text: Mar28 c.r.musicthrowbackstaten islandwatch Throwback video: C.R. (1997) Most people, even ones who live in NYC, don't know shit about Staten Island. They think they do, but what they have is a very narrow, very caricatured view of the borough. (Seriously, if you want examples of the misguided prejudice, feel free to read the rantings from the narrow-minded NYC transplant shitheads who frequent the BrooklynVegan comment section.) And while a lot of the stereotypes about the Island are true (there are TONS of asshole guidos out there, TONS), a lot of cool shit has also gone down there too. In the late 90s, a venue called The Joint, which was basically just an empty hall on a sketchy block, hosted tons of great touring and local bands every Friday night for only a few bucks. It was a great DIY space run by a guy named Freedom and it was where I saw my first punk shows. Maybe you're familiar with the Staten Island-based hardcore band, C.R. Then again, maybe you're not. If not, this video is a good introduction to them. In 1997, they played the above set and pretty much knocked a new asshole into everyone in the place. They opened up by playing basically the first half of the Minor Threat discography and then played their own songs, including an Infest cover. So if you want to know about the actual Staten Island, the one that exists outside of reality TV, here's a good place to start. Also, as I'm required by law to state: Wu-Tang for life.

The cost to take a yellow cab in New York City is about to go up.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission voted on Thursday to raise taxi fares by an average of 17 percent, the first major increase in eight years. The new fares are expected to go into effect in September.
The cost of a fare between Manhattan and Kennedy International Airport will rise by $7, to $52, exclusive of tolls and tip. The surcharge on rides to Newark Liberty International Airport will also go up, to $17.50 from $15.
Six members of the commission voted in favor; two voted against, and one abstained. The commission also approved a small adjustment in the amount that taxi owners can charge cabbies to rent their vehicles for a shift.
But the higher fares will go directly toward higher wages for cabbies, whose pay has lagged behind inflation. Read more…

Findings for PPC in Santa Clara
Santa Clara Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Santa Clara was the 173rd least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of September 2014. Santa Clara also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in California, ranking as number 39th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 16% Lower in Santa Clara than Burbank
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Santa Clara are 16% lower than in Burbank. The average price of a click in Santa Clara is $8.37.
This price difference is interesting though, given the population of Burbank is less than Santa Clara.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Evansville, and found the average price of a click in Santa Clara was 11% lower than in Evansville.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

A worthy canvas, a brushes' tooth,

In solemn reflective manner, yours only.

Let's call it "resume enhancement": a tendency to exagerate where one worked and / or what qualifications one has in order to impress a potential employer. I mean, how likely is the interviewer to actually check if you spent two weeks — instead of the two years listed on your resume — at Bar X? Or to see if you worked at Restaurant X at all?
Well, people do check. Case in point: A hotel manager in Beijing recently told me he had two candidates for his F&B outlets that looked like excellent hires — until he did a background check and found some, ahem, resume enhancement.
Few places would look better on such a resume than a stint at famed El Bulli in Spain, considered by many to be the best restaurant of the past decade. El Bulli is also far from Beijing, not to mention now closed, thus if someone were applying for here and claiming experience at this place, it might prove difficult to check.
Here's one way: Jordi Valles of Spanish restaurant Agua in Nali Patio sent me the staff rosters for El Bulli from 1996 to 2011. Does that mean an absence from these lists means no link to the restaurant? Not necessarily. I'm sure El Bulli had some guest stints or training sessions, but this is certainly a starting point if you are hiring and see El Bulli under "work experience". And if you did work there, El Bulli would like to hear from you.

