Quiet, clean and pleasant rooms in a conveniently situated and revitalized residential waterfront district, 10 minutes walk to the city centre, yet only a 25-minute journey from the airport. Friendly atmosphere. Secure cellar for cycle storage. There are two clean, light, quiet, and comfortable guest rooms: * Double room with twin beds, private entrance, free wi-fi, cable TV, hair dryer, electric kettle and free tea/coffee. * Single room with private entrance, free WiFi, radio, electric kettle and free tea/coffee. An extra bed is available for this room. The WC/shower is shared and just a step from the rooms, and although small, it is a fine example of practical Danish design. Linen, soap and towels are included. (Sorry, 3rd floor, no elevator and non-smoking) The place is conveniently situated in the old part of Islands Brygge, a residential waterfront district very close to the city centre. Many of Copenhagen's main sights and attractions within walking distance; for example, it's just a 10-minute walk to Tivoli Gardens, and a fascinating 20-minute walk to the quaint streets of Christianshavn and the 'free city' of Christiania. Other places are easy to get to, as there are frequent bus services, a waterbus, and a Metro station close by (5 minutes to Bella Center). Also, it's only a few minutes to walk to Copenhagen University's Faculty of Humanities, IT and other university departments. The area is a unique blend of old and new architecture and there is a good selection of places to eat and drink, with restaurants, takeaways, cafés, pubs and bakeries to suit every taste and budget, as well as convenience shops and supermarkets. Quite a few artists have studios in the area, and there are several galleries that show the work of both local and international artists. For those who want to cool off on a hot summer's day, there is a free harbour swimming pool, and for those interested in tango dancing, the Tango Urquiza studio is nearby.

The room was very comfortable and I enjoyed the quiet nights and waking up in an atmosphere similar to people who live here in Copenhagen. The bed was very comfortable. It is more convenient than I thought on the first night.

If you're looking for simple accommodation in Copenhagen then I can recommend Egilsgade 41. Situated in the centre of Copenhagen, a lovely 30 minute walk from Central Station & Tivoli. Clean & basic. All you need for a budget week-end.

We only stayed a couple of nights, but they were extremely pleasant and relaxing. The accommodation was in a traditional Copenhagen apatment, it was quiet, and transport to the airport and the city was good. Altogether a pleasant experience.

The place of the B&B is perfect, it's near the tube and every utilities. Everything is very clear, the hostess Carole is kind. It's really better than an hotel room and I recommand at anyone this adress!
4.6 on June 24, 2013
This room is situated at such a great place, where everything is so close. You can walk to the centre, spend nice time by channel which is just behind corner, take a walk in huge park which is 5 minutes on foot, buy something in near supermarket. So all facilities are really great and I felt there almost as a local. Rooms are clean and very cosy and Carole is such a nice, positive and active person so it's definitely worth visiting. Eliška

I can recommend this place. It is very central located and quiet at the same time. The rooms are spacious and tidy and equiped with everything you need. A bakery and a nice place for your having breakfast is close by. I think it is a very good alternative to the expensive hotels in Copenhagen.
3.4 on December 13, 2012
It is indeed a very convenient place to stay in a very expensive city. Nice host, close to the centre beautiful area and very close to two supermarkets open until late!

At first I just made up some random names without even thinking of how these names were created. But now I read this thread, I totally am going to change all my names, they need much more attention. Thanks!
I was actually just naking a doodle for the outline of a continent for a graphuc novel/manga-type story. It ended up looking a lot like the head of a eagle, so the name was obvious. The hook of the beak created a bay and stuff like that. I have to figure out scale, too, but I'll post an image later (I'm on my phone.)
At first I just made up some random names without even thinking of how these names were created. But now I read this thread, I totally am going to change all my names, they need much more attention. Thanks!
Kind of a funny story. When I first started developing my Japanese horror setting for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Kaidan. I was initially developing it for the CWBP (Community World Building Project) here in this forum. I had initially called my island chain, the empire of Asahi - since Asahi is Japanese for 'risng sun'. The problem is, that most people who don't speak Japanese, only know of the word Asahi, as a particular brand of Japanese beer. Not that I was afraid any kind of copyright issue, as Asahi is just a word and not a made-up product name, but I really didn't want to associate my game setting with alcohol...
So I started researching more deeply. Interestingly, I learned there was a Japanese story telling game played by samurai in the 15th century, called Hyakumonogatari Kaidan Kai - which means a collection of 100 ghost stories, with Kaidan meaning "ghost stories". The way the game is played, 100 lit candles are placed in a circle on the floor. All the participants sit inside the circle, while being watched by an audience outside the circle. Each participant tells a short ghost story, odd occurence or creepy tale and at completion wets his fingers and extinguishes a candle. Since there were usually only a half dozen or so participants, each had to tell a couple dozen tales each. Once all the candles are extinguished, it was believed that the story telliing and candle extinguishing was some sort of arcane ritual that summoned a demon to visit the players. The game was a test of courage played among samurai, although being very popular the game spread throughout society and lasted up until the arrival of Americans and the end of Shogunate Japan.
Since my intended setting was both feudal Japan based, and Asian horror, choosing Kaidan as its name seemed appropriate. More than that, however, naming a Japanese flavored story telling game, using the same name as a Japanese story-telling game that is hundreds of years old seemed too good to pass up. As kind of a reincarnation of an ancient Japanese game. Notably a twisted form of reincarnation is one of the built in mechanics of the setting - so Kaidan is almost custom designed to be the perfect solution.
For the rest of my setting, I've tried to both stay true to using the Japanese language, and trying not to duplicate any actual Japanese city or place name - I didn't want to infer any connection between my fiction and anywhere in actual Japan. So all city names, place names, provinces use actual Japanese words. Even the people (NPCs of the setting) use actual Japanese last names, but I have again tried to avoid using the whole names of known Japanese historical figures or modern celebrities. On the other hand of the setting's fictional founding is based on an actual historical event that occured on April 15, 1185 - the final battle of the Genpei War in Japan. The tale of the last battle and the suicide of an entire imperial house as a result of that event was the causing curse that creates Kaidan. While Kaidan is based on Japanese history (at least this particular point), it is a fictional place that otherwise has no direct connection to Japan.

