Thanksgiving 2012 - The results are in . . . (aren't they?)
- KaimukiMan Dec 7, 2012 05:36 PM
There was a lot of discussion about what we all wanted to eat, what we refuse to eat, what we love and what we hate about that uniquely North American holiday. So how did it go for your group, or just you personally? This isn't supposed to be a rehash of those comments, but updates and new experiences.
My family had two chickens instead of one turkey. They were excellent. The hostess this year is very health conscious, so there was some tweaking to traditional recipes, a few items were not represented (no green bean casserole, no cranberry sauce of any kind) and there were a few additions like a green salad (imagine that, fresh green salad at Thanksgiving) and new for our Thanksgiving, cornbread. No stuffing this year but there was a wild rice casserole. And they kept me away from the oven this year since last year I inadvertently broiled rather than roasted the turkey (beautiful but inedible.)
And miracle of miracles one relative who used to insist that leftovers were the work of the devil and previously would toss anything not eaten by bedtime on Thursday not only left the leftovers alone, but was seen eating a turkey sandwich on Sunday morning.
What were the triumphs and trials at your meal, any big surprises?
The food was pretty much to spec. My sweetheart's wild rice casserole (!) was a huge hit, and my cranberry sauce was unremarked-upon (except by me, in my head). High points were the hostess's world-class passive-aggressive battle with her adult step-daughter and the sourdough starter I was given by a fellow guest. I have been looking at bread-baking threads with enthusiasm!
Thanksgiving found us invited to two other family's homes. Dinners were good, nothing special, except the Brussels Sprouts at my sister's. They were fantastic.
Because I couldn't cook for T-Day, we had another "Thanksgiving" on Saturday. I wanted to do Thanksgiving on my Weber Ranch kettle grill. Wouldn't you know that while Thanksgiving was beautiful and around 60 degrees, on Saturday there were snowflakes flying. Oh well, I've cooked in worse.
I roasted a 19-lb. turkey, indirect. Rubbed with a compound butter which included fresh sage and thyme from the garden wall (probably the last of it, after that day!) and stuffed only with some aromatics, it definitely came out golden brown and delicious. Around an hour before estimated turkey done-time, on the grill went two pies, pumpkin and apple. A third, Cape Cod October, went into the oven. Some time after that, I added some some whole wheat rolls that had been rising, putting them on the firebrick splits that had been preheating at the rear of the Ranch. Finally, sweet potatoes that had been simmered until mostly done and then cut into wedges were added over direct heat and cooked for just a few minutes per side.
Mrs. Cheez did a good job of replicating my mom's dressing, there was of course mashed potatoes for those that desired, and it seems to me that I am missing something. One thing I am missing is the cranberry-orange relish, another favorite from my mom. I say missing because it remained in the refrigerator, forgotten until dinner was long over. No worries, I enjoyed it later ;-)
family and friends joined us, and I had a great time! That's really what was the best part.
My personal triumph at the family Thanksgiving was that I made the gravy. It was DH's family, and they had a mini freak out when they realized no one had purchased gravy packets. I asked if they had flour, and saved the day. Also, my cranberry salad is total midwestern kid food (it involves marshmallows) but it was devoured.
A week after Thanksgiving, I roasted my own whole turkey for the first time. (Had only done breasts before.) We're still working on finishing it (yes, I froze it). So far we had several meals of just leftovers, creamed turkey on biscuits, turkey "shepherd's pie" and a turkey and rice casserole tonight.
re: Cheez62
My gravy has been suffering lately. Not sure what is wrong but feels like not enough salt or wine.
A successful Thanksgiving! My parents and sister drove 10 hours to Indiana to visit for a few days. Largely traditional meal--turkey (spatchcocked and cooked on a bed of carrots and celery), stuffing, green beans with brown butter, cauliflower gratin, cranberry sauce that I canned 6 months ago from cranberries I bought last season--but the dessert was non-traditional (at least one of the was). I made homemade butter pecan ice cream, which was a huge hit! We ate the apple pie the next day.
It was a small group--just five (the family who visited plus my boyfriend). I don't typically see my family over Thanksgiving, but they came both last year and this year, so I think a new tradition has developed. As my parents get older, it becomes important for me to get a chance to see them (and I'll visit them over Christmas). And my sister (very close in age to me) is my favorite person to cook with, as we both share this as a hobby. A nice highlight was the only Black Friday shopping we did--a case of wine at a local winery!
The only "bad" thing was my forgetting to freeze the ice cream canister early enough, so the ice cream itself, while churning successfully, didn't have enough time to firm up in the freezer. So, we basically ate soft ice cream, but the flavor was fabulous. And no one minded--but we don't get bent out of shape over culinary mistakes--well, my dad sometimes does if what he's cooking doesn't turn out.
Oh, and I successfully nipped any political talk in the bud!
re: Njchicaa
I also added a brined, spatchcocked turkey, cooked in the a.m. so I'd have my oven free for dinner, to the deep fried turkey we make every year. Had to for extra guests so I could continue my tradition of sending every family home with a big bag of next day Thanksgiving food. I subbed the fabulous yukon gold and sweet potato gratin from epicurious.com for husband's family's usual twice baked potatoes, this recipe is always very well loved. Everything else was pretty traditional, all my usuals and their favorite stuffing, very basic.
I never have done a 'traditional' thanksgiving meal and instead have a theme that changes every year. This year was sort of an eclectic seafood theme with crab stuffed lobster as the main course. Surprisingly everyone of the guests (48 total including 6 children) enjoyed the lobster. The most surprising hit for me was an Arugula salad with pomegranate vinaigrette, I thought it might not be liked as much as it was. I was also surprised that almost everyone, including 4 out of the 6 kids enjoyed the caviar tasting. And a call out goes to my friend Tom who brought the most divine saffron scallops that I have ever had and were enjoyed be all.
re: RetiredChef
I'm available next year, and I'm a Very Big Help! I'd love to see recipes for the scallops and arugula salad... I've developed a near obsession with arugula. I love it with blue cheese, in wraps/sandwiches, sometimes I just munch a handful.
My turkey, which was a heritage breed ordered from a local farm, same farm as last year, as an overcooked disaster. Last year it was just a little bigger and I'm not sure if that was why or what, but he was way overcooked and dry and not tasty. The one "new" recipe was food and wine magazine's corn pudding and it was really bland and nobody liked it. I let my husband cook the stuffing this year, which is a fool proof crock pot recipe (or so I thought) and he undercooked it and the veggies were still hard.
The mashed were good, and sweets, and the homemade noodles were the star of the show, but the rest was lacking this year. Still, we had fun and enjoyed it, regardless of the mishaps.
was supposed to host at my home with friends, but ended up going to parents' house... which was fine, if unremarkable, but not what i had intended or wanted... especially because it means having almost no room for experimentation or breaking with tradition.
i do two chickens instead of a turkey, which we all prefer. and as usual, my mother gasped that i hadn't made enough gravy... then ate her words when there was still ample left for my stepdad to enjoy with leftovers. i never cook the two chickens in the same vessel (usually use a deep, slightly more narrow aluminum roasting pan for several reasons), but having just bought a new roasting pan that would accommodate both birds, decided to do it at once. when i stuck my new instant read (i usually judge by checking the juices...) into the birds at a point when i figured they'd be nowhere near done, the thermometer registered way more than done. i was devastated. still, i let them rest, made my gravy, etc. when we cut into them (after a slight reheat on 200), they were absolutely perfect. go figure.
mom made her own stuffing. i made my own gluten-free cauliflower leek stuffing, which was good, but i obviously did something slightly different this year, as i remember enjoying it more last time.
also brought thyme and garlic roasted veggies, which i pretty much demolished on my own.
roasted garlic and caramelized onion mashed potatoes -- half with gouda melted in; half unadulterated
candied yams with maple, cardamom and a dash of adobo
mom omitted the green bean casserole because frankly no one eats it, and it's not worth wasting food on nostalgia
desserts by me -- pumpkin pie (went a little more traditional this year and did a traditional crust), white balsamic custard fruit tart with plum butter glaze; chocolate covered cherry butter bites
uneventful, but as i like to say, i survived. and so did the boy. we left, came home, kicked off our shoes, and said, gee it's nice to be home.
This was my second Thanksgiving with an American family and I have to say that I am somewhat surprised by how little cooking went into the meals I have had away from home. Cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy seem to always miraculously materialize from the contents of cans and canisters. The turkey, at the very least, does go in the oven, but this year's bird came out of its package pre-cooked and apparently dyed to give the appearance of browning so it only required some warming before getting to the table.
Perhaps growing up as a first generation American, we felt a stronger need to cook everything from scratch as a means of taking ownership of our American identity. Or perhaps I just came from a food-loving family.
re: JungMann
There are some families who just don't "know how to cook". For many what you described is what they consider cooking.