Summer Jumper Recipe
Here is my last knitting love… the "Green or Purple or Both" Jumper I just finished and put up on my ravelry page:
I made it up while knitting, as I usually do (this is one of the things I love about knitting a garment that is knit top-down: You try it on and think… "hey, why not put some narrower stripes around the high waist to accentuate it"? and then when making the sleeves it occurs to you that the same stripes on the same height but in reverse colours would be an even better idea!!!)
Anyway, I used the "classic top-down set-in sleeve sweater formula" that I found in Wendy Bernard's book custom knits. I really like her method, since it allows you to try it on while you work and you usually end up with perfect set-in sleeves and a very well fitting jumper (or cardigan)!
I thought about writing a pattern for this jumper, but alas! I neither have the patience nor the time to make calculations for different sizes and stuff…
I used DK weight cotton (about 400 yards of white and 420 yards of a variegated colour) and a 4mm circular needle for the main parts and a 3mm circular needle for the ribbing of the sleeves.
My gauge was 24sts x 28 rows for 10x10cm with the 4mm needle.
With this specific method you start knitting the back with a provisional cast on till you reach the armholes. Then you make the fronts by picking up the stitches from your provisional cast on. You have to make each front separately till you reach the point where the neckline closes, which is after the armholes in this specific pattern. So you knit first the back to the armholes, then one front to the armholes, then the other front again to the armholes and then you put all together on your circular needle and knit back and forth till you finish the neckline. Only then everything is knitted in the round and you continue till the bottom of your jumper.
Edit Nov. 2013: I have taken down the longwinded description/notes of this jumper, since it was very amateurishly written and quite hard to follow.
I don't think that I will write an update for this specific garment.

On September 18, 2011, the Pittsburgh Panthers and Syracuse Orange were accepted by the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to be its 13th and 14th members.
ACC commissioner John Swofford explained the additions:
"Pittsburgh and Syracuse serve to enhance the ACC's reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania and geographically bridges our footprint between Maryland and Massachusetts. With the addition of Pitt and Syracuse, the ACC will cover virtually the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States."
The Big East Conference was dealt a huge blow with the loss of two of the league's vital pieces, especially for basketball. As a member of the Big East, Syracuse had made 28 NCAA Tournament appearances, four Final Fours, and won the National Championship in 2003. They had been Big East regular-season champions nine times and won the conference tournament five times.
Pitt, meanwhile, has made 18 NCAA Tournament appearances, had been Big East regular season champions six times (four times since 2002), and won the conference tournament twice.
Many questioned how these teams would fit into ACC basketball life, as Syracuse brought in their famed 2-3 zone while Pitt toted their rugged, physical style of play. At times, with regards to Pitt, I would hear, "That style of play isn't going to cut it in ACC territory."
Though we currently have a very small sample size to work from, I would say that Pitt and Syracuse are doing just fine in their new conference home. Let's recap both teams' first season in the ACC thus far:
The No. 22 Panthers are currently 16-1 with a 4-0 ACC record. Though many have questioned their non-conference schedule, it is hard to argue against a team with a record like Pitt's.
Pitt (current RPI of 16 and SOS of 116) has won 14 of its 16 games by 10-plus points. In the Legends Classic, Pitt dismantled Texas Tech 76-53 and blew out a pretty tough Stanford team 88-67. Stanford recently knocked off No. 17 Oregon. In the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Pitt took care of rival Penn State 78-69. Pitt's only blemish comes from a 44-43 loss to current No. 19 Cincinnati (16-2) in the Jimmy V Classic.
In ACC play, Pitt overcame a 17-2 deficit on the road against NC State to win 74-62. Pitt welcomed Maryland into "the Pete" with a 79-59 victory, followed by a 80-65 win over Wake Forest. On Tuesday night, Pitt went into Georgia Tech and outrebounded the Yellow Jackets 38-18 en route to a 81-74 win. I can guarantee you that the Oakland Zoo is ready to welcome No. 23 Duke into the Peterson Events Center on Jan. 27.
The No. 2 Syracuse Orange are 17-0 with a 4-0 ACC record. Syracuse (current RPI of 7 and SOS of 90) has blown out Minnesota 75-67 and knocked off California 92-81 to win the Maui Invitational. They defeated No. 12 Baylor 74-67, and blew out Indiana 69-52 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Orange have also beaten No. 6 Villanova, a former Big East foe, 78-62.
In ACC play, Syracuse beat Miami 49-44 in a low-scoring affair, followed by a 72-52 blowout of Virginia Tech on the road. They then welcomed the North Carolina Tar Heels and pretty much had their way against an ACC powerhouse, winning 57-45. This was followed up by a 69-59 win at Boston College.
Going into the season, Syracuse was expected to be a top-10 team, but I thought the ACC was supposed to give Pitt trouble? Pitt had not even been ranked until this past week.
So far, the only bad break for Pitt was the loss of arguably the best sixth man in the conference, as 6-foot-6 sophomore guard Durand Johnson (8.8 ppg) suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. ACC teams should be glad that 7-foot center Steven Adams declared for the NBA Draft last year and was taken at 12th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It has also been interesting to see Pitt and Syracuse fans congratulating each other on their teams' successes thus far. Instead of the former Big East teams having to adjust to ACC style, it appears that the rest of the ACC needs to adjust to the two former Big East powerhouses that have entered ACC country.
Jamie Dixon's Panthers are led by 6-foot-5 senior guard Lamar Patterson (17.6 ppg, 4.6 apg) and 6-foot-9 senior center Talib Zanna (13.0 ppg, 8.1 rbg). 6-foot-4 junior guard Cameron Wright (10.8 ppg), 6-foot-3 sophomore point guard James Robinson (8.1 ppg, 4.1 apg) and 6-foot-8 freshmen forward Michael Young (6.1 ppg) round out the starting lineup.
Jim Boeheim's Orange are led by 6-foot-8 senior forward C.J. Fair (17.1 ppg, 5.8 rbg) and 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Trevor Cooney (14.1 ppg). 6-foot-8 sophomore forward Jerami Grant (12.5 ppg, 6.6 rbg), 6-foot-2 freshmen guard Tyler Ennis (11.6 ppg, 5.6 apg), and 6-foot-9 junior forward Rakeem Christmas (5.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg) are important contributors for Syracuse.
Jamie Dixon has a career 10-4 record against Jim Boeheim and has won six of his last eight games at Syracuse. That is pretty impressive.
Pitt and Syracuse have had heavyweight clashes, vying for first place in the Big East over the years. Now, both teams have taken their act to the ACC and will battle for first place in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPN at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Carrier Dome.
Regardless of the winner, hopefully both teams continue to have success and make noise in the Big Dance in March.

