtual mom to her 4-year-old daughter, Alice. They usually communicate twice a day, once in the morning and again at night, via iPhone.
"We Facetime a lot," she said. "I try to discipline her over the phone. Don't do this, don't do that.
"I try to reason with her" to take a bath, for example, she said. "But it's really difficult when I'm just a screen."
It's difficult to think of the future, but Duong says she has one thing one her mind. "I just want to get home and play with my daughter. That's my only plan," she said.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Uganda's Olympic champion Stephen Kiprotich showed he was no one-hit wonder by breaking Kenya's stranglehold on the men's marathon at the world championships with victory in two hours nine minutes 51 seconds on Saturday.
Kiprotich was the surprise winner at last year's London Games but started as one of the favorites in Moscow and became the first non-Kenyan to win the title since 2005.
Ethiopia's Boston marathon winner Lelisa Desisa was second in 2:10:12 and compatriot Tadese Tola took third a further 11 seconds back on a warm sunny day in the Russian capital.
Part of a large leading pack for most of the race on a course which included three 10km loops along the Moskva river turning at the iconic Red Square, Kiprotich began pushing the pace just after the 30-km mark and the group slowly started to break up.
With just over two kilometers to go, the battle for gold was between Kiprotich and Desisa and the Ugandan finally broke his rival as they ran through the Olympic Park and entered the stadium alone, waving to the crowd.
Kiprotich had a quick look back across the bright blue track when a cheer went up as Desisa entered the stadium but there was half a lap between them and the Ugandan ran through the finishing tape with his arms in the air and a smile on his face before bowing to the crowd.
"I realized I could win after 40km. Then I just kept pushing. I decided to break off but my competitors were strong and I had to apply some tactics," the 24-year-old told reporters.
"I prepared for the race really well. It is fantastic that I actually train together with six of my competitors, said Kiprotich who is coached by Kenya's 1992 Olympic steeplechase silver medalist Patrick Sang in Eldoret.
It was Uganda's second ever world championship gold after Dorcus Inzikuru won the women's 3,000 steeplechase in 2005.
Peter Some in ninth was the first Kenyan finisher for a team that was missing twice world champion Abel Kirui through injury.

A beginner specifically looking for a DSLR experience who may want to eventually take a little control over shooting settings.
Not So Good For
Those looking for lots of easily accessible, reliable in-camera effects modes and features, Wi-Fi, fast focusing in live view, and those who want to regularly take control over more camera settings.
User Reviews
Moving back was actually a move forward.
I've owned a number of Nikon DSLRs, including D70, D50, D80, D5000 and D5100. In 2011 I switched to a Fujifilm X10 for compactness and portability. Later I bought a Fujifilm X-S1 to complement the X10 with a 24-264mm range. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon some very good D3300 images, and it piqued my interest. I downloaded some raw images from a review site, and processed them with ViewNX2. They were stunning! I'm a week into my D3300 experience as an owner. I have the 18-55 VR II kit lens ...

Questions & Answers
What is the best DX Nikon for noise?
I'll admit this is a bit of a long shot, as it's a very technical question, but here we go... Which is the best Nikon DX camera for low-light performance? That is, which performs best in terms of noise? It's time to upgrade my D60, and it's a great time to do it because Nikon has so many models on the market, past models are an absolute steal on ebay. It's a choice between the D3100, D3200, D3300, D5100, D5200, D5300. Although the D7000 is lovely, I don't want a camera that big and heavy - the small size and weight of the smaller models is important for me. I've scoured dpreview.com and there doesn't seem to be much difference between these models. Higher resolution = more noise BUT = more detail which kind of makes up for the increased noise. Very confusing!
