Save time and save money with our casket kit! Take a look at our detailed kit instructions.
There are several options for joining your wood pieces. If you are an enthusiastic do-it-yourself'er, you may already own a handy system for wood joinery. Some systems include the Kreg Pocket driller, a Biscuit Joiner, and the Festool Domino system. Any of these systems will aid in creating attractive (hidden) and strong wood joinery in your casket.
If you do not already own a wood joinery system like the Kreg jig, do not worry! You can use common nails or screws for wood joinery. The only difference is that your nail heads or screws will be visible in some places.Wood joinery options (select one)

About dimensional lumber
You will notice that your 1x10 boards are actually 0.75 inches thick and only about 9.25 inches wide. The size may vary somewhat depending on the practices at the mill that cut the lumber. The width of your boards may vary from 9 inches to 9.5 inches. As you select the boards at the store, try to get them all in the same uniform width. If you cannot, that is o.k., we can accommodate the small variances as we assemble them. Try to cut the sides and ends from 5 boards that are exactly the same width. Save the non-uniform boards for the floor and top.
Why the framed floor?
We designed this casket with a framed floor to which the sides are attached with shear joints. The floor boards rest on top of the frame instead of being attached the to the sides and ends with tension joints. This design provides strength and will ensure that the bottom of your casket will not fall out. This casket design has survived several "drop tests" with 300 lbs of sand bags.
Free Casket Plans & Instructions
The plans below are for a rectangular casket (4 sides + top + bottom). For a coffin (6 sides + top + bottom) also known as a "toe-pincher" check out our free coffin plans at www.DIYCoffin.com.
Before you begin...
Building your own casket can be a rewarding experience. The time you spend yourself or with family members crafting a casket for a loved one can be a memorable and therapeutic experience. I built my first casket for my Grandfather when he passed away just days before Christmas in 2004. I know I made him proud when I designed and built for him a casket that was inexpensive, sturdy, and beautiful in a traditional coffin design that expressed my Grandfather's affection for the Old West.
Dec. 24, 2004 - My Grandfather's funeral procession with my first casket built in an Old Western movie tradition--Grandpa was a John Wayne and Clint Eastwood fan.
Your finished handmade casket can express any number of finishes that echo the personality of your lost loved one. My Grandfather's coffin was unfinished pine in the simplest of traditions, but yours can be stained, stenciled, painted, burned, stamped, carved, or filled with bumper stickers and photos to express the life and times of the deceased.
This is a toe-pincher coffin made from 100 year-old barnboards reclaimed from Dad's barn--what Dad asked for (in storage, Dad is healthy).
Before you begin, set your expectations for the time and material cost to build your own casket. These instructions will save you the time to plan and design your casket. If you are an experienced do-it-yourselfer with some basic hand tools, you should plan 6-10 hours to build your first casket--even if you have help. As for materials, you can expect to spend between $150 and $300 depending on the market price for lumber in your area. If you plan to line the inside of your casket with pillows or linens, add this to your cost.
Gather the following hand tools:
- Hand saw, cross cut (circle) saw, or miter box saw
- Tape measure
- Framing square
- Hammer or rubber mallet
- Screw driver or cordless power driver
- Wash cloth and warm water (for cleaning up excess glue)

