I've been with my partner for over 17 yrs. He has been carrying on an EA for a really long time, probably years and I haven't done anything about it. I have at least 4 years of texts between him and her. In all this time, she has NEVER said anything sexual to him. He will say things to her. For example on Mother's Day he said "Happy Mother's Day to the Sexiest Mom I know" and of course he didn't say anything to me. Her oldest son and our son used to be absolute best friends
but they no longer are speaking, so why is she even in our lives anymore? I know the answer but...
Recently my partner completely threw me "under the bus" with his family and I'm very angry with him.. I planned a much needed weekend vacation for him and myself. To be honest, it was more for me. For the last 5 years its been very difficult with children issues, working long hours and just everyday stress and I wanted to go away so badly. I saved for months for us to go away and when I had everything arranged my partner was really excited and we talked about it endlessly for a few days. His mother expressed concern that we couldn't go and it was a bad idea and she was pissed off at me because we couldn't really afford to go. My partner completely changed his mind and told his mom it was all my fault and I shouldn't have made the plans. I lost all happiness about going and cancelled everything. I wouldn't speak to him for a few days because I was so hurt that he would throw me under the bus with his mother. Of course he kept OW hourly updated on what was going on between him and I. I can't believe how 2 faced he is.
We have planned a camping trip this year and last year when OW's son and our son were speaking we all went camping. I was never so happy to come home after that. That's all OW did was yell at her kids for the 2 days that they were there. I was so tired of just hearing her voice. So now, she told me on Facebook that she couldn't wait until we went camping again. I guess she figures that even though our sons are not friends anymore that she would still come camping with us again this year. And of course my partner doesn't see anything wrong with this. It just makes her closer to him. My mom said that I should just go and ignore her.
Things need to change. My head is starting to come out of the sand a bit and I have no clue what to do but I'm so tired of living like this.
He does go to her house while I am at work, everything is behind my back but she will be ever so sweet to me when she sees me.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
your H is having an inappropriate relationship with this woman. whether it be a physical affair or disrespectful to you and your marriage. nothing you didn't already know, right?
I would let him know that you do not want her to be a part of either of your lives anymore, that the way he communicated with her is inappropriate and hurtful to you, and he has a choice... he can keep her as a "friend" or you as a wife. his reaction will be very telling.
also, I would go into stealth investigating mode.
married men do not have friends that aren't friends of the marriage. married men do not go behind their wives backs to visit female friends while their wives are at work. married men do not send "sexiest mom" texts to anyone other than their wives.
he will continue this behavior until you confront him and let him know what the consequences are if he does.
be prepared. practice what you'll say and how you'll respond to his reactions. have proof. hae a support system (SI is a great one!). have a plan. be ready for denial, blameshifting, gaslighting and more denial.
keep reading, keep posting. you'll find a great advice and support here
You have to do something though. Its no way to live. Also, all the behind your back stuff...Im not saying there is something physical, but be prepared for it. Thats my advise I guess, Im sure others will come along and give you other great tips but in a nutshell: Educate yourself on yourself and dealing with affairs (emotional hurts just as bad, so dont discount it and dont let him), know what your needs and wants are going to be to heal from this and move forward and be prepared for any possible reaction from him. Maybe you will be met with love and understanding and he will feel bad, but he has to know deep down he is very wrong with what he has done to you, so he may just become very angry with you.
Best of luck and remember, you deserve love and you deserve a partner in marriage.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!
I'm very confused what to do about the camping trip we are taking. He and I go camping by ourselves while the kids go camping at the local kids camp ground. I look forward to this all year, I love camping. Last year, OW brought her son to camp with our son. But since the older boys do not talk anymore, why does she thinks she needs to come camping with us? My mom says to go and not say a word until all summer actitivies are done and kids are back to school. At this point I'm angry and I don't know if I can keep that in check with her 5 feet away from me for a weekend.

You are in a bad place. It will get worse if you cannot find a way to set boundaries.
It seems that your immediate problem is the camping trip. Can you not find your voice to say-No fucking way is she coming with us! Will that cause WW3 with your WP? Will he call off the trip? Will he ignore you completely and invite her along? Why can't you just put your foot down?
As for your mother--what is her problem? I would be telling my daughter to run like the wind.
Hopefully, you will stop listening to outsiders and concentrate on what you can do to make your life livable again. Do yourself a favor--go to the Healing Library and read about the 180. It works with Wayward Partners and crazy moms/in laws.
Once you get past this immediate crisis, I hope you will take a good, hard look at your life and start to live authentically.
Keep posting, and good luck.
Last year when she went camping my partner did not tell me she was coming with her children. I obviously knew about it beforehand because of their texts.
This year she Facebooked me and said that she couldn't wait to go camping again with us. I asked him how did she know and he said she must have guessed we were going again and that he couldn't tell her she couldn't go because its a public place.
As for my mom, I think she wants me to try and enjoy my holidays and then make decisions when it's all done. She wants me to leave him because of all of this. She is very supportive.
And he does have a very explosive temper. I know if I put up a fuss he will get mad. I've gotten into a bad place where I shut up and not say anything to keep him quiet. He is very much like a 15yr old in a 44 yr old man ... He has worn me down and I can't do it anymore.
There is a good book by Dr Shirley Glass called Not Just Friends, it might be good for you to read.
Are you sure this is not a PA as well?
EA often do go that way over after time.
I wouldn't be going camping with her and I would NOT be ok with my partner going without me.
Another concern... Both her and him have been very nasty and vindictive toward others in the past. Even his mother is like that. This last blow up had his mother telling him to kick me out and the OW texting him every 20 minutes to see what was going on with our situation.
[This message edited by iammine at 9:42 PM, June 8th (Saturday)]
Your WH is in an EA and possibly a PA, but either way the damage done in the end is the same and the same actions are required to stop it.
My husband had an EA with an old "friend" and it came within a hair's width of killing our marriage. I get where you are coming from with this. Dealing with an EA really does a number on your head because a lot people don't see how crippling it is.
Follow the 180. Lay down your boundaries and stick to them.
He has to end this A and cut off all contact with her. Any lingering "friendship" will only allow the fantasy and the cheap squishy feelings to continue. It will choke off your marriage until there's nothing left.
Below are some links to threads that were very helpful to me, along with some newer ones that I think you could benefit from.
When you are ready to confront him, have a clear game plan formed. Know exactly what you expect him to do if you want to work through this with him and don't negotiate. Boundaries are key.
I'm so sorry.

