Chef Robert Irvine's Tips for Transforming Turkey Day Leftovers
Written on November 29, 2013 at 10:13 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, and you've likely allowed a little (hopefully!) indulgence to occur, what are you supposed to do with all the leftovers hanging out in the fridge? Celebrity chef Robert Irvine from Food Network's Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible is here on behalf of Gold's Gym with a few tips for making the most out of Thanksgiving scraps while leaving our diets in tact, of course.
First and foremost, think ahead when preparing each dish for the big day. Make more of the vegetable-based sides so you have healthier leftovers to work with the following day. And watch the cooking time! "I like vegetables that still have texture to them," says Irvine. "When we cook carrots, we don't cook them so you can actually squash them in your hand. They should have some bite to them, so when you reutilize them the next day, they still have nutrients in them."
And on the flipside, make fewer desserts to avoid the post-holiday sweets binge. While Chef Irvine is a believer in ending every meal with a bite of something sweet (read: not a handful of cookies!), he doesn't go to town on the holiday pumpkin and pecan pies. "I make individual servings so that everybody gets one and that's it. There is no seconds and therefore there's no leftovers and I don't have to deal with it staring at me the next day," he says. "There's only the good stuff."
When it comes to the main attraction, there are plenty of ways to reinvent Mr. Turkey that don't include two slices of gravy-soaked bread. Irvine combines the star ingredient with cranberry, brussel sprouts or cabbage and mashed potatoes—white or sweet—and gives the typical potato cake an upgrade. After chopping and combining all of the leftover ingredients, form each cake, coat them in egg white and panko breadcrumbs, pan-fry and top with a runny, poached egg. Now that's a post-Thanksgiving breakfast! Check out this version of his recipe where good-for-you collard greens take center stage.
Otherwise, try making risotto without your leftover potatoes. Chef Irvine poaches diced potatoes and combines them with chicken stock, sour cream, chopped parsley, a little salt and white pepper, and uses it as a risotto. "People look at me like I'm crazy, but it's really good and healthy," he says.
And as far as those leftover carrots are concerned, why not transform them into a gourmet salad dressing? Reheat them in chicken or vegetable stock and blend them in a blender with fresh, unpeeled ginger and a teaspoon of stone ground mustard. Add a little grapeseed oil and sparkling water, and voila! "You have a brand new carrot and ginger dressing for salads that will keep for a week or so. And you can do that with any othervegetable you have left," says Irvine.
Last but not least, a solid post-workout recovery meal is key for a guy who loves fitness almost as much as he loves food. Chef Irvine uses Thanksgiving turkey and vegetables in a fresh egg white frittata, which he serves cold, Spanish-style. After letting the pie cool, he plates slices alongside fresh tomato pico de gallo and smoked salmon. "That's our post-workout meal and it only takes 25 minutes to make," he says. You leave it on the side, let it cool down, wrap it up and leave it in the fridge. Then it's always there to munch on." Maybe the day (and weekend) after Thanksgiving won't be such a diet disaster after all.

Spice Up Healthy Cooking (Fast!) with Food Network's Robin Miller
Written on October 15, 2013 at 10:47 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
Healthy cooking becomes a chore when it involves extensive ingredient lists, advanced preparation and lengthy cooking times. Lucky for us, Food Network's Robin Miller has made it her mission to help us simplify the process so we can spend more time enjoying our food with the people we love most. Her latest book, Robin Takes 5 for Busy Families, offers a wide variety of 5-ingredient recipes for breakfast, lunch, snacks and gluten-free dishes that taste gourmet with little work required on your end. During a recent visit to New York City, Robin dished how she keeps every meal quick, healthy and delicious so pull up a seat and dig into this!
What inspired your career in educating others on how to make quick and healthy meals for themselves and their families?
My kids, to put it simply. Before kids, I had all morning or all afternoon to deglaze, caramelize, test recipes and play in the kitchen. After kids, I didn't have that amount of time, but I still wanted those flavors. It was my goal to create delicious meals that I can enjoy with my family in minimal time with minimal ingredients. I didn't want to sacrifice flavor, but I wanted to get to the table faster and then spend more time there.
What do you find to be the greatest challenge with quick and healthy cooking?
I can't start making dinner at 6 o'clock at night, chopping the onions and the mushrooms and the carrots, or deciding what to cook. So I like to plan ahead. I don't do a week's worth of meals on Saturday, but I'll say in the morning, "What can I do today that's going to make tonight easier?" And I find that that's other people's struggle, too, finding time in their head to prep ahead so that they can make meal time easier during the week. I like meal time to almost be assemble and serve, not start from scratch and wait.
Now that summer is over, how do you cope with the more limited selection of fresh fall and winter produce in your cooking?
I still feel like there are plenty of delicious produce items that are available throughout the fall and winter. We're getting into grapefruits and oranges and other really nutritious fruits. The acorn squash, butternut squash and spaghetti squash are phenomenal. They're loaded with nutrients and just scream fall. Also, frozen vegetables and fruits that don't have any sugar or butter added and they are quickly frozen at the peak of their ripeness, which is at the peak of their nutrient value. So you should never feel guilty about going down the frozen vegetable and fruit aisle and loading up on that stuff too. I have plenty in my freezer, because I like to add them to soups and stews. They have all the nutrients I would hope to get from a farmer's market or something I just got at the grocery store. They're so convenient—always there in your freezer and ready to go.