Lumber selection
In spirit with our founding principle to promote sustainable practices for a smarter planet, we recommend saving the finest pine and other fine hardwoods for longer-lasting purposes like book cases, homebuilding, and fine furniture. The lower grades of pine are suitable for Grandpa's casket.
When selecting pine boards for your casket, the more square the material, the easier your assembly will be. Typically, lumber and home improvement stores carry 3 grades of pine: (1) Choice, (2) Select, and (3) Clear. These grades indicate the degree to which the lumber contains knots and knot holes. The higher the grade, the less likely the boards will contain loose knots, knot holes, twist, or warp. The higher the grade, he higher the cost. We recommend the low- or mid-grade, Choice or Select Pine. Try to find uniform boards in the Choice pile. To ease assembly--especially if this is your first casket--you may want to opt for the mid-grade, Select Pine, because the uniformity in the boards will give you less warping or twist in the boards and make your assembly a bit easier. Knot holes will not be a problem and will only add character to your finished casket.
2. Prepare cut list
Next, cut and prepare the following boards.
|Item Description
|Bottom Frame Rails
|1 in. x 2 in. x 76.5 in.
|Bottom Frame Crossbars
|1 in. x 2 in. x 22.5 in.
|Floor boards (outside)
|1 in. x 10 in. x 76.5 in.
|Floor board (center)
|1 in x 6 in. x 76.5 in.
|Side boards
|1 in x 10 in. 78.25 in.
|End boards
|1 in. x 10 in. 24 in.
|Top boards (outside)
|1 in . 10 in. 78.50 in.
|Top board (center)
|1 in. 8 in. 78.50 in.
3. Assemble the floor frame
The first step is to assemble the frame for the floor. The finished frame dimensions are 24 inches by 76.5 inches. The frame consists of two side rails and 5 cross members. As you assemble, focus on keeping the frame square. Use your preferred wood joinery method to attached one cross member at each end and distribute the three middle cross members evenly at approximately 19, 38, and 57 inches.
4. Attach floor boards to the floor frame
The inside floor is 24 inches wide and 76.5 inches long. Use two 1x10 boards on the outsides and one 1x6 in the middle. (Remember boards can be irregularly sized, but 9.25 + 5.25 + 9.25 = 23.75). You should have 0.25 inches to spare. Space the floor boards evenly and use glue, screws, or nails to fasten the boards to the frame. As you fasten, use caution to square the frame. The more true your frame is to being square, the easier it will be to attach the sides and ends.
5. Drill holes for rope handles
Select two end boards (1x10x24) and two side boards (1x10x78.25) that will be the bottom boards around the sides and ends. These are the pieces that will attach directly to the floor frame and transfer the support for the handles to the floor. You will drill holes for three rope handles on each side (6 holes) and one rope handle on each end (2 holes). Select a drill bit the same size as the rope you purchased (1 or 1.25 inches). Mark the boards for all holes to be drilled 3 to 3.5 inches from the top edge of the bottom boards leaving about 6 inches of the board between the handle holes and the bottom edge of the casket.
6. Assemble sides and ends
The sides and ends are each two pieces joined along the long edge (with the grain of the wood). Use your preferred wood joinery method (see side bar). It is a good idea to use some wood glue even if you are using screws, nails, or alternative wood joinery system. If you plan to remove the screws, you must use wooden dowel pegs, Festool Dominos, or equivalent to provide a good bond between the two pieces of wood.
Note: Make sure to assemble sides and ends such that the edge nearest to the rope handle holes is on the top. This top side should be the side you join the upper side boards to.
7. Assemble the casket lid
Use similar techniques as you did to assemble the sides to assemble the casket top with two outside boards (1x10x78.5) and one middle board (1x8x78.5). Optionally, use leftover 1x2 material and cut 3 pieces each about 23.75 inches in length. Attach these to the underside of the lid at both ends and one in the middle. These pieces will serve two purposes: (1) provide additional strength to the lid, and (2) help align the lid when positioning it on the casket.
8. Prepare sides and ends to attach to the floor
You may have noticed that the sides are 0.25 inches longer than the length of the floor frame plus the thickness of the two ends. This is to provide an attractive joint that adequately covers the end grain of both end pieces. The ends and sides should measure 18.5 inches from top to bottom. Due to the inconsistencies in mill work, you may find your sides or ends slightly larger or smaller. Take the largest side and subtract the thickness of the floor (which should be 2.25 inches) to get the inside depth of your casket. This measurement should be approximately 16.25 inches. Mark both sides and both ends at this distance from what will be the top edge of your casket. This procedure will ensure that your casket lid fits tightly on all 4 sides by moving the tolerance to the bottom edge of the casket where it will go unnoticed.
9. Attach ends and sides to the floor
Take one end and the floor and fit together. Tip the casket up on the side edge of the floor so that you can access the underside of the floor and fasten with your preferred fastening method (see side bar). Fasten the other end in the same manner.
With the casket still laying on its side, place one of the sides onto the top and fasten with your preferred method (see side bar). Next, flip the casket over and attach the remaining side.
10. Thread rope handles
The last step is to thread the 20-feet of rope in a manner that provides 3 large handles on each side, and one large handle on each end. Tie the rope in a knot and start in one of the corners (whichever corner you prefer to be the foot of the casket is best). Pull the rope as tight as you can as you thread each handle. There will be plenty of stretch in the rope to provide your pallbearers a good grip when handling the casket.
You are done! The lid is ready to attach with your preferred fastening method. If the casket needs to be ready for a viewing, we encourage some light sanding so nobody catches a sliver. You can also be creative and paint, stain, or decorate your casket to reflect your loved one's life and memories.

Recently, I came upon a nice discussion between Sripad Keshava Krsna and Pusta Krishna Prabhus about the difficulties which naturally entail ascertaining, training and sustaining real and pragmatic leadership and management within a religious institution.
Although it was not in his written will, Jayapataka Swami had verbally made Bhakti Purusottama Swami the executor of his living will. Thus, in the case that Jayapataka Swami should enter a state of unconsciousness, Bhakti Purusottama Swami will make decisions related to his health.
Devotees from around the world are writing to Jayapataka Maharaja offering him solace and encouragement during his health crisis. We have found that many of these letters contain sweet remembrances and moving expressions of vaisnava sentiments. With a special intent of helping his disciples through this very difficult time, we are posting some of those letters here.