What everyone has said is excellent advice. At the very least, read the Shirley Glass book.
One time he asked her if she liked when he talked to her like that. She said she lets him talk that to her to keep him "clean" for ME!
Without knowing all the details of the situation-this leads me to think that maybe their relationship is PA instead of just EA.
Be prepared for the worst-and what Fighting said is crucial:
Know exactly what you expect him to do if you want to work through this with him and don't negotiate. Boundaries are key.
You need to get this OW out of your life one way or another. I agree you need to do a 180.
My heart goes out to you as my husband had an EA and I'm preaty sure that he's had a PA as well.
Take care,
If she objects, they are either in a PA or else in an EA and she wants it to become a PA. If he objects, they are either in a PA or else in an EA and he wants it to become a PA.
As for him going to her house while you are at work -- I'm sorry to say it, but as far as I'm concerned, there's your proof that it's a PA right there.
Your mom says ignore her and go anyway? Ask yourself, though, which would make you the most miserable, going and being tormented throughout the entire vacation or putting your foot down that she not go.
His comment about not telling her to go because it's a public place is very telling. Yes, it's a public place, but if she knows you want it to be a vacation for you and your partner, there could only be one reason for her to go, and that is to spoil it for you because she wants him. He knows this. To me, if he stands his ground on her going, that would be enough to tell him to go with her. Then you can take your son and go elsewhere for a camping trip. You'll enjoy it a lot more. Once you get home, pack his stuff, set it outside and be done with him. You know he lied to you about her guessing about the camping trip. You know he told her. Why would he lie about it unless they were in an affair?
Your mom may be trying to help, but it is impossible for anyone to understand what you're going through unless they've gone through it themselves. It isn't as easy as ignoring her or waiting until the end of summer to do something about it. It sounds like she doesn't realize that for you to tolerate this situation for the summer would make you miserable. If she realized it, she would give you different advice, but she just can't understand. For you to tolerate this would only wear you down further, and by the end of summer, you wouldn't have the gumption left to do anything. You would be in a state of depression. Don't let that happen.
And he does have a very explosive temper. I know if I put up a fuss he will get mad. I've gotten into a bad place where I shut up and not say anything to keep him quiet. He is very much like a 15yr old in a 44 yr old man ... He has worn me down and I can't do it anymore.
So what if he gets mad?! You have to come to a deliberate decision that you do not care if he gets mad.
This is emotional abuse. Getting angry is a way to manipulate you into doing what he wants. In this case, he wants you to keep quiet and just be happy watching him cheat on you. Don't let him wear you down.
You don't have to get mad at him to confront him. Simply tell him calmly that you know he's in an affair and you want him gone. Simple as that. No arguing, no theatrics, just gone. His response will shock you.
Is he physically abusive to you?
If so, it's needless to say that you need to get away from him now for good. If not, when he gets mad, it is not true anger you're seeing and hearing. It's a show, put on as a control tactic, to control your actions. Don't let him get away with it. You need to get firm and tell him it's over now and tell him straight up that you are not afraid of his anger. If you are not ready to end it with him, at least stand your ground about the two of them going No Contact in any way, shape or form.
You can't control him or what he does with her. You can control your response to it. Give him an ultimatum and be ready to stand by it.

If he guesses, say, "I do not reveal my sources."
You can end up sounding like a broken record. It's ok.
You can do the same thing when/if you tell him it's over. "It's over and I want you gone."
This allows no arguing, no chance of him trying to gaslight you or make excuses. It's a way to gain strength and power.
Doing it this way also keeps you from getting off topic and keeps the focus on his behavior, not how you found out. It will help you redirect the conversation, and it's good practice for using boundaries (what you will and will not do).
Furthermore, by not telling your sources you make it unlikely that he will know how to cover his behavior if he tries to keep the A going.
He asked her this morning how she was. She said she was frustrated that she didn't have smokes and gas. We are former smokers and he said... I'll help you out!
And she said " Awwwwww you are so sweet!"
You are worth much more than this!
I'd tell her, sorry, but I am not willing to supply you with gas and cigarettes. Kick him the hell out of there and then let him explain to her why he suddenly can't help her out!
He is a user. I'm sorry if I sound harsh. It's just that you can do so much better.
But then I've rehearsed in my mind what I was going to say about camping.
I don't feel very strong or confident today.
I can't believe how much they have increased their visits since our huge fight ... everyday, sometimes twice a day. He got short term work so he will leave and go see her and come home. He got this work because of MY boss. OW even said she would stop by where he is working to say hi.
Please spend some time getting your ducks in a row, SI talk for knowing your rights and speaking and perhaps retaining a lawyer...checking your accounts...closing your joint ccards, stuff like that.
Do what is best for you. You need to look after yourself. Since he is busy helping his 'friend'!
Ditch this ner-do-well guy. How dare he spend your cash on this twit!
I know that you know that this is more than a EA. Right?!?
I know that sounds harsh. I don't mean to rub it in, I just want to say things plainly. This shit is so intense, that sometimes reality warps and we make excuses or try to minimize the situation to ourselves because the pain is so searing...I am so sorry that your are going through this.
Please protect yourself and your heart.
He needs the 'hefty bag on the curb' treatment.
Ditch and detach. UGH!
Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.
I get the impression that it really means something like "go away". He doesn't want to be held accountable for a darn thing but makes choices in life that drastically affect other's lives and I sniff that about your partner.
FWIW, our relationship was 20 years and he and OW wrecked it.
In no way would an OW of any kind be let any time with my family. I can't understand that part, Fighting. To me it's fuel for the fire, so to speak and gives them a chance to be around each other, almost like permission or something...I don't like it.
I can't tell from your post if there's a hidden PA, but I would be intolerant of Perv telling another woman those things. You don't have to let it keep happening-it's not fair to you.
I have to agree with StillHere, as this behavior from your partner is just too much like Perv.

