Die Jovis, 21 Martii, 1649.
High Court of Justice.
Issue of Money.
Transporting Coins.
Post Office.
THE House this Day resumed the Debate upon the
Amendments to the Act for erecting an High
Court of Justice.
And the several Amendments being put to the Question particularly, with some Amendments at the Table,
Resolved, That William Weston Esquire be one of the
Commissioners in this Act.
Resolved, That Robert Warcupp Esquire be one of the
Commissioners in this Act.
Resolved, That this Clause following be inserted into
this Act; viz. "And be it further Enacted, That every
of the Commissioners before-named, before he shall do
or execute the Office of a Commissioner by virtue of this
present Act, shall take the Oath ensuing; viz. 'You shall
swear, that you shall well and truly, according to the
best of your Skill and Knowledge, execute the several
Powers given unto you by this present Act:' And the
Lords Commissioners for the Great Seal of England, or
any one of them, are hereby authorized to administer the
said Oath accordingly."
Resolved, That Richard Graves Esquire, John Sadler
Esquire, and John Hurst Esquire, be Commissioners in
this Act.
Resolved, That this Bill be ingrossed; and brought in
on Saturday Morning.
Resolved, That the Committee of Goldsmiths Hall be
authorized and required to grant their Warrants to the
Treasurers there, to make Payment of all such Sums of
Money as the Council of State hath charged upon the
Revenue of the Lands settled upon Trustees for the Irish
Affairs, according to the several Contracts and Warrants
made by the said Council, out of the Monies and Revenue that shall come in to Goldsmiths Hall, out of those
Ordered, That Sir James Harrington do, on Saturday
next, report the Bill for preventing the Transportation of
Mr. Scott reports from the Council of State, A Paper
given in to the Council by Mr. Attorney General, concerning the Posts: And that it is the Opinion of this
Council, That, as Affairs now stand, they conceive it
safe and fit, that the Office of Postmaster shall be in the
sole Power and Disposal of the Parliament, in these
Words; viz.
"That, by Direction and Authority of the Parliament, I erected Postages for the Service of the State:"
"That, for defraying the Charges of the several Postmasters, and easing the State of it, I published, that there
should be a weekly Conveyance of Letters into all Parts
of the Nation:"
"That, with the Benefit which came by the Postage of
Letters, I have taken off from the State the Charge of
all the Postmasters of England, except Dover Road,
which is above Seven thousand Pounds by the Year:"
"That the Committee of the Council of State, for
Irish Affairs, have treated with me for taking off the
Charge of the Packet Boats for Ireland; which I have
consented to do; and will cost nigh Six hundred Pounds
a Year more:"
"That the Common Council of London have sent an
Agent to settle Postages, by their Authority, on the
several Roads; and have employed a natural Scott into
the North; who is gone into Scotland, and hath settled
Postmasters (other than those for the State) on all that
"The Pretence of the Common Council is, for another
weekly Conveyance of Letters, for other Uses; and,
though pressed unto it, have refused to come to the Parliament, and to have Direction from them in it."
"That, besides the intrenching upon the Rights of
the Parliament, it will distract that Course which is now
settled, and by which the Charge of all the Postmasters
of England are taken off from the State; and another way
must be thought on for Payment of them, if continued; and it cannot be longer expected to be done
by me."
"This I humbly offer and present, in Discharge of
the Trust lying on me, and the Duty which may be required of me."
Resolved, That the Offices of Postmaster, Inland and
Foreign, are, and ought to be, in the sole Power and
Disposal of the Parliament.
Resolved, That it be referred to the Council of State,
to consider of the State of the Offices of Postmaster,
and of the Interests of those Persons who claim any
therein: And to take into Consideration, how the same
may be settled in the best way for the Advantage and
Safety of the Commonwealth; and report their Opinions
therein to the House: And that they take Order for the
present Management thereof in the mean time.