We never cease to be amazed or shocked. Thinking that nothing really surprises us anymore, the shock-value of what could happen to us, intrudes impolitely into our sense of peace and harmony, when fellow devotees are struck by sudden death, accidents, illness and coma.
Nov 3 2008 It's Like You Never Left
In this lifetime, I only got to see Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada one time. For an instant. Sometimes I feel as my entire life thereafter evolved or unfolded from that moment, like a tiny seed germinating before sprouting forth from the spiritually fertile Dust of His Lotus Feet.

Genuinely Krishna Conscious true leadership is the only real solution for the actual benefit of all the people. Same as it ever was. Institute alone (of any type) cannot be an automatic substitute for the real inner pursuit of the Absolute by the truly spiritually astute.

After fighting for justice at countless court hearings, the families of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom are preparing for yet another battle after they found out this week that Vanessa Coleman is set to appear before a parole board in October.
Kentucky State Police have reported that they are searching for 28-year-old Darrell W. Arrwood after he walked away from his work detail on Wednesday afternoon.
Arrwood, a state prisoner being held at Marion County Detention Center on burglary charges, was working with the Springfield Recycling Center at the time.
Arrwood is listed as a 5-9, 140-pound white male with green eyes and brown hair. When he was last seen, he was wearing a brown shirt with brown pants.

This summer seems to be baby season. When two grandchildren announced they were having baby boys within two months of each other, it was time to quilt in a hurry!
Babies like bright colors, so a primary palette was chosen.
When former Washington County High School government and history teacher Ryan New offered his students the chance to take part in a political campaign, five students (Bethany Wheatley, Jordan Wheatley, Claire Miller, Robert Lewis and Brittany Greenwell) jumped at the chance.
The proposal was simple.
Jacqueline Coleman, whom New knew from their time at Centre College, needed volunteers to help in her campaign for the 55th House of Representatives district.
Adoption for Bobby Joe and Amanda Mattingly was not something that was always in the couple's plans. For them, the addition of 21-month-old Emma Grace to their family was the result of the opening of a door of opportunity.

"I remember when I was a young child, about 8 years of age, I was passionate about animals. I remember thinking I would love to have some kind of job working with animals. Something that allowed me to work with animals every day would be my ideal job. …. As I got older I started thinking about a bunch of other possibilities…fashion design and fashion merchandising was one, advertising was another one that I remember wanting to do when I was in middle school. Then in high school, I began to get really interested in biology. I was fascinated by biology in particular and genetics specifically. I remember sneaking out to the library—what kind of nerd was I to sneak out to learn things about genetics and then about dog breeding? …Then I got the opportunity, and I know this is going to sound bizarre, to work with a herd of water buffalo, and I fell in love with the concept all over again."

Well not yet but maybe its because i haven't been making an effort. I've heard a loofa with a good exfoliator is good followed by some sort of skin whitening lotion to fade to discoloration. If the scars are raised as in like bumpy and raised its most likely a keloid. If you just got it, you still have hope. Put some tea tree oil on it. If you can't get tea tree oil try hydrogen peroxide and hold it on the scar. That should do it.

Anna, how bad were these scars? I have brown blotches resulting from acne (the scars are shiny and if i move my arm the scar raises). I wonder if yours was the same? did the brown color fade (your upper back)?
- Reply
I've read somewhere that once it heals up( meaning you peel and the spots are still there and prominent 2-3+ weeks after) , you can use hyperpigmantation creams, ( bleach creams, or alpha hydraxy) creams to fade out the spots. I've used petroleum jelly during the peel for discoloration. Although my experience has been that if you help peel/pick the skin on your own, ( maybe in your case clothing rubbed against your skin) you will get red spots from premature peeling( like a smooth scab that goes from red to brown )Is that what you have? Personally, i would give it at least couple of weeks before taking the cream route, and protect you back from the sun! Your skin will be extremely vulnerable to sun spots the next couple of months.