Parks Associates research shows women dominate digital media usage in the connected home
Women's digital media habits outpaced men's in 2011, according to international research firm Parks Associates, which reports that women share more content online and download more movies and music than men. For example, women are 73% more likely than men to have watched a full-length TV show online in the past 30 days.
The research firm's Consumer Decision Process found women also have higher purchase intentions than men for almost all of the popular CE devices, with one-fifth of women surveyed planning to purchase a laptop or a smartphone. Once women own a CE product, their usage evolves from practical and social applications to include all categories of usage.
"Women are frequently the product buyers - and once she owns a CE product, she becomes a heavy user, most particularly for devices that allow sharing and uploading content and downloading TV programs," said Tricia Parks, CEO, Parks Associates. "CE manufacturers are picking up on this changed buyer, offering their products, particularly their mobile ones, in more colors and styles with more personalized accessories."
Women's gaming activity increased overall and especially after the purchase of a smartphone or tablet. Women are 40% more likely than men to play games on Facebook, and they have dramatically increased their activity on gaming consoles. They are the majority players on the Nintendo Wii, and nearly equal percentages of men and women own and play on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PS3. In general, women prefer different games than man, showing a preference for asynchronous multiplayer games, where each gamer can play at her leisure.
"Reaching this consumer segment is critical to the success of CE manufacturers and service providers in 2012," Parks said. "Give women practical and social reasons to buy, and as night follows day, their purchase and high usage follow."