Our Game against the devs of Guns of Icarus Online
Played against/with the developers of Guns of Icarus Online today. It was an intense battle that our side came out on top of. We would have totally lost if it wasn't for the rest of our team. Their MUSE clan Spire ship was sniping at us from miles away, so we were almost dead by the time we could even get close. It was, all in all, a good time. They were probably all talking strategy, and we were only focused on ramming them at full speed and then firing all of our guns!
As I sit and wonder how in the world to get a job now that I live in Portland, I wonder why does a career mean a shitty 9-5 job in a place you hate? Many people now feel exactly the same way as I do. I have a 4-year college degree, 5 years of part time job work, yet I still am losing out in jobs that you don't even need a degree for. Back in Iowa, where I am from, it isn't uncommon to walk into a place and ask for an application and that turns into an interview because its a small town feel and things are very personal. Here people would rather get your resume and never see your face until they call you for an interview. Not only that but even for a pizza delivery job they want your resume, like I need a professional resume to sit in my car and drive a pizza to someone. What in the world is wrong with this town if you need a resume to be Phillip Fry from Futurama?
Portland is a great place, and being so it has attracted many college grads and younger people. It is a town full of fairly educated people competing for any job that is available whether you need a degree or not. I would like to just stream my games and get paid for that. I love that, I love playing games and having people watch and ask me questions about it.
My dream would be to open a gaming bar/internet cafe. People could come in get some coffee or alcohol and chill at one of many awesome gaming pcs, or get a couch with a huge TV and play any of the consoles that exist whenever it would get started. Also, the TV's in the bar area wouldn't be playing just sports or regular shows, they would be games being streamed, maybe from Twitch, or from the people playing in the other side of the place. It could be a place to hold tourneys and competitions and people could spectate by the bar and grab a drink. A man can dream, a man can dream.
Playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent with TorpedoTed91. Such good times.
No time to stream games today. I have been away in Pella with my girlyfriend. Though chances to game are never too far. She went to wrok and I sat down to play some Pokemon Black 2. Though it isn't the mort exciting moment as I slrecently restarted and am just spending tome getting all of my dudes up to lvl 20. After my short bout of Pokemon Ill be heading to the movie Lincoln. As a lover of history I am pumped and hope it is true……and exciting. All in all I cannot complain about my Pokemans and one pf our nations best presidents. More streaming to come tomorrow!
Played some Minecraft with TorpedoTed91. He was showing off some of the stuff in his servers. Not everything was built by him, but all impressive. Most of the work was done in Survival Mode, so the minerals were all gathered "legitly" Good times, good times.
Holy shit, I love them so much. In fact they inspire so much brilliance all around them. With I was as interesting as they are. I wonder what would happen if someone with no skills in graphic design, programming, or animation, actually sent in their resume to them. They say they take it, but it would be interesting to hear their response.
My life wouldn't be the same without Psychonauts in it me thinks. Thank you Double Fine