Behind CISPA, the threat of a new cyberwarBehind the façade of diplomacy and uneasy economic cooperation, the U.S. and China are engaged in a new cold war. The combatants are hackers, and the fields of battle are the computer networks of government agencies and massive corporations.
Congressman Mike Rogers has been trying to sell you on this idea for a long time.
"China's economic espionage has reached an intolerable level," he said at a congressional hearing in October 2011. Rogers didn't call for any new laws at the time, though he did allude to "legislation" that could help fight this problem. And he made it very clear who the enemy is.
"Beijing is waging a massive trade war on us all," he added.
China is constantly hacking U.S. corporations, according to Rogers, and it hurts American businesses when that information is passed on to competitors overseas. He talked quickly, clearly, and elliptically, cloaking his words in military-intelligence speak. The "intelligence community" had information about "advanced foreign cyber-threats," he said.
Rogers, a former FBI agent, is the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. The committee's job is to oversee agencies like the FBI and the NSA in intelligence gathering. There was an air of "trust us, this is worse than you think" at the hearing: General Michael Hayden, former head of both the NSA and the CIA, told reporters afterward that "this information is horribly overclassified inside the government." It was as if the intelligence community wanted everyone to know how bad things had gotten, but it was prohibited from saying so.
Before delving too deeply, Rogers thanked three "witnesses" for help in his report. One of those was Kevin Mandia, CEO of cybersecurity consulting firm Mandiant, who, Rogers said, "deals with the consequences of advanced cyber-espionage against American companies every day."
A month later, Rogers introduced his solution, the controversial Cyber Intelligence Security Protection Act (CISPA) in the House for the first time.

After eight years delivering pizza and entertaining guests in Genesee Depot, Paisano's Pizzeria is closing its doors Jan. 31.
After a lease disagreement, owner Tom Munsie said it's bittersweet to be leaving the Genesee Depot area and the customers he has grown close to.
"We get the same people that order on Saturday or order on Sunday, and when they come in on a different day I say, 'What are you coming in here for, it's not Sunday,' " Munsie said. "You know the customer, you know what they order, and the customer feels more comfortable knowing their order is going to be right."
Munsie has just begun his search for a new home for Paisano's but has taken special interest in the Mukwonago area.
"I've looked primarily in Mukwonago. I really want to be in a city where there is a little more traffic and is still community-oriented," Munsie said.
Community is important to Paisano's. The business has sponsored Little League teams and other community initiatives in Genesee Depot. Munsie said he has also enjoyed working with high school fundraisers by doing "sell a slice" or providing gift certificates for raffles and other events.
There's also a sense of community in the small staff that makes up the small pizzeria. Munsie said he primarily hires high school students, and they tend to stay until they reach college.
"The people that are working here say they want to go wherever I go," Munsie said. "They are also disheartened by the closing, which I understand because having the business is like having another kid."
Munsie, whose own family has worked at the restaurant, said he hopes staff members will come with him to his new location, but he also wants to hire in the community where he ends up.
Munsie hopes to have a new location selected this spring and have Paisano's ready to open by summer.
In his new location, he hopes to add to his signature pizza menu. He also would like to explore having live entertainment on Saturday nights.
Until then, however, Munsie is just enjoying his last days in Genesee Depot, celebrating the eight years he spent in the community. "When I started to realize about the lease, I understood it was business," Munsie said. "But then I started telling my employees and telling my customers and then it really hit me; I don't know, maybe I'm still in denial. It will hit me Thursday when everyone starts to leave."

I'm giving this pie 5 stars for what it is: a delicious, richly chocolate pie with pecans. Everyone who tried it loved it. Don't make this pie expecting a taste resembling the buttery, caramely flavor of traditional pecan pie. I used mini semisweet chips and found they evenly melted into a thick layer on the bottom for an intense chocolate flavor. The bag of pecans I purchased came with 1.5 cups of pecans and I feel I could have used them all. I used very good bourbon from a specialty, small-batch brewery (what we had) and I couldn't taste it - I think it all burned off during cooking. The pie was still warm an hour after it came out of the oven when it was time to serve it and I thought it was great warm. Overall: a rich, not-too-sweet pie for people who love chocolate and pecans. Note that this recipe is the exact same as the November 1998 "Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie" also found on MyRecipes.