Not to belittle the epic tale of naming set forth before me, but I name all MY people/nations/worlds either ironically or satirically... or both.
In general, when I'm defining a world, I'll work through it all in order of scale. At each scale (starting at global), I'll just brain dump place names. At the global scale, this generally means I'm writing down names of continents, major landforms, or even major political entities. I do this alphabetically. Start with A, write down a random place name, move on to B, etc. I might do this a few times. I end up with some really terrible names but some great ones, too. Over time, you end up with a good list of place names for all kinds of scenarios. If I'm naming something that needs a more intentional-sounding name, such as Port SomethingSomething, then I'll either whip that up on the fly or modify names already on my list.
I personally, use a mix of fantasy and existing. Sometimes I form the fantasy from the existing.
Given that I map mostly for stories and other projects I'm working on, my places have a whole history and what not. So, for example, when I'm working on a story that uses ancient Greece as a base, then some things can be tracked back to that time/world. Also, I think about what I name things. Whether that's a city, a building or an entire world. It needs to have meaning in my opinion.
For my world 'Kentro' (set in a fantasy galaxy), I looked up the word "center" or "middle". This is a world directly from the Greek language, given that I used ancient Greek as a base for this world. Kentro literally means center. I used that word because the inhabitants of that world really think everything revolves around them. They consider themselves to be the center of the galaxy.
Sometimes though, I just look up words with a certain meaning and brainstorm next on a fantasy word.
Currently I'm working on a world with several races, so the names will have different origins. Based on what background I give the creatures. For example, if I base a Dwarf society on old Germanic society, I will dive into that history and get my inspiration for everything related to my Dwarves from that time of our history.
I will never stop using my own imagination, but I will make sure that things don't get mixed up. Even a fantasy word must <i>sound</i> like it comes from the same language as the others. Whether that's a made up language or not, whether it's a fantasy word or not.
As for the order of naming things:
I don't really name things in a specific order, really but I usually start with the inhabitants of the world. Given that they in the end named their world, if you want to have a plausible story. If I use several races, there'll perhaps be several words for the same thing.
After that, I tend to run from big to small and back again. First the most important things/places/objects in the world and then work to the smaller, less important things.
Sorry for the long post, and I hope it's all clear :'D
Names are interesting things. Consider the names you've given to objects and locations in your local life. Things don't get Names. People and living creatures do. In our culture Names are things reserved for souled individuals(what we also call animacy) whereas names are things you call things. This is why you can wiggle your toes in the earth and contemplate the future of Earth. This also helps illustrate that language is cultural.
How do I names things? Well, which culture is naming this object, and how do they classify it? Is it a magic True Name or is it just a label?
With labels I start with the culture that will name the object, then I determine how the object fits into their world philosophy. After that I name the object using phonetics that the culture would likely use. I also try to avoid anything that sounds too cool. (Things like Deathstar, Bloodfeast, and Nemesis are right out, as are most biblical references.)
With True Names I like to go the complete opposite and base it entirely on what sounds cool, though I avoid faux Latin like an accursed copy of Twilight bound in tortured flesh of Justin Bieber. Faux Greek on the other hand....
well, Terra means Earth, just like in english, and I belive both may have a similar origin: for the 1000 years that composed middle age... actually, for 1300 years if you add to it when the roman empire united the majority of europe under a same standart... the main language were latin (just like it's english now, for the whole world) and therefore, most european nations called our planet Terra, like the romans, but translating it for their own languages. so, basically, if the 14 thrhones have a originated from a same event, probably somewhere in the past your world (or the part of it you are focusing on) shared a common language, which probably had a name for it. you may keep the name of the original language, or translate it for the language of the nation you intend on focusing on...
some tips:
I-take a name it have on our world, and write it backwards, see if it looks like a good start (earth->htrae; Terra->arret...)
II-with time, names tend to change, specialy if knolodge isn't passed down by written means, even more if the name was given in another language (htrae->threa; arret->ahet...)
III-if the name had some obvious meaning (earth for example) it tends to stick to it... even if later on it's discovered not be exatly true
(Earth for a planet which is mostly water, River for a nation that survived a millenia on a oasis-like river along a desert, even though the desert may be small when compared to the whole world)
IV-in a last stance, if the majority of the know world share a same religion that gives a special name to the world, even if that religions fades away with time, the name tends to survive (midgard->middle earth->média terra->mediterrâneo->mediterrain)

Nach Waxman's Brisket of Beef Reviews
Epicurious | March 2012
Adapted from The New Basics Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins, Workman, 1989
reviews & comments (38)
I have not made it, but I have a question. How does the recipe as printed make liquid? Sure, some comes from the veggies, but isn't the rest coming out of the meat, and doesn't that lead to dry meat? When I make brisket I use some wine and broth to get lots of juices.
My wife makes the best brisket in the world, and the sole reason for this is this recipe. It's magnificent. I agree with others who've said that you can't put too many onions (or carrots) into this one. As for anyone who finds the meat tough, that's likely due to the meet you bought at the butcher and not the recipe. Once when we made it it did come out tough. But the key is to get the best cut you can find. We buy at the Whole Foods meat section. But any good quality butcher or supermarket will do.
Followed recipe. Blah. Didn't do anything for us. Brisket was still tough too which didn't help matters. I'm beginning to feel not everyone is capable of making a great brisket! I can cook just about anything but I just can't get the brisket thing LOL. I'm done. Moving on.
I have made this recipe a couple of times with lots of compliments by family and friends. Note, that it really takes at least 4 hours to cook at my altitude 7,300 ft. I substituted 1/2 bottle ketchup and an equivalent amount of red wine for the tomato paste per the recipe of a friend's grandmother. Delicious that way, too.
Given the Obama reference, can we assume that he/she who prepares this dish, purchases all ingredients, and places the time & effort to ensure a successful meal, gets scrapings because it's been devoured by those who contributed nothing?
I also have been making this for 20 years. some suggestions.....you can brown the meat outside on a grill which saves the stove and mess in the kitchen. I have also pre-cooked the onions on the grill with a vegetable basket. The onions are key...don't skimp. there is no need to coat with flower but it doesn't hurt...sometimes i use matzo meal for passover use. its an amazing crowd pleaser.
I have been making this recipe for 20 years ! If i skip a year my family goes crazy! I sometimes make 2 so that there is some left over. It is definitely time consuming, but it is worth the effort! I always make it 1-3 days ahead, sometimes i freeze then thaw or refrigerate and just reheat on stove. YUMMY!
If a recipe referenced President Bush's name during his time in office, I guarantee you, all the bushamaniacs would be up in arms!
I agree that political references have no place on this site, so I had to read the reference that all of the reviewers were mentioning to see what the issue was. The author was just trying to get across that the brisket is so good that you should serve at the White House, and should have said that. I took no offense to the comment.

