Eggless Sugar Cookies:
This post might contradict the previous post about going grainfree but I did mention that we do treat ourselves to an occasional parleG or marie biscuit(lets be nice and add an odd cookie to that mix,ok?)
Needless to say when I first thought of baking cookies I did a whole lot of searching and finally settled on Amanda's sugar cookie and icing recipes. All the decorating ideas inspiration came from various sources - some of them being Bridget of bakeat350, Amanda of iambaker and Pinterest and cookieartisan's flickr photostream !!! Each and everyone are unique and oh so beautiful!
While I do enjoy blog hopping and recipe favoriting(it's not even a word), pinning and repinning(that's not a word either) what I also like doing is, baking. I like trying out those absolutely amazing recipes and sharing it with everyone around me. I love the concept of baking because of all the sometimes simple and sometimes intricate pre-baking activities involved and watching the final product evolve to perfection under high heat away from the inquisitive eye. It has also made consuming vegetables so much easier for me.
Take today for example - I made one of my previous recipe but with a new twist - I put in more and different veggies, added almond meal and grated carrots instead of all purpose flour, minus the pasta(to add the grainfree aspect) and I finally realized that I was actually combining my vegetable parmesan pasta cake with the veggie cupcake and it was pretty good!
Goal reached - grainfree.
Taste - not compromised.
Cook's state of mind - Happy Yappy
With all the above theory what I'm trying to get at is that the ingredients in your pantry are merely tools that you can choose to create anything you like. So the last 2 times I baked the Sugar cookies I couldn't share them with (r)oomie even for the taste session and that made me sad. So I decided that the next time I baked cookies they'd be eggless. Now all I needed to do was find the right substitute. If you google it you'll find many many substitutes but I wanted one that wouldn't influence the taste, flavour, structure or texture. I decided on the Buttermilk substitute. It works great as you will see when you try it and it does not affect the smell/texture in noticeable anyway. If you do happen to try it out - do let me know your thoughts and feedback. We can work on how to make it better and I'm always open for more ideas.
Eggless Sugar Cookies for the Man of the home ;)
What you will need:
Flour - 3 Cups(I used 2 initially and when I started mixing the ingredients realized that I needed 1 whole cup extra for the right dough consistency. I had an email exchange with Amanda asking her for help when my dough consistency wasn't right the 1st time and she replied saying "Add more flour!! Depending on the humidity, I have had to add as much a a cup and a half more flour to get the desired consistency. Hope that helps!")
Baking Powder - 1 Tsp
Baking Soda - 1Tsp
Salt - 1/8th Tsp
Unsalted Butter - 1 Cup(at room temperature)
Brown sugar - 1 Cup(You can use any kind of sugar you like and vary the quantity depending on how sweet you like the cookie to be. I prefer less sweet because of all the icing that's going to be on it.)
Pure Vanilla extract - 1/2 Tsp(or maybe even less if you don't like too much vanilla flavour.)
**Milk – 1 Cup less 1 tablespoon (I used low fat organic milk. You can use whole milk too if you like)
**White Vinegar – 1 Tbsp (btw white vinegar isn't white - its transparent #JustMakingAnObservation)
Add the **White Vinegar to the **Milk and keep aside for about 5 minutes. You'll notice that the milk has curdled and this is the Buttermilk Substitute which in turn is an Egg substitute.
Electric hand mixer
Plastic food wrap
Baking tray
Parchment paper – optional
Silpat – optional
Cookie cutters
Rolling pin
All purpose flour for dusting the cookie cutters
Dough Prep Procedure:
· Pre-heat your oven to 350 F at least ½ before you are ready to bake. I usually turn it on when I put the cookie dough in the fridge because my oven takes time to heat up.
· Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt in a bowl.
· In a separate glass bowl cream the butter and sugar until fluffy – I used an electric hand mixer on low and medium for about 3-4 minutes.
· Add the Vanilla extract and beat for a minute to combine.
· Now add the Buttermilk substitute and continue mixing on low. You will notice the mix looking all weird like crumbled cheese and separated water – Don't worry – you didn't do anything wrong.
· Add the sifted flour mix in 2-3 batches and mix on low and speed to medium. The dough will be slightly sticky and so it might be a little too much for the hand mixer to handle. Be careful not to overmix.
· Once you get the mix to a doughy consistency, I suggest that you use your hand to gently knead the mixture to form a ball. Slightly flatten it to form a disc shape and wrap it in plastic food wrap and put it in the fridge for about an hour to overnight or maybe a whole day even!
The cooler your cookie dough when it goes into the oven the less your cookie will spread.
Also placing it in the fridge to rest will help the gluten to relax and your cookie will not be all rubbery.
Placing your dough in the fridge also makes the dough firmer – making it easy to handle and gives the dough enough time to absorb all the flavours.
On that note Rosie of Sweetapolita has some awesome cookie baking tips.
Once you are ready to start baking make sure your oven is pre heated. If not turn it on NOW! And take out the dough from the fridge and unwrap it.
Prepare your baking trap by lining it with parchment paper or silpat.
Clean up some space on your kitchen counter and dust it with some flour. Place the disc shaped dough and flatten it a bit more with your hand.
Roll it out as evenly as you can. Dust the cookie cutter and start cutting out the shapes. The cookie cutter is dusted to avoid the dough from sticking to it.
Once you have your cookies on the baking tray, put it in the oven and bake at 350 F for about 10-12 minutes. The longer you bake the harder and browner it gets.
Once done, let your cookies cool completely before you start icing them.
I followed Amanda's icing recipe except for the fact that I used Wilton's gel colouring. I had a small email exchange with Bridget this morning about the taste factor and she suggested that the difference in taste could be because of the brand. I am looking at switching to Americolor next time.
You can decorate it any way you like and I have used the detailed tips from Bridget.
I usually do the outline of all the cookies first and then the flooding and finally any little detailing I can manage. Also I followed this mess free icing idea I got from Pinterest.