PATRIOT Reauthorization Hijacked! Call and fax your congressional representatives now!
Extremists in Congress have hijacked the PATRIOT Act Reauthorization process. Behind closed doors, they crafted a draft PATRIOT Act Conference Report, shutting out other members of Congress. This is a serious breach of our open democracy, reminiscent of 2001, when the PATRIOT Act was written by the Department of Justice and shoved through Congress. We must make our voices heard in the halls of Congress and beyond!
Please demand that your Congressional representatives vote resoundingly NO on a Conference Report that expands the PATRIOT Act.
The current draft of the Conference Report, which is subject to change, constructs a facade of checks and balances, while stripping the courts of any significant oversight. Opportunities for the Department of Justice to monitor telephone and email activities of ordinary Americans, as well as to delve into financial, medical, library, school and other records without oversight are extended, and in some cases expanded. The Report also creates multiple new death penalties.
Call and fax your Congressional representatives today! Urge them to oppose these and other expansions of the PATRIOT Act. Look up their contact information.
Time is short: the House and Senate will vote on the Conference Report this week before leaving for a long Thanksgiving recess. Visit our web site, www.bordc.org, for updates.
Sample talking points:
- Nearly 400 communities and seven states have passed resolutions
specifically calling upon Congress to protect the Bill of Rights
from anti-terrorism laws and orders. Many national organizations
representing millions of Americans have passed similar resolutions
in response to the civil liberties invasions of the PATRIOT Act.
- A recent Washington Post article alerted all of us to the fact
that the Department of Justice has been using Section 505 to an
extreme. At least 30,000 National Security Letters have been issued
per year to obtain records of potentially millions of ordinary Americans.
Even when found to be innocent of any terrorist activity, their
records are kept in perpetuity.
- Not only are records of ordinary Americans kept in perpetuity,
but by Executive Order 13388, signed in October 2005, those records
may be shared with local, state and tribal governments as well as
with "private sector entities."
- Recently, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) obtained Freedom of Information Act documents from the FBI, revealing that the FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on U.S. residents for months at a time, without proper paperwork or oversight.
For more information, see the 11/16
Associated Press article.

Give me some credit, though. Rather than cause a stink, I very quietly sat and watched the rest of the movie. When the credits came up, I said, "Guys, I don't mean to alarm you but I lost a tooth halfway through the movie." And yes, I suffered a lot of teasing for this and probably will never live it down. Let me tell you, there's nothing like having to go to your 31st birthday party the day after losing one of your teeth. My friends gleefully took pictures of me in front of a sign advertising Hillbilly Beer and in general made an awful lot of jokes about Appalachia. Happy Birthday to me!
Anyway, in my mind, the dentist could pop a fake tooth in there and I'd be good to go within hours. Not quite. I've had three pretty serious dental surgeries already to remove infected parts of my jawbone and prepare the area for an implant. They did give me a flipper, which is a plastic tooth on a sort of retainer, heavily favored by the lovely little ladies of "Toddler and Tiaras." However, I hate the way I talk with the thing in, so I really only wear it every once in a while, meaning that most of the time, I've looked like this for the last eight months:

Verizon Employees' Choose to Deliver Grants of $150,000 In First-Ever Spirit of the Season Campaign
In First-Ever 'Spirit of the Season' Campaign Employee's Choose to Deliver Grants to Save the Children, US Fund for UNICEF and World Wildlife Fund
Verizon Employees' choices counted over the past three weeks and will give three worthy international non-profit organizations a $50,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation as a result of the company's first-ever 'Spirit of the Season' online campaign.
"The Spirit of the Season campaign symbolizes Verizon's commitment to shared success," said Jayne Mayer, director of employee engagement for the Verizon Foundation. "The campaign was launched to engage our employees, involving them directly in our efforts to make communities around the world better than they were yesterday. It also demonstrates our commitment to addressing critical societal needs in healthcare, education and energy management.
From Nov. 26 to Dec. 14, Verizon employees were encouraged to choose one of three global programs that resonated with them and the Foundations' focus on education, healthcare and energy management. Based on employee's selection the Foundation divided a total of $150,000 among three international non-profit organizations - Save the Children, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and the World Wildlife Fund - each will receive a $50,000 grant from the foundation. Employees in every part of the business participated, with more than 25,000 employees in company locations around the world taking action in less than a week.
Hector Rodarte, a finance supervisor in Folsom, Calif., thought the campaign was "an awesome company initiative....I am proud of working for a corporation like Verizon who does this for employees."
Luciana Bonifacio-Sette of Save the Children said "When employees choose one of the Save the Children programs during the Spirit of the Season campaign, they chose to support a bright future for millions of children. This grant will help Save the Children provide quality basic, early-childhood education and literacy programs, as well as school health and nutrition programs. These programs help kids get an early start on learning and ensure they stay healthy so they can remain in school."
Kevin P. Nelson of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF said, "Thanks to Verizon employee's generous support, UNICEF can continue to save and improve children's lives around the world. We are grateful to be participants in this year's Spirit of the Season campaign."
Emily Kelton of World Wildlife Fund said, "We are excited to participate in this year's Spirit of the Season campaign and grateful that Verizon employees chose to support World Wildlife Fund's important project. Your generous contribution will help improve the lives of people and pandas while reducing deforestation and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions."