Mike Erskine, senior vice president of the van division for diversified 2,400-power-unit fleet Western Express, headquartered in Nashville, Tenn.
Battling the Big Road With Western Express Driver Derek Dorsey
Todd Dills
I set out Sept. 21 for a round-trip from Nashville to Atlanta with Western Express driver Derek Dorsey. We left Nashville just prior to noon.
An hour and a half later, after a brief stop at a Murfreesboro Pilot to refill the diesel-exhaust-fluid tank in the 2011 Freightliner Cascadia, we started the climb up Monteagle Mountain on I-24. Unsuspecting heavy-haul drivers worked their way to the slow lane, some even to the right apron. Dorsey was well-prepared and moved into the right lane early, knowing it was prudent.
Battling congestion, after all, is not only a productivity issue. His 43,000-lb. load of waste paper from a magazine printer bound first for a Western drop yard in Conley, Ga., then to the WM Recycle America facility in Augusta, Ga., would necessitate a slow run up the mountain. The safe choice, Dorsey said, was to drop his 10-speed transmission to eighth gear and take it easy, even as he gained speed on less significant grades along the climb. The gearing choice allowed him the power flexibility to be able to pass, twice, when he needed to, and avoid creating major congestion problems for drivers behind him.
"When you're going up this hill, there are trucks that can climb the hill, but other trucks will bog down," he said. "It causes congestion as lighter trucks and cars try to get around them in two lanes of traffic."
Dealing with congestion is all about watching your own movements and those of vehicles around you. Patience is often a useful virtue, evident in Dorsey's motto — "I'm too blessed to be stressed." Also a driver-trainer for recruits at Western Express, Dorsey routinely passes the motto along to his students. "Stress leads to carelessness, which leads to accidents, and sometimes that can lead to a fatality," he told me. "I treat everybody on this road, regardless of race, creed or color, just like that's my family member and I want to see them at Christmas … like I love them with all my heart. It takes a lot of care to be out here."
After a brief slowdown at the I-24/U.S. 27 connection in Chattanooga, Tenn., we experienced no significant issues before Atlanta. The Western Express drop yard, shared with several other carriers, is at the south end of the city. To give me an opportunity to see the city's congestion problems, Dorsey chose the eastern portion of the I-285 loop as his primary route.
Approaching the I-285 junction on I-75 before 5 p.m., northbound traffic out of town was crawling. As we merged onto the loop road, we were crawling ourselves. "On the bypass," Dorsey said, "typically in any major metropolitan area, the two right lanes are for trucks." That was the case here, and Dorsey, as he does elsewhere in traffic, chose the left of those two. "The rule of thumb is you always want to have a way out."
Choosing this lane, as four-wheelers darted into and out of the two-tractor-trailer-length space he tried to leave between his front bumper and the vehicle ahead of him, "I can go left or right to avoid a hazardous situation," he said, "particularly with 43,000 in the box, which slows me down on maneuvering the truck even faster. I let them have their way, let them have the road."
We were well ahead of the scheduled 9 p.m. pickup time he had at Custom Building Products just west of Atlanta in Lithia Springs off I-20. After dropping the paper load for another Western driver at the yard in Conley, we made it by 7:30.

Summer is here! Well, maybe not officially, but in Louisville KY, where I grew up, Memorial Day weekend is when schools get out and swimming pools officially open. And those two things spell S-U-M-M-E-R!!!!
What else happens Memorial Day Weekend, the start of Barbecue season!!
While there are so many good things to throw on the grill and chill in the cooler, a Barbecue would be incomplete without some good ol' fashioned Potato Salad.
In honor of the holiday and to share some BBQ love, we wanted to share two of Farm to Fit's Potato Salad recipes – healthy versions for some guilt free indulgence. One is our Classic and the other is our Charred Poblano Potato Salad to spice things up a bit!

Farm To Fit has a new kitchen! Soon after the New Year we packed up a truck and moved our operations to 2608 NE Sandy Blvd. Our brand new space was last seen as a Chiropractic Doctor's office but has now been transformed into a beautiful new commercial kitchen. We are one of three businesses working out of the McKinley Building. Our lovely neighbor's are Church Bar and Soup Cycle.
We couldn't be happier to have our own space that we are proud of. We want to welcome all our clients and friends to come in and say hi, give us some feedback, and watch us grow. (If you have your Food Handler's card, feel free to jump in and chop some veggies or wash a few dishes!) We are around most hours of the day Monday- Friday.
And now we also have a place where you can lessen any guilt you might have and drop off those extra coolers sitting in your closet, basement, or garage. Just cruise on by, drop them off, and then have a drink next door at Church Bar.
So hear ye, hear ye Farm To Fit has some new digs! Come on by!