University of Mary Washington senior Whitney Roberts holds a sign at a unity march held after a racially insensitive poster and comments created a stir on campus.
Evelyn Byrd, a UMW housekeeping supervisor, waves during the unity rally yesterday.
About 100 University of Mary Washington students and employees marched for unity yesterday, after a racially insensitive poster caused an outcry on campus.
Housekeepers, who found the poster displayed in a refrigerator Oct. 15 while cleaning a dorm's lounge, joined the rally and were thanked and cheered by students. They reported the poster to university police, but Acting President Rick Hurley didn't find out about it until last week.
"I think this is the beginning of a conversation we should've had a long time ago," Hurley told the gathering after the march.
The controversy erupted when the school's student newspaper ran a story about the poster on Nov. 1. It pictures a black basketball player with his white coach and reads, "Slavery reinstated: Catch yourself a strong one."
Rob Mariani, a freshman on the fourth floor of Jefferson Hall, displayed the poster outside of his dorm room door but threw it away after being told it was a fire code violation, said fellow freshman Daniel Arias, who lives in the same dorm.
"I know Rob personally, and I know he's not a racist," Arias said, calling it a joke in poor taste. "He didn't mean any of it."
Arias said he doesn't know how the poster ended up inside the Jefferson Hall refrigerator. During the unity march, he wore a white T-shirt stating, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," a quote often attributed to 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire.
Hurley has said one student involved in the incident is facing disciplinary action for disorderly conduct and disrupting community values. He said he could not release the student's name.
However, he did say the university needs to be careful not to violate First Amendment rights. In addition to the poster, housekeepers complained that some areas of the dorm were trashed.
Meanwhile, Arias said Mariani and another student linked to the poster have received threats.
"Even in their classes, they're afraid to give their names," he said. UMW has upped its police presence at the dorm where the poster was found, Hurley said.
Before yesterday's march, a student with a megaphone encouraged passers-by to "show the world that the UMW community does not support intolerance."
"I don't see how you can't march for something like this," said freshman Travis May. "This is important."
Professors have set aside classroom time to discuss the issue.
"Seriously, I'm tired of talking about it in every single class," one student said as she walked by the rally.
The march ended at the steps of George Washington Hall, where a microphone had been set up for people to say what was on their minds.
Phil Arnone, president of the UMW Labor Rights Club, said he hopes the discussion will shed light on bigger issues.
"Most of the lowest-paid workers on campus are women of color," he said. Hurley said he thinks the university now has procedures in place to properly address salaries.
But for now, much of the conversation is centered on the offensive poster.
"When we speak messages of hate and intolerance, we marginalize," said junior Jason Walsh. "And when we marginalize a people, we take away their rights. And when we remain silent, we show our approval."Jeff Branscome: 540/374-5402

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you send away your companions to gather and do their own profession-related missions a lot of the time? I never did, since I was too busy chasing the storyline and I actually liked my companion, but I thought the option to not have companions hanging around you constantly was there.
Mortenebra said...
I also kind of remember something in the dialogue options that could more or less say, "You can leave," or, "I don't want/need you around." But I'm not sure if that's just a clever ploy to add drama or an actual dismissal.
Yes, the crafting portion of SWTOR (at least in the weekend beta I played) was done by sending your companion(s) away to go do stuff. I only had one as I didn't have enough time to level to the point of gaining more, but it was a nice way to do things. You spend some cash and your companion goes off and does things while you run around a city questing/training/etc. It effectively lets you double-up on productivity.
I believe that companions are not available in dungeons and they mostly manage themselves out in the field so it's not too bad. It added a nice flavor to things if nothing else.

but you NEED have Companions all time in lvling my Experience in sith Marauder
i send Companions goin work solo mod take too long kill and increase downtime
solo stuff sith m is not fun at all :( you need Companions that heal or dps to fine.

You know, this would be a great opportunity to ratchet up the difficulty for the single-player experience in WoW.
Take the group quests that have all but been removed from WoW. Group quests often meant you stopped then and there and moved on to the next hub, because getting another player or four was often difficulty/impossible/highly inconvenient. As an alternative, group quests could be tuned so that soloing them would be "doable" by skilled players, and relatively easy with a companion.
The Companion and Crafting systems are the parts I like least about SWToR. I know they are proud of them, and they are obviously supposed to give the game a unique feel. But I have enough to do to keep track of all my toons gear, spec, crafting etc. (and yeah I know each Companion doesn't have their own crafting) I don't want to keep track of each toons whole crew.
There is a HUGE difference in definition between a "pet" in WoW terms and a "companion" in SWTOR. Here are some quick contrasts off the top of my head:
* A pet in WoW is for combat only. A companion in SWTOR can be used in combat but is purely optional. For example, a 4 man flashpoint (dungeon in WoW terms) can be done with 2 players and their companions or 4 players which cancels all companions. Very different combat model completely.
* You pick up a total of 5 companions during the leveling experience in SWTOR all with different backstories. It's very immersive and rich in content and interaction. In WoW a pet is never interactive or has a story.
* As noted by another reply, companions do your crafting and gathering for you. They can also be sent off on other errands. This is a HUGE quality of life aspect where you don't have to take your play time away to do these chores. They even work when you're logged off. WoW has no similar concept
Frankly the companion system of SWTOR is one of the things I would LOVE to see part of WoW. I'm surprised it didn't make the author's original list.

