I should know better than to see what Fox online readers think, but I am a glutton for pain, so I looked at the results. 45% of their poll audience thinks the HPV vaccine will encourage kids to be sexually active earlier, which is the same rhetoric folks used my entire young life to discourage safe sex education in schools.
If you think the vaccine causes retardation and encourages your kids to have sex early - fine, don't get it. But I will be considering these things when I make that decision for my children:
HPV can lead to cancer.
HPV is extremely common.
You can spread HPV and not even know you have it. Men and women can carry and spread HPV without visible warts or lesions.
HPV can spread even when you use a condom.
From the NY Times: HPV infection is the most common — between 75 percent and 80 percent of females and males in the United States will be infected at some point in their lives. Most will overcome the infection with no ill effects. But in some people, infections lead to cellular changes that cause or cancer, including cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers in women and anal cancer in men. A growing body of evidence suggests that HPV also causes throat cancers in men and women as a result of oral sex.
Unless research changes to validate the vaccine as more dangerous than helpful in a majority of cases, I'm standing strong. The most common STD in America can spread without knowledge of your having it, with protection in use, and can lead to cancer.
Yeah, I'd be vaccinating.
My parents are relatively conservative Christians and as soon as the HPV vaccine came out my mom insisted that I get the...

My sinI bow at His Throne,
And praise how I love Him so.
I write poetry to infuse words so divine
To show Him that I mean each line.
I rage about sin in a holy confession
Tick tock tick tock
But my confession is this,
I'm the sinner needing Salvation.
I down talk the other sins,
But mine is the biggest.
For it consumes my very being.
Tick tock tick tock
'I love him.' I try to tell God,
Like that would make Him understand.
That He can bypass me and my shame.
I'm fooling only the naïve part of me.
So I roll up this newspaper, pretend
Pretend like the headlines don't matter.
But its screaming out on the page.
Tick tock . Tick tock
I'm a sinner with only One Way out.
I'm an adulterer with only One Way out.
I'm a liar with only One Way out.
I'm a failure with only One Way out.
I'm dead with only One Way to Live.
Christ died on the cross for me,
Bought every single lie I believe.
He was nailed to that wood for my sin.
The whips He endured for
Open Minded Brain SurgeryA flicker of the lights
Caused a prickle in my skin.
Fate firmly grounded,
Time to rid me of my sin.
The scalpel rusty and dull,
But an efficient tool of trade.
A moment of abhorrence
But a moment to quickly fade.
No anaesthetic,
No drugs to hold the rage.
I need to feel the piercing
Of the flesh: my mind's cage.
The groaning and the shrieking
Can't be held back any more.
Let the bad out, my broken one
While they reattach and restore.
Restrained and fading
From the only world I've known.
A life of twisted thinking,
But a life I've called my own.
Doctor, can you hear me?
The pain has almost gone.
Nurses, do you feel it?
The impulse I can't act on.
Sewn shut and ready
To begin a whole new life.
My new world will be bright and pure
My heart can crush the cause of strife.
The First DreamSome time ago, I had my first dream with you. I felt myself fall through time and space, opening my eyes to green, flowing fields stretching across the land. Renegade trees and flowers filled the nearby hills, with majestic mountains standing before me. The universe was layed out upon the heavens above, I was on no part of earth.
A soft stream of air blew my hair across my face; it was long, thick, I saw myself as I was truly born. I felt all of my power; my sword, Darious, lay sheathed next to me. The blade had been drawn from my soul, and forged in the fires of hell. It shone brightly, turning my attention to the sky.
From that moment, every sense, sight, and feeling unfolded as if it were a memory. As I lay there gazing at the stars, I felt the soft, gentle touch of your hand gently glide up my arm. As I turned me head slowly, you lay there beside me with your hair flowing down your slender body, and your soft, ravenblack wings flat beneath you. I rose up, kneeling over you, looking
FanaticMy vision blurs,
'Till the only thing I can see is you.
Black hair; I still remember you.
You smile gently, and walk away.
I chase you.
I chase the only thing I know.
But I can't find you,
Do you even exist?
A mirror, I guess that's what you are,
A mirror of myself,
Was I only chasing myself?
What the fuck is going on?
Tell me; girl, explain this to me.
I'm you're number one fan,
Even so, how come you don't remember me?
You laugh gently, and walk away.
I light the path in front of me,
But it only gets darker.
Still, I follow your voice,
But it gets distorted in the distance,
Static contact, pulling us apart,
Explain to me why this happened

page 3 - 2004 Pontiac GTO
The newest muscle car.
By November 6, 2003 / Photos by Guy Spangenberg
The GTO's interior, assembled in Elizabeth, Australia, along with the rest of the car, is among the most inviting we've seen from the General. Seats are ultra-comfortable and generously bolstered (even the rears).
What's essentially the Corvette's 350-bhp LS1 5.7-liter V-8 is a tidy fit in the GTO's engine bay. Its power delivery has lost nothing in the translation.
All but the tallest GTO drivers will avoid coupe hair, as the headliner is just high enough; and the tilt and telescoping steering wheel help accommodate the long-legged. A dead pedal would help even the left-to-right foot straddle situation; maybe next year, says Pontiac. Also expect a hood scoop at least as an option in '05.
Whether it's a purple-faced tachometer or pushrod power that attracts, all demographics meet with the first twist of the key, for then exquisite V-8 tones bathe the ears. Pontiac labored long to endow the GTO with the full repertoire of classic V-8 oratory, and succeeded wonderfully. From a deep glugging idle, the guttural run through the gears, just detectable steady-state growl at cruise or full-throated roar when working, the exhaust note is elemental V-8 not even a crossover pipe dilutes its primal nature and the enthusiast's first confirmation they got this car right.
There's nothing imprecise about the power delivery, though. Squeeze it, hammer it, roll it on, the 5.7 is ready with either a flood of torque or an exciting charge of horsepower. For responsiveness, it's impossible to beat a high-powered, naturally aspirated engine with enough displacement to do the job, and that's the 5.7 in a bearing shell. It doesn't even really matter which transmission is used coupled with its tight torque-converter tune; the completely conventional 4-speed automatic moves the GTO to 60 mph just a couple of tenths later than the manual in a series of firm shifts, and is obediently responsive between corners.