While Chef Michael Keskin was furiously slicing, chopping, stewing, and roasting in the kitchen last week, we took a few minutes to ask him some questions. While (not so skillfully) dodging the daikon and steering clear of the hot pots, we managed to glean a little more insight into what makes our chef tick. You can also read his bio here.
So to start out, what was your first job in the kitchen?
My first job was a dishwasher when I was 14. It was at the Dulles Marriot in Virginia. My dad was the General Manager. It really was the beginning of my exciting career as a food lover.
Who and what are your biggest influences in food?
My biggest influence is my stomach. I love food. It really makes me happy. Also, seeing my customers eating and having a great time makes me really happy too. Being a Chef is like being a creative entertainer, I love seeing people enjoying themselves.
Who are your food mentors? Or even life mentors?
Chef Bruno, Chef Dylan, Chef Charlie, my dad, my best friends, Iron Chef Chen Kenichi, Bill Hatch, Tim, and many more people have been my mentors. Some of these chefs, I'm sure you don't know, but they taught me valuable life lessons…and also made my life a struggle… but they made me who I am as a chef today. I love them very much.
What is your favorite Vegetable?
Favorite veggie?? All of them. But asparagus is my super favorite.
What is your favorite fruit?
Mango for sure, but a good Georgia peach is hard to beat, too.
What about dessert?
Cinnamon roll is a no brainer.
Is there a particular cuisine that you just LOVE?
BBQ/Cajun creole. It just has so much flavor. Being from Virginia, I love Southern food. Ribs, collards, corn bread, the list goes on and on. I also love how it is a melting pot of so many cultures.
When you are not making or thinking about food (which we know is ALWAYS) where could we find you?
I enjoy being with my lady, of course. Timmmbbberrrs, Blazzzzerrs, yoga, sitting by the river, hiking, camping, and barbequing with my buddies.
What attracted you to Healthy Cooking?
Healthy cooking is important in all of our lives. Balance is everything. I enjoy the challenge as a chef to make and create healthy meals that let the ingredients speak for themselves. It's been great for me; I've been eating so healthy since joining the Farm-to-Fit family.
What do you love most about being Executive Chef at Farm to Fit?
Favorite part of the job is hearing our clients give compliments on the food, of course. I also enjoy creating the menus every week.
How do you define Northwest Cuisine?
I believe Northwest cuisine is food that comes from the farm, season, mountains, rivers, ocean, and all of us chef's using our influence on these ingredients. It's truly a special place to be a Chef.
Why is cooking with local Products important to you?
It's important, because you know it's fresh. And we support our local economy as well. It also creates menus that are seasonal, and changing. People love that here, you can tell because they get so excited to go to farmer's markets!
What can we look forward to on the menu this summer?
Lots of fresh, local, summer veggies, tasty creative salads, cold summer soups, and some tasty, healthy sweet treats.
IF you were not a chef what would you be?
A mail man, professional surfer, yoga instructor, a Timber player, ice cream scooper, a Blazer cheerleader… that's funny.
What are some of your favorite places to eat in Portland?
I love so many places in Portland. Hmm…a few are Ken's Artisan Pizza (Baked Calamari is so yummy) , Yoko's sushi, Podnah's BBQ, and Taqueria Santa Cruz. Too many, and that's not a problem!!!
What Country would you like to visit?
Spain. So many different regions of beautiful food. Olive oil, prosciutto, seafood…. Love it.
A Weather Walked In
by G. Scott Brownposted in Healthy Living, Uncategorized
This amazing show opening is an event not to be missed! Farm to Fit will be providing hors d'oeuvres for the opening Friday April 5th from 6-10.A Weather Walked In is a 28-photo curation of Charlie Haughey's Vietnam photo collection. Experiences of the Vietnam war that he managed to capture (and retain, mostly) on film. Charlie shot nearly 2,000 photos during the Vietnam War and they are now being released for the first time in 45 years. (View images from the collection as they are released on Flickr)From his Biography on the Chieu Hoi Blog: Charlie Haughey (Chieu Hoi to his friends in the Army 25th Infantry Division), a now-retired cabinet maker, was drafted to the US Army in 1967. He served a tour of duty in Vietnam from March 1968 to May of 1969 with the 25th. Charlie, a photographer from a young age, was commissioned by his commanding officer to take photos—not traditional combat photos, but morale-boosting content to uplift spirits of the members of the unit. When he left Vietnam for good, Charlie brought back to the United States almost two thousand negatives that had captured his unique view on the war and life in the army. The negatives lay in boxes until the fall of 2012, when a chance meeting brought them out of dormancy. For 45 years, the photos have waited for their time in the light.Charlie's story and the images he captured are fascinating insights into the Vietnam War and this opening is an event we are proud to be a part of!Check out more information on Charlie here.

We'd like to introduce to you Chef Michael Keskin! He's the newest member of the Farm to Fit Family. Chef Michael has been with us since November and, in our opinion, has knocked some dishes out of the park! We especially love the new additions to our menu like the Chicken Coq au Vin, the Mediterranean Chick Pea Salad, and his twist on the Blackened Catfish (with Spicy Pineapple Salsa ~ yum!).
Here's a little more about him:
Michael was born in Alexandria, Virginia. As the son of a cigarette girl and a server, Michael was destined for a career in hospitality. Only naturally, he started working in a kitchen at the young age of 14 as a dishwasher. It didn't take long before he was inspired to become a Chef. After moving out West, he apprenticed under numerous Chefs in Eugene. Chef Bruno at Chef's Kitchen pushed Michael to have an understanding of flavor profiles. It was at Zenon Café, under Chef Bill Hatch, where Michael truly became passionate about epicurean masterpieces.
From PB&J to pate, Michael truly loves and respects all food. BBQ and Cajun Creole being his favorites, he also has a deep love for French and Italian cuisine. Michael is very excited to take you around the world with his culinary creations!
And we're excited to be along for the ride! Have and idea for a recipe you'd like us to Farm to Fit up? Let us know, Chef Michael is always up for the challenge!

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Some Wisconsin food pantries are getting a hand off from the Green Bay Packers and their fans. The Green Bay Packers joined Associated Bank in distributing 28,000 Campbell's Chunky Soup cans to 29 Wisconsin area food pantries. It's the team's 8th straight "Click for Cans" win.
Fullback Korey Hall joined linebacker Brad Jones and defensive back Brandon Underwood in helping load the cans. Approximately 335,000 people get assistance from the pantries which got the soup.
Mona came up from Madison with 2nd Harvest Food Bank of Southern Wisconsin. Mona says the Packer fans are to thank for giving back in this rough economic time, something she sees a lot of in Madison.

Also recorded on "Through the Round Window" by Dublin banjo player, Eamonn Coyne.
This has been recorded by Martin Hayes on his self-titled album as Bill Malley's Schottische (played after the Golden Castle Hornpipe —-a lovely set). He has a another tune called Joe Bane's coincidentally on the same album, but it's a different tune of course….
March!? :-/
This has more of the feel of a march and seems very familiar. I suspect Scottish roots and that I've seen it in that relationship, as a march and as Scottish, but I haven't yet managed to find it. However, the dances that could be found in association with marches are not far removed from those found mated up with barndances / schottishes… Sometimes the dance could be loosely categorized as a 'barndance' while the actual music being used was a march…
'I suspect Scottish roots'
Yes. Dornoch Links.
Yup! Thanks Prof. :-)

# Added by Mix O'Lydian - 2009
I learned this tune on a Workshop 2 Years ago in the Key of D. The Teacher called it Joe Banis Barndance.