CNN's John King and other top political reporters empty out their notebooks each Sunday on "Inside Politics" to reveal five things that will be in the headlines in the days, weeks and months ahead.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – An exit strategy, proof of the Obama Midterm Drag, and insights into some of the most intriguing faces and races of 2014 and 2016 filled our weekly close-of-show trip around the Inside Politics table.
(CNN) – One day before thousands are expected to gather for the funeral of Michael Brown, political and civil rights leaders don't appear ready to let the moment pass. On the Sunday political talk shows, many called for conversations about the relationship between law enforcement and minority citizens as well as a long, hard look at the tactical gear offered to local police after 9/11.
"There needs to be a frank discussion about how we change the way the African American community is policed," Rep. William Lacy Clay, the Democrat who represents the Ferguson community in Congress, told CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "These people were sworn to serve and protect. And apparently that is not happening here. And so we have to change that dynamic."
Westhampton Beach, New York (CNN) – Hillary Clinton, who has yet to comment about the protests over the death of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, ignored questions about the incident on Sunday.
After signing more than 700 books at Books & Books in Westhampton Beach, Clinton was asked by two reporters for her reaction to the controversy.
(CNN) Washington - On President Barack Obama's last day of a troubled vacation, politicians criticized his leadership and called for action in the growing threat of terrorist group ISIS.
"The President has got to come forward with a cohesive, comprehensive strategy, not only in Iraq, but also in Ukraine, also in other parts of the world. This is an administration - which the kindest word I can use is feckless - where they have not outlined a role that the United States of America has to play, and that's a leadership role," Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said on "Fox News Sunday."
In the wake of the beheading of American journalist James Foley, administration officials made clear that they are shifting from defensive operations against ISIS in Iraq to weighing an attack on ISIS where they are strongest, in Syria. But politicians on both sides of the aisle are impatient for the President to construct a plan and consult with Congress on what many see as an imminent threat from ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State and is called ISIL by some U.S. government officials.
(CNN) – Libya. Egypt. Israel. Syria. Ukraine. Iraq.
Rick Perry ticked the countries off one-by-one, his list of what he terms President Barack Obama's foreign policy failures.
Speaking at a rally for New Hampshire Republican activists, the Texas governor touched on the execution of journalist and Granite State native James Foley at the hands of the Islamic extremist group ISIS.
"Our hearts are heavy today, because of a young man from Rochester. A hero. A man who stood in the gap to reveal the evil that ISIS is all about," said the potential presidential candidate.
(CNN) – Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he's not familiar with the legal language of the indictment handed up against him by a grand jury in Travis County last week.
"I've been indicted by that same body now for, I think, two counts: One of bribery, which I'm not a lawyer so I don't really understand the details here," he said in a lengthy explanation of the case before a New Hampshire audience.
Washington (CNN) - Elizabeth Warren is not Ready for Warren.
In a letter to the Federal Election Commission Friday, Warren fully disavowed herself of Ready for Warren, a super PAC with the explicit goal of encouraging the liberal Massachusetts senator to run for president in 2016.
Washington (CNN) - Democrat Jim Webb needs more than one show if you want him to critique Hillary Clinton's record as secretary of state.
During an appearance on Iowa Public Television's "Iowa Press" show, Webb – a former senator from Virginia who is considered a dark horse to run for president in 2016 – was asked to critique Clinton's record at the State Department.
(CNN) - Returning to New Hampshire for the first time since his failed 2012 presidential campaign, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he has learned "some really, really good humbling and frustrating lessons."
Perhaps the biggest among them, he said, was preparation.
Washington (CNN) – Harry Reid, who faulted his 2010 Republican opponent for making an insensitive remark to Asian-Americans, cracked two Asian-themed jokes at a Las Vegas event Thursday.
"I don't think you're smarter than anybody else, but you've convinced a lot of us you are," the Senate Majority Leader said to laughs from the audience at a Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce event.