The top executive at M&T Bank Corp. told shareholders today that he takes "full responsibility" for issues relating to the bank's anti-money laundering compliance program and the subsequent delay of the Hudson City Bancorp Inc. acquisition.
Robert Wilmers, chairman and CEO of the Buffalo financial institution, described the situation as a "setback" that may be overcome once the bank improves the procedures, systems and processes of the Bank Secrecy Act and its anti-money laundering compliance.
"Although no situation was identified where M&T Bank may have been used as a conduit for money laundering, the scope and depth of our BSA/AML program must be enhanced before we can obtain regulatory approval for the proposed merger," Wilmers said. "Accordingly, we have commenced a major initiative, including the hiring of an outside consulting firm, intended to fully address the Federal Reserve's concerns."
M&T announced April 12 that it expects the pending acquisition of New Jersey's Hudson City Bancorp to be delayed because the Fed has identified regulatory issues with the bank's anti-money laundering compliance program. The bank has not specified the exact nature of the Fed's concerns, citing the confidentiality of discussions between the bank and the Fed. What's been made clear is that the bank must fix the issues before the Fed will approve the deal.
M&T and Hudson City have agreed to extend the termination date by which the parties must complete the $3.7 billion deal to Jan. 31, 2014, five months later than the original termination date.
"The delay is unfortunate," Wilmers said. "Nevertheless, I take this matter seriously and take full responsibility. Let me assure you that M&T's executive management, as well as our board of directors, is fully engaged and committed to resolving the BSA/AML matter and completing the Hudson City transaction."
In addition to hiring a consultant, M&T is also hiring more staff to help address the concerns. Wilmers could not say how many new employees are being brought on board.
Shareholders of M&T stock approved the planned acquisition today in a special meeting following the annual meeting. Shareholders of Hudson City are scheduled to vote April 18 on the deal.
M&T is the largest bank in Western New York, deposit-wise. Officials have not been able to provide an anticipated closing date for Hudson City, saying their main focus right now is to deal with the Fed's concerns.

Atlanta had a deal on the table to make Bill Parcells the VP of football operations. It was a done deal. According to Parcells. Well, that deal is no more as Parcells has turned down the offer. In a statement released by Falcons Owner Arthur Blank, the owner confirmed that the Parcells deal was dead, after it was learned that Parcells was considering an offer from the Miami Dolphins.
According to the statement, the team had an agreement in principle with Parcells, but after he told the Falcons he was considering an offer from the Miami Dolphins, negotiations fell through.
"We gave it our best shot, and it didn't work out," Blank said
The next issue will be with where Parcells will go and what offer is he considering with Miami. Wayne Huizenga has held negotiations with at least one group about buying the team, that certainly would not likely be a consideration if Parcells was hired. Rumors had circulated early this season that team President Bryan Weidemeir may leave the Phins for Green Bay after the season.
News apparently broke during a team break and players immediately began watching the news as it unfolded.
The off-season for the Dolphins is still 2 weeks away from officially starting, looks like it will have every bit of the soap opera as last year. Stay "Tunaed" to Phinphanatic.com for ongoing updates of this development.

Matthew Prior
Biography of Matthew Prior
Matthew Prior, poet and diplomat, was born near Wimborne Minster, Dorset. His family moved to London while he was still a child. He was educated at Westminister School, but was taken out when his father died and apprenticed to his uncle, a tavern-keeper. In 1680 he went to Cambridge on a scholarship from the Earl of Dorset and while there he co-wrote with Charles Montague, The Hind and the Panther Transversed to the Story of the Country and City Mouse (1687), a burlesque on Dryden's Hind and the Panther which cuts it down to size by making it absurd.
Prior held various diplomatic posts, and in 1700 entered parliament with the Tories. He was Ambassador at Paris when he was recalled at the death of Queen Anne in 1715, and imprisoned for two years. During his time in prison he composed Alma or the Progress of the Mind (1715), a sceptical and humorous poem for which he is best known today. A folio edition of his work was published in 1719 and secured him a profit of 4000 guineas. He died in 1921 in Down Hall which he had purchased two years previously. At its best his work stands alongside Swift, and was admired by Samuel Johnson and William Cowper. He is buried in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.