Time elapsed:
Roughly 2 hours.
3 cheese raviolis.
Worth it?
Yes. Yes it was.
A while back I read an article in the Los Angeles Times about a cheap technique to modify one's oven to better mimic the results achieved by an actual wood burning brick oven. The latter works so well because it gets super hot. 700-800 degrees hot. A home oven can't get close to that. As a result, homemade pizza comparatively ends up simultaneously flaccid and overcooked, not crisp enough outside, not chewy enough on the inside. This Times article posited that if one were to encircle a pizza with very hot bricks, then said pizza would cook in a manner resembling a brick oven. So now, after a $17 investment at a nearby masonry supply store, my oven looks like this:
I surrounded my pizza stone with more stone, which, when left in a 550 degree oven (the highest temp mine reaches) for an hour to heat up, ostensibly radiates absorbed heat directly onto the encompassed dough. I was skeptical at first, but excited enough to give it a go. It worked amazingly. In 7 or so minutes I had pizza browned and crisp like I had never before seen come from my oven. I was exhilarated.
Tonight pizza was taken to an even higher level when I applied an assembly technique that my friend Chris gleaned from someone employed at a local Italian place. Prior to this evening, I had always made my pizza sauce so that it resembled a smooth marinara. It tasted good and I had no complaints really, but then Chris suggested I simplify. Instead of making marinara sauce, just puree tomatoes with a little salt. After you form the dough into a thin round (I have found a 1 to 3 ratio of semolina to bread flour makes great strong dough that can stretch very thin without tearing), cover with some olive oil, about two cloves of diced garlic, a liberal sprinkling of red chili flakes, thin sliced mozzarella, then the tomato puree, followed by a coating of fresh Parmesan. Throw it in the oven and when it's finished, top with fresh basil and, if you have it, sel gris.
Best tasting pizza I've ever made!
It was brilliant because you still get all the same flavors, but instead of compressing them all into the sauce, they stand on their own and create a layered effect, which intensifies each individual flavor while still contributing to a finished complete taste.
Do this at your house and you'll never order delivery again.
This is my parent's cat:
She's a very nice cat, amiable, affectionate in that she'll sit on your lap while you watch tv, and she doesn't seem to mind that my not quite two year old niece is obsessed with her in a big way, and frequently pets her (the cat) in that too rushed and poorly targeted way toddlers pet animals. Growing up we always had a cat or two around the house and I liked them enough (I did cut off the top third of one of our cat's ears with a pair of scissors when I was three, but it wasn't out of malice, just a curious sort of "hey look scissors, I should cut something!" In walks cat). I am not a "cat person" or a cat hater, rather, I simply feel the same general indifference towards cats that they appear to feel towards me. That was, until a few months ago. Then I heard the following segment of a Radiolab episode about parasites. Now, I'm constantly weary of cats. Turns out, a lot of them contain a parasite called Toxoplasma Gondii which has been loosely linked in humans with schizophrenia and, believe it or not, car crashes. When I was home and my parent's cat—which is a really soft cat by the way, very soothing to pet—would jump on my lap, this Radiolab segment was never too far out of my mind, causing me to be tentative when I'd normally be relaxed.
Listen in and you'll find out why:
From Bryan Garner's, A Dictionary of Modern American Usage:
goddamned; goddam; goddamn; adj. Strictly speaking, the first form is the only correct one. Yet because of the way this word is spoken—the final -d usually being silent—the latter two spellings commonly appear in print. And since the prose in which such expletives occur is almost always informal, it would be pedantic to insist on goddamned. Further, the more loosely spelled forms make the word seem less literal, and therefore less offensive…
About 7 months ago I bought Jennifer McLagan's cookbook, Fat, ironically enough, while online at a militantly vegan coffee shop in Sweden. Aside from containing a recipe for the best roast chicken I've ever eaten, there is tons of information about the health benefits of eating moderate amounts of animal fats. To the French, this information would be painfully redundant, but it was all new and incredibly facinating to me. I read the entire cookbook in about a week. It wasn't long before I was taking advantage of my neighborhood butcher shop (seriously, one of my favorite things in Richmond) and cooking my potatoes in duck fat, making tortillas with fresh lard, and tossing noodles in melted Amish churned butter.
One particular passage in the book that caught my attention while reading through it was in regard to poultry fats and eating chicken soup when sick. McGlagan states that the fat found in home-made chicken stocks/broths (from good quality chickens of course) contains a fatty acid that boosts the immune system. Apparently, good chicken soup actually can help make you physically well (I just had an image of chicken flavored Emergen-C…so gross)! Considering I've been a bit under the weather recently I decided to test this theory out. Today I made from-scratch organic chicken soup (broth and all), with tomatoes, mushrooms, corn, and brown rice, amongst other things. And just in case that wasn't enough, I cooked some serrano cornbread in a skillet with hot bacon fat, you know, for health.
I feel better already!
I just rediscovered the Onion A.V. Club. I used to read it all the time but then I slowly stopped checking in, soon forgot about it in that way that it's so easy to forget about things on an internet overfilled and too chaotic to concentrate, to wear a path in the undergrowth. But last year the writers over at Onion A.V. Club made a list of their favorite records of '08, and, while I didn't love every artist included, it was a really good list, I actually learned about a lot of cool bands from it, bands I still like a lot a year later (Los Campesinos comes to mind). This year they have made a whole bunch of lists commemorating the best in entertainment of the decade. While I haven't looked at the all the lists, and while I definitely plan to skip entire sections (best comics, videogames), I do admire it. I admire anyone really who decides to make a list of stuff that he/she/they like. I like it when people like stuff and make their admiration public. Cause that's hard to do. It opens one up to criticism. It makes one vulnerable. And when genuine admiration is made public by an organization that has made its name in the business of satire (read: The Onion), well, I especially like that. I like it because The Onion doesn't need to like stuff. The Onion did just fine making fun of current events and telling jokes. In fact, they did/do more than just fine at it. They're excellent at it. I've been consistently laughing at The Onion since I was fifteen, since they were making fun of Clinton. Twelve whole years. And when one is good at satire, it's hard to do anything but. After all, satire is safe. Someone makes a mistake, you point it out humorously. Granted, there's a risk in all humor, a risk one's joke won't be percieved as funny, but in the world of telling jokes, the smallest risk to take is when the joke is on someone else. So when a satirist steps up to the plate with opinions, serious opinions, opinions that are subjective and can be disagreed with and reflect the values and judgement of said satirist, I often take that serious satirist…seriously. Because someone who makes fun of stuff for a living knows more than anyone how easy it is to find fault, to be critical, they get paid to do it after all, and when that person decides to voice an opinion, it's like stepping in front of the bullseye you usually shoot at. It's not done flippantly. Rather, it's done thoughtfully, it's done with the full knowledge of how vulnerable you are making yourself, because any other day of the week you'd be looking to find those vulnerabilities in others. When someone makes him/herself that vulnerable, knowing full well what it means, well, that's when I pay the closest attention.
I think I'm going to start reading the A.V. Club more often.
I'd also like to start making a point to be as eager with praise as I am with biting critique. It's a hard thing to do. Sometimes it's cheesey too. As cheesey as making New Years resolutions. Which I think I just accidentally did.