Best part about companions: being able to send them off to sell all of your grey vendor trash. That alone makes them an awesome addition.

May seem like the same old to most viewers but actually there is quite a bit of new footage. There is a hint of foliage from perhaps the jungle levels of the game and some of the epic boss battle with the MAWLR. Narville makes a brief appearance as well.

I had wanted to build a birdhouse for quite a while. And by "build a birdhouse" I really meant decorate one so when Michaels had a sale on their plain wood birdhouses, I picked one up and got started on the decorating part.
My goal was to make the birdhouse coordinate both with my house, which is red, white and blue, and my garden, which has a lot of copper pieces in it. First up was spray painting the house white. I wanted just a light coat to let the wood grain shine through so I used a spray primer. Next was my plan to tie in those copper influences. I found some kitchen backplash tiles at Lowes.
I bought a whole sheet and used only 2 panels so I have plenty leftover for another project up my sleeve. You see those extra inches on the left without any detailing on them? I used them to make a nice front for the birdhouse's roof while I used the actual panels to cover the roof. I just used some scissors to cut and hot glue to adhere it all to the birdhouse.
I decided to paint some red accents on with some basic acrylic paint. I just painted the perch and the base. Now the next most important part was to drill a hole in the top of the birdhouse so I could hang it outdoors. I just drilled a hole directly across the top with a small bit. To help it stay more decorative, I added some grommets to cover the holes but I needed a larger bit to make sure it fit. I just hot glued them in place when I got the hole the right size.
Now I wanted to protect all my hard work so I sprayed on a clear lacquer before putting it outside. I let it dry 24 hours because of the high humidity here. I didn't want any haze in my topcoat. Here's the final look.
Don't you just love how well it matches my new windchime? I also included a secret pop of red right at the entrance. While I don't really expect many birds to make this their home, I do think I'll drill some small holes in the bottom just in case so rain can drain out.
How have your projects been going?Pin It
Milkiest Chocolate Ice Cream
I'm back with another Jeni's ice cream recipe. After making Salty Caramel ice cream, I wanted to try a flavor that was much more simple. A classic chocolate recipe sounded perfect. I decided to try the recipe for The Milkiest Chocolate in the World Ice Cream.
I don't want to keep republishing all of Jeni's recipes since I think her book deserves the credit and it explains a lot of the process in it but I will show you the ingredients and say the process is very similar to that of the first recipe I tried. One note, Jeni's recipe in the book has a small typo so make sure to check her website for updates to the book. In this case you need 1 1/4 cup of cream instead of the 1/4 cup that is printed in the book.
In this recipe you don't use cream cheese, instead you use evaporated milk. Jeni explains that the goal is to keep the chocolate taste more pure which I'd say she accomplished in this recipe. The change in ingredients leaves the ice cream tasting a little sweeter too. My husband described the flavor as chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone. That enhancement made this ice cream taste anything but simple. I wished in a way that the flavor had more distractions because chocolate was the star and a whole bowl might be a tad overwhelming.
The only problem I'd say exists with this recipe is how thick it gets. With cocoa, cornstarch, and chocolate there's a lot of chance for clumps to form in the ice cream. To remedy this I suggest sifting the cocoa before you add it to the pot. Then run the ice cream base through a sieve first as you add it to the chocolate and again as you put it in its chilling bag. You want this ice cream to be as smooth as possible to get the purest taste. Also, Jeni suggests freezing this ice cream for at least 4 hours but I'd recommend going overnight. The ice cream really solidifies and the flavors enhance overnight. I know waiting is hard but trust me, it's worth it.Pin It
Shower Curtain Pillows
I recently bought some resin Adirondack chairs (in blue) for my front porch. My house is white and my front door is red so I wanted to tie the color palette together with some Americana influences. I decided that pillows would be the easiest way to do this. My shopping trip left me disappointed. I could only find really expensive pillows or those with an old fashioned feel so I decided I'd just have to make my own pillow covers. I bought some waterproof outdoor pillows from Michaels with a coupon but when I went to the fabric store I found myself in the same conundrum– everything was too old-fashioned or too expensive.
The solution: a Target shower curtain. The modern rugby stripes matched my color scheme, the size of the fabric meant I'd have fabric leftover for future projects, and the shower curtain would add some waterproofing making the pillows more durable. I also came up with a pillowcase design that resembles a sham. That way you get a seamless look from the front but you can just pop the cover off and throw it in the wash.
This design can be made in under an hour. The main skills you need are measuring skills and the ability to sew in a straight line. You'll sew 4 straight lines per pillow. You'll need a flat surface, yardstick or ruler, a cutting device (rotary or scissors), washable fabric marker, an iron or pins (check under "making the hems" to see which you need), matching thread, and a fully stocked sewing machine.
Cutting the Fabric
First up, you'll need to make the cut. Well, cuts. I have 2-16 inch square pillows so I used a simple bit of math to calculate the size of fabric I needed to cut out.
pillow height + 1 inch = fabric height
pillow width + pillow width + 8 inches = fabric width
If you want to cheat and avoid some grade school math, just get 16 inch pillows like I did. My fabric height was 17 inches (16+1=height) and my fabric length was 40 inches (16+16+8=40). I marked the first 17×40 inch section on the fabric and cut it with a rotary cutter, though scissors will work just fine.
Since I was using striped fabric and I wanted the pillows to match, I cut off some excess fabric before cutting out my second pillowcase section so the stripes would start at the same position for both fabrics.