2009 Winter Top 20
The current crop of Edmonton Oiler prospects has a quality winger at the top, a plethora of defenders and centermen and just a couple of goaltenders. It lacks skill wingers and (Thank GOD!) undersized forwards. The procurement department that has produced Hemsky, Stoll, Greene, Gagner and Cogliano still has some bullets in the chamber this decade. The kid at the top might be special.
- Magnus Paarjavi-Svensson might be the best left winger drafted by this organization since Ryan Smyth in 1994 and is certainly the third in a trio of quality choices since the turn of the century (Hemsky, Gagner).
- Jordan Eberle is easily the most famous prospect in the system and his claim to fame is the most difficult thing to do in hockey: score goals. He may not be on this list next December.
- Riley Nash has a wide range of skills and could make the big leagues in any number of roles. The safest bet is as a two-way player with enough skill to play in the top 6, a rare item in Oiler nation.
- Chris Vande Velde is a rugged center with some offensive ability and secondary skills. Oiler fans looking for the next good faceoff man should make note of his ability in this area.
- Theo Peckham has a mean streak and a willingness to drop the gloves seldom found in an Oiler prospect who can actually play a position. As with all defenders he's learning the pro game over an extended period but is the most promising blue in the organization.
- Linus Omark had a bunch of small skill forwards ahead of him on the organizational depth chart but is at this point the best option available to the organization (outside the NHL). His arrival could come next fall.
- Jeff Petry came from a long way back to establish himself as a legit option for the NHL. His wide range of skills puts him near the top of Edmonton's list of quality D prospects.
- Taylor Chorney has played in the NHL this season and appears to be on the verge of staying for good. His skating ability and improved decision making may mean he'll have a long career in the show.
- Teemu Hartikainen has established himself as a solid prospect and if he can improve his skating the Oilers will have uncovered another gem in Finland.
- Anton Lander is playing major minutes in the SEL and carving out a reputation for being a quality checking center. The question is offense but he has some ability.
- Johan Motin appears to have arrived in North America with steady feet and quickly became and established hand in Springfield. His minor league education may be shorter than a few of the higher picks.
- Devan Dubnyk has been playing in front of poor teams for most of his career, but this season he's among the AHL's better stoppers. He made his NHL debut earlier in the season and this might be his final season in the minors.
- Philippe Cornet is the second of the "minute men" on the Oilers prospect list. He's an impact player in the Q and might be one of those forwards who slips through the cracks and has a career despite being drafted in the 130′s.
- Ryan Stone is the only prospect on the list Edmonton traded for after he was drafted. Stone's impact on the Oilers has been significant and although he's unlikely to be on this list next year credit is due Steve Tambellini for getting a solid role player via trade.
- Alex Plante shows us just how difficult it is to learn defense at the pro level. Oiler fans knew he was a project and he is playing some tough minutes on the farm. His ETA may lag behind fellow draftees Gagner and Nash but he remains a quality prospect.
- Toni Rajala is the third small winger on this year's list and is the farthest from the show. Still, he's scoring well despite a TC injury and adjusting to North America.
- Cody Wild is in Springfield working his way up the depth chart and supplying the Falcons with a viable powerplay quarterback. His biggest hurdle may be the Oilers organization.
- Colin McDonald improved his foot speed and flourished after Rob Daum asked him to be a checker. The Oilers don't have many players of his type in the organization and with the plethora of injuries at that slot (two-way winger with size who can penalty kill) McDonald might be back in the show soon.
- Olivier Roy is the organization's youngest goalie and has a season and a half in junior to show his stuff. Among the places he can do it might be the World Junior's this Christmastime.
- Vyacheslav Trukhno has a nice range of skills so he makes the end of the list over a few pluggers and teenagers. There is some urgency for him though, as his North American hockey career could be coming to and end if his struggles continue.
- Troy Hesketh almost made the list but I couldn't decide if he was driving the bus or on it playing for a ridiculous Minnetonka club.
- Ryan O'Marra was once described as a player who "could do it all" by Redline report but a series of injuries and development issues slowed his career. He's having a solid year in Springfield and was recalled earlier in the fall by Edmonton to make his NHL debut.
- Milan Kytnar has fallen quite a bit, mostly due to his lack of offense in junior. He's 20 years old and needs to be much better offensively at that level.
- Kyle Bigos is having a solid NCAA debut at Merrimack College and should certainly be considered a legit NHL prospect based on math and reports on his play.
- Geoff Paukovich earns honorable mention for playing a physical style and helping on the PK in Springfield.
- Jeff Deslauriers graduated from the list, so his last ranking came in the summer. He was an Oilers prospect from June 2002 through fall 2009.
- Rob Schremp mercifully retires from the list and is in the NHL with the Islanders.
- Josef Hrabal is off the list but still plays in Europe, I wouldn't write him off as a prospect yet.
- Liam Reddox was on the prospects list last winter but has played enough NHL games to graduate as a prospect.
It's easy to forget just how much turnover there has been in the last few months. Tyler Spurgeon, Mathieu Roy, Tim Sestito, Stephane Goulet and others are no longer in the organization (remember Jonas Almtorp? Fredrik Johansson?) and the turnover is likely to continue this summer.
Why? The number of college kids (Nash, Petry, Vande Velde) and Europeans (Omark, Lander) who'll join Eberle and Cornet at the pro level is going to force prospects off the Springfield roster.
Finally, this is an excellent list. The Oilers graduated Sam Gagner and Andrew Cogliano in the fall of 2007 and there's a chance they'll have two more first round picks join the big club (MPS and Eberle) next fall. I hope you enjoyed reading the list, I enjoyed your input.