Shredded Korean radish and kimchee pancakes with dipping sauce—you can't beat FRIED DOUGH!
A quick ssamjang lunch—crispy tong dak (fried chicken nuggets) wrapped in fresh Romaine lettuce with a generous schmear of sweet, hot and tangy ssamjang sauce… that is all I have to report
Gluten-free, hot and delicious kimchee pajeon with bacon—I made batter from my pureed fermented Korean radish, Levine's General Store house-blend GF flour and a little sugar to make these savory Korean scallion pancake.
Wasabi-rubbed Brussels Sprouts Mul Kimchee—I'm reshooting some of the earlier photos for my cookbook (Korean Tapas for the American Table). Mul (water in Korean) kimchee is usually a non-spicy and prized for its fermented broth. It's usually served in summer as a refreshing cold soup. I love the addition of wasabi paste… you talk about flavor explosion.
Beulwisel Kongnamul (브뤼셀 콩나물) is the word for "Brussels sprouts" in Korean. No one may ver remember the name but they'll never forget the deep tangy flavor of Brussels sprouts kimchee. These bad boys will be ready in a few short weeks.
A simple lunch is sometimes the best, like this humble kimchee bowl—roasted chicken leg over steamed white rice and peas with a generous helping of Napa cabbage kimchee (beachu).
Kimchee pulled pork on red slaw and corn cake waffle—this is how we celebrate Independence Day in Brooklyn. This pork shoulder was marinate and slow cooked in a sauce made from kimchee juice. The only thing that could make this better is a big iced tea and more kimchee. Chow down!
Pupusas de kimchee con huevo cosido—I think everything is better with an egg. There's a small trick to stuffing these Salvadorian griddle cakes. Start by rolling masa dough into a 3" ball. With the ball in your left hand make an indent with your right thumb (or visa versa). Form a shallow cup that has a thickness of 3/8 of an inch. Fill and pack well to remove any air pockets. Pinch the top closed and flatten between both hands until you get a smooth, even cake. It's not hard to do but it does take practice. Sear then in a hot pan and eat up!
Is it kosher? I made kimchee bialies, but instead of the using onion and poppy seed paste I made one with Napa cabbage kimchee (beachu), garlic, onion and poppy seeds. Served toasted with miso and white bean spread, cherry tomatoes and shaved sopressata—It's not kosher but… ZOMG! This definitely goes into my ePUB cookbook.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has joined the Covington and Burling LLP law firm's Washington, D.C., office as senior of counsel, the firm announced on March 26. He will work in the white-collar defense and investigations group.
Chertoff was named to the top homeland security post by President George W. Bush in January 2005, replacing former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge. The department opened in March 2003 as a conglomeration of 22 federal agencies and 180,000 employees. Chertoff took on leadership of major programs including airport security, border security, Real ID Act and disaster preparedness and response.
Chertoff served from 2003 to 2005 as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He previously served as the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Justice Department, where he oversaw the investigation of the 2001 terrorist attacks and formed the Enron Task Force.
Chertoff, who graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School, also served more than a decade as a federal prosecutor, including as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. He will work in Covington's white-collar defense and investigations group."Mike Chertoff is first and foremost a lawyer of considerable renown. His legal and public service, including his crisis management experience, make him a unique asset for senior executives," Bruce Baird, chair of Covington's white-collar practice, said in the release. "Mike is uniquely qualified to help executives who must understand and manage issues that have national, cross-border, legal and public policy implications."
"What attracted me to Covington was the firm's international reach, impressive list of clients, and collegial atmosphere," Chertoff said in a statement. "I am looking forward to working with clients that face complex criminal and regulatory enforcement investigations, and other forms of legal crisis."

I really wanted to like this product because of all the great reviews but it hurts so much when I put it on and it gives me a little rash. I've never been allergic to any products before so I'm not sure if this is normal or not. It is not a relaxing experience by any means.

I have been using it for the past 6 months. Or rather trying to use it up. It smells great. It's somewhat easy to apply (apart from these falling off green tea leaves). My good points stop there. It's really abrasive if you try to use it as a scrub. In a bad way. At least my skin can not take it. I break out every single time I use it. And it's not purging. It's fine as a mask as long as I use it as such - applying and washing it off. But then again I don't really see any particularly amazing results from it. A rather dissapointing result for such an expensive mask/scrab. Not going to repurchase. Probably going to bin the unfinished pot as well. Or use it up on my feet - it's abrasive enough for that.

I give it 3 stars, because:
It's a nice mask, I purchased it and started right away. After 2 minutes you feel this stuff "tingle" and it makes you glow after you rinsed it off. I would give it 5 stars if the glow stayed for more then 1 day. It's nice when you are preparing for a night out.