Making the Hems
You'll want a finished edge on these pillows so step #2 is to hem some edges. If you use a normal fabric you can use your iron to hold your seams but since my polyester wasn't holding an ironed hem, I used pins to hold the edge.
Place your fabric right-side down. You'll first want to fold over both of your short edges 1 inch and iron or pin it in place, then fold that same edge over 1 more inch and iron or pin this edge securely. You'll want to sew each of these hems in place by topstitching through all three layers of fabric. I sewed about 3/4 of an inch from the right (folded) edge. Make sure to repeat this step for all the short edges on your pillows.
Creating the Pillow
Place your fabric right-side up. You should have something resembling a placemat in front of you right about now. You'll want to measure out the halfway point on the long side of your fabric. I started with a 40-inch length of fabric and used up 4 inches making the seams (2 inches per side) so my fabric should be at 36 inches long now. I'll want to make my center mark at 18 inches.
This next part is a little counter-intuitive so make sure to read it twice before attempting. My pillow is 16 inches in length so half of that is 8 inches. Place a ruler next to the edge with the 8 inch mark (or half the pillow length) of the ruler at the center mark on the fabric. Make sure your ruler is facing with 0 on the right end of the ruler for this part. Watch the images for clarification.
You'll want to take the left (short) edge of your fabric and pull it toward the center. Pull the fabric until the folded edge lines up with the 16 inch mark (or your pillow's length) on your ruler.
Now take the right (short) edge of your fabric and pull it toward the center. Pull the fabric until the folded edge lines up with the 0 inch mark on your ruler. Your fabric will overlap near the center.
Now you'll need to pin the bottom raw edges together. Repeat with the top raw edges.
Sew a half inch seam along the bottom edge. Then sew a half inch seam along the top edge. Repeat with your second pillow.
Turn your pillow case inside out, pushing out the corners firmly.
Now you can just slide the pillows into the pillowcases and you are set! The hardest part of this project is just the measuring. With 4 straight lines even a beginner can sew these pillows. See how they add that pop of color my front porch needed.Pin It
Car Headlight Challenge
How many of you drive an older car? I have one really new car and one really old car. How old? I bought it my senior year in high school and my 10 year reunion is coming up soon. It was already used when I bought it and right now it has over 241,000 miles on it. The car is likely to fall apart before it stops running. I've lost a gas cap and a door handle but I still get better gas mileage than most people I know. I also can't handle the idea of saying goodbye to the car that lasted me through my first job, senior prom and the glitter I swear is still in there, those crazy Hello Kitty decorations I put in it, all those trips to and from college, the trips with friends, and the memory of taking my little puppy home in it.
In an effort to make my car last just a little bit longer, I decided to do something about my front headlights. If you've ever driven an old car you know that they can grow hazy thanks to oxidizing. It isn't just a pain; if I can't see the distance that could mean hitting a deer on the rural roads I live on. I saw on Pinterest that you could use toothpaste to clear off that haze but I didn't know how great it would work. I decided to test a different method on each headlight, toothpaste for one and baking soda for the other. For the baking soda, just add enough water to it until it forms a paste. Here's the results:
It might be hard to see how it ended up so I made a detailed comparison for you.
And a quick before and after of each of the lights
While I didn't see any miracles like the original pin showed, I did see an improvement from both methods. It may be a bit hard to see on your screen (click the images to enlarge) but the baking soda paste ended up getting the haze off just a touch better. It also used less product making it the more cost effective solution as well. I think I'll keep applying baking soda to the headlights each time I wash the car until they look like new or until the car gives up and goes to car heaven.Pin It
Pesto Chicken Skewers
In the summer there's nothing better than throwing food on the grill and eating leftovers for days. Just because I like to eat some tasty food doesn't mean I don't love an effortless meal. When I saw the idea of these Pesto Chicken Skewers that La Kocinera shared, I knew I had to try them.
To prep for this recipe I soaked 7 skewers in water so they wouldn't catch fire on the grill. I also pulled out 3 of my frozen pesto cubes to thaw during the day. The only other ingredients you'll need are 2 chicken breasts and a half pint of grape tomatoes. Just cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces and alternate the pieces on the skewer with the tomatoes. Brush on some pesto and grill until the chicken is done. That's it! It's so easy you barely even need a recipe.
I served this recipe with some sirloin skewers and some of my frozen twice-baked potatoes along with a salad. Like I said, my goal is to eat off a meal for days and we had a weekend's worth of food with this meal.
Recipe from La Kocinera
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup prepared pesto
- If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Alternate sliding chicken pieces and grape tomatoes onto your skewers. Brush with pesto.
- Heat your grill to a medium heat and cook about 5 minutes per side until the chicken juices run clear.
June Task List
It's time once again for this month's Get Organized Now checklist. As usual I'm mapping out my favorites on the calendar and then scheduling all my other projects around their list. Up for me this month: finishing my closet, starting on my flower garden, and a lot of summer fun.
I wanted to share this great method of tackling these chores that Emily from Becoming the Wilmi has been doing. Each month she chooses 3 or more tasks from the list and blogs as she tackles them. I love how she uses her blog to keep herself accountable to each task. I had some issues keeping up last month so I just might follow her example.