The AJC dining team's Popular Eats specialist Jon Watson says, "C&S Seafood & Oyster bar in Vinings carries one of the most impressive and diverse rotating selections of oysters in town.

Perhaps not a raw bar by definition, but Oceanaire has the best oysters I've had in Atlanta. Six Ft Under is decent. I cannot believe people are mentioning Steamhouse. Probably the worst oysters I've ever had.

Because of this poll, (and because I'm off on Fall Break this week) I ventured over to Fontaine's today for the 4-7 1/2 priced oyster special. Sat at the bar, had 2 dozen raw. FANTASTIC!! Kudos to Amanda behind the bar for introducing me to Sam Adams October draft. You now have a LOYAL patron. (I'm furious I've been here for about 2 decades and had never heard of this place until now) Fell in love with the place. It's worth the time to pay it a visit!

Canon IXUS 115 HS review
Review Date : Fri, 27 May 2011
Author : Paul Nuttall
Canon's latest IXUS HS model combines both stylish design with a strong specification, but how does it shape up on the testing bench? Our Canon IXUS 115 HS review finds out...
|Excellent design, slim body, good image quality, reasonable price tag
|LCD screen not the highest specification, no manual control, missing a few features
Canon IXUS 115 HS review - Features
Canon's IXUS series has long been one of the leading compact camera brands, and the introduction of HS technology has solely served to enhance this reputation. The Canon IXUS 115 HS is the latest in the fashionable line of these models, and promises good image quality in a compact and eye-catching body.
The model boasts a 4x stabilised optical zoom that covers a focal range of 28-112mm in 35mm equivalent terms, which also offers a macro close focus point of just 3cm. The compact features a 12MP backlit CMOS sensor which is supported by both a DIGIC 4 processor and Canon's HS technology which promises improved performance in low light conditions.
As this IXUS is more towards the lower-end of the range, consumers will no doubt welcome the addition of Smart Auto mode, which assesses the scene and picks the mode to suit the conditions. Again, as is somewhat to be expected for a camera more aimed at the consumer of those looking for a first-time compact, the Canon IXUS 115 HS is lacking in manual exposure control, although the 32 scene modes do offer the suitable controls for most conditions.
Other features of the Canon IXUS 115 HS include a 3in PureColor II G LCD screen - although the screen is striking on first glance, it disappointing that the resolution sits at just 230k-dots, which is definitely at the lower end of the scale.
As is the case with a vast amount of compact cameras arriving to the market these days, the IXUS 115 HS ships with full HD movie capture at 1080p resolution and 24fps, while video capture is also supported by dynamic IS for extra stability when shooting. Finally, the Canon IXUS 115 HS is complete with an HDMI output connection for simple connectivity to an HD TV or monitor.

June's masterpiece was written by Frederick Douglass: slave, orator, and abolitionist. His narrative is considered one of the most important and influential writings of the abolitionist movement of the early nineteenth century in the United States. First published in 1845, Frederick Douglass's Narrative "is an enlightening and incendiary text. Born into slavery, Douglass became the preeminent spokesman for his people during his life; his narrative is an unparalleled account of the dehumanizing effects of slavery and Douglass's own triumph over it."

The clothier H&M is in the news this week and Craita, Ann C., and Marjukka O. all sent in links to the story. It turns out that they are using a mannequin to display their clothes. Nothing new here. Except that the mannequins are appearing on their website (instead of their brick-and-mortar stores) and they are photoshopping heads of real models onto the figure and changing the skin color, giving it the illusion of being a real person.
bit weird
This is actually just…appalling. That they are getting away with this.
wow -.-
I heard about this a while back, and can I just say that this is BULLSHIT?
So it's official: even model's bodies aren't even 'good enough' anymore.
This is disgusting it's gotten so extreme that now only one type of body is acceptable to the extent that only one body...
What the actual fuck?
As a designer I find this quite intriguing. That is some damn good photoshop. As a female I don't really care because...

|Orc (Humanoid)
|The Crossroads [52, 32]
|Olgra (wife),deceased.
Mankrik is a level 15 quest giver located at the Crossroads in the Horde-aligned territory of the Barrens.
Many people misspell Mankrik to Mankirk.
It is possible that Mankrik is a former member of the Burning Blade Clan and a blademaster, as he shows signs of obsession (asking you to kill dozens of thorntusks) and also displays a Burning Blade banner outside his hut. This seems to be confirmed with his new guise in Cataclysm.
He starts the following quests:
- [20] Consumed by Hatred
- [20] Lost in Battle (also known as "Mankrik's Wife")
History Edit
Mankrik and his wife Olgra battled quilboars in a small tauren camp when they were separated by the overwhelming numbers. As he saw his wife being overwhelmed by newcomers, rage came over him as he turned to face his enemies, but they brought him down easily with their vast numbers. He later awoke to a tauren druid tending his wounds — the druid has come across him on the Gold Road as he fell.[1] Filled with uncertainty whether his wife was still alive or not, he stands at the Crossroads every day scouting the horizon for more quilboars to quench his bloodthirst.[2]
He later managed to retrieve the corpse of his wife and bury her, raising a humble monument in her honor. However his thirst for their blood had still not been quenched, killing every quilboar he's seen since they murdered his wife and burned down his homestead.[3] Still not satisfied with the slaughter of the quilboar at Thorn Hill, he later traveled to the Southern Barrens, realizing that there will be no peace without his wife, wanting to see their very homes razed.[4]
World of Warcraft: CataclysmEditThis section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
In Cataclysm, Mankrik, now elite, can be found at Grol'dom Farm.
Near the time of the Cataclysm, Mankrik will finally recover and bury his wife.[5]
World of Warcraft: Warlords of DraenorEditThis section concerns content exclusive to Warlords of Draenor.It has been jokingly speculated that Mankrik will be able to re-unite with his wife in World of Warcraft's fifth expansion: Warlords of Draenor by the player altering the timeline to prevent her death or Mankrik journeying back to see her in the 'past'.
This has yet to be confirmed or denied.
However, there is a questline in Warlords of Draenor called Lost in Nagrand in which Mankrik is a child and you have to locate his girlfriend Olgra.