Where do you think he went?
C'mon Iamime, you sound just like I used to be and I worry for you. I didn't listen to people and I got really, really messed up.
apologize in advance...
I've been with my partner for 17 yrs. We are NOT legally married because he doesn't "feel like it".
We have 4 children. My eldest daughter has hooked up with a guy who is 11 yrs older, who has 4 kids with 4 different women who he pays no support to. They have been
together over a year and our daughter is well aware that we do not approve but we support her the best we can. We advised her, or more like I begged her not to get
pregnant. I was hoping the relationship would end rather quickly but she informed the family that she is 4 months pregnant. She is beyond over the moon happy but
with his track record I do not think this is not going to end well. Emotionally my daughter is not ready to be a mother, especially not a single mother.
Our son is a wayward soul and it breaks my heart. As soon as he hit high school he got into drugs and skipped school and ran away from home and is now living with
some girlfriend and her parents. This is where my partner really excelled in parenting. He always went to bat for our son. He was the one pleading to give our son
just one more chance. He was the one that would call the police to try and get some sort of help for him but it didn't work. I hope he is alright, I miss him so very
much. He needs to be in rehab but there are no free programs without a waiting list of a year.
Then we have twin daughters. They seem to be typical teenagers and don't cause any real problems. They are going into high school next year and it scares me.
My partner has an issue with not wanting to work. In 17 yrs, he has worked 3yrs. He has a sense of self entitlement. For some reason he does not feel that he needs
to work. But the worst part is that his mother thinks that is okay. She will give him money anytime that he wants it. She will pay our rent, etc. I ask him what is
going to happen when she passes on, what is he going to do in his old age? I have a stellar work record. I've never been fired and have had 2 jobs in 10 years and
I've worked one way or another since I've been 14 yrs old. My current position I've been at for 5 yrs and I have never had a sick day, I suck it up and go in. I
teach my children good work ethics and my partner does not!!! Its sad!
My partner is not a supportive person. He hasn't said that he loves for 8 or more years. He will hug me to lead into sex. No birthday gifts, no Christmas gifts, no
picked flowers, nothing. He won't go out of his way to even make me a coffee, but I have to stratch his back after my 9 hour shift. 6 years ago, I made the worst
mistake of my life. I had a EA with someone who had been my friend for over 25 yrs. It moved into a PA, I was physical with him maybe twice when I needed to end it
and I told my partner. As much as I show him I am remorseful and I feel extremely guilty he will rub it into my face every chance he gets. He has told complete
strangers, people who have never met me that I cheated on him. He has told single female friends that I cheated on him. I explained to him the reason why I did it
was that he told me I was beautiful and he would treat me so wonderfully. That was the only reason. I wanted to feel loved. I so regret it. And I can't get over the
guilt that I feel.
The OW is a single mom who has had a hard life. Her mom committed suicide and unfortunately she found her mom's body. She has 2 sons with 2 different dads. She
likes to cause drama and shit on Facebook. She will drag anyone's name around if you get into it with her. I don't ever know who she is trashing on Facebook but I
can't help but feel sorry for them. She has a lot of trouble with her eldest son. Last summer when our sons went camping with us, she told me that she raised a
hammer above her head and threatened her son because he was mouthing her off. I was speechless. I just walked off. I've never seen her in a stable relationship and
likes to say on Facebook that she doesn't take seconds or other women's men. Whatthefuckever!
As I mentioned I am getting all incoming and outgoing texts from his phone. Obviously he does not know this but I did share that I received one of his messages to her
by mistake. The message was sent on Mother's Day and he told her that she was the sexiest, hottest mom that he knows. Wow, ruin my day!!! So, I asked him about it
and he threw my A into my face. Basically since I did what I did, he has a free pass to do whatever he wants.
He tells her that she is pretty. I get nothing. He encourages her and when I triple my commission in a month, I get "yeah, great"
Plus, he disappointed me greatly when after 5 mths of planning a trip he says he isn't going because his mom said we shouldn't. This trip was on my bucketlist. I
made a dream a reality and he fucked it up for me.
He goes and sees her everyday. He texts her all day long and tells her exactly what is going on. She will ask. He will heavily flirt with her. She will say
nothing. There has never been any sex talk between them. Example, ohhh baby you were amazing. Nothing like that.
My immediate concerns...
I have booked 2 weeks off of work. One week in July and one in August. The week in July, we go camping while our girls go to a sleepover camp. This time is very
important to me. I do nothing but drink, hike and chill out for a week and not worry about anything. This is the time OW came down last year with her sons. This year
it appears she has invited herself to camp with us. She has no reason to be there, our sons are no longer friends. Our time in August is more family when our girls
camp with us for a week. I don't know what to do. I deserve this time. I do not take any other vacation time throughout the year.
My twins are starting high school in a few months. How is this going to mess them up at an already stressful time for them. Everyone wants a seperation or divorce to
be as painless for the children as possible.
His mom is very opinionated. She exclaimed that my daughter should have had an abortion. Holy hell, I was speechless. So was he. My concern is that when this all
comes to light, she will laugh it off. An EA? What silliness!!! She would tell him to tell me to quit fussing. Or, she will get nasty and tell him to kick me out
and take the kids and she will pay the lawyer. How can I go up against that? My mom does say that I have the upperhand because I know whats going on and have proof.
So, can you see why I'm tired? His mom, himself and OW has finally broken me down.
I ranted a bit... thanks for reading
The camping trip? Tonight after work,go to her house. Knock on her door and tell her she is not invited. That you find her "friendship" with your husband highly inappropriate and you are not ok with them talking to each other anymore. Then go home and tell your husband you know about his affair(dont reveal how..or how much you know)..tell him you've told his "friend" you will no longer tolerate her presence in your lives..and then tell him if she shows up on the camping trip,you will pack up and leave..and he can go with her..Im so pissed of for you right now!!
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
What he is doing is wrong and I suspect they both know they are going to end up sleeping together if they aren't already.
But, what you did was wrong too and there are no excuses for an A even when your spouse refuses to get a job ... that isn't an excuse; that's just a permission slip!!
If he tells people ( strangers even) about your A he is punishing you and there's no reconciliation in this relationship.
It's going nowhere as it stands and he is using your A as an excuse to keep you "where (he thinks) you belong" which (to him) is brow beaten and keeping him.
Confront the ow and tell her you have evidence that indicates she is in a relationship with your husband and that, if she doesn't back off, you'll name her in every lawyers letter if you ever decide to divorce.
Why are your and her sons no longer friends? Is it since your son left home? Or is it because perhaps the boys know more about what's been going on with your husband and the ow than you do??
Whatever the texts say- your ow might JUST be clever enough to tell your husband not to send incriminating texts and may know that if she doesn't reply to saucy ones she can maintain the air of innocence!
My FWH convinced me he was in an EA!! Turns out it was almost 3 years of f***ing!!

Lady, you got deep pockets full of free passes and you generously pass them out to everyone, including yourself.
There is also a thread here for madhatters:
You don't have to put up with this.
Nobody forgets what happens, the secret is learning to live with it.
If people in your life are shitting on you it's because you give them a free pass to do so. In order for you to give the people in your life a free pass to shit on you, you first have to give yourself a free pass from being accountable for your own emotional wellbeing by not defining and enforcing your personal boundaries.
I went for counseling after my A and did everything my partner asked. I stopped going because he would tease me by asking if I was going to see the "crazy doctor" . And there is nooooo way in hell he would ever step into IC or MC ... I'm going back. The downfall is there is a 3 mth waiting list but at least I have an appointment.
The boys are no longer friends because OW's son basically got tired of my sons behavior and told him to take a hike. They did a lot of shit together but OW's son took responsibility and grew up.
I might have missed it, but why isn't he working?