June's list seems to focus on recycling, repurposing, and reexamining what we own. Last June I did a huge purge of my house so I could probably use a yearly check-in so things don't get out of hand. Here's some of my top items to tackle this month:
- June 2: Donation time! If you're anything like me you have a few piles of goods to be donated. Books, electronics, clothing, household items–they all take up space. Clear some valuable real estate and do a good deed by packing it all up in your car and going on a donation spree. Better yet, see if a charity does pickups in your area.
- June 10: Consolidating isn't just about goods. Try to plan your day by taking as few trips out as possible. You'll be more purposeful in your shopping trips and you'll save gas, both leading to savings in the wallet.
- June 11: Consolidate your cleaning approach. Break down your cleaning routine into 10-minute sequences. This way you won't get overwhelmed with cleaning and you know that whatever you need cleaned it can be done in 10 minutes or less.
- June 18: Eliminate superficial clutter. If you keep ads on the table to read for a week at a time you're just wasting good deals and cluttering up your home. Learn how to decide "trash or keep" with just a glance so you don't waste time making so many little decisions.
- June 23: Today's the day to tackle desk clutter. Throw out old pens, toss those scrap notes that mean nothing and clear your workspace.
- June 30: Clean out your fridge. Now you'll be ready for all your 4th of July foods. Here's some tips for cooking with the odds and ends you find in your fridge.
How do you make time for the little things?Pin It
Corner Flower Bed Plans
My front flower bed wasn't the only eyesore in my front yard. I have a second flower bed that sits on the front corner of my house that is just as bad or worse. My husband and I had pulled out all the eyesore plants but the remaining dirt and weeds became an eyesore themselves.
You can see that we're testing out pavers for yet another retaining wall and we have one bush we plan to save. We'll also be making a second rain barrel base for our other rain barrel. We also would love to see a pathway to walk on, one that would connect our front door to our side door. We're not sure if we're thinking concrete or stepping stones or some other material but we know a path of some kind is in order.
Our plans include designing an inner and an outer corner flower bed. You can see where our tentative dividing retaining wall would fall between the two but that bush would be in the outer ring. Then we'd build a sidewalk that would curve around the house to the side yard. We'll dead end it where we hope to build a patio in phase 2 of this project. Phase 2 will be at some point in the future, probably next summer. Then we'll expand the shade garden to follow the curve of our new path.
You can see it all on my super-awesome guide. The blue area is the front flower bed we just finished. The orange will be the new corner flower beds, the brown will be our path, and the yellow is phase 2 of the project.
I'm still working on the timeline for this project and it'll probably take a bit of a backseat until we get the closet done. It's been bumped up the list though so we'll be working on this before our fireplace. I'll keep you updated on the progress of the garden but for the most recent updates, make sure to follow my facebook page. I usually include progress pictures along the way over there.
BLT Salad
My current job has me working later than my husband. He gets home about an hour before I do and our dinner time has shifted an hour later than it used to be. Our meal planning has changed around. I now prep meals the night before or when I stop in during my lunch break as I often do. We're really utilizing all those freezer meals I've stocked up on and we're taking advantage of the crockpot too. Some nights we just want a quick and filling meal without all the work so that way we can switch to project mode as soon as our plates are clean.
That's where the BLT salad comes in. If you like BLTs then this salad is almost a clone of your favorite sandwich. You can make croutons from old bread ahead of time; just drizzle some olive oil, salt, and pepper over some diced bread and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. They stay crunchy and fresh for days but if you make them fresh then they'll be chewy just like the bread of a BLT. Then you'll toss some bacon, lettuce, and grape tomatoes together with those croutons. Last up is the dressing; the combination of mayonnaise and buttermilk is the perfect touch for the salad. Just toss and serve with some french bread. If you're a little hungrier, serve this salad with some soup or a sandwich, maybe even a BLT if that's not a BLT overload.
- 1/2 baguette, sliced into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 pound romaine, chopped
- 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Start by making sure your bacon is cooked. You can do this on the stovetop or in the oven with the croutons by baking for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss bread with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake until golden, around 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and vinegar.
- In a large bowl, mix together lettuce, tomatoes, and croutons. Toss with dressing, sprinkle with bacon and serve.
May Centerpiece
I realized just today that I haven't shown my May centerpiece and tablescape to you all yet. I went simple this month since our table seems to be taken over by projects these day. April showers bring May flowers so my table is covered in bright flowers.
Check out my napkin rings. Can you guess the secret item I used to make them?
Shower curtain rings! For $1.50 I bought 10 shower curtain rings and used them as the base for these napkin rings. Throw in a $1 set of flowers on sale at Michaels and some floral tape leftover from another project and I have a cheap napkin ring with plenty of leftover supplies for another month.
To make these super easy napkin rings, you'll want to cut off your silk flower's stem and wrap it around the shower curtain ring. Wrap the floral tape around the stem to secure it and continue your way around the entire shower curtain ring. Then just slide your napkin inside your ring and enjoy your work!Pin It
Salty Caramel Ice Cream
A little bit ago I shared my experience trying a pint of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and a review Jeni Britton Bauer's very own cookbook.