CBS wants to proceed with an 11th season of "Two and a Half Men" and would like Angus T. Jones to be part of it.
Jones' future on the popular sitcom came into question after he slammed "Two and a Half Men" on a viral YouTube video in November. But CBS entertainment chief Nina Tassler says all is forgiven.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"The kid's 19 years old. I have a 24-year-old. Between the ages of 19 and 24, there are plenty of things my kid has said that I wish he hadn't," Tassler told reporters Saturday after her executive media session at the Television Critics Association press tour. "The bottom line is that cooler heads prevailed. He's been a beloved member of that cast for years and years and years, and he issued a public apology. At the end of the day (the producers) want him to come back and he wants to be back, and we move on."
Tassler added that currently no cast member is signed for "Two and a Half Men" beyond this season.
"We don't have our cast deals. But that's the price of doing business every year," she said. "The nice thing is this is a happy cast, these are happy people. We had a bit of a glitch, but what else is new?"
Other highlights from the CBS executive session:
Tassler says she's "confident and excited" that "everything is almost completed" for a Season 9 renewal of "How I Met Your Mother." An official announcement is expected in a few days.
"Under the Dome," a 13 episode sci-fi thriller based on a Stephen King novel, will debut on June 24. The series is being produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment unit. "Under the Dome" is the saga of a small New England town that is suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome.
"Ever since 'Jericho,' I've loved these big-idea shows," Tassler said.
"Unforgettable" has been forgotten. Season 2 of the crime procedural starring Poppy Montgomery premieres 9 p.m. July 29 and will air in "The Good Wife" time slot during the summer.
"Big Brother," a CBS reality mainstay, returns earlier than usual on July 2.

On December 16, 2006, a skit aired on NBC that swept the nation. The skit was a Saturday Night Live digital short, entitled "A Special Christmas Box," written and produced by Andy Samberg. In the skit, featuring Samberg and guest host, Justin Timberlake, the two men, dressed as douchebags/womanizers, sing about giving each of their lovers a special gift, concealed in a box. The gift wasn't a diamond ring. In fact, it was better; it was a dick!
Most people (mainly guys), originally hated this skit. Girls, on the other hand, loved it. Maybe because Justin Timberlake was in it. Or maybe because girls love dicks. In the end, most people who originally felt disgust for the skit eventually learned to like it. At the moment, it even has near 24 million views on YouTube!
Whether you love it or hate it, it was announced today tha has been nominated for "Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics" for the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

Models off duty press
@haileyhasbrook at her 3d casting of 5 today which is @bcbgmaxazria (Taken with Instagram)
Hailey Hasbrook (Elite, NY) "Hailing" from Gresham, Oregon to the face of Marc by Marc in under one year. Hailey did the remarkable last season in that she walked BOTH the Marc by Marc Jacobs show as well as the Marc Jacobs show. Hailey also has extensive Off Duty value too, as you can see from her inarguable sense of personal style. She likes to shop at vintage stores, she makes her own clothes which for summer includes alot of cut off's. So besides seeing Hailey in nearly every September Issue publication, I predict you'll be seeing her in a lot of street style photos—once other photographers begin to recognize her.
Hailey Hasbrook (Elite, NY) Click HERE to see what the Elite New York blog has on Hailey
NEW FACE: HAILEY HASBROOK (Elite, NY)In continuation of my series celebrating the new management at Elite New York I met up this time with Hailey Hasbrook. We F-trained it to DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), talked about the difference between style in Oregon and NYC, and braved the cold air on the water. Hailey gracefully began to move, sometimes subtly with the arch of an eyebrow, sometimes suddenly with a full jump. In every case, I could sense her whole heart and soul was behind each motion. HAILEY WORKS HARD and does so with spirited positivity.As the others did, Hailey took the time to answer a couple of questions:
- altamira:Your favorite virtue?
- HAILEY:Inner Strength.
- altamira: Your favorite food and drink?
- HAILEY: I'm a girl that loves a good burger. And a shake…or Pepsi. Dessert wise: chocolate mousse or chocolate cake. OH! and I love taco salad…I just love food in general.
It's little wonder that with Jacques Torres so close to the park in DUMBO, that we had a quick stop for a chocolate fix on the way home.