In this captivating historical novel, six-time Spur Award winner Richard S. Wheeler turns his storyteller's eye to a clash of towering ambitions in the American West, when the Copper Kings of Butte, Montana, wrestled each other for control of both the "richest hill on earth" and Montana's fledgling government.
The city of Butte looks like a cancerous mélange of smoky mine boilers and rudely constructed sheds when newspaperman John Fellowes Hall arrives on a cold spring day in 1892. Butte may be ugly, but it's the place to get rich. It's also a city full of stories—perfect for a journalist looking to make a name for himself. As an employee of mining titan William Andrews Clark, Hall becomes a part of the best story of them all: the fight among the Copper Kings.
Butte's three founding fathers were remarkable men with little in common other than ambition. Marcus Daly, a humble Irish immigrant, led the Anaconda Copper Mining Company. His political rival, the formidable William Andrews Clark, a brilliant but vain businessman, bought himself a United States Senate seat. And Augustus Heinze tried to steal the mines, using lawyers and bribed judges, only to be crushed by the Rockefellers. The Richest Hill on Earth captures their struggle as well as the stories of the ordinary people—the miners, their wives and children, the journalists, and even the psychics—trying to make their fortunes in the rapidly-changing West.
The Richest Hill of Earth is a Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 Historical Fiction title.
At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
"Passionate, intelligently written, thoroughly entertaining historical fiction."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred teview) on The Richest Hill on Earth
"One of the best Western writers around today. He doesn't rely on epic battles or gunfights to tell his stories, relying instead on fascinating characters, vivid imagery, subtle action, and carefully drawn historical detail."
—Publishers Weekly
"No one writes Montana better than Richard S. Wheeler."
—Roundup Magazine
"A master storyteller whose heart is obviously in the West."

Today was a productive day. I got around all of the Cusco's sights and attractions, recorded a podcast which will be up on the site soon, and shot lots of footage for a video postcard of the city.
While many people use Cusco solely as a base for visiting Machu Picchu, there are some sights worth checking out there. The best-known is Plaza de Armas, boarded by Iglesia and the city's cathedral. This is the city's focal point and you will inevitably end up here at numerous stages throughout your stay in Cusco. Nearby is the Inca Museum. Covering two floors, the bottom floor has two rooms that document life before the Incas. On top there are 21 rooms, all dedicated to Inca life in Peru. And if you're feeling energetic you should check out Sacsay Human (pretty much pronounced 'Sexy Woman') which is an old Inca site near the city.
As I stated earlier, I recorded the Cusco podcast today. If you've been following Hostelworld's tweets on Twitter, you may know by now that I had trouble finding an interviewee for the Cusco podcast. But I got there in the end. I'll put up a post when it's ready.
While tonight was bars in Cusco, tonight it's all about the hostel as LOKI Backpacker Hostel are opening their brand new bar tonight. Should be fun. I'll be able to join in a little bit. Only a little though – have to be up at 7am as tomorrow I'm being picked up at 7.45am to go on a 3-day trek tour that ends in Machu Picchu.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

This announcement is for North American realms - we in Europe will still get to play at midnight Paris time.
I'm with Jay, as much as I want it as early as possible, it's gonna be hard to find the will-power to go to bed after launch at 12am (well 11pm for fellow Brits). The other possibility is to go to bed very early and start playing at about 5am. Then you could get a marathon all-day session in. :D
Hmmm... 5am to 10pm, let's say an obligatory 2 hour lunch break, 15 hours. What level would your new goblin / worgen be after day one?
davemann68 said...
Yes - we in Europe will be playing Cataclysm before the USA.
If I do the digital download I'll be on from 11pm UK time, hoping to get in there before the servers go K-K-K-Kraaaazy!
Or if HMV on Oxford Street do their midnight opening event like they did for Wrath I may wander down and grab a collector's edition from there.
Yes i have been in the Release surge for 2 xpacks and i must say Blizzard learned ALOT from the first Xpack when we all surged in to Hellfire peninsula hell i spent 2h only skinning and selling skinns on AH ... and thats what i normaly do ofc. i do some random Q but nothing biggie.
the thing they did good on WoTLK was realy they started the server working as long as you got the game installed a few hours before the "real" release i know 5+ ppl in my guild who shamelessly was already 64 DK once the clock hit 00:00.
Anyway i think as long as not more then 60% of the server pop. goes to same zone its pretty ok. mobs spawn rate is modified by there kill time so if they die quickly they respawn even faster. atleast that was what happend in BC. Hellfire was littered with 100eds of dead mob bodies just free for me to skin ;-)
anyway lets do the quick math.
10% will reroll Worgen/Goblin
60% will go to the most populare zone of the 2 starter zones
30% will go to the other zone.
of thoes ppl 5-10% will try and powerlevel trying to reach lv85 ASAP.
What do i recomend?: Get a gameplan and stick to it!.
Wana be first 85 then you and your guild is in for alot of work.
Wana hit max level crafting to sell items for hillarious prices ?
Wana try out the new dungeons?
Wana Try and make gold the first week to support you need in the future.
Just remember its just a game! Its not worth losing a spouse or work or a grade for one day of fun.
When Wrath launched the boats just showed up in the SW harbor and whisked people away right on time. Wasn't any trouble on my server.
I was left standing on the docks as I missed getting my midnite purchase by two people... not this time, though! Thank you digital download pre-sale!!