- Good lunch choice with easy parkingOrlandoDined on 9/25/2014We enjoyed the ample Cobb salads with excellent selection of traditional Cobb ingredients and fresh, fresh lettuce. Our server was helpful with menu choices and his timing was excellent. Appreciated the ample nearby parking spaces during the busy lunch time here on Menlo Park and Palo Alto streets!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- out2dinnerout2dinnerDined on 9/20/2014A very nice evening at the Menlo Grill. The restaurant is attractive and comfortable with just the right amount of space between tables. The night we were there it was crowded but not too noisy. We requested a quiet table and they were able to accommodate our request. The food was delicious but the service was a bit slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinerOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/14/2014Ordered sunday special, prime rib, all had to be sent back not prepared as ordered, rest of meal was good.Special Features:
- Good but slightly flawed4pickygourmetVIPDined on 9/9/2014We returned here after a long absence to find the food good but certain things lacking. The service was superb which is a vast improvement. Our appetizers and main courses were quite good but the desserts were awful . Our server removed the charge for them. We had the sea bass and the porc chop. The desserts were the beignet (a rock-hard ball of dough deep-fried in oil which tasted of other foods) and ice cream sandwiches made of cookies so hard the ice cream squirted out from between them with any attempt to eat them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Run by kids.....in too many waysJackAreDined on 8/29/2014Shockingly poor service, an ignorant wine sommelier and nearly a ruined bottle of very premium wine we brought - no wonder there is no corkage fee. Sea bass entre was very good, New York steak wasn't a steak at all. The wait service seemed totally confused - maybe they're the incoming class at Stanford. Never even received water! Just when we thought it couldn't be any worse, we had breakfast here as we'll only to wait for half an hour to get water (we asked for it, again....). As we started to leave (no service whatsoever) a waiter appeared. Long story short, food orders mixed up - but somehow they managed to fill our water glasses again. Seemed to be so promising. Just a hotel restaurant, and poor at that - run by kids.
- An elegant oasisOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014As always, good food, good service, quiet elegance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AndThenVIPDined on 8/28/2014We had lunch in the patio and it was lovely. I'm hearing impaired and it was quiet in the patio and I could hear. My husband was happy with his hamburger. I was disappointed in the fish tacos. The fish was a tad dry and the taste too mild. I asked for some sauce and tabasco. It should be served with salsa. The fries were the big disappointment -- they were undercooked and stuck together. We shall go again because of the lovely setting and I'll try the hamburger. Haven't been there for dinner, but breakfast in the dining room is great.Special Features:
- Grest food, quietLikeQuietDined on 8/27/2014We especially liked that we could hear ourselves talk without shouting. The service was great and the food wonderful. New (to us) decor was very pleasant. D&BSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SebastianVIPDined on 8/24/2014I love the outdoor space at Menlo Grill - food is always good. Service was way off this last time....waiter forgot to put the order in for our salads, so our main course arrived first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Splendid Food and ServiceEcoMamaDined on 8/17/2014Food was delicious from appetizer to dessert. Our appetizers were the heirloom tomato salad, fried calamari and flatbread with tomatoes and basil. Entrees were the sea bass, prime rib, pork chops and the burger. Dessert was the cheesecake, soft serve ice cream and beignets. Everything we ate was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was attentitive but did not hover. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Wonderful food, great service and a peaceful place to dine at leisure.Special Features:
- Not worth the moneyDisappointedDined on 8/17/2014I went with my family. Thought the food would be unique and delicious. The coffe tasted like brown water, and the food had no taste. Everything was blan. I should have gone to Anna's coffee shop.
- Great place for business dinnerSparkyVIPDined on 8/12/2014Last night we hosted a business dinner here. Originally, we were going to dine at Il Fornaio, but due to it's noise and $20 corkage fee, we switched at the last minute to the Menlo Grill in the Stanford Park Hotel. It worked out very nice and everyone commented on how good the food and venue was.Special Features:
- Very Disappointedjar321VIPDined on 8/8/2014being inside the Stanford Hotel I expected to have a very pleasant breakfast with my wife for her birthday. FAR FROM IT!!!! We had to hunt down waitress to get my wife's omelet remade because first one was overcooked. My over-easy eggs had yokes broken and way over cooked and the grilled ham, which i had to send waitress back for because she forgot, was burned and could taste flavor of other foods. We needed to get new silverware due to first set not clean. Finding the waitress was a challenge! No one came back to see if we needed or wanted more water. Then I find to they did not even check me in at front counter for Open Table. I had to confirm my reservation. For what I thought would be a quality place I was totally disappointed!
- New Patio dining is a winnerRoccaVIPDined on 8/6/2014The property rennovated the patio dining area, adding fire pits and couchs to lounge and enjoy a libation before/after meal time. It's a darned good use of space - add's a whole new dimension to the venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- relaxed dining with good food.pianonoirVIPDined on 8/5/2014the Menlo Grill seems to have gotten its act back together. after a few recent experiences of bumbling service, the service was attentive and professional . the menu so interesting that we had a difficult time choosing what to have. one of our party had the cauliflower dish which i thought might be a disaster but turned out to be totally delicious. great place when you want good food that is not too fussy AND is quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation! try it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very enjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/1/2014Read the reviews on yelp so decided to give it a try for a group of six. All of us really enjoyed our meals and the service and atmosphere was very enjoyable. Will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedouttolunchVIPDined on 7/28/2014Slow service, salads not properly prepared. Maybe because it was a Monday.
- Favorite Peninsula restaurantteddyqaDined on 7/27/2014The Menlo Grill has the idea blend of casual and elegant-- from the outdoor firepits and indoor fireplace to the menu-- healthy, gourmet comfort food. The miso-glazed sea bass, bistro burger, and pork chops are among my favorites.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LunchronkarrVIPDined on 7/23/2014I would not go again, i would prefer going to a deli. Would not recommend this place to anyone
- Outstanding Brunch (Sunday 11:30AM)frequentDinerVIPDined on 7/20/2014I had the California Omelet which had crab in every bite. The service was pleasantly relaxed, and the view of the courtyard added to our pleasure. We come here often and have never been disappointed.Special Features:

- We and our friends love Menlo GrillmimicruzDined on 7/9/2014Our group was impressed at the excellent service we had, the lovely decor and ambience, as well as the sense of privacy. We were grateful for the quiet noise level where we could hear each other speak.Special Features:
- Great Servicedown4thedayDined on 7/7/2014The service was great. The food was good though lacking in much flavor.Special Features:
- foodieDined on 7/6/2014I am dining here every few weeks and the reason is great food in a wonderful setting.Special Features:
- Will be coming back again!kaaaliiVIPDined on 7/6/2014Had a very enjoyable brunch at the Menlo Grill. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server was attentive and very courteous. They offer nice breakfast options and the homemade donuts were very good. Fresh, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We both had egg dishes (frittata and California omelet) and both dishes were flavorful and fresh.Special Features:
- Menlo Park DelightDianeVIPDined on 7/5/2014Delightful dining -- we ate on the patio and they do provide heaters if needed. There are also beautiful fire pits to gather around. Food was scrumptious and we will definitely return for more. Cocktails and wine were a bit pricey, but we were pleasantly surprised to find they don't charge a corkage fee. The service was quite a bit slow and we were not sure if it was due to having an apparently new waiter or because we were dining outside.Special Features:
- Fabulous Food, Great ServiceDFJ6VIPDined on 7/4/2014We had one of the best meals we've had last recently last Saturday evening. The dining room is comfortable, quiet enough to hear. The servers work hard to please but are not intrusive. The food was outstanding and delicious. One of had the short rib special, the other the sea bass. Flavors were diverse, well seasoned. Highly recommend if you can't get into Flea Street.Special Features:
- DisappointingSVDinerVIPDined on 6/30/2014Not greeted well. They blew the order. They try to make it right by removing my dinner from the check. My wife's flatbread was not up to par. They've done better in the past. I hope they improve since we like the location.
- Disappointing-- lovely settingBirdVIPDined on 6/29/2014We hosted two elderly relatives for Sunday brunch recently in the beautiful courtyard. The food was mediocre-- how average can eggs & toast be...although father enjoyed his salad. We had to search down help for pepper, more coffee, iced tea, request everything except water which was kept filled. each element of what should be routine was not. Staff were pleasant-- perhaps not enough or training issue.Special Features:
- simoneVIPDined on 6/27/2014Lovely to sit outside. I really want this place to succeed and coe often but the flat bread was undercooked, as was the partly raw chicken in Cobb Salad. There was no dressing the one salad. Ingredients were excellent. This sloppiness is running the place. We were comped for those dishes but that is not the point. I hope they will shape up soon.
- Menlo GrillWorksThruLunchDined on 6/24/2014A group of four work related friends were to meet from 4 different locations for lunch. I knew nothing about MG when I made the reservation, but, it seemed to be relatively easy to get to and a quick look at the menu online made me feel that there was something for everyone in our group. As we arrived, one friend said she had been interested in trying and just hadn't been there yet. As we left, we all agreed that it was a place we would come back to for the wonderful setting and service and the tasty food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service Needs to Match AmbienceyumyumDined on 6/20/2014In the middle of the courtyard dinner, one of our guests said,"The service staff needs training." We had to ask for water, then bread, then refills on drinks from the bar, then refills on water (never came), then asked for a waiter to order our dinner, then a heat lamp (asked 3 different people), then steak knives. The broccolini was served late and cold, bread was not refilled (given a small basket for 4 people), and the Gran Marnier on the side with the dessert never arrived. By then we gave up trying to fix the dinner service. Service has always been slow here while sitting in the courtyard, but please buff up the service to approximate the grand ambience. Otherwise, patrons must avoid embarassment by not inviting guests.Special Features:
- Peaceful Outdoor Courtyard DiningCasualDinerDined on 6/20/2014I have been to the Menlo Grill a few times and always enjoy their peaceful setting which, while close to downtown Palo Alto, seems far from the madding crowd. This time I discovered their courtyard, where they serve dinner on summer nights. Their courtyard has trees and a nice amount of space between tables so you can have a private conversation. Wonderful ambiance. Delicious food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The good and the poorOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014The Menlo Grill is a lovely environment inside the Stanford Court Hotel. The food was good but the service was less than par. While there were plenty of servers to be constantly seen roaming the rooms, no one came to ask if we needed refills of coffee or juice. I found it quite odd that while they walked around and were visible, no one noticed our empty cups. The Grill needs a conscientious manager who is detail oriented to train the employees.Special Features:
- foodieDined on 6/14/2014This is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in my area. The food is wonderful and nicely presented. I shall return many times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Courtyard LunchfrequentDinerVIPDined on 6/12/2014My Ruben Sandwich was great. The fries were a bit oily, and they used to be crisp. But dining in the beutiful courtyard made up for the fries and then some.Special Features:
- Everything was deliciousteddyqaDined on 6/10/2014The miso-glazed Chilean seabass is the best fish dish I've had in years. My friends were thrilled with their Bistro Burgers and peerless pork chops. The restaurant was very busy but not too noisy for conversation. Afterwards we enjoyed coffee in the courtyard by the brick firepits. Really nice place to spend an evening.Special Features:

In the article "Solar Hot Water 101" (10/05), the author
states, "We don't use PEX because in California it's illegal to
use it for potable water — plus the high temperatures
found in the closed loop of a glycol system could easily be too
hot for it."
This statement concerns me. If the product's illegal for
potable water, that makes it unusable, in my opinion.
Shawn McFarland, AIA
Author Gary Gerber responds: It is my understanding that
PEX has not yet been made legal in California for potable hot-
or cold-water use. It is legal in many other states, and in my
opinion it should be legal everywhere.
My main caution for using PEX in a solar system is that the
material softens at higher temperatures, so care should be
taken not to exceed the manufacturer's temperature and pressure
limitations. In some solar hot-water systems, temperatures can
exceed 300°F at the collector during stagnation.
I wouldn't worry about using PEX for connecting to the tanks
of thermosiphon systems, but in a system where the PEX could be
directly connected to an empty glazed collector, that
connection could experience extremely high temperatures and
pressures should the collector be left empty in the full sun.
One solution might be to use copper pipe for some distance from
the collector — say, 10 feet — and then
transition to PEX.
I appreciated Gary Gerber's article on solar hot-water
systems. I'd like to offer another viewpoint on one area,
however. He gives an optimum amount of storage in gallons per
square foot of collector, and says that this optimum varies
with location (climate). For example, he states that the
optimum for my part of the country, the Northeast, is 0.75
gallon of storage per square foot of collector. My experience
is that on a clear day a square foot of collector can put 800
or more Btu into the storage tank. This amount of energy would
raise 0.75 gallon of water 128°F! Since the collector
runs more efficiently when the water is at a low temperature,
it is actually best to have more storage. This keeps the
temperature of the fluid returning to the collector lower, and
increases the energy harvested.
I size solar domestic water systems in the range of 1.5 to 2
gallons of storage per square foot of collector. This sizing is
based on clear-day solar gain. In the Sun Belt, there's more

proportion of clear days, not the amount of clear day

I was interested in the article on the retrofit pump for
hot-water recirculation (Kitchen & Bath, 8/05), but have
a question: How can a pump circulate water through a
pressurized system? Does the system account for the street-line
pressure pushing against the pump?
Ken Cronon
Via e-mail
The editors respond: Since both sides of the supply system
— hot and cold — are under street pressure,
the difference between them is effectively zero. Therefore it
doesn't take a large pump to move water from the hot side
through the cold line back to the water heater. The hot water
coming out of the tank is simply replaced by the cold water
coming back, so there is no head of pressure to
In "Rainproofing Stucco Trim" (10/05), the author describes
using the ASTM E1105 standard for testing window trim and
stucco cracks against water penetration. This is a stand-alone
test and has not been adopted by either the stucco or
window-installation industries. Using it to evaluate a trade
that hasn't adopted the standard is irresponsible. The wood
trim in this application was a poor design, whereas the stucco
is performing within industry standards but was tested with an
invalid testing procedure.

"We are so happy with our finished product. The design team was wonderful about tweaking our save the date magnet with each proof, and they were flexible about letting us see different ideas. We received the finished product so quickly. The magnets are light, which is great because the envelopes will only need one regular stamp. We love our save the date and highly recommend this one."
"These are for my daughters wedding, and She i s procrastinator. Could not make a decision on what she wanted. She saw these and made the decision on the spot !"
"I absolutely loved the design of this save the date! My picture turned out amazing with this design. My designer was extremely friendly and helpful! I was very pleased over all!!"
"We ordered these save the dates for our autumn wedding in 2015. When the magnets arrived we were speechless. They are a perfect size- not too big and not too small. The design is even more beautiful in person, and the magnets arrive in a classy black box. We have already gotten tons of compliments- and our order arrived two days before the expected delivery date. We could not be happier with our purchase."
"These magnets are AWESOME, and so adorable!! I could not be happier!!! I custom designed 65 Save the Date Magnets on a SUNDAY, submitted for Designer Review and had the Final Approval a few hours later. ON A SUNDAY!! THAT is GREAT customer service!! They had it printed the very next day and on FedEx by Monday night. I received the package in a box in bubble wrap in cute little black boxes by Wednesday evening with expedited shipping. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!"