Michael Parkhurst
- DOB January 24, 1984
- Age 30
- Place of birth Providence, Rhode Island
- POSITION Defender
- CLUB Columbus Crew
- TWITTER @mfparkhurst (198K followers)
- Current ASN 100 Rank 26
- Previous ASN 100 Rank 24
- Youth Experience U-23
Sometimes nice guys finish first.
Take Michael Parkhurst, the quiet, unassuming defender who won the MLS Fair Play Award in 2007 and 2008 and was named MLS Humanitarian of the Year in 2006 and 2008. A regular starter during his four seasons with the New England Revolution, Parkhurst moved to Denmark in 2009 to play for FC Nordsjælland, a small club with modest ambitions. Helped considerably by Parkhurst's steady play at the back, FC Nordsjælland surprised everyone in 2011-2012 by winning the Danish SuperLiga—qualifying for the 2012-2013 Champions League in the process.
Make no mistake—Parkhurst is more than just a good guy. He was named MLS Rookie of the Year in 2005 and MLS Defender of the Year in 2007, and U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann called on the defender six times in 2012 most recently on October 16 against Guatemala. The Rhode Island native currently has 15 total caps, dating back to June 2007 when he debuted against Trinidad and Tobago in the Gold Cup.
Though primarily a center back during his MLS days, Parkhurst now plays mostly at right back in Denmark. "Nordsjælland definitely see my top position as a right back," Parkhurst told The New York Times. "At first I was apprehensive, because I've been playing center back my whole life, but I've grown into the role. I play the position pretty much as a winger. I'm having fun with it."
This versatility is both a blessing and a curse, at least from a national team perspective. Parkhurst's ability to play either spot will make him an attractive roster option for Klinsmann in the build-up to the 2014 World Cup. But getting stuck with the "tweener" label could relegate Parkhurst to backup duty. (Just ask Jonathan Spector.) And with right backs Steve Cherundolo and (probably) Timothy Chandler both ahead of him on the depth chart, the 28-year-old Parkhurst will need to push hard to see meaningful playing time as the 2014 World Cup draws closer.Parkhurst was tipped for big things following a winter move to FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga, but injuries prevented him from making any real impact for the German side, as he picked up just two appearances for his new club. Klinsmann's choice to play the far less experienced Brad Evans at right back recently for the U.S. was another blow for Parkhurst. Parkhurst's just-announced move to the Columbus Crew could give him a shot at making the 2014 World Cup squad and, more importantly, getting his stalled career back on track. If he puts in strong, composed performances, the man who impressed in the Champions League group stages will be firmly back in Klinsmann's good graces.

CHATTAROY, Wash. - There really is nothing about the last two years of Ryleigh's life that has been ordinary. She turned 13 this year, but when she was 11 she was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease called dermatomyositis that breaks down muscle, tissue and skin and left her with awful arthritis. She spent many months in the hospital trying to figure out what was wrong, but it wasn't until she met with a doctor in Seattle that they got their answer.
"We walked in, quite literally walked in the doctor's office, she looked at her cuticles and the doctor said you have dermatomyositis, my friend," Ryleigh's mom Julie said.
So for months she went through treatment and unfortunately missed most of 5th grade because of the appointments. Because of the strong battle she fought she was able to make a wish through the "Make A Wish" foundation and thankfully it was granted. She got to go to Disney World for a whole week with her family. But this vacation was a whole lot more than a normal trip to the Magic Kingdom because all of the Disney darlings brought her to the front of every line and sent her more prizes than she knew what to do with.
"Even if we left for like five minutes we'd come back and there'd be something there," Ryleigh said.
"It took a while coming home because it wasn't just, 'yes, Princess Ryleigh, you can have everything," Ryleigh's mom Julie said. "The trip was nice because it gave her something good to focus on and that is what she said, 'something good came out of me being sick."
Next Thursday, January 24th, KHQ will be working with the "Make A Wish" foundation to ensure more kids are able to get their wish granted. All you have to do is call into our Connect Center between 5:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. (next Thursday) and donate your unused airline miles. All of those miles will go toward granting more wishes for children who are fighting difficult, sometimes life-threatening illnesses.

The flavour was amazing. I did add some red chili flakes for a bit of heat, and added some mushrooms, 'cause they had to be used up, but otherwise followed recipe exactly. Both hubby and I loved it, will definitely make again. The two of us could have eaten it all, it was sooooooo good. Nice to have a vegetarian meal that tastes great!

Choral Day is no misnomer: Rehearsal for the festival's mass chorus began at 9:40 a.m., and ran until the 4 p.m. closing concert. Choral Day offers local ensembles an opportunity to come together to share their passion for choral music. It is also a chance for St. Olaf to showcase its ensembles to a large audience of potential prospective students.
Both Manitou Singers, the first-year womens chorus, and the St. Olaf Choir sang brilliant solo sets. Viking Chorus, the first-year mens chorus, the Chapel Choir and Cantorei sang with the festival mass choir.
This year's participants were led by Professor Emeritus of Luther College Weston Noble, an internationally known conductor and clinician and holder of an honorary doctorate from St. Olaf. The only conductor ever to have been invited to lead All-State ensembles in band, choir and orchestra, Noble has served as guest conductor in more than 775 music festivals in the United States and abroad.
Noble received a warm welcome from musicians.
Working with Weston Noble reminded me of why I am a vocal music education major, Stef Fiser 06 said.
The concert opened with the festival mass choir singing Comfort, Comfort, arranged by St. Olaf Cantorei Conductor John Ferguson.
Mason City High Schools choir, directed by Joel Everist, was the first solo choir to take the stage. Wayzata High Schools choir followed, directed by Rebecca Hagestuen-Wyffels 84.
After the two solo high schools, the festival choir performed There Shall Be A Star from Jacob from Christus by Felix Mendelssohn. The Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church Choir sang next, followed by the Manitou Singers.
After Manitous stunning Dies Irae by Z. Randall Stroope, Noble ascended to the podium and led the festival chorus moving performance of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, arranged by Gilbert Martin.
Ferguson accompanied the 1500-voice choir on organ, making this piece one of the most powerful, memorable songs of the festival.
The St. Olaf Choir made the last solo performance of the day, joined by Noble on the third song of their set, The Lord is the Everlasting God, written by former St. Olaf Choir director Kenneth Jennings.
As the St. Olaf Choir returned to their seats, the festival chorus stood for the closing piece of the day, Stay With Us, by Egil Hovland.
Even though Choral Day ensembles were challenged by the acoustic space of a gymnasium, the festival mass choir and the five solo ensembles performed marvelously.