Recipe: Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
I've been having a blast recreating recipes from my summer food adventures in Taiwan. Thank goodness it's soup week at The Kitchn because I think I saved the best for last! Beef noodle soup is considered a national dish in Taiwan, and I had a chance to experience it firsthand at Lao Zhang Beef Noodles, a former winner of Taiwan's annual Beef Noodle Festival.
I was Jet-lagged and perhaps a bit delirious when I entered the noodle shop for my first meal of the trip (I refuse to count the Texas-sized bag of Peanut M&M's washed down with Cool Ranch Doritos in the hotel minibar a meal.). We were immediately swarmed with appetizers — pickled cucumbers, bean curd noodles, marinated tofu, and Coca Cola Classic to name a few — but it was the beef noodle soup that was the obvious star of the show. Nutrient-starved and cranky, the rich, steaming broth swimming with fork tender beef and piles of noodles soothed my weary soul. The flavors may have been exotic, but there was a familiarity in the soup that just goes to show comfort food is the same around the world. It was hands down the best meal of my trip.
That being said, I was a little nervous about attempting this recipe at home. Not only are most of the ingredients a bit exotic compared to my usual Southern fare, but trying to duplicate a memory often ends in complete failure. Expectations are usually set far too high. I was convinced the recipe was going to be both labor and time intensive; I allotted my whole day to slaving in the kitchen. To my pleasant surprise, the hardest part of this was shopping at the Asian grocery (the ability to read Mandarin Chinese would have helped immensely.). Other than that, this recipe really does all of the work itself. Throw the ingredients in the pot, bring to a boil, pour a glass of wine, reduce heat, and simmer. Those Taiwanese are really on to something!
I made this recipe the day before I was planning to eat it and I'm so glad I did. It was a little spicy when I first sampled it and each flavor was a little too distinct for my taste. I decided to wait it out and adjust the flavors before serving. And good thing I did! It was absolutely perfect! Seriously, the recipe was fabulous. It took me right back to that little noodle shop, slurping broth and dripping juices all over my chin. At least from my house I could use a spoon... chopsticks just aren't my forte.
For the soup
3-4 pounds beef shanks with bone still in (or beef short ribs)
5 garlic cloves, smashed
1 inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1 bunch scallions, cut in 2 inch slices
1 plum tomato, quartered
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
4 - 5 whole star anise pods
2 Thai chilis, split lengthwise (optional)
2 tablespoons chili bean sauce
1/2 cup Chinese (Shaoxing) rice wine
1 cup good-quality soy sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken stock
10 cups water, or enough to cover beef
To serve
1 pound baby bok choy or broccoli rabe
1 pound Chinese egg noodles or wheat noodles
Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
For the soup, in a large stockpot, cover the beef shanks with water and bring to a boil. Immediately drain the water and set the beef aside.(This step helps remove impurities to make a more pure soup.) Clean out the stockpot (or have another ready).
Add the par-boiled beef, garlic cloves, ginger, scallions, tomato, five spice powder, brown sugar, star anise, chilis, chili bean sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, chicken stock, and water to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the beef is fork tender. Turn off the heat and shift the lid to allow steam to escape. Let meat stand in the cooking liquid for another hour.
Remove the beef to a cutting board. Pour the stock through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into another pot. Discard the vegetable solids. Slice the beef and return to the stock. (At this point, it's best to refrigerate soup overnight, or up to three days. The flavors will improve while resting and the fat will be easier to remove.) Skim the fat from the surface, and return the soup to a boil.
To serve, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the bok choy and blanch until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Remove the bok choy with a spider and set aside. Bring the water back to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Strain.
Divide noodles and bok choy among bowls. Ladle the beef and hot broth into the bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.

there isnt nearly enough oil in that soup for it to be 牛肉麵, it doesn't even look spicy. The traditional garnish would be picked/salted mustard greens(suan cai).
Nealey, your take on this soup looks amazing! I love finding ways to use beef shanks (so cheap and tasty), so I'll definitely be making this.
And it's been so fun reading about your adventures in Taiwan!
One CUP of soy sauce! Not for low-sodium diets I guess :)
I can't wait to this out!! Thanks for the memories. :)
Not sure I understand what Chili bean sauce is?
I am so excited to try this. The husband will be happy.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I had been to Taiwan about 10 years ago, and had wonderful memories of eating beef noodle soup there. I wasn't sure how making the soup myself would work out, but it came out absolutely delicious. It totally brought back the experience of eating it in Taiwan for me. Lovely recipe!
I really love this recipe & have made it many times over. Even the Chinese Aunties were impressed. I do have a hard time getting the spicy factor right with the variations in chilis. I like it best with bone in short ribs and just a pound or so of shank to keep down the cost. I've also used the dried red chilis from the Asian market but bumped it up to 10. Thanks so much for the post and would love to see many other recipes you learned while in Taiwan.
So tasty! Will have to tweak the chilli amount but so easy to prepare. I used beef ribs, and simmered the soup ingredients in the slow cooker for 6 hours. Great to come home to a tasty soup after all day at work. Will definitely make it again, and enough for leftovers
how did you "adjust the flavors before serving," as you say in your writeup?

Too often religion seems to fuel more hatred than love, more conflict than collaboration. Interfaith Talk Radio's "interfaith amigos"—a pastor, a rabbi and a sheikh—provide a rich understanding of the road to interfaith collaboration by sharing their stories, challenges, and the inner spiritual work necessary to go beyond tolerance to a vital, inclusive spirituality.From their deep commitment and lived experience, they present ways we can work together to transcend the differences that have divided us historically.

2013 Land Rover Freelander 2
The exterior makeover for the Freelander 2 / LR2 brings more contemporary-looking lights with LED technology on both ends, a new finish for the front grille and fog lights, plus new alloy wheel designs and an available body styling package.
Depending on the market, Land Rover has also made changes to the trim levels and the engine range.
In the UK, for example, the 2013 Freelander 2 obtains a new flagship grade named HSE LUX, which adds Windsor leather seats, Grand Black Lacquer finisher, premium carpet mats and 19-inch Diamond Turned Wheels.
The engine lineup remains unchanged in the UK and includes a choice of two diesel engines, the 2.2-litre 148hp (150PS) TD4 and 187hp (190PS) SD4 with four-wheel drive, while the 2.2-litre 148hp engine is also available in eD4 two-wheel drive form in which case it delivers 47.1mpg (6.0 L/100km) and CO2 emissions of 158g/km.
In the U.S.A., Land Rover replaced the 2012MY's 3.2-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine with the new 2.0-liter turbocharged four found in the Range Rover Evoque and more recently, in the Jaguar XF.
The new four-cylinder engine delivers 240hp at 5500 rpm and 250 ft-lbs of torque at 3,200 rpm, representing an increase of 10 hp and 16 lb-ft respectively over the outgoing 3.2- liter naturally aspirated inline six.
The 2.0-liter unit is matched to an Aisin AWF21 six-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system that features a Haldex rear axle differential.
U.S. prices including destination and delivery charges start at $37,250 for the base model, rising to $39,750 for the HSE and $42,350 for the HSE LUX.
The revised Freelander 2 / LR2 will make its global premiere at the Moscow International Motor Show on Wednesday 29 August, 2012, before it goes on sale this fall.