This weekend I finally made good on my plans to try my hand at making one of Jeni's ice creams from her cookbook. I decided to try my hand at a recipe that didn't include any hard-t0-find ingredients and would be a flavor both my husband and I would probably enjoy. That's how I ended up with my cookbook turned to the recipe for Salty Caramel Ice Cream. It's Jeni's most popular flavor so why wouldn't I want to try that?
Before you start this recipe, measure out every single ingredient and prep all your equipment. Your ice cream maker should be frozen 24 hours before even starting. I even poured my milk into a measuring cup so I could pour quickly when the moment came. The first half of this recipe goes low and slow and then suddenly you're all in, racing to get everything in the recipe so you can start counting down the half hour it takes to chill it. For all things stovetop, I used a 4-quart pot for the process. I wouldn't risk going any smaller than that with all the boiling this recipe takes.
Now the next part was the scariest for me: I had to make caramel. I don't do well with sugared products because I'm impatient and easily distracted and that usually leads to sugar burning. Jeni has you make the caramel for your recipe by using the dry burn technique (see recipe notes) where you just heat sugar on the stovetop until it starts going through a transformation and then you invite all the other pieces of sugar to the party by melting them down.
Jeni says the look you're going for is an "old penny" but I wasn't sure if she meant 2001 penny that has seen my whole town or a 1953 penny that looks like it's going green so I chose the more appetizing color. It seems to have worked out. Somewhere in the middle of the stirring process you're likely to think you've failed and there's an awful goopy mess but 1 minute later you'll be screaming in glee "I've made caramel!" Embrace that moment because this is when the going gets crazy.
You'll want to add just a bit of your cream + corn syrup to the cream while off the heat. It'll crackle and pop so be careful. Jeni doesn't suggest putting the pot back on till all the cream is added to your caramel but I found my caramel hardening too much so keep a close eye on things and introduce the heat as needed. After you add the milk you're almost in the clear. You will need to keep a watchful eye on it so it doesn't boil over and then add your slurry to thicken, stirring continuously. You can see above the soft golden tone the recipe starts to take on (and the mess this dish leaves behind)
You'll then pour your ice cream through a sieve placed over a bowl with your cream cheese and salt in it. All the little hard pieces of caramel will be left behind and then you stir stir stir! Make sure to add the vanilla in this step. I use my own homemade vanilla but whatever you choose, make sure it isn't imitation.
You'll then want to chill your ice cream base as fast as possible. Pour your mix into a gallon sized Ziploc bag, seal it, and surround it with ice and ice water. Chill in your fridge for half an hour. Note: It's very important not to let water get into your mix at this point. After your half hour is up, pour the mix into your ice cream maker and let it run about half an hour.
Now you have to freeze it for at least 4 hours. Overnight is even better. I know, I'm a cruel and awful person to suggest such a thing. I scooped up a batch after waiting and sat down to test it. It was so smooth, just like the version I bought in the store. You can copy that quality perfectly in your own kitchen. My own version was lighter in color than Jeni's official version so maybe you should aim towards an older penny than I did. I also expected more salt but that's an easy fix. Overall I was thrilled with my results and have to say this is the best (but also the most complicated) homemade ice cream I've made to date. The only real disappointment I had was that it was eaten up so quickly. I guess I'll need to make another batch or try a new flavor. If you're a Jeni's fan, let me know what flavor I should try next.
Source: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home by Jeni Britton Bauer
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch (or just 4 teaspoons- it's the same thing)
- 1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry.
- Whisk the cream cheese and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Mix the cream with the corn syrup in a measuring cup with a spout.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
- Heat the sugar in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat until it is melted and golden amber in color (see note below). Remove from the heat and, stirring constantly, slowly add a bit of the cream and corn syrup mixture to the caramel: It will fizzle, pop, and spurt. Stir until well combined, then add a little more and stir. Keep adding the cream a little at a time until all of it is incorporated.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the milk. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
- Bring back to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. If any caramel flecks remain, pour the mixture through a sieve.
- Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and whisk. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon Ziploc freezer bag and submerge the sealed bag in the ice bath. Let stand, adding more ice as necessary, until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Pour into frozen canister and spin until thick and creamy in ice cream maker.
- Pack the ice cream into a storage container, press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid.
- Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.
From Jeni:
Danger! This is the dry-burn technique. I don't add water to the sugar before putting it on the heat, as some chefs do. Caramelizing sugar dry means it goes faster, but you have to watch it more closely and be ready with your cream. Here is an overview of what you are going to do:
Stand over the pan of sugar with a heatproof spatula ready, but do not touch the sugar until there is a full layer of melted and browning liquid sugar on the bottom with a smaller layer of unmelted white sugar on the top. When the edges of the melted sugar begin to darken, use the spatula to bring them into the center to help melt the unmelted sugar. Continue stirring and pushing the sugar around until it is all melted and evenly amber in color — like an old penny. When little bubbles begin to explode with dark smoke, give the sugar another moment and then remove from the heat. Immediately but slowly pour about 1/4 cup of the cream and corn syrup mixture into the burning-hot sugar. Be careful! It will pop and spit! Stir until it is incorporated, then add a bit more cream and stir, then continue until it is all in.