Iron Chef Michael Symon Teaches Us How to Bake Healthy Biscuits
Written on August 13, 2013 at 3:44 pm , by Samantha Shelton
When comfort food is calling your name – especially Southern comfort food – there isn't anything that fits the bill quite like a right-outta-the-oven homemade biscuit (paired with chicken and gravy, yes?). Unfortunately, those small circles of delicious can wreak havoc on your waistline in a big way, thanks to calorie-ridden ingredients like buttermilk and shortening. To keep our tastebuds and figures happy, we said yes to a fun night of healthy baking with Iron Chef Michael Symon and Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt. While we can't give you personal kitchen time with Symon, who's whole-hearted laugh and boisterous personality is super infectious, we can give you his slim-downed solution to your comfort food cravings. Whip up this fluffy biscuit recipe, and maybe tune in to Symon so he's practically there, too.
Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt Biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes and kept cold
- 1 cup Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt, plus more for brushing
- 1/4 cup milk
- Zest of 1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and lemon zest. Add cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and milk. Add to butter and flour mixture. Stir until dough comes together, then knead the rest of the way, being careful not to overwork it. The dough will be slightly sticky when finished.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and press out to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter or drinking glass, cut into rounds, pressing straight down and not twisting.
Lay biscuits onto a baking sheet and brush tops with extra Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Iron Chef Bobby Flay's Favorite Secret Ingredient
Written on October 1, 2012 at 11:07 am , by Karla Walsh
On Iron Chef, Bobby Flay has slayed the competition using ingredients as varied as buffalo, bananas and blue foot chicken. Clearly, this is one man who knows his way around the kitchen (or grill!). So what's this Food Network star's dream secret ingredient? "Greek yogurt. It's good for so much more than just eating straight topped with honey and berries," Flay says.
In fact, the tangy dairy item has made an appearance in several of his Iron Chef battles, including a grilled lamb dish with pomegranate and mint yogurt sauce that "takes 60 seconds to make." [Editor's note: Can we be on the tasting panel?]
Flay loves the versatility of Greek yogurt, using it as a meat marinade, substitute for heavy cream or creme fraiche as a soup-topper, and in dessert, of course. "Frozen yogurt is nothing new, so why not frozen Greek yogurt?" he suggests. "Think of it as a vanilla base and add berries, cinnamon or ricotta cheese."
Flay, who dreams of taking on Gordon Ramsay in Kitchen Stadium one day, has teamed up with Fage Total to host a recipe contest. They want to see your most innovative, flavorful Greek yogurt ideas. The winner will see her recipe featured on the menu at a special Plain Kitchen event (not to mention a trip to New York City to meet the chef himself)!
To get things rolling, Flay shared one of his favorite snack recipes that includes Greek yogurt: hummus with pita chips. Click below for the recipe, and find more at fageusa.com/plainkitchen.

Rescue Chef's Danny Boome Shares Kitchen-Conquering Tips
Written on February 8, 2012 at 12:08 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Brittany Vickers, editorial intern
Let's face it: we can't all be super chefs in the kitchen. And you know what? That's OK. If you need saving from all the scary stuff staring at you from your refrigerator, we found your kitchen hero. Danny Boome, host of the Food Network series Rescue Chef, surprises everyday chefs in distress with tips and tricks to survive (and enjoy!) cooking a nutritious meal.
"I tell everyone, don't be scared of the kitchen," says Boome. "If you feel comfortable in it, you can learn to use healthier or preferred ingredients in daily cooking, which gives you great control over your diet and will help you reach your goals."
Boome, like 50 million Americans (that's about 1 in 5), suffers from arthritis and had to alter his diet to keep up with his fast-paced career. "Being a chef is physically demanding, but I think we should all be a little more conscious about what we're eating. I've learned how to replace the foods that trigger my arthritis, like wine, chocolate, ham and cheese, with healthy alternatives that taste just as good," he says.
We sat down with this healthy chef to find out what quick tips you could utilize in the kitchen.
How can less-than-stellar cooks still whip up nutritious meals?
Approach everything with confidence and remember, it's not rocket science. You can whip up simple, healthy stuff pretty easily. A great place to start is my perfect omelet recipe on Arthriving.com because if you mess it up, you can turn it into scrambled eggs. Having an easy backup option is a great way to go. The key is to start with the basics, then gradually build up to more complicated recipes as you feel comfortable.
How do you add great flavor to healthy dishes?
I love things that add good, lean flavor. Ham is one of my arthritis triggers, so if I'm making an omelet for breakfast, I use turkey instead. It's a much leaner meat and it's still delicious.
Do you have any go-to ingredients that are always in your house?
Fresh ginger, garlic and onion are always on hand! These are major flavors that can (and should!) be incorporated into all meals.
What are your quick meal tips?
I love cooking what I call one-pan meals. Pick something that you can cook all in one pan, like a stir-fry. And remember, it's not cheating to go to the store and buy the pre-chopped stuff! It's a chopped pepper no matter who did the actually cutting. It's much easier, not to mention faster, to skip the prep work, throw everything into a pan and cook it. If you want to do a little bit of prep work yourself, don't be afraid of the food processor or other specialty tools like it. It can cut, chop or slice ingredients, so you're still seeing exactly what's being done, but it gets the job done much faster.