Sexism Is Worse Than Racism
What Katie Couric said about sexism -- and how one mom feels it every time she mentions her daughter's name.
The United States' first female anchor woman, Katie Couric, told Israeli paper Haaretz, "I find myself in the last bastion of male dominance and realizing what Hillary Clinton might have realized not long ago: that sexism in the American society is more common than racism -- and certainly more acceptable or forgivable."
When we brought this up in the momlogic offices, moms were yelling out examples of the sexism they feel every day. Here is one of those stories...
"Before I would say, "yes" to getting engaged, I made my husband agree that when we got married I'd keep my name. Furthermore, he had to agree to hyphenate our kids' names. After some debate, he understood my argument, agreed to the condition and we eventually got married.
When we had our daughter we went ahead as planned and both of us proudly placed our daughter's hyphenated name on her birth certificate.
I have since learned that this really offends people -- and they aren't afraid to tell me. I've been accused of being cruel to my daughter. I've been warned that I'm setting her up for a lifetime of mockery and that she'll take twice as long as her peers to learn how to write her name. I've been told that I'm ruining a very important tradition and that I'm emasculating my husband. I have another word for all of these reactions: sexism.
I always wondered why women just automatically give up their names. Why is the man's name more important? Isn't a marriage supposed to be an equal partnership? And if you want to get technical, I'm the breadwinner in my relationship. And when it comes to kids, I'm the one carrying the baby! Even the most feminist women I know don't give a second thought to giving their children the father's name. I'm not sure why this is such a blindly accepted practice. How come people think it's OK to tell me that making steps toward my daughter's equality is cruel?
People often pat themselves on the back when they come up with this one: "What's she going to do if she marries a guy with a hyphenated name? Have four last names?" Honestly, I have no idea what she'll do. I hope that by the time she is an adult, (she's 11 months old) women will have noticed this type of bullying. As a mom, I hope she'll feel comfortable and strong enough to choose whatever name she'd like.
For more mom diaries, click here.
I think the last line of this article is the key. Everyone has the right to pick or keep whatever name they want. If going ahead with the husband's surname works, fine. But those who do shouldn't be berated for being sexist, just like you shouldn't be berated for giving your daughter both of your names. Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and doing what you think best, but my kids have their father's name, and I think that is just fine.
The point is that many women just automatically give their husband's name to their children with no thought that any other option even exists. That is the proof that our world is still sexist.
I agree with the first commenter's choice of having both names. But it should be an individual choice and always based on true partnership.
I recently viewed a disturbing youtube (megahit) video "Obama gives Hillary the F!nger" and had to ask a "teenage pundit" to udnerstand what a "flip-off" is! It seems Obama did this while smirking on stage and it was quite amusing to my teenage pundit—-but not to ME! I found it camouflaged sexism by someone from whom I expected much more! He had said "her claws are coming out" and "periodically, she feels down and starts launching attacks"…I didn't think much until I saw the video. And now I can say that sexism can be found in a lot of men we would not expect to see it in. From 71-year-old McCain i more or less expect it, but from a young, 'cool' presidential candidate…well, I was shocked! God help our daughters…
Mary, as far as the politics goes, if Obama gave the finger to or accused a male candidate of taking his claws out, would it still be sexism. It seems to me that if the competition is between two men, and these comments are made, it's fair game. But if a woman wants in, and the competition is played the same way, it's sexism. It's part of the game. We're electing a President of the United States, there's no room for chivalry or sugar-coating. I'm for Obama, myself, but respect Hillary for going out there and standing up to the "big boys". She didn't go out there as "the woman candidate". He went out there as a candidate and that's that.
I have to disagree with jordan, I am a woman and I know I have the option not to take the name of my husband. I would want to take his name anyway, because it symbolizes the fact that we are one, and it symbolizes the connection between us. Call me old fashioned but, I don't think that people take marriage as seriously as they should in this day and age. Very soon divorces will be quicker and unions will be shorter (they already are). Not sharing the same last name is another step, my mom had to go through the work of changing her last name after the divorce and without complaint. Not sharing the last name, in my eyes, is seen as another convenience for a divorce.
Name..big deal. Very serious issue to worry about. If you're wise enough to hyphenate your daughter's name…please use your wisdom and tell us what she's going to do when she marries someone with a hyphenated name and what their children's name will be like. I guess by the 3rd generation…the kids will have 16 last names. Pick a serious issue about sexism to worry about.
I think thats pretty cruel to do to your husband and daughter. Why don't you just flip a coin to see what last name the kid gets? Sexism is not that big of an issue. Women have a lot more freedom than we use to and taking a last name isn't a big deal. Men and women aren't equal, we're are very different. Physically and mentally.
I know this is an older article, but I just wanted to chime in - I actually know a couple who both have hyphenated last names, and they've decided already that if they get married, she's taking his hyphenated name to, as she put it, "stop from being utterly ridiculous and having our children hate us."
I have all intentions of taking my future husband's name. I love him, and we are a family now, which should be symbolized by the use of one name. When the parents have different names, your child's teachers WILL assume that the parents are divorced or separated, as will your child's peers (when old enough).
To the posters who said the use of one family name is a symbol of unity within marriage: there is also the option of taking the wife's surname.
The main problem I see is that women frequently opt to choose the husband's surname out of their desire to create familial unity, without realizing there are other alternatives that create unity as well.
Oftentimes, in such cases, the woman overlooks the fact that (if only one family name is what she desires) she has equal rights to pick her own surname as the family name.
Although the issue of sexist patrinomy is, arguably, not as "pressing" as other sexism issues, it is nonetheless important that we examine this form of institutionalized sexism within marriage. Afterall, why ARE so many couples blindly adopting the husband's name without question? Are our daughters being raised without knowing their equal rights in marriage, and thus are unaware of their right to protest a practice which goes against their wishes?
And Miss India: You think that "sexism is not really a big issue"? Really? Maybe you were raised in a wealthy, progressive nation where sexism against women wasn't as outwardly obvious to you. But if you look at other regions of the world where women are still regarded as, treated, and legally-oppressed as second-class citizens, it becomes quite clear that sexism is still an extremely pressing global issue. Don't trivialize sexism.
Women have made strides in North America and other progressive nations, yes, but there is still a long, long road to equality ahead of us; we have to keep fighting.
And also, men and women may be different reproductively and physically, but mentally they are not much different. The different behaviours you witness in women and men is the result of societal conditioning by family, peers, and the media. These gendered behaviours are thus not natural and innate; they are artificial. To state that women and men are "very different" would further promote sexism via an artificial dichotomy.
I agree with Vivian. Personally, I would like to keep my last name and not adopt my husband's last name at all and he can keep his last name and not adopt mine. Legally we'll be married, but there will be equality. We could hyphenate our children's last names until they are old enough to have learned about both sides of the family (history and such) and can make an educated decision about which name they would like to keep. Problem solved. No burdens of 16 last names and such. One more thing: I disagree heartily with Miss India. I haven't found very much of a difference between men and women like you believe there is. The only important difference is reproductive organs. Otherwise, differences in physique and behavior, even height is subject to the individual.