The D3200, D3300, D5200 and D5300 all have very similar noise levels at the same ISO. The D5300 and D5200 do 14 bit in the camera for the image processing pipeline, so they are a bit better than the D3200 and D3300, but only at the very, very extremes. As for even older models, the D3000 has the same 10 MP sensor that is found in your D60, but without the old Nikon colors so skip it, so matter how cheap it is. The D3100 is 14 MP and a decent camera, but the D3200 and D3300 are better. The D5000 has the same sensor as the D90 and is a slight step up regarding noise and White Balance in incandescent light, however the D5100, D5200 and D5300 are even better. The D5100 is a fine camera at 16 MP and the first camera (in this series) that you can get decent results at ISO 6400 if you are careful with exposure and if you are shooting in light near 5000-5600 Kelvin (sunlight). So I would put the D5000 as very marginal unless bought for a song, the D3100 and D5100 are only worth looking into ... Continue Reading
You are correct! It used to be bad... Here is a shot I took last week at ISO 1600 using my D200: I applied some Topaz Denoise and its usable: So yes, the older cameras are BAD for high ISO. However, they type of noise they create does clean up very easily. I don't shoot high ISO much so I still use the D200. Continue Reading
Once you hit the 12Mp pixels sensors the sensors all about the same for noise (but not dynamic range) Continue Reading
White Outlines
I'm a noob, just bought a Nikon D3300 a couple of months ago. I'm also a history buff, so I decided that my first self imposed project is to photograph the historic buildings in my hometown of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and this is the first. I did process this with Lighroom, a noob at that also, adjusted the highlights and shadows, but not much more. I'm pretty pleased with the results, from a noob point of view. But I did notice one odd detail. Across the top of the flags and building is a white outline. This is present in the original photo before Lightroom, just stands out more post Lightroom. What caused this? Shot with the 18-55mm VR II kit lens, F10, iso200, 32.0mm And thanks to Dpreview and members, has helped me a lot getting started. Jim Linkous
Did you shoot raw or JPG? (See below). There are two possible reasons. First, sharpening. Although we commonly talk about the sharpness of an image the term really covers two related things: resolution and acutance. Think of two equal sets of parallel lines, black on white and grey on white. If you look at them closely you'll be able to make out both sets, but as you pull back the grey set will soon merge to a uniform smear. The black set will eventually do that too but only from further back. The sets are equal - they have the same resolution - but the black set looks crisper. That's because there's more contrast at the edges - black-to-white is easier to make out than grey-to-white - higher acutance. When we apply "sharpening" to our images what we really do is increase local contrast at the edges. Software slightly darkens a zone on the darker side of an edge and slightly lightens a zone on the brighter side of it. We tend not to notice the darker zone. What stands out is the ... Continue Reading
There's a well-known photography pundit who recommends very high levels of in-camera "sharpen", along with a lot of other nonsense. It could be that the OP has been influenced by some "suggested settings". I'm usually content with JPEG for recreational photography, but I do some RAW as well. I try to get everything close as possible "In-camera", and that's probably a good idea for the OP at his stage of development. The JPEGs will, at the very least, be good reference shots while PP skills are developed; some experience at PP sharpen will soon wean anyone of sharpen in-camera. Continue Reading
Good job on the courthouse picture. You're doing everything right - keeping the camera level, the ISO down, and the lens zoomed to the middle of its range where it works best. f/10 might be half a stop more than you need - f/8 would probably be plenty for the depth of field needed. That's a very small point. When you posted your first picture, iljitsch commented that it could have used a bit more head room above the building. I think this new shot is a bit crowded there too. It wouldn't hurt to have a little extra sky. Good luck with your project! Continue Reading
Night shooting w/Nikon D3300
Hello, so I just got a D3300 and went downtown to do some night shooting and to my chagrin I was unable to see a preview of exposure changes while in live view under normal shooting operation. Not to mention the fact that I can't change aperture settings while in live view, but I realize the hardware limitation there. I can switch to manual movie mode and that will show exposure changes but then it wont allow me to reduce down below a 1/30th shutter speed. My problem is that when shooting a dark subject I need to be able to see it in order to focus on it. The trick I found that helps is that I can switch to movie mode, and crank up the ISO, then digizoom in and focus, then turn the ISO back down to a reasonable level, turn the movie mode off so that I can now reduce the shutter speed down so that I can have proper exposure. However annoying that may be, it works... unless the subject is super dim. I was just trying to get a shot of my car in super dim light and even with the shutter ...