This study presents an examination of wealth holding in late nineteenth century Wentworth County using a set of historical micro-data constructed from the probate records of the Wentworth County Surrogate Court, the Census of Canada and municipal tax assessment rolls. The final sample consists of 283 probated decedents - 50 from 1872, 79 from 1882 and 154 from 1892. The information contained in the data set was augmented by historical information drawn from the inspection of local newspapers and period documents. The data set was used to derive information on the size, composition and distribution of wealth for the sample population, a subsection of late nineteenth century Canadian society. Econometric techniques were used to examine whether these probated decedents were characterized by life-cycle or bequest saving behaviour. The study then is both an examination of past wealth holding and an attempt to analyze the motives for saving and wealth holding. Ordinary Least Squares and Tobit were employed in a regression analysis of the determinants of total wealth. Separate equations were estimated for real estate and financial assets. It was found that a decedent's real wealth was positively and significantly related to age, occupational status, and the number of surviving children. Real estate holdings were positively and significantly related to the number of children, but there was no significant relationship between financial asset holding and the number of children. The presence of a hump-shaped wealth-age profile as well as a relationship between wealth holding and children suggest that both life-cycle and bequest motives for saving were present in late nineteenth century Wentworth County. At the same time, the low rate of decumulation after peak wealth, and the breakdown of the wealth-age profile for the separate real estate and financial asset equations both suggest that the bequest motive was more important. It is difficult then, to reconcile the evidence on life-cycle and bequest-saving in Wentworth County with the Life-Cycle Transition hypothesis advanced by Ransom and Sutch. Clearly, the presence of both life-cycle and bequest saving attributes, both in this thesis and in other studies of late twentieth-century saving, provides conflicting evidence that a unique transition was taking place in the late nineteenth century.

I loved taking Biology in high school because I would constantly think to myself, "THAT'S how that works!" For example, I had experienced a "sugar crash" numerous times, but I didn't know until taking Anatomy my senior year the reason behind this: after insulin is released, practically all at once the sugar in your bloodstream is absorbed into your tissues – an instant "crash" in blood glucose (and energy!) level.
So, I'm always on the lookout for little snippets of really interesting knowledge. Sure, I'm learning a ton at school (I've read several books and can name practically every bone, for starters), but what of it is actually fun, useful knowledge that I can relate to right now as a 20-year-old college student (rather than a soon-to-be employee in the real world)? What are the things that cause me to say, "hey, guess what I learned today!"?
So, in honor of midterms, here are a few of the fun things I've learned so far this semester.
- Ever wonder why your face gets so red when working out? The capillaries under your skin dilate so that the heat from your blood can dissipate from your body into the air, thus cooling down your body.
- Slaves built the white house. (This makes the fact that a black man is currently living there seem all the more amazing!)
- Humans are better at recognizing faces of people of their own race
- "Towards" isn't a word. ("Toward", however, is correct)
- Pet hamsters can run up to eight miles every night on a wheel (okay, this one I found on a blog while avoiding doing my homework, but that's crazy!)
- Kids are sensitive to bitter tastes (like broccoli) because this would be advantageous to humans adaptively: bitter things are generally bad for us, so children, who have very low body weights, dislike bitter things because it would only take a small amount of "poison" (which would probably taste bitter) to kill them
- Why is your eye so super sensitive? If the cornea of your eye were to be damaged, you could become blind even if every other part of your eye and brain was working correctly.
- Everyone dreams every night. You have a 50% chance of remembering your dream if you wake up during lighter/non-REM sleep, and an 80% chance of remembering your dream if you wake up during REM sleep – writing down your dreams immediately after waking up will increase your chances of remembering your dream regardless of what state of sleep you were in when you woke up!
And that, my friends, is a rough recap of the first fourth of my freshmen year. If only my tests were on solely this information...

Myths about classical music . Misconceptions about classical music are common in society .
Misconceptions about classical music are common in society , and they have misled many people into thinking that they should not listen to it or attend concerts and opera .
Among these canards are the notion that classical music is "stuffy, boring and elitist ". But if this kind of music is "boring", why do audiences cheer and yell "bravo" so often , anb why is there a passionately enthusiastic audience for it all over the world ?
And the temr "elitist" implies that orchestras and opera companies are trying to exclude anyone who is not white and rich . In reality , they very much want to reach out to people of all ages and ethnicities and to welcome them with open arms .
In opera , many people who know little or nothing about this magnificent centuries old art form have a stereotypical image in their heads of fat singers in ridiculous pseudo Viking costrumes shouting to each other while rich, bored people who are there on;ly fo rsocial reasons and to show off their finery sit bored ot tears in their boxes .
In reality , opera lovers are as passionately devoted to opera as sports fans are to sports .
Another misconception is that classical music cannot be "relevant" because it consists entirely of musty old music from long ago. In fact, it is a continuum of music going back centuries to the present day . How can we debunk myths aout classical music and increase the audience for it in America ?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 10 2012: I think two related issues tend to steer people clear of opera and classical music. Many music lovers strongly favor music with lyrics (rather than instrumental) and of those, many prefer lyrics they can understand (rather than lyrics in Italian or German or another language they do not speak).
It isn't that the music is from long ago, I think, or that old people like it. Most old people don't go to operas either.
When I was young (a long time ago), my elderly neighbors took Opera News. I think there was an opera on the radio every weekend and in advance these neighbors told us all the stories. I used to know all the stories, which had the appeal of myths.
If a person does not know the story or the language, it can be difficult.
Oct 10 2012: I would like to add one more issue: musical education.
Classical and jazz might require a basic understanding of music when it comes to theory and technical prowess. Possession of such elemental knowledge allows people to understand, enjoy and awe the genius of the composer, as well as the musicians performing the piece.
Classical music requires involvement of its audience and this is something that requires time. Sadly, time is a luxurious commodity in the modern age.
My fear is that, as a result, classical music and jazz will die off slowly for "being unfitting" in our times.
Oct 10 2012: Jazz is pretty big among young people in some locations. See this link for an example of what some local jazz enthusiasts are doing to expand access: http://seattlejazzed.org/
Oct 10 2012: I must say I disagree.
Percussion is simply used in a different way in classical music. I am certain that some classical musicians disapprove of the metronomical nature of modern drumming.
In addition, drumming is practically non-existant in some types of jazz (for example jazz manouche), without an effect on popularity.
I agree, though, that percussion has reached its pinnacle in jazz.