Savory Spinach Pastry, aka Spanakopita (vegan!)
Before the invention of cameras and capital letters, when this blog was just a wee little lass and, like with all youngsters, we had no time or inclination to write a proper post or all the background story, I posted this recipe. If you don't mind, I'd like to make it right. Tell the story. Tweak the recipe. Give you some eye-candy.
The first time I made these was the afternoon of January 1, 2009. My dear friend Liz was visiting from Boston. My then-husband and I were both friends with her from back in our Berklee days. We spent that New Years Eve down on Venice Beach, bundled in sleeping bags on the sand, and sipping what was meant to be lentil soup until the calendar flipped. (I had made the soup that afternoon and didn't realize until about ten sips in that it was split pea. Does this happen to anyone else??). I could have stayed on the beach all night, welcoming in the new year, watching the waves and the sky, but after a few hours shivering in the chill, others in our group voted to head back to warmer land, so we did.
It was a quiet way to close out 2008. Looking back now, it feels like it was another lifetime. Liz has since moved to Spain. She and I now send text messages to each other using some newfangled app called Viber, and I've been putting together a care package to send for her birthday. (Don't tell.) That spring I began my yoga teacher training, delving into deep self-examination and writing in my journal ahellavalot. So strange to remember those days. It feels now like I've been teaching yoga forever, and I look forward to it every time. My then-husband is now my ex. He and I split up by May that same year. He's since left California and moved back to be closer to his family amid familiar mid-Atlantic stomping grounds.
But on New Years Day 2009, the three of us didn't know any of that would be coming around the bend. We were just friends from music school, hanging around Los Angeles, trading stories from school, and enjoying each other's company. That afternoon I put this vegan Spanakopita together — actually, I didn't even know what to call it until later that night — and headed out to Topanga for a New Years Day potluck with some musicians I'd recently met.
It was a lovely way to kick off the new year. We spent the night singing with a roomful of just-barely-met friends and strangers. I remember that evening as the night I first met Jeff, a man who has since become a truly dear friend. He and I sang some harmonies together that evening which have gone down in both our minds as some of the most lovely harmonies we ever heard. During the teary last months of my failing marriage, Jeff was a lifeline. He was supportive and encouraging, and I can't count how many lunch hours I spent talking to either him or to Liz, trying to sort through the confusion.
Now, all these years later, and along with my Bad*ss Bassman, Jeff and I are in two bands together, still singing and playing music together. Two years ago he opened up his house for a big birthday party I threw for Bassman. And a few weeks ago, after he mentioned that he was getting a new couch, we moved his old one into our living room to replace our old one. That first night of 2009 we met over music, but we became true friends over this spanakopita.
It's hard to believe been only just over four-and-a-half years since we met. Even though I know he'll never cook anything from scratch, Jeff, this recipe is dedicated to you.
SAVORY SPINACH PIE, a/k/a Spanakopita (vegan!)
(makes 6 large triangles)
1 package phyllo dough, defrosted (I get Fillo Factory whole wheat from Whole Foods)
2 cups mushrooms (I like baby shiitake)
1 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 pound of spinach (or a mix of spinach, arugula, or other greens)
1 17-oz package of tofu, drained (firm or extra firm)
1 8-oz container vegan cream cheese (I like Follow Your Heart)
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for sauteeing
2 Tablespoons fennel, poppy, sesame seed mix
Drain tofu and set aside. Cover a sheet tray with parchment and set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 350.
If the mushrooms are large, roughly chop to dime-size (I leave baby shiitake whole). Saute onions and mushrooms in two tablespoons of oil in a medium pan till soft. Add the garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
In a food processor, blend the tofu till it is uniformly soft. Transfer tofu to a large mixing bowl. Add onion mixture, cream cheese, thyme, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.
Now it's time to make the phyllo triangles. This stuff dries out quickly, so while you're working with one sheet, cover the others with a damp towel.
Each triangle uses three sheets. Working on a flat surface, lightly brush one sheet with olive oil. Lay the next sheet over it and brush with oil. Lay the third on top. Scoop out one-sixth of the filling. Mound it into the phyllo towards one corner. Fold the dough over length-wise so the filling is covered. Here's a handy video that I found, (although here you will just *fold* the dough in half rather than cut as she does in the video). Place the triangle on the sheet tray.
Repeat until all the phyllo and all the filling is used up.
Brush the tops of the triangles with olive oil. Sprinkle seeds on top.
Bake at 350 until triangles are puffed and starting to brown, approximately 30 minutes.
xoxo, A

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"I have 4 GB" is kinda a flawed argument, just because your pickup can haul 2 tons does that mean you should ALWAYS haul around 2 tons of crap? Besides that, it's not really the static memory use that matters (for example, the guides TG loads up and then just keeps around), but rather memory churn (use a variable once, toss it out) that is killer. It's not hard to make an addon that *appears* to have a small memory footprint, but in fact eats through memory at an alarming rate. In fact many new addon devs make common mistakes that cause this.
Now, I've not dug deep into QH, but the fact it gives you a setting for how much "CPU workload" it uses concerns me on many levels. It seems to me that when you need a setting to throttle back your addon, it's became WAY too big... and probably in need of a redesign so that it doesn't use that much power in the firt place.
Oh and re: TomTom vs. Carto... TomTom is the only one officially supported. Carto support may break (has at least twice now), and it won't get fixed until I'm given a patch from a user for it. So, Carto's kinda "use at your own risk"

Going through a bone marrow transplant involves getting a lot of blood tests and receiving a lot of intravenous injections, infusions and transfusions. To avoid the need for repeated needle pokes, a central line is placed either at the start of the chemotherapy or just before the stem cell collection. There are several different types of lines that can be used, but they can be split into two broad groups:
Lines may have one, two or three tubular cavities or lumens. We usually recommend a two-lumen "RAAF" catheter for patients undergoing an autologous transplant. This is similar to a "Hickman line," but it is slightly thicker and stronger. Central lines may be left in place for a number of years, although they are usually removed sooner. We normally remove a line as soon as patients return home after a transplant when we have finished using it.