Hot Topic Tuesday: Paula Deen Has Diabetes…Now What?
Written on January 17, 2012 at 10:38 am , by Karla Walsh
Food Network chef Paula Deen sat down with Al Roker on the Today Show this morning to quiet the "does she or doesn't she" chatter related to her diabetes status. After an April 2010 tabloid story, rumors have circulated that the Southern cook, famous for her use of ample amounts of butter and Krispy Kreme donuts as hamburger buns, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. (There are many potential causes for type 2, but eating processed meats, like bacon, and watching more than two hours of TV per day may increase your risk.)
Today, Deen took to the airwaves to address the rumors—and confirm that three years ago she was, in fact, diagnosed with type 2. "I'm here today to let the world know that this is not a death sentence," she told Roker.
Deen decided to keep mum until now, she explained, because she didn't have a full explanation of her action plan moving forward and needed time to come to terms with the diagnosis. But after consulting with her doctor and Dr. Mehmet Oz, she launched "Diabetes in a New Light" to support others with type 2, in conjunction with pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. Personally, Deen has also given up sweet tea and started walking on a treadmill, according to USA Today, but will not plan to drastically alter the types of dishes she shares on her show. ("I have always eaten in moderation," she explained. "It's for entertainment.") However, her son Bobby recently launched Not My Mama's Meals on Cooking Channel, during which he tries to lighten up Paula's recipes and cut the calories and fat without cutting taste.

Now tell us: Do you think that Deen should change the types of recipes she shares on her show Paula's Best Dishes to reflect her new health focus? Or is it the responsibility of the viewer to realize that these meals are "treats?"

Hungry Girl's Resolution-Ready Tricks and Food Picks
Written on January 5, 2012 at 12:28 pm , by Karla Walsh
Like your friendly (and oh-so-food-savvy) neighbor, Lisa Lillian, aka Hungry Girl, doles out light eating advice every weekday in her online newsletters. They have garnered such a large fan base—to the tune of one million people—that Lillien now hosts her own cooking show, which appears on Food Network and the Cooking Channel! She "isn't a nutritionist, she's just hungry," her tagline explains. So while you should always consult your doctor or dietitian before starting a diet to find your ideal calorie consumption level and to discuss the best ways for you to personally lose weight, sources like Hungry Girl (and FITNESS!) can provide fun recipe ideas and motivation to stick with your get-healthy goals.
We spoke with Lillien to learn more about her tricks to stay on track—and for more than the first few weeks of the year!
What is your New Year's resolution?
You caught me on a good year. Usually I don't believe in resolutions, but this year I actually made one to drink a lot more water. I've been traveling so much lately and stopped drinking the 12 to 14 glasses I had been drinking for so long. I'm back on the water bandwagon! I try to carry around a bottle, and I keep it at room temperature. If the water's too cold, I can't drink a lot.
What are you eating more or less of today than you were ten years ago?
My food tastes have changed a little bit. I eat a lot of protein now. In 2001, I was eating more starches, like sandwiches. Starchy carbs are my "trigger foods," or foods that make me overeat, so I've replaced them with more protein options. That helps keep me on track. I love Tyson Grilled & Ready chicken, which comes frozen or refrigerated. I use them as snacks and in entrees—in salads, paired with spaghetti squash or mixed in a stir-fry.
You've been a big advocate for tofu Shirataki noodles. What's the next item we should be stocking in our kitchen for a nutritious meal?
Shirataki noodles are magical! Since I'm such a pasta maniac, I also like spaghetti squash because it really acts like pasta. You can make a great marinara dish with spaghetti squash, mushrooms, Italian seasoning and a little garlic. It's great stuff!
Are there any recipes that you've yet to find a guilt-free swap for that you'd love to?
The biggest challenge for a long time was creme brulee, but I think we've mastered that. [Find Lisa's 104-calorie recipe here.] Cheesecake was also a struggle, but there are a lot of Hungry Girl cheesecake options. It's hard to stump me!

Because of her career, she is inundated with on-the-house samples at restaurants. She also travels frequently to tape the Cooking Channel show Unique Eats. So FITNESS stepped in with a team of experts who worked with Freitag and passed along the ingredients for a healthy, balanced lifestyle while keeping up with her fun job requirements. Pick up the magazine, on newsstands now, for all of the details!
Since Freitag is a culinary pro, we couldn't let this opportunity pass without stealing a few kitchen secrets. It turns out, she was inspired by this project to create many new, diet-friendly recipes that are perfect for your healthy eating resolutions. Why wait until January 1 to start?
Here are two of her favorites that are sure to amaze your tasting panel!
Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken with Jamaican Spice
Serves 4
Chef Freitag says: "I really prefer the dark meat of the chicken, so while trying to trim down, I eat the thighs, but want my small portion to have incredible flavor and texture. This is a soul satisfying meal that also tastes great as a leftover!"
- 4-6 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
- 1 cup instant polenta or finely ground cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon coriander seed, ground
- pinch cayenne
- salt to taste
- 2 baked sweet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked kale
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a shallow baking dish combine the cornmeal and the spices thoroughly.
- Season the chicken legs with salt if desired.
- Place the thighs into the cornmeal mix skin side down and then flip over to coat the other side.
- Place the crusted thighs into another shallow baking dish skin side up and place in the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes turn the oven down to 350 degrees and cook for 15 more minutes or until juice of the chicken run clear when poked with a fork.
- Serve the thighs with a baked sweet potato and kale.