I can't believe I'm the first to rate this recipe...I've been a "My Recipes" advocate for years, all the way back to when the only way to get the recipes was by the Southern Living or Coastal Living magazines (no internet)...yet, I've never posted a review of any recipe.... The Seafood Risoto and Champagne Citrus Beurre Blanc is probably the BEST we've ever had! I followed the risotto almost exactly except that I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and, I used a combination of tarragon and basil (no chervil). I omitted the lobster and used only chopped shrimp, instead of the whole shrimp. As for the Champagne Citrus Beurre Blanc, I followed it exactly, including the fresh citrus juices...with white wine that I had on hand, and cut back on the butter only by a few tablespoons. I might try less as this is an incredibly amount of butter to use in one recipe. We used cod instead of grouper. It is restaurant quality tasteful and impressive and I'll definitely make it again!!

The Milestone ListPosted by Aarti on February 25th, 2013 . Filed under: Uncategorized .
As you guys may or may not know, I'm nose-deep in writing my very first cookbook (aaaaaaggghhh!) at the moment. It should be available sometime in 2014. Which sounds like a long way off but since the deadline to hand in my manuscript is this May, I'm chugging along like a little tank engine. Toot toot!
So many people ask me what my cookbook is about. Frankly, I'm never sure how to answer.
"Well, um, it's just about the way I cook, which is a hodgepodge of cooking traditions," is the best I can muster.
How would YOU describe the way I cook? That would actually be pretty helpful to me!!
Anyway, I am writing lots of stories in this book. I'm sort of telling my story through the food — how food rescued me when I felt like I was worthless, direction-less, hopeless… in the hopes that somehow that story would be a comfort to someone, encourage someone who might be feeling the same way.
In planning out some of the stories I want to tell, I wrote down some milestones in my life, starting with my ancestors and ending with where I am now. As I looked over the list, I marveled at how almost everything in my life has fed into my position now… every skill, every weakness, every strength, every upset, every heartbreak, every victory. It was almost poetic, a work of art.
There's always been a little resistance in my spirit when people told me everything happens for a reason — sure, it's true but it always seemed like a hollow platitude, a limp blanket to place around one's shivering shoulders, especially when they're shivering from feeling like they're outside the warmth of God's orbit.
And yet, as I look over those milestones, I cannot help but see His hand at work. It is startling, humbling and the perfect antidote to that cynical side of me that wanted to eschew that blanket.
What a comfort, what a joy! Even when my life seemed to be in shambles, when I felt like I was drifting aimlessly away from any sense of order or orbit… He didn't let me out of His grasp. Even when I had no idea who He was, or perhaps more truthfully, when I knew who He was but wanted nothing to do with Him… He stayed close. What patience. What grace!
And now, when I cannot see the horizon for all the fog and clouds in my way, what comfort it is to look back, to remember how I got here… and realise that it doesn't matter that I can't see the road before me. It's not FOR me to see! It's just for me to reach out for His hand, look up into His marvelous face and step forward knowing that no matter what is ahead of me, I am still in His orbit. And there is no safer place in all creation than that. Thank You Lord.
If you haven't written out a milestone list for your own life, I encourage you to do so. Even if your past is darkened by pain and sadness, you are not out of God's grasp. Reach out your hand, dear heart. I promise you, He's right next to you.