Research Profile
Dr Neil Stephens
- Dr Neil Stephens is based at Cesagen Cardiff where he has completed two ESRC funded projects exploring the practice and regulation of human embryonic stem cell banking: 'Curating and Husbandry In the UK Stem Cell Bank' and the follow-up project 'The UK Stem Cell Bank: An Institutional Ecology'.
- He is currently involved in three main Cesagen research projects:
- Cancer Biobanking in Practice: This project collects qualitative data on the establishment of cancer biobanks that hold patient's tissue for distribution to cancer researchers. The project explores the role of agencies looking to produce best practice guidance and standardised - potentially universal - operating procedures for the technical, ethical and legal aspects of the work.
- Seeing Stem Cells: Part of a £1.5m EPSRC grant with colleagues in the Cardiff Institute of Tissue Engineering and Repair (CITER) and Swansea University, this project examines the formation of interdisciplinary understanding and shared goals between stem cell scientists, engineers, and a range of other scientists who are jointly producing non-invasive imaging technologies for stem cells.
- In Vitro Meat in Context: This research documents the ways in which social, ethical and regulatory issues around stem cell science and tissue engineering are reframed when the targeted application of the research is moved from regenerative medicine to the production of food. By conducting interviews with scientists, entrepreneurs and advocates leading the field internationally the project analyses the challenges and opportunities In Vitro Meat technology poses for scientists, regulators and potential consumers. Supported by a Wellcome Trust grant.
- Before joining Cesagen Dr Stephens completed his PhD at the Centre for the Study of Knowledge, Expertise and Science (KES) with Prof. Harry Collins and Dr Rob Evans at Cardiff University School of Social Sciences. His thesis, 'Why Macroeconomic Orthodoxy Changes So Quickly: The Sociology of Scientific Knowledge and the Phillips Curve', explored the social construction of macroeconomic knowledge and the relationship to wider political influence.
- Dr Stephens also works with Dr Sara Delamont of Cardiff University School of Social Sciences on a project exploring the teaching of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art/dance/game, in the UK.

gardens in the air, across buildings
Why are buildings solitary and disconnected? Have you ever thought that it is strange how buildings are vertical structures, accessible only through the bottom floor?
I propose that buildings be built that are interconnected: little bridges to connect them at the third, or sixth floor, and a garden that runs across them. Every building's third floor could be a garden (open space), with trees, flowers, playing grounds, little cafes... and with all the gardens connected to each other visa little bridges. This could work best in a crowded, high density area.
Zoning could mandate that each new building reserve the third floor as a garden, with the style of the garden to be determined the by building's owners.
This way you create a green space in the middle of a busy urban area, where space is often at a premium.

Bob Shingles 10+Aug 7 2011: Traditionally, buildings are private undertakings built at various times in various designs to accommodate differing purposes. Connecting them would not make sense.
Just like there are government regulations requiring buildings to have certain safety systems, I suppose a local government could impose a strict building design that would force all buildings to conform to this idea.
I have always liked the idea of turning a city into one massive building for various reasons but I imagine it will increase costs significantly and may even drive businesses and people away initially.
C. V.Aug 7 2011: Local governments could require this to be done by every building... as for costs, you could have tax rebates and other incentives. Additionally, having a great park area would increase the real estate value of the building; you could also have a few business on that level (outdoor cafes, etc.). You are right, the main problem is that most buildings are privately and separately owned. In that sense, the problem is how to create a public good by starting with private actors. I think it can be done with a combination of incentives, regulations, and promised payoffs.

Michael Lohan: Released From Jail, Arrested Again For Contacting Ex, Pulled Out of Tree By Copsby Free Britney at . Comments
Michael Lohan was released from jail on $5,000 bond yesterday following his Tuesday a.m. arrest for domestic violence against on/off girlfriend Kate Major.
Lindsay's father was then arrested AGAIN for allegedly contacting Major in violation of a restraining order, then got stuck in a tree trying to evade police.
Seriously, this actually happened. Talk about going out on a limb.
Tampa police responded to a call early this morning from Kate, who claimed MiLo had been trying to contact her by phone and wouldn't leave her alone.
This after he was torn a new one by a judge for violating the restraining order the same day, and told if he even dreamed about Major, he'd go to jail.
Officers interviewed Kate, who called 911 on him earlier this week, at her apartment after she made the call. While police were there, he called. Again.
Officers believed that given Michael's repeated disregard for the no contact order, he was considered a "threat," so they went to his hotel to arrest him.
That's when he tried to escape by hopping a third story balcony ... and landed in a tree. Officers then helped him down and hauled him back to jail.
Michael Lohan was charged with violating a condition of his pretrial release (contacting Kate) and resisting arrest without violence. He is in custody.
No mention of alcohol or drugs during this latest caper, sound familiar? He had to be high on something, absolutely incapable of making a single good decision as he was setting himself up to once again, drink/use and 'get Kate M', another addict.
The role model Lindsay had never existed, but he can't get a job, has no one to turn to just like her and both sadly may wind up 'the late Michael and Lindsay Lohans'before too long. All addicts deserve 'help', whether it 'takes or not' is up to them. They aren't responsible for being 'addicts' but are responsible for their own recovery and life isn't giving them either one, enough YET. The 'yets' are out there, just waiting. Michael, am sure you read all you can about 'you' and hope you read this. Keep trying before it's too late. We won't much miss you but some in your family will, like your other daughter? MW
My God, when does it stop. It's not them it's the media who gives
them air time. It's pathetic, when there are far more news worthy
stories out there to be told, kids to be found and so on. Let these
idiots go up in flames and be done with them, The Anthony's ,The
Kardashian's, Charlie Sheen, the whole lot. White noise is what it
is, period!!!!
Father and daughter both need to be thrown in jail for a while. Anyone else would have been thrown in the clink a long time ago!
I agree, Jaybird ! SHE'S A SKANK-HOE !!!!!
Now you know the meaning of "THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE" !!!!!!!!!!!!! LITERALLY! This is one of the most DYSFUNCTIONAL Families on the FREAKIN' PLANET !!! Just look @ Lindsay... How in the F#*K DO YOU KEEP VIOLATING PROBATION, & DON'T GO DIRECTLY TO FREAKIN' JAIL ?????????? EITHER SHE'S SCREWIN' SOME OFFICIAL, OF PAYING THEM OFF !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DECIDE.....
Michael Lohan CLIMBING A TREE in attempting to avoid the police????? Mike, dude, what are you...10 years old????? I think the better term here is OVERGROWN MORON!!!!! A while back, watching MiLo on that Celebrity Rehab show ended up being POINTLESS!!!!! MiLo being on there served NO PURPOSE (or whatever) AT ALL!!!!! Dr. Drew was an IDIOT for wasting his own time and energy on that moronic and messed-up MiLo!!!!! I lost A LOT of respect for Dr. Drew after that. FYI...The other one on VH1 (Sober House) is WAY WORSE!!!!! The housemother on there (Maria or whatever the fuck her name is) is nothing but a blubbering, nosy, and WHINY-ASS SKANK!!!!! Since Celebrity Rehab horribly failed at helping MiLo, here's a (hopefully) clearer and better approach...PAGING A&E's INTERVENTION!!!!! And the DOWNWARD SPIRAL of The Lohan Family Continues..........
He and Lindsey are both hopeless. They think they are above the law. They are just NOT going to follow orders. They are sickening thugs.
He is and his daughter both live in a tree. Addicts, hopeless and loving the attention. If the cameras would stop following these idiots around, we would not waste our time hearing about them. WHO CARES!!!!!!!