In the Kitchen with Food Network's Claire Robinson
Written on August 10, 2011 at 3:04 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Lauren Cardarelli, editorial intern
With a hint of Southern twang and a whole lot of the hospitality, the host of Food Network's 5 Ingredient Fix, Claire Robinson, demonstrates that time in the kitchen doesn't have to be a chore. By simplifying recipes down to just a few, fresh ingredients (yep, you guessed it: five!), Claire makes preparing a delicious meal easier than ever.
"Turn over your packages! Know what you're putting in your body," advised the charismatic food enthusiast and adventure sport extraordinaire as she whipped up French Toast with Strawberries and Cream (keep reading for the recipe). "If you can't pronounce what's on the back, most likely it's not good for you."
After the cooking demonstration at the Coffee-mate Natural Bliss event last week, we sat down with Claire and asked her about her workout regimen, kitchen pantry staples and a whole lot more! Here's what we learned:
- Coffee pairs great with red meats and chocolate. Claire loves using espresso powder or a strong coffee to bring out the flavors in her savory desserts and beef dishes. Try this technique yourself with this unique dry-rubbed beef brisket recipe.
- Swap your extra virgin for plain olive oil when cooking. You lose the flavoring of the extra virgin olive oil's raw form when cooking with it over heat. Save some extra cash by buying the cheaper, regular olive oil for cooking purposes and keep the good stuff for drizzling over your meal before serving.<

As is this recipe falls flat but I always use the recipes as a guide adn adjust them to suit my own preferences and use of ricotta cheese or full fat cottage cheese and cream cheese do give fluffy and tasty results everyone missed. You can skimp on the serving size but studies have shown consumption of fat in the dairy products is better for you. I skip the corn startch in making all curds and never have found it necessary to have thick rich fruit curds. Cut those startch calories and use the approach to tailor any recipe to what you and your family like.

NEW POST: NYFW Day 1
New York Fashion Week (henceforth referred to as NYFW) is a fun, thrilling, beyond exhausting experience. My days are typically 12+ hours, running all over the city, and typically not eating. It's a quasi-joke in the fashion industry about people not eating, but during fashion week most people live off of Starbucks and adrenaline. (And maybe, if you're lucky, one of the events will actually have teeny tiny passed hors d'oeuvres you can munch).
One of the biggest mistakes I made in the past was not wearing comfortable shoes. Since I don't live directly in NYC, and I'm not super rich, I cannot survive in cab-to-curb shoes. Thankfully, I snatched up these Dolce Vita booties right before NYFW started, and practically lived in them during the week.
The coat was a gift from Simply Be (thanks!) and was in rotation with another Simply Be coat (will show up in a future post). The jeans are one of the best pair of jeans I've ever worn- and they're from ASOS! They hug my curves perfectly and so far (even though they're stretchy) they haven't stretched out!
I will be posting some of my favorite pictures from my favorite shows I attended (once I narrow them down that is!), and there will be more outfit posts to come as well!
Coat: Simply Be
Jeans: ASOS Curve
Shirt: Old Navy
Boots: Dolce Vita
Hat: NJ Turnpike Rest Stop
Necklace: nOir
Sunglasses: Ray Ban
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
It's New York Fashion Week!
Well, technically NYFW doesn't start until Thursday, but over the last few seasons I've had more and more shows beginning on Wednesday! So I will be sorta off the grid for about a week, but you can follow my fashion week updates on Twitter or Instagram (thelizblack). I will be conducting a lot of interviews, posting runway shots, party photos and more!
Here are a few examples of highlights from previous seasons.
Interviewing Carolina Herrera. (She told me she loved my hair & then invited me to her show!)
Watching Cyndi Lauper sing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" at the Betsey Johnson retrospective/birthday party.
Watching Betsey & Cyndi take a bow after the retrospective. (And what we thought at the time was Betsey's last show.)
Having fun at the Charlotte Ronson party last season.
Chilling with my blogger girls, Margie & Gabi!
Interviewing Johnny Weir after he skated during a show.
(And oh, so much more! So tune in here, instagram or twitter to see what's happening during Fashion Week!)
(We interrupt your normal plus-size style coverage to bring you a short insight into New York Fashion Week, fall 2013).
Fashion people say the darndest things, don't they? I was fortunate enough to cover New York Fashion Week this season for the amazing, fashion-forward website, I Like What You're Wearing. While running around Lincoln Center, Milk Studios, the Piers, and countless other venues, I couldn't help but put together a list of some of the most fashion-y things I overheard.
You can see the original, as well as other articles, here.

Spotted During NYFW
It was disgustingly hot & humid during the first half of NYFW, so finding a light & airy outfit was key to fashion survival. I wore a similar outfit before (different, shirt, bag & shoes) but I felt it was perfect to break out in the heat of Fashion Week. And apparently others liked it as well; I was snapped by several different photogs that day. Here is just one of many to come.
Shirt: Old Navy (Size XXL)
Skirt: ASOS (Size 14)
Sandals: DV (Size 9)
Bag: Urban Outfitters
New York Fashion Week
NYFW starts this week! Technically it starts on Thursday, but my Fashion Week will be starting on Wednesday, with 7 shows, a film premiere, and the Style Awards!
I will be updating my blog frequently with pictures from shows & events, reviews from the shows, backstage footage, and whatever else comes my way that is worth sharing with you all! Keep checking back for updates!
I will also be uploading all of my NYFW images to my flickr account, so while you'll only see the best of the best on the blog, you can catch up with everything on flickr!
Some of my favorite past NYFW moments:
The actually real wedding at Imitation of Christ
My first experience with Katie Gallagher
My first Betsey Johnson show (right after McQueen passed)
Seeing the androgynous model Andrej Pejic modeling a collection my friend Lauren Rae Levy styled
Watching Zoe Kravitz do a 1920s style dance during the Erickson Beamon ready-to-wear & jewelery presentation
Being at the Betsey Johnson afterparty
The clothes (and shoes) (and presentation) at Sally LaPointe
My first experience with The Blonds
…I could go on forever…