The last few months have been the most whirlwind months of my life. I hit my highest and lowest points. I have pushed my self past limits that I held myself within all my life. It's amazing to see what I have accomplished. The last 6 months I worked for an awesome non-profit writing their weekly blog and other forms of social media. It taught me a lot. I also took a full load of classes. That also taught me a lot. I also was in a long distance relationship. That taught me the most about myself. I learned that I'm very smart and a great student something I never really thought I possessed. I learned that I'm a beautiful person inside and out. I learned to have confidence in myself and to put myself out there. I learned how to say goodbye to someone very dear to me. I learned how to forgive even if a reason wasn't given to. I learned that I'm human and that I'm allowed to have breakdowns, but just don't unpack there. I learned how awesome my family and framily is. I learned how to enjoy the little things. To say the least these past few months have been molding me in the best ways possible. I am finally becoming exactly who I want to be. I have gained a drive in me to do better, and work harder unlike anything I have ever experienced. I'm more thirsty for life then I ever thought I would be. For the first time ever I'm really appreciating those little things in between the big things, because those little things are what make life great. So this post will be the only post with no recipe in it. I haven't had much time to bake with 21 units and trying to really experience life but I promise I will post something soon. In the meantime you should really try my famous corn pop brownies….just saying.
What I've learned so far.
Rediscovering (Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Ice Cream)
The dark night sky had a sprinkling of twinkling stars. In the distance a star shoots across the somber sky. A white owl hoots on a nearby fence post, while a jack rabbit scampers across the curvy road. The thick smell of manure wafts through the heater of the car as I gulp down hot tea.
Every year growing up I connected fall to Halloween. I would have a huge Halloween party every year with an awesome haunted house. Our house was that Halloween house. Since starting college though most friends had moved away and I to moved away from that tradition. I just all together stopped celebrating the holiday, it was too disappointing. Each Halloween night I would get an uneasy feeling as I saw posts of old friends going out on the town or partying it up. I would pass out candy to the little kids but in all honesty eat more of it. Halloween had gone from being the most anticipated holiday to can't waiting for it to be over.
This Year though I too have moved away from home where all those traditions once happened. I have moved about 3 hours away from my hometown to attend college. It's very much a college town. The college is right next to the downtown which makes it easy to get around on bike. Transitioning to a new life here in this town was strange for me not just because it's a whole new place but because all my friends are moving home at this point. This year though all my friends that have moved home from college are coming to stay with and visit me for Halloween. It's the first time I get to host a Halloween in my own home as an adult". The concept is exciting and strange. I'm starting to turn around the idea of what Halloween is and I hope to make new traditions this year and rediscover Halloween.
One of my favorite seasons is fall. When the leaves on the vineyards turn to a robust orange, yellow, and red. When all the animals start to gather food for the winter ahead and go into hibernation and the only creatures on the early morning roads are owls. When I can start wearing knit sweaters and boots. When crisp leaves are lying on every street, ready to be stepped on. When Starbucks gets in their seasonal drinks. When I get to create delicious fall desserts. Like this easy Pumpkin Ice Cream. To be honest it's still 90 degrees where I live now and probably will be in the mid 80's when Halloween comes.
Update: I started this post in October a few years ago and I just didn't have time to get back to it until now. I was going to scarp it and put a new recipe up with a new story but I love this recipe and the story with it. I feel the post of Rediscovering really goes for the last few months for me; in that I'm rediscovering life from a new vantage point. It's been a long road but I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Thanks for waiting for me to post.

Ride the wave out(Peach Infused Cream Puffs)
Our bodies bobbed up and down in the crisp cold water. seaweed tickled our toes as it was pushed by the coming waves. The noise of lapping water on the hard sand and kids in the distance laughing was all that could be heard. We glanced out into the expansive ocean, no words were spoken, just a quick glance at each other confirming this was the one. Theres the short amount of confusion in whether we should get closer or sit tight and wait for the wave to sweep us up. The moment was coming, the moment of riding the wave, we gripped our boards and turned our backs to the oceans and threw our bodies down. In a quick few seconds we were lifted in the air, being pushed forward, by a foaming cool mass. The water gathered around our bodies moving us forward; toward the quiet beach. Before we knew it we were beached on the hard sand, the water had retreated leaving us still. Our laughter was now the only thing that could be heard. We dove back into the salty clear water. The silky water greeting us like an old friend. We repeated that experience all day. The rough voice of my teacher awoke me from my day-dream. I was in my math, weeks had gone by since I had been at the beach submerged it's refreshing bliss. I sat up straiter and tried to focus on what he was trying to teach us.
Over the summer I worked at a lovely bakery, which is thankfully right next to the beach. I had taken an intensive math course over the summer while working there and didn't have all the that much free time but when ever I had the energy I would go to the beach after work. It was my saving grace. There's something about the beach that frees the mind, takes away stress and refreshes me. The light house in the distance making a quiet but continuous warning, the seals having conversations, and the aggressive waves hitting against the rocky cliffs.
These days I'm still working full-time at the bakery, taking a number of classes, and am an ambassador for an awesome organization. It keeps me busy, but never to busy to sit on the warm sand and enjoy the sparkling ocean view. As things get really tough this semester I tell myself this: Think of every challenge like a wave you would ride, it may seem huge and scary and you may feel like it will consume; like you won't make it out alive, but if you just go right at it and ride it no matter how scared it will carry you to solid ground. The ride itself is always nice to, look around a bit. I hope everyone had a great summer.
Peach Infused Cream Puffs
I infused these with a peach flavored tea and it was a very subtle taste but perfect for cream puffs. Next time I think I might add pureed peach to give it a little more of the peach punch. This can also be infused with any other tea flavor the possibilities are endless.
Pate a choux
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, plus 1 large egg white
1.Bring butter, sugar, salt, and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture pulls away from sides and a film forms on bottom of pan, about 3 minutes.
2.Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low-speed until slightly cooled, about 1 minute. Raise speed to medium; add whole eggs, 1 at a time, until a soft peak forms when batter is touched with your finger. If peak does not form, lightly beat remaining egg white, and mix it into batter a little at a time until it does.
Tart Dough
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1.Put butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low-speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolks, and mix until combined, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup flour, and mix just until flour is incorporated. Add remaining 3/4 cup flour, the salt, and cream; mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
2.Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic, and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Pastry Cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 peach tea bags (or any flavor you want)
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1.Bring milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tea bags, and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2.Whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Whisking, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Slowly add remaining milk mixture until incorporated. Pour mixture back into the saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, whisking, until it begins to bubble in center and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; discard vanilla bean.
3.Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add butter; beat on medium speed until butter has melted and mixture has cooled, about 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Just before using, beat on low-speed or whisk by hand until smooth.
1.Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or with nonstick baking mats, such as Silpats. Dip a 2-inch round cookie cutter in flour, and mark circles 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Transfer pate a choux to a pastry bag fitted with a 5/8-inch plain tip and pipe puffs to fit in flour circles. Smooth peaks with a moistened finger, rounding tops to ensure even rising. Freeze pastry puffs on baking sheets until firm, about 30 minutes.
2.Meanwhile, sprinkle a clean work surface with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and place tart dough on top of sugar, patting it into a round. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup sugar over dough, and roll to a scant 1/8-inch thick, coating both sides of dough with the sugar to keep it from sticking. Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out 36 rounds, and place a round on top of each frozen puff. Return to freezer until firm, at least 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds.
3.Bake puffs until pale golden brown all over, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely on baking sheets on wire racks. Puffs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature overnight.
4.Put heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Whisk the pastry cream to soften. Working in 2 batches, fold whipped cream into pastry cream. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Insert tip into bottom of each puff, and fill. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cream puffs are best eaten within a few hours; refrigerate in an airtight container.
Patience (Chai Cake with Honey-Ginger Cream)
My body flew up into a sitting position, scrambling to hit off the booming alarm. Through the darkness my phone read 4am. I slowly slid out of bed and started to get dressed. I made my way to the kitchen, boiled some water for tea, put my hair up, and swooped up the rest of my belongings and was out the door in no time. The fog laid thick on the street, the only light was from the moon and glistening stars. I jumped into my car, immediately turning it on to get the heater going, and docked my phone to get some music playing. Once the car was warm and toasty, I put my car into drive, and started singing to the music. I drove to the outskirts of town, and then I was free; driving out on the fogging country roads.
I just got a new job, a dream job for me. I work at a small bakery, in a very small town, where we make everything from scratch, and everything is local. I'm the morning baker for week days, and I love it. All our baking is done right out where the customers can see us; so there's a lot of interaction. We have the locals that come hang out, tons of road bikers, and tons of tourists on the way to the beaches. Getting up early in the morning isn't bad at all, I really enjoy it actually. It's peaceful because no one is out, and I get to go bake. I have been working hard at staying patient for a bakery job to come along, these last few months have been hard; waiting. Finally the perfect job has come along, and I still have to remind myself to be patient, when it comes to learning everything. Patience is a virtue.