Discord: Complete Existence Part 3The white space started to shake."Who dares to interrupt our story?" the Alicorn of Darkness shouted.Small black hairline cracks started to form where the small world of Chaos had once stood. Within seconds the ruptures became bigger and bigger. Now some cracks had reached the four beings. Celestia felt something big approaching them. Even the air seemed to burst with strange magic."Run."Nobody objected to this idea and all four spread their wings and flew as fast as possible. None of them wanted to use a teleportation while everything around them seemed suddenly so instable.Something crashed into the cracks from the other side and they spread even further. Finally the middle part began to break completely apart and revealed a huge dark opening. It looked like the maw of a beast.By now the four felt that they had gained enough distance from this hole and paused to take a look just as something broke through.The long construction that started to grow there did look somewhat like
Discord: Complete Existence Part 4As Discord turned around he saw that two of the Elements had taken the attacks. Loyalty had shielded Luna while Laughter had guarded Celestia. As the sharp spikes were struck in them, they slowly began to turn to stone. For a moment Discord could see images of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie looking determined.Suddenly the two tentacles moved backwards and ripped out the two Elements.The Draconequus could only stare in shock as the Nightmare had managed to interrupt the spell in the critical moment. The other four Elements continued to circle around the Alicorns but their movements were hectic and panicky.His daughter would not be able to hold Phobia in place until the spell is charged up a second time.The energy of Loyalty and Laughter slowly began to vanish, as the two appendages stuck in them started to turn completely to stone.Discord made a decision."Fluttercruel, I promise I will be there for you but right now my sisters need my help. It will only take a minute."He could feel
Discord: Complete Existence Part 2Discord could see something. A disturbingly familiar castle could be seen under him as the checker pattern around it covered the entire world around it. It was like looking down on a distorted image while everything around him was completely dark."You could have had everything. Why did you reject your gift of Disharmony?"The Draconequus recognised the voice instantly, it was his own. Quickly turning around he saw a bigger version of the mirror, he had created, floating before him.His reflection smiled back coldly."I can feel that I am fading away and now she shows me you of all things? Now that is definitely not the way I wanted to go." Discord said dryly to the mirror.The mind of the incarnation of Chaos was racing how he could get out of this. He knew this was likely just a smokescreen to distract him while he was devoured. The Nightmare had absorbed the mirror, so she could have access to the knowledge of this world. Or his own connection to Truth was going berserk and this was

Fluttercruel: Chaos Theory Part 2Then she started to notice several rings floating in the air next to the cotton candy clouds. They looked like they just waited for her to fly through them. Grinning sheepishly she spread her wings and rose into the air. This time no random obstacle would be in her way. As she flew through the first ring she concentrated and created more rings ahead for herself. Fluttercruel felt the wind (Discord had apparently added) on her face.At first the rings just formed a straight line but soon she shaped more and more complex patterns. She got better and better and didn't realize or care how much time had passed. Suddenly she had an idea. Fluttercruel landed next to Discord who drew something that resembled a construction plan on a paper."Why don't you try it too, dad?""Hah! No problem."Slowly he flapped his wings as his body began to rise into the air and flew up to her rings. Fluttercruel followed him instantly."You are not really flying, are you?""Well
I am in the air. That is w
Discord: Complete Existence Part 1Discord: Complete Existence A tribute to: My Little Pony Friendship is MagicHealing Pony POV Series by alexwarlorn"Impossible? I never thought I would hear this word from you."Fluttercruel stared at the being that had followed her into the endless white space: A bare horse skull with a black horn was connected over the visible spine to the black and strangely familiar body. Out of the main body grew four twisted legs that resembled spider legs instead of horse legs and they ended in sharp spikes. Huge skeletal wings were placed on her back.But her father Discord stood by the side of the young chimera. The heartbeat of the young chimera was still racing from the ordeal in her mother's dream. She just knew that she would be dead if the Draconequus hadn't interfered. This was the second time he had saved her life."Well, beings can change over time and I think you changed as well. Did you do something with your hair?"The younger incarnation was shocked with