While I adore my super long red hair, my scraggly strands were begging for a freshening up. (Who am I kidding? I was desperately overdue for a hair cut.)
Because of my infrequency of hair cuts I felt that it was time to treat myself & no old Super Cuts would do! So, on a recommendation from a friend I scheduled a session with the by-appointment-only Amalia Moscoso.
Being the steamiest day of summer (thus far), it was so refreshing to stroll into the beautifully colorful boutique salon. A hidden gem, Amalia's salon is tucked away in an office building at the apex of one of the busiest intersections in Soho.
Amalia was sweetly knowledgeable, informing and not lecturing, regarding color care, hair hydration and other valuable hair tips. I explained what I was looking for, and she set right to work, snipping & slicing, a shower of red feathers flying everywhere.
The results? One of the best hair cuts I've had in years. My hair feels extremely healthy (despite the bleaching & dying), has better body and movement to it, and is slightly shorter for summer.
If you're in NYC and in need of a hair cut, blow out, color or extensions, get thee to Amalia.

While the possibility has been floated about that Thierry Henry could be returning to Arsenal, news has come out that Arsenal have finally offered him a two-month loan deal. And while many people have debated whether the move would be worthwhile or not, this observer just has one question? What exactly is the downside? There is no transfer fee, the move is short term, and with Gervinho and Chamakh gone for just a month for the African Cup of Nations a long term knee-jerk reaction transfer signing may not be the best idea. Henry is pure Gunner royalty and presence in the squad will at the very galvanize the Emirates during a period that has not been the greatest of times for Arsenal.
There are concerns that it will undermine some players in the squad, and perhaps stunt the growth of those who may be on the periphery of the first team, but having Henry in the squad does not have to equate to, let's say, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain not getting opportunities, for example. Henry would simply provide another option for Arsene Wenger, albeit a legendary one, and if worst comes to worst, the man would be off to New York by March anyway. The move is low-risk, it would be great theater for the neutrals, and for gooners, well you can just check the Arsenal tag to see how ecstatic they'd be. All in all, having Henry back in North London would be great move a move for Arsenal. Plain and simple.
What do you think about Henry's potential return?

This was excellent! I followed the recipe as stated and ended up with a bit leftover lemon curd. I also didn't make the candied lemon slices, but sprinkled chopped pistachio on top. Very very good. It's tart but not bitter. We loved it.

Yield: Makes 10 to 12 servings
More From Southern Living
Recipe Time
Hands On:
40 Minutes
Total: 22 Hours, 45 Minutes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 to 2 Tbsp. ice-cold water
- 4 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups Quick and Easy Lemon Curd, divided
- Candied Lemon Slices (optional)
- 1. Pulse first 3 ingredients in a food processor 3 or 4 times or just until blended. Add butter, and pulse 5 or 6 times or until crumbly. Whisk together egg yolks and 1 Tbsp. ice-cold water in a small bowl; add to butter mixture, and process until dough forms a ball and pulls away from sides of bowl, adding up to 1 Tbsp. remaining ice-cold water, 1 tsp. at a time, if necessary. Shape dough into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 4 to 24 hours.
- 2. Roll dough into a 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a lightly greased 9-inch dark springform pan, gently pressing on bottom and up sides of pan; trim and discard excess dough. Chill 30 minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°. Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer 3 minutes or until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
- 4. Pour two-thirds of cheesecake batter (about 4 cups) into prepared crust; dollop 1 cup lemon curd over batter in pan, and gently swirl with a knife. Spoon remaining batter into pan.
- 5. Bake at 325° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or just until center is set. Turn oven off. Let cheesecake stand in oven, with door closed, 15 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven, and gently run a knife around outer edge of cheesecake to loosen from sides of pan. (Do not remove sides of pan.) Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Cover and chill 8 to 24 hours.
- 6. Remove sides of pan, and transfer cheesecake to a serving platter. Spoon remaining 1 cup lemon curd over cheesecake, and, if desired, top with Candied Lemon Slices.

Breaking: New Elvis Perkins album due out March 10
Elvis Perkins made one of the best albums of 2007, and one of the most memorable debuts in recent memory. Ash Wednesday — with its bohemian symbolism, ramshackle folk rock and a busker's vocal and harmonical quicksilver — still sounds fresh, accomplished and original. The New Yorker is set to release his second album, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, this spring on XL Recordings. You can stream three songs from the forthcoming album here. He's picking right up where he left off — and that's very much all right by me.

Mobile gaming is legit destroying gaming. Its like a cancer.
Huge fan of the Sonic series but I will not be supporting Sonic Boom. It just feels like its just this huge cash in because the current product isn't selling as well as they wish for Sega of America. Looking forward to the PS4 and Xbox One release in the future, hope they figure out where they want the series to go. I just hope the bandages and the new knuckles design are not apart of that future.
Random thought, Rage or Emi should have been in Wreck it Ralph representin DDR, not that other girl, just saying.