Sweet Summer time(Rhubarb Bread)
The dull pencil colored in another bubble on the scantron. Each time I filled in one more I was a little closer. "Focus" I told myself. I continued to fill in the bubbles while tapping my foot on the floor. With one last marking my last final was done. I jumped in my car cranked the tunes, opened my window and cruzed home. The memories started flooding back. Sitting on the dirt ground, the only light from the moon and the stars, staring at a star lit lake. Looking around at cousins, my family all snuggled their gazes stuck on the lake. The warm breeze hitting our faces. The fish jumping, dancing on top of the rippling lake. All our family camping trip, eating loads of deviled ham, being burnt to a crisp, and making smores over the crackling fire. More memories kept flooding in.
Spending many warm summer days out at the beach. We would pack up our rickety minivan like there was no tomorrow. Once we arrived at the beach we would run straight towards the waves. The hot sand wedged between our little toes, gobs of sun block not properly rubbed in, and the sun beams greeting us like old friends. Little waves would lap over our feet with us squealing in delight from the icy water our feet were submerged in. After hours of my sisters, cousins and I swimming, sand castle building, and burying each other to our hearts content; we would all cram back into the van, our new sun burns being rubbed the wrong way by the scratchy seats.
These were just a few of the memories that flashed by in my mind as I drove home from my last final. When I got home, I immediately went to the kitchen pulled out some butter, sugar and eggs. As I started to toss ingredients into bowls I thought of the memories I will make this summer.
The recipes:
At the market behind my house they sell fruits and vegetable that are about to go bad, I have mentioned how I bought a huge bag of Key limes for $2, well also bought a huge bag of rhubarb for 79 cents. I couldn't pass it up! The bread was moist, sweet and little tangy from the Rhubarb. The Key Lime curd was a complimentary to that tangyness. I think I will plan on making it again with some strawberries in the bread to add a bit more sweetness. Rhubarb Bread
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups rhubarb, rinse, chop
1. Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. With electric mixer cream butter, sugar and cream cheese until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla.
3. In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Blend flour mixture with butter mixture just until blended. Add buttermilk and only stir until just combined; do not over mix.
4. Carefully fold in strawberries. Dough mixture will be thick.
5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
Lime Curd
3 large eggs
1/3 to 1/2 cup (63g to 96g) of sugar (I used 1/2 cup (96g) in recipe above)
Zest of 1 lime
1/2 cup (0.118L) of fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons (3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (optional)
1. Whisk the eggs and sugar in saucepan until a light lemony color. Alternatively this can be done in a stand mixer and then added to the saucepan. This will take a minute or two in the mixer and more if doing by hand. Add in the zest, lime juice and pieces of butter.
2. Place saucepan over medium heat and constantly whisk mixture until it starts to thicken. Allow it to come to a simmer for a couple of seconds and remove from heat. Add vanilla here if you choose to. Cool to room temperature and then place in a container in the frig. It will thicken more as it cools down.
Butter an Eggs
Butter and eggs are the most common ingredients while baking, but that isn't why I named my new blog that. I had grown out of the name Baking Monster awhile ago; I stopped baking crazy amounts of desserts and just didn't feel the name fit anymore. I didn't simply want to change the name of my blog but I also wanted to add something to it. I wanted the blog to be more about my life and not just about the baked goods. I have many family members and friends all over the world reading this, and I felt like I brushed past my life and focused completely on the food and to an extent that's fine but for me I needed a change. I had two wonderful years on Baking Monster but I am fully ready to make the jump into a new direction. I will still of course post recipes once a week but will now also post a story or snippet from life with some pictures also.
The reason I chose the name "Butter an Eggs" is because I grew up (and still live in) a town that was once known as the Chicken Capital of the world. Every year we have a Butter an Eggs day parade. Theres the cutest chick contest, where parents dress their children in itchy and uncomfortable chicken costumes. Theres the cow chip throwing contest and then the parade. 20,000 people come out each year, the whole downtown is full of beer gardens, jump houses and kettle corn booths. The history of my town and the parade itself has greatly impacted me. I thought if I'm starting a new blog that's not just about food but life to why not name it after something that has so greatly impacted me as a person. I'm excited for this new transition, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
>Strawberry Lemon Layer Cake
I have been in a funk. A baking funk that is. I love to bake and most of the time I have a long list of items I want to try and make. Recently though I felt so pressured to bake what other people wanted that I wasn't baking for my own enjoyment anymore. When it comes to paid orders I'm obviously completely happy baking what the customer wants and I'm also happy doing that when it's not a paid order, but recently it has become too much of what everyone else wants. I want to experiment with weird ingredients, new baking equipment, and challenging recipes. What everyone else wants seems to being boring traditional recipes. The other day I was out to lunch and ordered a strawberry lemonade and I thought to myself "what if I made a cake this flavor?". So I set out to do it, and I made one heck of a cake. I may be getting out of the funk.
2 C A.P. Flour
1 1/2 C sugar
3 1/2 tsp. B.P.
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or shortening
1 C milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
2 tsp lemon zest
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour baking two 9″ or 8″ round pans. Measure all ingredients into large mixer bowl. Blend 1/2 minute on low speed. Scrape down sides. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Pour into pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool. Once cooled slice each cake in half. Put the first piece of cake on a round 9″ or 8″ cake board. Fill a pastry bag with a medium sized tip with some frosting. Pipe around the edge the edge of the cake. Then fill with lemon curd. Then repeat for the next two layers. Then put the last piece on top. Do a crumb coat and then put the cake in the fridge for 15 minutes. Then take out and put final frosting layer on and decorate.
Lemon Curd:
3 lemons
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
4 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup lemon juice (3 to 4 lemons)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Using a carrot peeler, remove the zest of 3 lemons, being careful to avoid the white pith. Put the zest in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is very finely minced into the sugar.
Cream the butter and beat in the sugar and lemon mixture. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and then add the lemon juice and salt. Mix until combined.
Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. The lemon curd will thicken at about 170 degrees F, or just below simmer. Remove from the heat and cool or refrigerate.
Strawberry Frosting:
2 C butter room temp
6 C confectioner sugar
2/3 C seedless strawberry jam
In a mixer beat the butter and sugar together. Once combined at the jam and beat until combined.
>Cream Cheese Swirled Brownies
Since I bake so much, I usually send the majority of baked goods either with my dad to work or sometime with my mum. Recently though I have started baking for my book group that comes over to my house. It's really fun to bake new things for a new group of people. I had a whole towering plate of these and thought that I would have too many left over but to my surprise there were only two left. I think those two were eaten by my dad that night. The light bit of cream cheese swirled into the dark chocolate cake bites was a terrific combination.
Brownie Ingredients:
1/2 cup, 2 Tbls cocoa powder
1/2 cup, 2 Tbls flour
6 oz butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg yolk
5 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Sift together cocoa powder and the flour. Melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs, 2 at a time stirring after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan. In a mixer, beat together the cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, and cinnamon. Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownies. Using dull knife swirl the cream cheese mixture in. Bake for 30 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Enjoy.
>Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Buns
I pushed my foot against the gas pedal ever so lightly as the car rolled slowly over the gravel road. I brought my foot off the gas pedal when we were greeted by a group of cows lazily walking on the road, every now and then chewing on some near by weeds. We continued on to the top of the hill. My best friend since childhood and I wanted to go somewhere that we could discuss photography and she had the perfect place in mind. Since it's winter it had rained the last few days, but that day was sunny and warm. We parked the car on the side of the road and walked to the edge of the hill. We were met with a scene of rolling green hills, old farms in the distance, the cows we passed on the way up, and glittering sun looking down on us. We lingered around for awhile talking about photography and other daily activities. We weren't worried about what else was going on, we just focused on the view and simple things discussed. These are the moments I live for, truly enjoying the little things. I'm constantly thinking about how grateful for having the family and friends I have and where I have gotten to grow up. These breakfast buns are one of those little things I'm grateful for. Snuggling up with good book, a bun and some hot tea on a rainy day; something I think I have lacked in my busy life these days. The cream cheese makes these buns awesome, so moist and the little bit of strawberry flavor is great addition. I would suggest putting it into regular muffin pans because these were a bit to big to my liking, but great for sharing with a friend.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Buns adapted from here
Bun1 3/4 a.p. flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound (one 8 oz package)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup of sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour 9 bun pans or large muffin cups.
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, butter, and sugar until smooth about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. Spoon the batter into the bun pans or muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Drop 3 small dollops of strawberry preserves into the batter, forming a decorative batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the bun comes out clean. Serve once cooled.