DJ AM x Nike Dunk In the Works
June 17th, 2009 by Aaron Kr. | 7 comments
Known sneakerhead DJ AM can always be found rocking a fresh pair of kicks, but according to a Twitter message that he posted last night, he is taking his love of sneakers to the next level. If you're reading this right now, you've probably always dreamed of creating your own Nike shoe, and it looks like DJ AM is actually getting to do it. Not a whole lot is known about the collaboration, but if there have already been samples produced, hopefully it won't be long before we get a look at the DJ AM Dunks. Stay tuned for more information as it begins to leak.

asking the guild what they want to do shows a split in leadership to begin with. you will never get everyone to agree, and whatever you pick, some of the ones you didn't side with will now be slighted.
you might as well take a break. you will likely lose your more hardcore raiders, but it sounds like they're in the wrong place already and at least the rest of the guild can relax for a while.
Guilds work in various ways. Some guilds are despotic, some are oligarchic, some are democratic. Just because a guild votes doesn't mean the leadership is split and thus the guild will crash into oblivion, losing all its hardcore members. And even if the leadership is split, that's not a bad thing. Shows that different people have different opinions.
With all the changes, I think most guilds should slow down and prepare for Wrath. Certainly, if you're close to downing your target boss (Illidan, Kil'Jaeden, Attunemen, whoever), push for it. Otherwise, take this opportunity to relax before the big push to 80. Increase gold reserves, stockpile mats, and, most importantly, learn how to play your class again. I'm hoping our guild puts together a few more raids before Wrath so we can test out the new raid dynamics.

I followed this recipe very closely, (I used ground beef, exactly 1.5 lbs.) but I felt in the end it was way too runny from all those canned tomatoes (perhaps different brands have different amounts of liquid). I also felt the meat sauce was not well seasoned enough. It has a lot of potential, it just needs to be amended. The eggplant part was delicious, however. I will be making Moussaka again, but I will definitely be using a different recipe. Be warned that this recipe makes a lot of food! It did not fit in a regular pyrex-type 13x9. I have noticed that the people who rated this recipe the highest made a lot of changes to the original recipe.