I miss the days of seeing Skoal bandit, Coors, and Motorcraft on cars that somewhat resemble a car that I drive on the street. There might be nothing stock about the 2006 NASCAR stock car, but it sure looked a hell of a lot better than the COT.
What if they changed the championship to feature 10 playoff or "chase" drivers with 5 races to go, then after each of the last 5 races eliminate the lowest 2 finishers, and reset the remaining "chasers". eventually when you got to Homestead you would guarantee to have 2 drivers eligible for the championship, both going into the final race dead even in points.
This would resemble elimination style playoff's like stick and ball sports. I think that would be the only way to almost guarantee the championship would go down to the last lap of the last race.
Take this scenario for example…In the NFL a team could go undeafeated all season long. This would dub them the "favorite" for the championship. But if they get to any level of the playoffs and have just one bad game, they don't win the championship that year.
If this was the case last year, Jimmie Johnson would have been eliminated at Texas. Thus would have made up for a much more exciting Phoenix and Homestead race.
I would make the final 5 races as follows…Loudon, Charlotte, Bristol, Talladega, Homestead.

Don't get too excited about those NASCAR changes just yet: PART III- Leadership
By admin | January 27, 2010
By Richard Allen
In recent days the suddenly new and improved, fan-friendly NASCAR has announced that they are replacing the rear wing of the Car of Tomorrow with a blade spoiler, they are doing away with the no bump-drafting rule on restrictor plate tracks and they are going to let the drivers show some personality.
These changes come along with the previously announced plans to fix the start times of races at an earlier and more consistent hour.
While these changes are noteworthy for an organization not known for admitting its mistakes, there is still much to be done.
During the recent Sprint Media Tour, NASCAR announced that John Darby was to be replaced as the Sprint Cup Series director. Darby, who has held that title since 2002, will assume a new position which will allow him to oversee the directors of each of NASCAR's top divisions.
Make no mistake, this is no real change at all. The power triumvirate of Brian France, Mike Helton and John Darby are still firmly in place in Daytona Beach. These three men have led NASCAR through a time when the sport reached a brief peak of popularity which was almost immediately followed by a precipitous fall from the heights.
After signing a new television contract which took effect in 2001 the majority of NASCAR races were shown on major network television. Due to that increased exposure stock car racing rose to new heights in terms of attendance and television ratings. However, those increases proved to be short lived.
The problem was, NASCAR's leadership misread the signs there were receiving. While the vast majority of these new attendees and viewers were simply checking the sport out, NASCAR believed they had unlocked an entirely new fan base. The leadership of the sport was so convinced they had struck national gold that they began the process of abandoning the sport's traditional roots in places such as Rockingham and Darlington in favor of adding dates in California and other locales.
When those new viewers suddenly realized they were stick and ball fans first and foremost they abandoned racing. NASCAR had been cool for a while but when the cool wore off they moved on to cage fighting, televised poker or whatever the next trendy sport happened to be.
With that, NASCAR was left with empty seats and lowered television ratings. The new fans moved on and the old fans resented the abandonment.
Not only did NASCAR's leadership misread the sport's popularity and remove it from its roots, they also fell under the spell of believing they could tamper with the most sacred of racing's traditions and get away with it.
A new car was introduced under the guise of safety which removed all brand identity from the manufacturers. Longstanding rivalries which had served as heart and soul type material in racing for decades vanished in an instant. The new car has proven difficult to get a handle on for drivers and crews and has failed to produce exciting competition.
Besides the new car, NASCAR's leadership decided they would create a new points system for their new fans. The system, they thought, would assure a close finish in the final standings every year, and thus, hold the attention of their new darlings. Instead, the system has caused drivers to ride around and collect points rather than risk hard racing for wins. The ultimate result has been lap after lap of follow the leader parades.
NASCAR's announcement of a change at the top of the Sprint Cup division means little. The real power lies in the same place it has for the better part of the past decade, the same triumvirate that lead the sport to new heights only to misread the signs they were given and bring it down to new lows.

Rich, I feel like you have been listening to me talk about all the things that have changed and why I've become so disenchanted with the sport. Misread the signs is right.
The current leadership is a bunch of buffoons and the fact that even now with "changes" galore, BZF will still get up there and Helton too and say that things are wonderful. Really? Obviously the fans don't think so and they are going to have a long road to get the "old" fans that they weren't interested in any more to come back. I'm guessing that this is a bread and circuses ploy, the whole thing with taking off the bump drafting rules — after all, the theory seems to be that if there are more wrecks, more people will watch. Except that I want to see competitive racing, passing and especially passing for the lead, NOT more wrecks.
IROC car, stupid way to determine who gets the trophy, cookie cutter tracks and abandoning the tracks that were different so that they provided a challenge to the drivers were all screw ups.
Don't worry, Danica and Dale Jr will save us! Ha!

I actually disagree with your premise here a bit Rich. It's just my opinion, but I don't think NASCAR lost the casual fan so much as they lost the hardcore, dedicated fan because they kept dumping on them to reach the casual fan. Before the egress from Rockingham and other southeast classic tracks, the core base probably did its best to turn peoiple on to NASCAR…which was partly how its ratings grew so much. Once NASCAR disrespected the grass roots, they stopped the word of mouth.