From the Google+ we get hangouts where we get a chance to talk to friends and acquaintances, where it is also a good opportunity for marketers to contact customers via their business blogs. This video focuses on the effects hangouts might have on marketing efforts on Google Plus.
Tarah talks about how a marketer can use Google+ hangouts…
Consumers can engage with a brand through video chatting… Although Facebook is working on integrating video chatting with Skype says Tarah it is not as seamless and as integrated as Google Plus.
If for example, you are a fashion brand suggests Rachel, and as a company you want to know what people think about some changes you might want to make within your company… just say you are trying to change a logo. People have the ability to add your brand page to their circle and when something new is going on they can go to your hangout and tell you, or a representative of your company, what they think.
This is the most effective form of audience management at the present. As Rachel says you cannot get more real than that. It is like real life spontaneous customer focused groups who are actually coming in to talk to you… this is an audience that you will want to engage with.
Matthew says no other platform allows for a one to one or indeed a one to many relationship and companies can take advantage of that situation building an interested audience.
Check out Google+ hangouts and have a look at this news article about this digital networking platform to see how you as a marketer can use this new channel to contact and engage with your existing or potential customers.

In their 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the wild-card round, Pierce led the team in rushing with 103 yards on 13 carries, his 43-yard run down the right sideline providing one of the game's highlights.
He left the playoff game in Denver with a knee injury but carried the ball five times for a team-leading 52 yards — and caught a pass for eight yards — the next week in the Ravens' win over the Patriots.
Upshaw, the Alabama star taken by the Ravens' as their first pick in the second round last April, says he can't believe his good fortune to be playing in the Super Bowl just a year after he played in the national championship game with the Crimson Tide.

His NFL career got off to a rough start. He reported to training camp overweight and hurt his right shoulder in the preseason. He started five of the Ravens' first six games at rush linebacker but often seemed tentative and confused about his assignments.
Still, as the season went on and the shoulder healed, Upshaw became more of a force, finishing with 55 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass deflections. And, like Osemele, Tucker and Pierce, he marvels at what he and his young teammates have been able to accomplish.
"I feel like this rookie class has been phenomenal," he said. "Whatever opportunity we got, even if it was special teams, we had to go out there and make plays. And that's what we did."

Take Action!
- Estimate how much you will need in retirement by first identifying your goals.
- Anticipate likely expenses such as housing, travel and college tuition.
On the face of it, the math seems fairly simple. It's a matter of income versus expenses. The key question is: will your monthly income be sufficient to cover your monthly expenses? As you think about your life in retirement, it's important to take a close look at your anticipated expenses. Remember that your retirement could cover a 25-year period, or longer, and you need to feel confident that your retirement income will cover your retirement expenses.
Identify Your Retirement Goals
The first step in determining how much income you will need in retirement is to pinpoint your goals. Your basic financial goals may include having the ability to pay your bills for the rest of your life, maintaining your lifestyle, establishing a cushion for unforeseen expenses, maximizing your estate or leaving a legacy to heirs and/or a charity. Also factor in other goals that come with financial costs, such as funding advanced education, starting a business or providing for extended family.
Bucket Your Anticipated Expenses
Once you determine what you want to do in retirement, you can begin estimating the income required to fund those ambitions. Of course, not all expenses are created equal. Categorizing your anticipated expenses can help you to prioritize and compartmentalize your income planning.
- Essential expenses include housing, utilities, food, clothing and basic healthcare. These are expenses that must be paid.
- Discretionary expenses include travel, entertainment and gifts. Discretionary expenses can usually be forgone or reduced if necessary.
- One-time expenses are exactly as the name implies. These may include a child's wedding or a grandchild's college tuition, as examples.
Within these categories, your expenses can be defined even further. For example, you may have both ongoing essential expenses (e.g., property taxes, utilities) and fixed essential expenses that last only a certain number of years (e.g., a mortgage). As you transition into retirement, some work-related expenses like transportation and apparel will decrease but the rising cost of healthcare is a financial planning issue for many retirees.
As important as it is to profile your retirement expenses before retirement, it is equally, if not more important to monitor your expenses during retirement. By meeting regularly with your financial professional, you can help ensure that your investment plan continues to meet your needs as they evolve over your lifetime.

My daughter attended St. Paul's for three years. She started at the age of three and just complete the Pre-K program. She is starting kindergarten in the fall. I couldn't have found a better school for her. The teachers are warm, patient, loving, and are well trained, experienced, and dedicated. They attend inservices to stay on top of the latest trends in early childhood development and education and they are following the Reggio Method (Google it) . The playground is a child's fantasyland. My son just turned three and will be starting their two day program in the fall. He has been looking forward to starting at St. Paul's for quite some time since he has seen all of the fun activities they provide. There is so much opportunity for enrichment and growth that I know my daughter is going into kindergarten with a wide variety of experiences under her belt.
This school has been perfect for my daughter. Everyone that works there LOVES what they do! My daughter has not only enjoyed every minute of being there, but has also learned alot. The children are constantly involved in some sort of project and are encouraged in everything they do. I plan to put my infant daughter at St. Paul's as well. Great school!!
I can't say enough about this amazing school! The director is the warmest person you'll ever meet. It is obvious the whole staff loves their job. It is a clean, safe, nurturing, fun, and just wonderful place to be. My girls have loved every minute of preschool and we'll truly miss it when we grow out of it.