Right. Nikon don't do that. It's not really intended for use with live view. It has lousy live view. Use the viewfinder. Well, if the shutter speed is longer than 1/30th it won't be able to shoot 30 frames per second. It's too dark to see through the viewfinder? That seems like it's too dark to take a picture. Use the viewfinder. It's that window over the LCD display. Continue Reading
Leonard, to my knowledge the viewfinder does not show exposure changes and therefore would not allow me to see my subject for focusing. And yes, I understand why it can't go below 1/30th in movie mode. I believe one of the reasons why I have the option of decreasing my shutter speed is to take photos of dimly lit subjects. I can take the same photo with my friends T3i so I don't know how you can definitively say that it's too dark to take a picture when you can't see it through the viewfinder. Why would you try to make rules that stifle creativity? Additionally, the digital zoom doesn't work with the viewfinder so getting crisp focus on distant subjects is more difficult, especially for a beginner like me. You're reply wasn't constructive in the least. Continue Reading

Finally, perhaps, this is bigger than personal safety. It's about rescuing our humanity.
Two images compete for my attention as I write this, a month after Newtown, a week after the shooting at a high school in Taft, Calif., with hundreds of murders in between. One image is of Robbie Parker, father of slain 6-year-old Emilie, offering public condolences to the family of the shooter and pleading, through his tears, "Let it" — the murders of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School — "not turn into something that defines us, but something that inspires us to be more compassionate and humble people."
The other image is of Americans flooding gun stores from coast to coast, buying semiautomatics and other weapons in the wake of feared new gun laws.
This land is your land, this land is my land. Whatever dialogue, whatever change, emerges from the slaughter at Sandy Hook must embrace not only a father's torn heart and yearning to forgive, but the gun-store fear stampede and people's desire and need to protect themselves. I confess to not knowing how they can reconcile, only that they must — if we are to build a new world that addresses both long- and short-term needs for safety, fairness, sustainability and human connection.
"Eleven of my 40 years in the justice system were spent as a police officer," William Cox wrote to me, responding to what I am calling the Empowerment Project. Last week I had asked people to send me stories of unarmed dispersion of danger, and such stories have begun flowing in. The idea is to celebrate human empowerment. Our choices are not either to shoot back or cower in the corner, which seems to be the limit of the pop-culture debate. A sense of empowerment does not require being armed; it requires being present and aware.
". . . and there were at least five times when I could have legally shot someone," Cox's letter continued, "including once in a face-to-face encounter with a man with a gun who had just shot a woman. In each case, I was able to convince the person to drop their weapon and to avoid having the death of another on my conscience."
This begins to set the stage for what's possible. "Courage, I had to learn," peace activist Robert Riversong wrote to me, describing his encounters with angry counter-protesters, "did not mean the absence of fear, but the transcendence of fear and the maintenance of the humanity of all parties."
Libbe H., a five-foot two-inch woman and survivor of childhood sexual abuse, wrote: "I spent much of my life afraid to be out in the world by myself. Even going to an unfamiliar restaurant at night seemed dangerous. It seriously stunted my life for many years."
Then, in her 30s, she took two courses from Impact Personal Safety, and learned how a woman can stand up for herself. "I've used these techniques perhaps four times in 20 years," she wrote, describing the most confrontational moment, an encounter with an angry driver at a gas station, who thought she had cut him off:
"As I began pumping gas, he came barreling towards me. Instead of cowering, running, crying or anything else 'typically female,' I stood my ground, put out my right arm/hand in the 'stop' position and said, 'Stop!' It was like he had run into a wall. . . . He then started yelling at me. . . . I remained in the 'stop' position and kept my running response of, 'You need to back away. You need to go now. You are not allowed to talk to me that way. You need to back up and go back to your car. . . .'"
If he'd given an indication he was going to physically attack her, she would have dropped to the ground, kicked out at his knee and further protected herself. "But by this time others in the crowded gas station were watching and he realized I wasn't going to give way, so he cursed me out and walked away. I finished pumping my gas and left."
While some of the people who wrote to me had studied martial arts and other self-defense techniques, others had not, but managed to contain or defuse dangerous situations simply by refusing to act like victims. "Take the attitude of 'What the hell do you think you are doing?!' rather than 'Why me?'" wrote Kathryn Hanson. She added: "Predators are most generally cowards."