I give you lots of credit for writing these articles. You have done a good job.
From the beggining when old bz took over from his Dad he made changes so that he and his cohorts could line their pockets with lots of the hard working paying fans's money, took sponsors away from teams, only one main sponsor for each business type. Than we get the chase, than this wonderful car, the pos cot.Than rules, more rules that are written in pencil, changed each week, and now all these so called changes, because their wallets are getting thin because people don't like this so called thing…racing as it is now. So fans stay home…Well we'll fix this, old bz said…so now there is the spoiler comming back, relaxed rules to make racing ..racing again. But….also …remember when the drivers told them of their wants…nascrap also said that the drivers can't say anything bad abpot racing to the media…they now have to run to Mike Helton with their grievences….cuz if they don't…I bet that nascrap comes down hard on them for saying the truth to the media….Just say I read in a article the other day, Dale Jr won't say anything to the press that makes nascrap look bad, he has to go to Mike Helton.
You are right,[ some of the nascar leaders need to go get a job in a sweat factory insead of] their lucritive positions that they hold. New leaders are needed for the old ones just care for the money that lines their pockets.
Oh yes, they now know what drugs are a no no. Thank Jeremy Mayfield who was put in the nascrap poster boy position losing his good name, reputation, for being charged of something he didn't do.I bet lots of the fans hard earned money went into making sure that things stay in that line of thinking.
I don't think racing will really change that much for the better this year or ever, as long as the leadership stays the same. If it stays this way…pretty soon nascrap will be a thing of the past….A total change is what's needed.
Thank You Rich for letting us tell our feelings about this.

As a NASCAR fan since The King drove hemi's, NASCAR is not perfect and never was, but the glass is still far more than half full - and I know several drivers who would dispute that inane "guise of safety" comment.
Richard Allen Says:
January 28th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Richard in NC,
What makes the CoT safer is the fact that it is wider and taller than the previous car. Don't mistake that to mean I liked the twisted wreck that was the old car.
That said, however, a car of any body shape could have been made higher and wider without creating the CoT. The safety thing may have been their original intent after Earnhardt's death but it evolved into what it evolved into because NASCAR has hired tech inspectors not qualified to account for anything 'outside the book' so they had to make everything as simple and uniform as possible. The tech inspector thing opens a whole new set of issues revolving around being politically correct, which has come back to bite them with a lawsuit.
There is no reason other than that they wanted a car easy to measure that they made the CoT exactly the same for every manufacturer. They had an opportunity to create something that could have been popular but they decided to make it easy and also a money maker for themselves.

I don't think I want to go down that politically correct road and I don't see how the COT has been a money maker for NASCAR. The front end configuration has not worked out and the box the COT is in seems to be too tight, but the small teams are saying it is saving them money at a time when sponsorship is in short supply - and the COT sure has reduced the constant whining about manufacturer advantages that accompanied the twisted sister.
As to the moving of races, more than NASCAR and ISC were involved, but no one in the media criticizes Darth Bruton or ESPN.

There are numerous parts on the CoT that must be purchased from NASCAR and each time the car is taken for certification the team has to pay a fee for the certification.
Guess what, NASCAR does not sell those parts at wholesale prices. Kyle Busch said last year that even if a car is only slightly damaged in a wreck the team is better off to just build a new one because taking it to the R&D center for recertification after having a new front or rear clip put on is cost prohibitive.

Well Lydia…Seeing as I made my post on this article a day before someone else posted the same thing on the PART II article, I guess you could possibly say that my post was original?? Anyone want a lesson in chronology!?
Richard in N.C. Says:

Well Kyle B's statement is highly illogical since the "new one" would also have to be certified.

Sfaxien claim third Confed Cup title
Sfaxien annexed the title 3-2 on aggregate thanks to a 2-0 win from the final first leg last week in Rades. The Tunisian outfit this confirmed their status as the most successful in the second-tier continental club championship after successes in 2007 and 2008.
Mazembe led by two goals at half time with strikes from Cheibane Traore and Mbwana Samatta before pacy winger Fakheridine Ben Youssef scored in the dying embers to take game beyond the hosts.
The Congolese got off to a perfect start but paid the price for their failure to bury the several chances that came their way.
It took just 10 minutes to break the deadlock as Traore tapped in a rebound after Sfaxien goalie Rami Jeridi had spilled Given Singuluma's shot unto his path.
Mazembe coach, Patrice Carteron handed starting roles to Ghanaian duo, Yaw Frimpong and Solomon Asante and they made their presence felt with surging runs upfront. Asante in particular remained a constant threat to the Sfaxien backline, and was often fouled by his markers.
On 20 minutes, captain Tresor Mputu set up Traore to double the lead but the Malian blasted wide from close range.
Three minutes later, Samatta scored the second goal from a three-man move with Asante and Mputu as the actors. Mputu fetched Asante, who lobbed for the Tanzanian to blast past Jeridi to set the stadium into ecstasy.
At that point, Mazembe needed a third to kill it and they pressed their opponents further. Sfaxien resorted to long balls relying on the pace of Fakheridine, who was a danger to the Mazambe defence anytime he moved upfront. Their first attempt at goal was on 25 minutes but Fakheridine headed wide from Didier Lebri's cross.
Two minutes before half time, Jeridi was to his side's rescue with a pointblank save from a Traore shot after Mputu had put him through.
Mazembe resumed strongly with Asante tormenting the Sfaxien defence, but lacked the cutting edge upfront. On 55 minutes, Asante weaved his way past his marker and squared Mputu, but the latter volleyed wide. Carteron then varied his tactics with Rainford Kalaba and Boubacar Diarra replacing Siguluma and Samatta.
On 72 minutes, the homers were dealt a major after Asante pulled out after an injury and his replacement Thomas Ulimwengu, announced his presence with a thunderbolt that was spilled out by Jeridi minutes later.
Sfaxien also had their turn with Gabon-import Didier Ibrahim Ndong and Ferdjani Sassi fouling the attacks of the Congolese.
Ten minutes from time, Mazembe kept the visitors defence boiling but Sfaxien survived after Maman Issoufou headed out an Mputu header from a goalmouth action.
Sfaxien returned it in style and in the 88th minute, Fakhreddine stunned the home crowd with a header that beat goalkeeper Muteba Kidiaba for the first and only time in the game. A throw-in effected by Issoufou was flicked by Ferdjani to Fakhreddine, who headed in to make matters worse for Mazembe.
The goal meant Mazembe had to score two more goals to turn the tide their favour but the Tunisians defended gallantly and cruised to victory.
Sfaxien are 660,000 US Dollars richer by the feat and will face Al-Ahly of Egypt in next year's Orange CAF Super Cup.