Do you think that there is a revelation for everyone, a sort of a guideline for (re)designing our lives?
Sometimes, individuals feel that they need some kind of guidelines for continuing with their lives. Several reasons establish an stagnation-like way of living. Maybe you and I were in this situation in any time. It were hard to find a person who really understands our feelings and thoughts about a certain matter. So, we were forced to take crucial decisions by ourselves. But, in some cases, we realized that decisions taken this way were not the ones we should take. Then, we ask to ourselves: "Could we get some kind of revelation in order to feel we are doing 'the right thing' from now on?" What is the nature of this source of revelation? Can we trust this source of revelation? How can we be sure of the value and scope of revelations given? Are revelations only possible inside a theological framework?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 2 2012: Fortunately, few of the ambiguous decisions we have to make are life or death! I don't say this frivolously. I think it is important.
I find often when we are at a crossroads there are actually several good paths. They may be different, and taking one road may preclude following the other ever, but many times when the decision is difficult it is because either would actually be a course worth trying. Whichever direction one takes at the crossroads, there will be some losses and some gains.
[I have a particular interest (personal and professional) in crossroads. What could be more interesting than what happens at a crossroads?]
Aug 2 2012: Thanks again, Fritzie. One of my favourite fears is what can happen when the road taken leads me to a future event that could be equally attained by some of the rest of roads discarded when I was at the crossroads. Even at a lower cost in pain, time and other resources! During this moment, you realize that maybe the choice taken was not as good as I thought of. So, again, which criteria can show us some guidelines to make "the right thing", not only for today but, more interestingly, for the future? Is it necessary something like a "revelation" for choosing well? For sure, I agree with you that there is no thing more important than what happen at the lifetime's crossroads. Thanks for collaborating with your fine comments.
John AllynAug 2 2012: Each has their own. Mine is the metaphysical domain (religion calls it divinity) from which the physical proceeds. It has two aspects, one is Consciousness {religion call it Spirit} (mind in phusical form) and the other is E-motion {meta physicians call it Will} (feeling in physical from).
Aug 3 2012: Thanks, John, for your theoretical support. I would wish to know, if you accept it, how this revelation at the life's crossroads are seen from the theological (or metaphysical) viewpoint. I mean, could you say something about how divinity, spirit and will play their role in this hard-to-do decision making at crossroads? Thanks again.

The last three years at ARKEN have been an exploration in Utopia. A generous donation from the Nordea-foundation has permitted us to focus on this grand concept and to immerse ourselves in the modes of expression and potential that Utopia offers art – and not least the art institution. We have chosen to gather together the results of these explorations under the heading Utopic Curating. With this concept as a working tool we want to point to a new curatorial tendency and museum practice which, informed by new departures in art itself, turn the focus on what exhibitions can do.
A number of articles offer possible paths for the role of the art institution and its changing function – from a storehouse of knowledge to a social actor and a site of potentiality. Central to the project are ideas of community-building, outreach and new curatorial practices with a focus on dialogue, participation and sensory experience.
Utopic Curating has grown out of ARKEN's research project The Art Museum of the Future, conducted in 2009-2010 with support from the Heritage Agency of Denmark. With this publication we wish to further debate on the role of the museum and the function it can have now and in the future.
The publication has recieved support from the Ministry of Culture's shares of the Pools fund and Lotto Funds.

(Dry Ridge, KY) - Kentucky State Police, Post 6, Dry Ridge, responding to a complaint of a gasoline drive off from the Shell gas station in Butler, KY, attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a 2007 Ford Focus operated by Mary K. Hoerlein-Venneman of Butler at 1504 hours.
Mrs. Hoerlein-Venneman failed to yield to Trooper Scott Lengle and led Trooper Lengle on a low speed pursuit through Pendleton County and into Campbell County.

Campbell County Police deployed vehicle stop sticks which were effective in deflating two tires on the fleeing vehicle. Mrs. Hoerlein-Venneman turned onto KY 10, where she lost control causing a collision with the cruiser operated by Trooper Scott Lengle. Mrs. Hoerlein-Venneman then attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended without further incident.
Mrs. Hoerlein-Venneman was lodged in the Campbell County Jail charged with Wanton Endangerment 1st degree, 9 counts, Fleeing and Evading 1st degree (vehicle), Fleeing and Evading 2nd degree (on foot), Criminal Mischief 3rd degree, 2 counts, Criminal Mischief 1st degree, 1 count, No Operators License, Improper Passing, Failure to or Improper Signal, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident.

Small Bite, Big Taste: And the Winner is....
13 May 13
On the final day of Slow Fish, a panel of judges convened at a waterfront bar at the Porto Antico in Genoa to judge the finalists of the Small Bite, Big Taste recipe competition which called on its network to send in their best anchovy-based recipes and bring back this little fish to our plates, threatened by overfishing in some parts of the world where it is fished as animal feed.
The eclectic and geographically diverse panel comprised Patricia Majluf from Peru; Harald Sakarias Hansen, an activist from Norway; Virginia Paracino, a student from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy; Miguel Vargas, a fisherman and indigenous rights activist from Chile; and Tiberio Scozzafava-Jaeger, an environmental researcher with the University of Berlin. They sampled five dishes, presented by the Slow Food Youth Network, including spinach pasta with tomatoes, anchovies and pine nuts; anchovies with tomato on a chickpea flatbread called cecina; crêpes filled with mushrooms and anchovies and fried onions with sage and anchovies, but declared the winner anchovies with Genoese basil on bread, submitted by Leonardo Mastragostino, the leader of the Mugello and Levante Fiorentino Convivium in Tuscany. "Simple and fantastic," declared the judges, saying that the combination of the fresh pesto and salty anchovies could not be improved on.
Anchovies with Genoese Pesto
Makes 10 "small bites"
2 garlic cloves
50-60 g basil leaves, not washed but cleaned with a cloth
coarse sea salt
1 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsps grated pecorino cheese
5-6 tbsps grated Parmesan cheese
100 ml extra-virgin olive oil
20 anchovy fillets, in oil or salted (if salted, wash under running water)
10 small slices of wholemeal bread
Using a marble mortar and a wooden pestle, grind first the garlic, then the basil, a few grains of salt and the pine nuts. Gradually add the cheeses and olive oil.
Just before serving, arrange 2 anchovy fillets on each slice of bread and cover with pesto.