Working with Scenario Categories
One of the most powerful concepts of Quantrix is the ability to add scenario categories to a matrix to analyze different 'What-If' situations. In this Modeler note, we will take a simple loan amortization matrix and create two additional what-if scenarios to analyze how much interest will be paid over the life of a 10, 20 and 30 year loan. All this will be done without adding or changing one single formula!
For this Modeler note, we will be using a model file called LoanAmortizationBeforeScenario.model. Download this model file to your computer by clicking here. Once downloaded, double click on the file to open the file in Quantrix.
The loan amortization model file is made up of three matrices:
Loans by Year - This matrix contains the assumptions of the loan to be analyzed. Currently, it holds the information for a single 30 year loan analysis.
Interest Paid - This matrix summarizes the interest paid column in the Amort [Amortization] Schedule showing the interest to be paid over the life of the loan.Amort Schedule - A period by period breakdown of the loan showing the principal remaining, interest paid and principal paid for each loan period.
Here are step by step instructions on how to turn your downloaded two-dimensional loan file into a multidimensional loan analysis model.Add Scenario Category and Items for Loan Years
In the Amort Schedule matrix, click on the Items category tile. Shift-Enter the category tile to add a category. Rename the new category 'Scenario' click on Item A1 and rename it to 30 Year. Press Enter twice and add 2 more scenarios. Rename Scenario 2 to 20 year, Scenario 3 to 10 year.
Link Scenario Category to other Matrices
To link the Scenario category to the other matrices, simply click on the Scenario category tile and drag it from the Amort Schedule matrix to the Interest Paid matrix to just above the Paid category. Drag the Scenario category tile from the Amort Schedule and link it to the Loans by Year Matrix.
Format the Loans by Year Matrix - Click the Price row and click the $ (dollar sign) format button - Click the Down row and click the % (percentage sign) format button - Click the Loan row and click the $ (dollar sign) format button - Click the Interest row and click the % (percentage sign) format button - Click the Monthly Payment row. Choose Format --> Number from the menu. In the Number Format section of the Format Toolbox, click the Number type, and select the red negative numer indicator (1234.56). Click OK. Bold the row.
Fill in information for 20 Year and 10 Year loans: -Price of $250,000 -Down of 10% -Interest for 20 Year 5%, 10 Year 5.5% -Years of 20 for 20 year, 10 for 10 year
Your Loans by year matrix should now look like this:
Format and Analyze Interest Paid Matrix
Now double-click the Interest Paid matrix in the Model Browser to bring it to the front. Click the Interest Paid row, and click the $ (dollar sign) button on the format toolbar. At this point it is easy to compare interest figures for each type of loan. Your interest matrix should look like this:
Review and Analyze the Amortization Schedule Matrix
Double-click the Amort Schedule matrix in the Model Browser to bring it to the front. Note how the amounts in each column have changed. Drag and drop tiles among axis to easily compare scenarios. Double-Click on the View By Payment view in the Model Browser to bring it to the front. Make the columns bigger to fit all the information. Click on the drop down list to view a payment for each scenario.
All this was done without changing a single formula in Quantrix! Additionally, this entire matrix is calculated by only 9 readable formulas. Doing this exercise in a traditional two dimensional matrix would take over 1,800 cell-referenced formulas.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans
BY SEAN DONOVANThe Miami Dolphins' season took on a slightly different tone after a heroic performance by Andrew Luck ended their three-game winning streak, but this team (4-4) is still very much in the thick of the AFC playoff picture. To avoid fading into the background, however, Miami must take care of the Tennessee Titans (3-6) at home.Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker is expected to start after missing five games with a shoulder injury and will have the chance to attack a depleted Dolphins' secondary.DECIDING FACTORS:Slow down CJ?K. Despite struggling for the better part of last season and the first nine games of 2012, Johnson remains a dangerous weapon that can score from any point on the field. Miami's run defense has been good this season, but not since the first two weeks has it faced a back of Johnson's caliber. Minimizing long gains on the ground will be critical.Spread the ball around.

Help Me Think of Something Good to Make for a "Summer in February" Party
Good Questions
Q: A friend of mine is throwing a "summer in February" picnic next weekend. However, all of the produce in the stores right now has been shipped from other parts of the world and doesn't have the same flavor as the summer market veggies. What can I make that says "summer" without relying on past-its-prime produce?
Sent by Julia
Editor: Julia, first of all, what a fun idea! Secondly, my advice would be to look to frozen fruit. Frozen fruit can have real zest and vibrance — especially raspberries and blueberries. Why not make an easy dessert like a raspberry fool (similar to the rhubarb one pictured above) or a raspberry limeade?
Readers, what else would you suggest?
Related: Best Summer Food Books

18 Comments
Lemonade would be easy. Or homemade lemon sorbet?
I was also going to suggest using frozen fruit.
For a picnic, you'll want a finger food. I'd suggest summer rolls. They rely on fresh veggies but with a good sauce (I use a peanut sauce), veggies that are only so-so are delicious. Fresh cilantro will also pep them up.
coleslaw, potato salad, strawberry shortcake (with frozen berries)
do the sniff test! smell what 'summer' produce you want to serve at the store, if it doesn't smell like a melon, berry, whatever, it won't taste like one. you can still find good produce in the winter if you put a little extra work into it. i made chocolate covered strawberries on vday for my boyfriend and they were so red, juicy and sweet that you would have thought it was early summer.
But if you're opposed to buying foreign fruit, citrus is in season, frozen works well too.
What about something with pesto? The green green color will bring a little summer to anything.
Punch up your flavors with lemon or lime juice and fresh herbs. Fruit juice spritzers, ice creams with chunky fruit jam. Creamy salads with fresh herbs. Grilled meats etc. Gazpacho?
I agree - coleslaw and potato salad say summer picnic to me, and potatoes and cabbage are fairly in-season right now. Same with young organic carrots - they are popping up in markets right now. Also - gourmet pickles, cold fried chicken, and a strawberry shortcake made with a sauce from frozen strawberries.
You could probably make a great salsa with frozen corn (which is often superior to fresh anyway), canned fire-roasted tomatoes, and beans.
Citrus is summery, despite being a winter fruit.
If you don't want to go with a basil pesto, why not try a cilantro, parsley, or arugula pesto?
Something will grilled marinated asparagus? Our fave at barbeques, and growing now on this side of the equator.
Grilled chicken with shaved coconut, we saw the recipe on cooking channel, a show called Everyday Exotic. Meringue cookies for dessert.
I would say something light with tomatoes. Tomatoes scream summer! I used Muir Glen Fire Roasted Diced canned tomatoes to make a delicious quick bruscetta topping. Drain off tomatoes, roughly chop, add a few glugs of great quality olive oil, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and a couple cloves of smashed garlic left whole. Let it sit a few hours to really develop flavors.
I also would add fresh chopped basil if you can find it. I like to add it just before serving to retain that beautiful color, but a little added to the mix will add good flavor.
Most times I'll add a little honey or maple syrup to cut through the acidity that canned tomatoes can have. Taste and see if you need to add it.
Serve with fresh baguette or slice and toast it.
key lime pie perhaps since you can just use bottled key lime juice.
I would suggest making a Key Lime Pie. Even if you can't find fresh Key Limes, you can use a bottle of Nellie and Joe's Key West Lime Juice and just garnish with regular ol' limes. To me, nothing says Summer better than a Key Lime Pie.
I totally agree with the comments saying "something with good canned tomatoes." Salsa and bruschetta are good ideas, also maybe foccaccia or pizza with some fresh basil and mozzarella.
Depending on what kind of storage and transport you have, popsicles scream summer for me and are fun, easy and different!
But if you're thinking something less desert-y, why not do a grapefruit salad of some sort?
Banana pops, canned tomato salsa with quesadillas or tacos, ice cream sundae buffet...
I always think citrus feels like summer, even though their season is winter. Lemon or lime squares, lemon poundcake, lemon or lime cookies, or for savory a lemon-marinated chicken would do the trick. Citrus always feels light and fresh.