The entire room was decorated to replicate the night sky: Constellations and nebulas were painted onto the walls, the bed sheet was a perfectly accurate star chart, the furniture was enchanted to appear like dark clouds and the marble floor replicated Equstria as seen from the sky.One of the more prominent features of the room was an easel with a painting of a new and unfinished constellation. Even Luna wasn't quite sure, what it should be in the end. But then the ponies usually saw something completely different in her creations, so the ruler of the Night didn't worry about that at the moment.More important to her were several dictionaries, history books and countless books about making good fi

It had been his prison when he was defeated by Luna and Celestia and he was forced back into it after his last defeat by the six Elements of Harmony. His name was Discord, Spirit of Chaos. But something had changed. He wasn't alone anymore.After the first good deed since eons the Draconequus finally found some company in the form of his daughter, Fluttercruel.The former pegasus curiously examined her changed now chimera-like body. She had perfect control over her eagle claw and easily picked up the empty glass before her with it. It was a lot more precise than the hoof she had before and it felt like she always had had this limb. The lizard leg that replaced one of her hind legs didn't seem to have any noticeable advantages or downsides. Finally she carefully flapped h
Luna and Celestia: Unwanted Half Part 2 CelestiaIt was impossibly big. There was no end to it. Celestia had no idea what she was looking at. The last thing she remembered was carefully opening the metallic sphere, after her sister and every guard had left.Now she saw an endless flow of images.For a second several names echoed past her: Pool of Truths, Mirror of Souls, Gate to Self, Abyss of Fears, Existence's Shadow and simply Truth.___________________________________________________________________________Why should she just trap his soul in the sun?Her light shined brighter than before.Eventually he would escape that prison as well. There was only one way to make sure that he would never harm another pony again.The light was so bright that it was harmful to look at it. Nopony besides her sister was there to help her.Celestia crushed Discord's very soul against the desperate pleas of her sister. Immediately afterwards the Sun Goddess began to change as her light engulfed the ruler of the Day completely."I MUST SAVE THIS WO
Pony POV Series Party At Canterlot CastleTwilight Sparkle sat in the Canterlot west castle courtyard. She really wished she had a nice book with her. She was pretty sure she would have been able to read it in spite of all the partying ponies, music, and noise-makers around.''Little get together,' yeah right.' Twilight thought to herself sarcastically.Who was here again? Too bad ponies weren't as easy to memorize as indexes.There was Spike with Moondancer, er, dancing. Right, Spike's crush before... somepony. She had always just smiled and nodded when Spike acted nice around her while politely pushing him back. They looked the odd dance couple with a towering dragon as she she held onto his little pinky. Pinkie? The party had some pink, but not a whole lot.Moondancer herself had a white coat, a red mane, and a moon cutie mark surrounded by stars. The teddy bear Spike had given her as her birthday present lay on a table nearby with gifts from others. It actually made Twilight a little self conscious that she hadn't brought

so long I can remember this world, this iteration, when it was young. You think it is pleasant to be immortal? It is far from it, but it is a cross I and my sister bear. I have made mistakes: not realizing my sister was succumbing to darkness until it was too late was one that I shall never stop regretting, even now that she is with me once again, and that is only one. Only My Parents are perfect after all
But one thing I do not regret is taking on my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. She is one of the few beings in this world besides my sister and niece who I can be certain truly care about me. Did I know she was an Element Of Harmony before I accepted her? I may have had a hunch, but I didn't take a personal student simply to find the Element of Magic. After 1000 year

Ringwing Sisters, I believe, or that might have been the name of an acrobatic troupe that's a main act, I'm not sure how that works.A circus…with all sorts of dirty…filthy animals…with dirt where the floor should be, possibly straw…And who can be sure the ponies wash their hooves before making all that carnival food?I doubt there are many things further from being lady-like than a carnival. I prefer the theatre, things like this were always mother and father's thing…and they're still on vacation…But that's why I'm standing here, looking at the poster in my baby sister's mouth, isn't it?

How ya been? Is that broken nose healing alright? Oh, how have I been? I've been adjusting. I can't say it's not less stressy that I don't have to pretend I'm still crazy, but I feel, I dunno, a bit naked not having to follow the script.It's nice to have AJ knowing about these things, it was always so lonely to be the only one who knew about this stuff. And I'm really extra happy I was able to pull off Cranky's welcome to Ponyville a lot better than in the heart world. Oh I know the Shadows-Who-Make have gone on the record as saying that I'm not really a fourth wall breaker, but look at it this way; which way is more constructive for the story?

When it came to important diplomatic visits, she typically had one head speak on behalf of all five for clarity sake, but she was more comfortable letting each head speak for itself, and our relationship was a tad less formal. I'm not sure if she uses 'we' to refer to her five heads or as the Royal We."I came to you hoping to ask you a question, not as rulers of species, but as allies and as a fellow goddesses," I beseeched. Yes, Queen Tiamat and I were rulers of two peoples, but that did not mean we could not have a personal conversation with each other.

Seeds of KnowledgeOh, hello!Sorry, I was just tidying up since, well, this is my first real interview with you three. I know Applejack said you would probably be coming over, and I've been tidying up since then, but... well, I have a lot of books to keep organized, and I don't have an assistant like AJ does to help. I mean, Spike comes over now and again, but I can't really rely on him to be there if I need something done quickly. And that's not even counting of the fact that I would have to teach him my methods of organization; I mean, Applejack is pretty good at precision, but you'd think she'd be organized as well and-Oh! I'm sorry, I'm rambling. I do that sometimes; AJ's pointed it out to me more than once.Anyway, from what I've read, I'm supposed to state my name for the purpose of this interview. *Ahem* My name is Twilight Sparkle, and thank you for this chance to be interviewed.---------------------Dragon-of-Twilght presents:

I had learned how certain bloodlines should be brought together and adding an Alicorn into my bloodline would surely make Lady Pure
I mean mother proud. Instead my cousin slapped me.I fell to the ground as Cadence stood there, looking down on me."Are you crazy? You're stuck-up, cowardly, rude and only think about yourself. I wouldn't marry you in a thousand years!""How can you dare