Look!: Woodblock Prints by Bronislaw M. Bak
We hit up some garage sales a couple weekends ago, and scored with a set of woodblock prints: One-Hundred Views of Chicago. Our set was down 13 prints (the owner let her daughter color on them years ago!), so we walked away with 87...and we LOVE them. We did a little searching online to find out what they were worth at Wright auction: $500-700. Not bad for some casual scavenging.
500 editions of the print set were made in 1967 here in Chicago. We think it's so fun that we ended up with at least part of one...
What are some of your best, most recent and/or unique garage sale finds??
8 Comments
What a gorgeous set. Blockprint is my favorite medium, and having a huge collection of Chicago scenes... I'm jealous.
My best garage sale find was an adorable small picnic basket, with two rectangular stacking compartments (picture a rectangular bamboo steamer). It was $2 and it's the perfect size for one or two... I can just grab it and walk out to the lake like it's my backyard.
Anne...that basket sounds great. i've been keeping my eyes peeled for a good one.
I may be willing to trade for a collection of Bak woodblock prints. :)
Ha! thanks for the offer, Anne. i just framed a few of them last night...loving them even more. : )
I just wanted to let you know that someone is selling a complete set on ebay for $4900. That seems a wee bit high for a collection that is not signed. That said, I am insanely jealous of your garage sale find! I think my favorite finds were an orange school locker, a danish credenza and bronze sailboat cleat (very sculptural).
ChicagoNicole: woah...4900k. ?? well it's definitely not appraised anywhere near that. hopefully the prospective buyers will do their research. can you link to it? i did a search but don't see it anywhere.
(and I'M jealous of your bronze sailboat cleat! sounds great)
Here is the ebay listing
Item number: 280133483052
I emailed the seller to see where they had gotten their appraisal information and their response was "I am sorry that I no longer have the information. We found the auction source on the Web and the sold price was $9,000.00. At the time we called them to see if they wanted another one to sell but they did not - I would guess it may be because they just sold one and to offer another set would not bring as much."
In the interest of knowledge (and 'cause I have too much free time) I called Wright and found that the collection that they had for sale in May 2002 did not sell and did not fetch the $500-700 price they had listed.
Still, you got a bargain no matter what you paid!
Thanks for the brag?