Robin Williams dies eluded by the happiness he gave to so many others.
Very sad news today has told of the death by suicide of actor and comedian Robin Williams. So many words will be written and spoken over the coming days and weeks of a man who, it sadly seems, could make so many people laugh while being so deeply filled with despair himself. It is the old story; the tears behind the mask of the eternal clown.
He often spoke about his battle with depression and substance abuse but despite his brutal honesty about his demons, only he knew about and lived with the utter turmoil that lay inside and it obviously reached the point where it became unbearable to cope with. How deeply sad and felt his loss is but we can all only hope that he has found the peace that eluded him for so long. He leaves his family with with a grief so hard to bear, he leaves his fans around the world with memories of a comic and acting genius. What a terrible tragedy that the laughter he gave us came at such a price for him.
The best tribute to him is to remember him with a smile and, hopefully, a better understanding of depression and mental illness.Copyright © 2007-2014 Cultured Views. All rights reserved.

Week 41
- By Petra
- 9 December, 2013
- 4 Comments
Hi. Wondering what's happening to all my Project Life posts while I am busy posting December Daily? Well never fear they are still marching along. Perhaps not as quickly as usual but going. I am finally around to posting week 41 here.
Still progressing with the Jade Core Kit this week I picked out these blue and white cards. I call them "air mail" cards because they sort of have the look of the old air mail envelopes. I found out at the post office the other day that all letters go only air mail these days so the markings are surperfluous. How about that? But I digress, let's get on with it.
This week is really "bitsy" I used small red alphas to give the pictures some titles. I used some stickers I had about the place and the usual combination of my hybrid style.
This is the right hand side. More of the same really. Just bits and pieces from our week. I included this little bi-fold card and inside is a little letter from Calvin's Grandpa who lives interstate and always types up his letters and notes to the kids. Thought it would be cute to keep this one.
This is the inside of the card. Underneath in the album is the actual printed picture he sent Calvin of where the bookmark now lives.
This is one of my favourite parts of this weeks layout. I used an Instagram photo! Yay! (very rare for me)
And this is the complete layout as it sits in my album.
I'd love for you to leave me a comment, ask if you have any questions or just drop a line say hi.
Thanks For Dropping In

Hi Petra. Gosh your work is beautiful but I'm sorry I'm going to have to stop checking out your blog because every time I do, and go back and look at my pages, I want to change my style (if that's possible).
oh petra I love your journaling. xxxx beautiful week as always xxxx

Rumor Round-up: Canon, Nikon, Leica, Sony, Pentax
With Photokina just around the corner, the rumoralia world is continuing to buzz with what may or may not happen next week!
We start with Camera Rumors where there is talk of a potentially big Nikon announcement on September 18. Nikon did after all take an ad in Rangefinder magazine promising something big to be shown at the big Wedding show in early 2009. Talk about Nikon trying to muddy the waters there, RF and weddings!
This more new-sy than rumoralia, a veteran dpreview forum user dig(g)s the financial reports and notices that Hoya plans to accelerate the roll out of Pentax DSLRs. So will we get more than just the expected K2000D this time around, or at least some sort of a development notice?
The MX lenses are not dead in the rumor world! Nikon Rumors has a new update.
Is there a new 100-400 lens coming? Check the discussion at Canon Rumors.
Is Leica not done yet? Leica Rumors points us to a German website where they talk of a Leica project code-named "AFRika". A safari trip or something else?
And speaking of Leica, the Insider points us to a WSJ article on the Leica transition.
Photography Bay summarizes the sentiment of many people anxiously waiting for the new Canon full frame DSLR: Teaser getitng tired.
Is the new A700 firmware update the only new thing from Sony coming up or is there more? Dozens of Sonoltalphans speculate and opine.
If you missed our post from yesterday, Nikon super-guru Thom Hogan posted his thoughts and predictions/speculations on Photokina and beyond.
The last time a manufacturer tried a similar campaign, it didn't turn out very well. Remember the Nikon Coolpix SQ teaser campaign by Nikon? For reference, here is the Coolpix SQ.
And speaking of Photokina, Digital Camera Review has just launched their Photokina 2008 coverage. But wait, there's more! Imaging Resource has gone live with their Photokina coverage.