I've made this recipe so many times - for family, friends, recovering patients, and everyone raves about it! I usually substitute ground turkey and use lactaid milk for sauce. It's even better the next day!
dawntreader1 Posted: 03/10/10
I joined this website just to comment about this moussaka. It was fantastic! ..and low calorie! Make sure to salt eggplant and drain in colander for at least 15 min before applying olive oil. I used golden raisins, didn't add all the juice from the tomatoes, used fat free milk in the sauce and also added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg to sauce(a must)...SO GOOD..cant believe its low calorie!

Really great recipe. Even my kids ate it without complaining. Definitely drain the diced tomatoes. If I hadn't I think it would have been too runny. I also used ground veal instead of lamb and it came out fine. Really nice presentation. Can not wait to make it when it is cooler outside. Definitely a great comfort food.

Totally delish. Made the following changes: used leftover kabob meat and even some pulled pork that was sitting around- the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, garlic) are so strong any meat will take on these flavors; used three cans of tomatoes (didnt have 4) and drained 2 of them to avoid soupy sauce; doubled the spices for the meat sauce and added a sprinkle of cayenne; added 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the bechamel; sprayed the eggplant w olive oil spray before broiling. Downside to this dish: lots of dirty pots because there are a lot of separate components (make meat sauce, boil potatoes, roast eggplant, make bechamel). But after one bite, trust me, you won't care!

My husband(carnivore) and 2 year old both gobbled it up! I used a lot of the suggestions above, doubling the spices and draining the tomatoes, which helped. I had a little trouble with the bechamel. I make standard white sauce(2T butter, 2T flour, 1c milk) frequently, but always have trouble with eggs curdling if I try to make something like this. Maybe I'm not patient enough. I split the recipe between two 9 inch square casseroles, one for tonight and one to freeze. I'll make my go to white sauce for the top of the freezer version.

Wonder Pulls Out Of Gig For Israeli Forces
Amid continuing tension between Israel and the Palestinians, Stevie Wonder pulls out of a Friends Of Israel performance.
Stevie Wonder 'warming up' supporters of President Obama last month
Stevie Wonder has pulled out of a performance he was due to give in support of Israeli soldiers next week.
The celebrated singer and UN Messenger of Peace had been due to sing at a fundraising gala in Los Angeles on December 6, hosted by the Friends of the Israel Defence Forces (FIDF).
But the singer, 62, withdrew from the event after several groups asked him not to back the cause which supports those serving in Israel's armed forces and families of fallen soldiers.
"Given the current and very delicate situation in the Middle East, and with a heart that has always cried out for world unity, I will not be performing at the FIDF Gala," Wonder said in a statement.
The singer added that as a Messenger of Peace, a title he has held since 2009: "I am respectfully withdrawing my participation from this year's event to avoid the appearance of partiality.
"I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere.
"In consistently keeping with my spirit of giving, I will make a personal contribution to organisations that support Israeli and Palestinian children with disabilities. Hoping for one world, one people, one day, Stevie Wonder."
According to a statement from the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, a coalition that aims to change US policy toward the Palestinian state and Israel and support human rights and equality, Wonder's decision came after a "growing outcry".
The protest is part of a "cultural boycott" led by organisations that oppose Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, the statement said.

Nokia's Q2 2012 financials announced: 4 million Lumias sold, $1.01 billion dollar loss
The past three months haven't been the best for Finland's former world number one. Unfortunately, there's no ray of light to be found in these results, which reveal that the company made an operating loss of $ 1.01 billion dollars for the quarter. The company managed to make €7.5 billion in sales ($ 9.2 billion, down .5 billion since the last quarter), shifting four million Lumia handsets in the process. In fact, with sales of the handset roughly doubling each quarter, the company has some reason to justify its optimism in Windows Phone.
The number of handsets pushed out the door increased, with the company selling 73 million handsets, but the documents reveal that Nokia has failed to crack America, with a paltry 600,000 handsets sold in the States.

Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor
Re:So-to-speak legal (418 comments)
If my neighbor wishes to die but she cannot kill herself, I could kill her provided we both agreed to!! It's our LIBERTARIAN RIGHT! If the cops find her dead, I should NOT be investigated. All I need to do is explain that we both had a VERBAL CONTRACT and that should be enough!
It's nice of you to joke about that. Lots of people have parents living in perpetual pain that are not allowed, by the government, to have a doctor or relative end their suffering. Keep trying to insult libertarians, and if you get what you deserve, you'll spend the last years of your life attached to a machine rolling in your own shit. The government will be on your side, making sure you have no choice in the matter.