This observation was brought up in one way or another by a number of correspondents. Ann T., for instance, wrote about an armed robbery as her family was leaving a motel room. "The robbers were as scared as we were," she said. "When I realized this, I also realized they didn't want to hurt anyone, they just wanted money, or something to pawn. This realization helped me stay calm."
The notion that assailants are vulnerable is the key, and it contradicts the gun lobby's "beware of monsters" motif. The shooting last week at Taft Union High School bears this out. A deeply troubled 16-year-old student brought a 12-gauge shotgun to school and seriously wounded a boy in one classroom, but before he could do further harm, the teacher and an administrator succeeded in convincing him to stop shooting and hand over his weapon. "Bryan, don't shoot," the teacher said.
I pause here, as the boy and his teacher stare at each other and their humanity fills the terrifying interval. "I don't want to shoot you," the boy says.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The Wyoming Army National Guard unit will be deployed this month for a stint in the Persian Gulf region.
The Guard says 162 soldiers from the Laramie-based 133rd Engineer Company will deploy on April 12.
The unit will be deployed for 400 days and provide base security in Bahrain. It will spend more than a month of training at Camp Shelby, Miss., followed by nine months in Bahrain.
The unit's soldiers are from throughout Wyoming as well as Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska and Utah.
Lt. Col. Joseph Huss of the Wyoming Army National Guard says this is the first non-engineering deployment in the unit's history.
The 133rd company was last deployed in November 2004 to Iraq to perform engineering missions.

Beat the S&P With These 5 Shareholder Yield Champs
Mondelez International
Like AOL, Mondelez International ( MDLZ) is a spinoff stock. Mondelez is Kraft's former snack business, a $35 billion annual enterprise that suddenly started trading under a very new name a little over a year ago. The Mondelez name may not be very familiar to most consumers yet, but its brands should be: the firm owns names like Oreo, Cadbury, Trident gum and Ritz crackers.
>>5 Breakout Trades to Take Ahead of the FedUnlike most diversified food companies, Mondelez has some big advantages in the snack food category. For example, private label competition is less invasive than in staple foods. That takes huge pressure off of the firm's margins, especially in a market where input costs are providing pressure enough. Emerging markets hold an attractive opportunity for Mondelez because the firm is already so deeply entrenched in them; developing countries already contribute 40% of the firm's total sales today. MDLZ's spinoff unlocked a lot of value for shareholders -- and much of it remains on its balance sheet. As I write, MDLZ sports $2.5 billion in cash as well as a very tenable $18 billion long-term debt position. Mondelez has been hitting its debt load hard in the last year, wiping out almost half of its obligations on top of a "modest" $2 billion dividend payout. Mondelez hasn't had any trouble prioritizing shareholder value in 2013. While this stock isn't cheap, it's got a lot of open runway in front of it too.

Cougars Set for Pair of NSIC Matchups
SIOUX FALLS, SD – Sioux Falls looks to capture their first conference victory in their first-ever NSIC games held at the Stewart Center. The Cougars host Concordia University-St. Paul Friday, December 14 and Minnesota State University, Mankato Saturday December 15. Neither team is a familiar opponent, as combined USF has faced the two teams 12 times in the last 40 seasons. Following a 37-year hiatus, USF and Concordia squared off for a non-conference contest last fall, which resulted in a 20-point Golden Bear win.
Fast Break
• Friday marks the sixth meeting all-time between USF and Concordia. Dating back to 1972-73, the Cougars claimed the first four meetings, but were defeated by the Golden Bears last season, which made the series 4-1, USF.
• The Cougars currently rank fifth in the nation for scoring defense (55.9).
• USF head coach Chris Johnson was a graduate assistant at Minnesota State from 1999-2001.
• Including three matchups with NSIC members last season, USF has dropped seven straight against conference opponents.
• Saturday will be USF's first meeting with Minnesota State in nine years (12/03). The Cougars have dropped three of the last four contests against the Mavericks, who own a 5-2 advantage all-time.
• The Cougars average 9.57 steals per game which is the best mark in the NSIC.
• USF netted a season-high nine 3-pointers in last weekend's dual at Augustana.
• The Cougars have recorded 19 consecutive victories at home. Their last home loss came against Dordt (2/11).