I ask my" go to girl" in Sephora for a mask to help with blackheads. She went right to this product. Gave me a large sample. When it first went on, there was some tingling. A little strong. Then as it started to dry it felt good. I could actually see it in action on my nose and chin. The rinse off took some time. The result was way more than I expected. Cystic acne on my chin and cheek were noticeably smaller, and healed the next day. Pores on nose and chin were clean. Will I be investing? Yes! I'm not a easy customer with beauty products, but this is really a winner for me.

When I first tried a sample of this, I did not know it had pieces of leaves in it. I rinsed a bit down the sink thinking it was a bad tube and some had solidified. Well, when I did realize it's leaves, I applied it and I felt like an elf or fairy with ivy leaves on my face, frolicking in the woods. This mask basically is like a mask and exfoliant in one. It did leave my skin looking glowy and good. You could probably use Queen Helene mint julep mask followed by their scrub and get similar results, but I do like this stuff. It multitasks.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Red Eyes: Blue
I first got this as a sample, and loved the feel of using it and the results so much I bought a full size for myself and as a gift for my mother in law.
I used it as a mask, then as I rinsed I used it like a scrub. I liked the smell and the gritty texture. It burned just a tiny bit but felt very effective. I loved the end result! and my husband even said my face looked bright and fresh right after I used it.
Although I love this product I dont know if Ill buy again because it is soooo expensive for such a tiny amount of product.
Pros: Great exfoliator with tea leaves and pumice in the mix
Leaves skin feeling fresh, glowing and toned
made my pores look much smaller (temporarily)
Skin really looks refreshed, toned and refined right after use
Pleasant smell and tingle
Results are not long lasting.
Super expensive product (75USD) for one little jar
the jar is only HALF FULL (if even half!), half the bottom of the jar is just solid glass. and its packaged in a big box (Very wasteful packaging). So when you first buy it you feel you're getting a pound of the stuff, when in reality you only get like 3 tablespoons at most. Once full size jar lasted me about 8-10 full face and neck applications
I use the Aztec Secret mixed with ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) regularly. It is super cost effective and its kind of clarifying and toning. I helps dry out my very oily skin. BUT I must say I loved the GLAM YouthMud waaaaay more. Sadly, It is definitely a splurge item. I may buy again, and resist the urge to use it except for before special occasions or social outings.

I first used this product as a sample and loved it -i loved it so much that I used it on my wedding day!
I am surprised by the poor reviews. I bought the full product and I use this as a spot treatment on zits, and as an overall mask.
It tingles at first (for me it doesn't burn) then slowly hardens. When you wash it off it is a very nice exfoliant.
It gives me a beautiful glow, makes my skin very soft and smooth, and makes my zits smaller and less red. I feel like the volcanic clay ingredient sucks up the oil from the zit... I love it!
Bulky packaging, high price and a small amount of actual product are definite draw backs, but for me the glow and zit-killing makes it worth it.

Holy face burn!! I received a sample of this and did not even keep on for a full minute, the directions state there will be a "tingle-tastic tightening effect" but all I felt was my skin on fire. I rinsed immedately with cold water. And I don't even have sensitive skin.
Will never purchase this.

First of all, this product looks revolting. It's the color of mud, which is fine, but it has these weird leaf like pieces in it and does not apply evenly. I literally gagged while putting it on my face. Beyond that, I didn't think this was any different than any Freeman clay mask I have used. I would never recommend this to anyone.

1/1 Photo of Turkey Stuffing With Very Low Sodium
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
40 mins

Great tasting stuffing with very low sodium, suitable for heart patients, but anyone can enjoy this. Good texture, too. From Donald Gazzaniga's "The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook." This is only a challenge to "the slowest choppers in the Western Hemisphere" who don't have a food processor handy. Anyone else can slash my preparation time. To keep the sodium very low, it is important to make your own very-low sodium bread, such as Italian Milano Sourdough Bread from the same book. In a pinch, use a low-sodium white bread, some groceries stock it.