Beatrice N.
Home buyer in Aurora - South
Allan was great in helping me find the home that was right for me and my family. He was so patient with me when I was asking question after question or taking my time in making decisions. He also helped me in referring me to the different people I needed to talk to from the mortgage broker to the inspector. Without his knowledge and help, I do not think this home buying experience would have been as good as it was. Thank you so much for all you did, Allan!
Tim N.

Paul C.
Home buyer in Aurora
Mr. Howell has been superior providing me with any information I had requested. Because I work odd shifts/hours, Mr. Howell has gone out of his way, providing me with any information I had requested, so I never had to miss any work, yet he stayed up unuasually late - got up awfully early, to ensure I received any information I had requested. He should be rewarded for his due dilagence.
Home buyer in Arvada
We feel that Allan went out of his way for us and in fact still is, as the title company has not done what it's supposed to do. He's still working very hard for us even though we already closed on our house.
Home buyer in Aurora
Thank you allen for helping us get our dream house. You worked hard to satisfy our needs.

Allan Howell was probably the only person whom we completely trusted in through this entire process. We had a really hard situation due to the mortgage company we chose, but Allan never gave up on us - and really fought for us through and through! Let's just say that Allan will be the only one on our Holiday List ;)
Home buyer in Aurora
Allan was easy to get a hold of, always willing to help & did a great job overal.

Pie in the Sky
I PROBABLY NEVER WOULD have made the trek to Chris Iacono's Giuseppina's if it wasn't the sister pizza parlor to the popular Lucali in Carroll Gardens, which is owned by Iacono's own flesh-and-blood, brother Mark. With a generic awning, the short, dark building didn't look like much, but I quickly found out that what's inside warranted every moment it took to get there.
Thanks to bad directions on my first visit, I was 20 minutes late joining my friends at the table, a simple wood job that matched the heavy interior and was decorated with your pizza parlor basics: red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and a pizza tray stand. A friendly waitress with a thick Brooklyn accent and a bright smile brought me water and a glass of the Pinot Noir ($6), which was the only red offered by the glass. (The single white is a $6 glass of a crisp Pinot Grigio.) They didn't bother to tell us who made it, and that was fine given the limited options. It tasted first-rate and later proved a perfect match for our pie.
Giuseppina's doesn't have an extensive menu of food or wine. Scribbled on a dark chalkboard, the short list consists of pizza ($20) and calzones ($10 for a small, $20 for a large). No desserts, appetizers or salads are offered, and the only veggies you get are pizza toppings at $3 each.
Despite the limited choices, we still had a hard time deciding what to get because everything sounded good—and also because if you made your way toward the bathroom, you had to pass the pizza workstation. Here, Iacono mans the pizza counter surrounded by bowls of fresh buffalo mozzarella, piles of perfect-looking mushrooms, a dish of carefully placed artichoke hearts and a bright stack of red, orange and yellow peppers. Everything looked so bright and tasty; we wanted to put it all on our pie.
We finally decided on a pizza dotted with the night's special, artichoke hearts, as well as basil and garlic. We also got a pie with pepperoni and mushrooms, and splurged for a calzone with more pepperoni, basil and hot peppers. While Iacono expertly stretched out the dough and coated it with a smoky, sweet tomato sauce, piles of dry mozzarella, discs of thick meal and thin slices of Portobello, the restaurant quickly filled up. By 8:30, every table was full with families and young, hungry folks eager for dinner.
And then our food came. It was beautiful.
The large pies had thin, supple crusts with crackly, slightly charred edges that surrounded a perfect balance of cheese, sauce and toppings. I loved the kick of the garlic and basil mixed with the sweet, bright artichoke hearts. The cheese was mellow and fresh, not too oily, but gooey enough to warrant using a fork. Our pepperoni-and-mushroom pie fared just as well, though the smoky meat was the real star, trumping the other toppings. When we got the calzone, I delighted in the oozing ricotta that seeped out and mingled brilliantly with the salty pepperoni and hot, diced peppers—a winning combination everyone agreed on. It's probably possible to make a bad order at Giuseppina's, but you would really have to try.
The pizza wasn't the only part of the experience we were impressed by. The staff demonstrated a sound flow as one woman manned the tables, a teenage boy kept glasses filled with water and Iacono held court over his oven and kept a steady stream of food going.
It's safe to say that when it comes to Giuseppina's, I once was lost but now am definitely found.