Mission Hills... Unique simplicity and updated design blend to compliment your home. This collection was inspired by the American Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century.
About the Designer
Kathy Ireland
"I can't remember a time when design wasn't a major influence in my life. Nature is my greatest inspiration. I began sketching before learning math and reciting the alphabet. When I was about 8 years old, my mother designed halter dresses that we would bring to craft shows, and I was allowed the opportunity of designing handbags and jewelry to enhance the outfits. My first sale was very precious. Being compensated as a designer was and continues to be a delight. Whenever I experience something that our firm designed being worn or living in a client's home, the thrill never lessens. Modeling was never on my radar. I wanted to be the client! My fashion career exposed me to the globe and some of the most talented people in the world. Vera Wang was responsible for me working at Vogue; Scavullo photographed my Cosmopolitan cover, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Avedon---all taught me so much. Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein were all companies that I worked for. My greatest mentors in life and fashion include my Mother, Barbara, who has exquisite taste, my Father, John who taught me the economics of fashion and economic realities of retail. It can be ugly, when people aren't honest... Jule Campbell from Sports Illustrated and Elizabeth Taylor continue to be true blessings in my life. Elizabeth took me by the hand and demanded that I express myself in a bolder, more powerful way. 'Beige is not the inner you. People will take you seriously even when you're designing something wonderful, feminine and sexy. You can also wear it! I miss and treasure Elizabeth every day,' " explained Kathy Ireland about her passion for design that launched, kathy ireland® Worldwide. Kathy Ireland, is CEO and Chief Designer of kathy ireland Worldwide® (kiWW®), a design and marketing firm. Forbes Magazine reports kiWW® as a "2 billion dollar business model". License Global Magazine names kiWW® the 25th most powerfully licensed brand, globally. kiWW® offers designs in Fashion, Weddings, Home, Office and More... According to Fairchild Publications, the "supermodel turned supermogul" is one of the 50 most influential people in fashion.

I think the delirium of sitting in the same place at the same tiny table since 930am is starting to kick in….hence, the increase in posts and decrease in productivity lol.
Anyway, I've made Eon Cafe my home all day for two days straight…and staring at my work gets tiring, so I often find myself gazing outside to see the gorgeous sunny weather tease me or people watching. If you sit the cafe's hours practically for its entirety from near open to close, you see a lot of different things and different people shuffle in (families, students diligently pounding the keys on their laptops and licking their fingers as they thumb through pages and pages, elderly couples drinking tea, eating pastries, and reading the newspaper and bouncing off ideas as they attempt to tackle the daily crossword, runners, etc.). You hear a lot of different conversations and the blending of accents and topics.
But one thing that I really wanted to note before the thought slips my mind…hopefully, I don't sound too much like a creeper lol…is that one of my favorite cafe visitors has got to be couples with their newly born (or at least very young) babies. They grab a tiny cup of coffee, tea, what have you…they cozy up in a little table and place their baby carriage on the adjacent chair.
And then they just sit and stare. They wrap up their babies in blankets and cute winterwear (a pink beanie with a cheesy giant pink flower proudly standing atop their baby's tiny little head). 30 minutes. No talking…just sharing in a silent gaze at the little tiny bundle of life in their arms.
It makes me smile because I can just sit here and almost experience their joy. 30 minutes of silence…and I can honestly say this happens with almost every couple and baby that comes in. It's really an endearing sight.
And then I look away and pretend to take sips of my finished, empty eon coffee cup (my prop, so that I don't feel so bad taking up space all day lol) so I don't look like a freaking creeper hahaha.
Anyway, my brother needs to have a baby already…so I can have a baby to constantly spoil lol. (jk jk! haha).
New life though…it's refreshing!