'Potter' in Review — Published in The Columbus Dispatch Monday, July 11
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be released later this week, and 'Potter in Review' is the perfect way to refresh your memory before heading the theater.
In my Layout and Design class, we worked with staff artist Charlie Zimkus at The Columbus Dispatch to create features for the paper's Life & Arts section. The assignment included brainstorming topics, pitching the ideas to Charlie, and, of course, researching, writing and creating a full feature. The folks at The Dispatch liked my feature enough to publish it!
This is probably one of my favorite features. I love Harry Potter and I love any research that involves watching the Potter films. It was certainly a challenge to condense the plots into 60 words or so.
I'm so honored that Charlie and the editors at The Dispatch chose my feature. If you need a Potter review yourself, you can read the complete article on the Dispatch's website.
As a side note, I do not work for The Dispatch. This was a freelance project as a result of classroom collaboration. I would like to thank The Columbus Dispatch, especially Charlie Zimkus who worked with me and helped see this project through to publication. My design professor Julie Elman and the VisCom Design Class of 2011 also deserve recognition. Without their feedback and help, this page would still be a hot mess.

A must for every pet. Like a microchip it could save your pet from ending up at the animal control. Not every cat wears collar though. My cats are among those pets who would not wear anything around their necks. So their pretty ID tags are not being used at all.
Pros: Identifies an animal
Cons: None

Publisher Comments:
Private eye Noah Braddock has finally found peace in his once tumultuous relationship with Detective Liz Santangelo and has called a tentative truce with his alcoholic mother, Carolina. So when lawyer Darcy Gill demands that he look into a hopeless death row case, he's more interested in catching some waves before San Diego's rare winter weather takes hold. Then Darcy plays her trump card: the man scheduled to die--convicted of killing two men in cold blood--is the father Noah never knew.

Introducing Doris, the first of her name. The lead-in lady for a series about rocknroll women that I've been wanting to draw for ages. I wanted some strong looking wahine to go with the Turbojugend koruru shirt design. They could stand on their own as strong identities or together as one unified piece. And our Doris is the first of these.
She's a green lady, with long flowing hair. I don't necessarily want to reinforce female stereotypes (far from it), I like drawing long hair because there's lots of lines. And I like linework in vectors. They're really relaxing to draw. Doris is comfortably seated on the back of a manaia, swathed in a red ribbon that reads 'In the Gutter'. A nod to the Black Chrome song 'Free Peep from the Gutter', and a bit of Oscar Wilde, too.
Doris is an old nickname. My punk rock gutter mates would use it to describe a certain type of girl who loves to do her hair and put on loads of makeup. Cough cough splutter. This was referred to as 'Doris-ing about'.
"Has Mel finished Doris-ing about, yet? Better pour us another drink, mate"
'Dorises' show up at your regular DIY punk gig, loaded with cider and ready to hear some fucking great music. It had better be fucking great, otherwise we're going back to the toilets to put on more eyeliner!
Here's some photos – of Doris the digital file, Doris the Print, Doris the Shirt and Doris the Shirt being worn at a gig by Jamaine Corpse in Black Chrome. Doncha just love the way these things go round in circles. Thanks for your support, mate!

Gnosis was a group exhibition featuring work by Mary MacGregor-Reid, Math Kabryn, Melanie Tahata (that's me!), Joel Bradley, Jared Holland, Abby Helasdottir and Steven Johnson Leyba.
It was held at at Nature: Art + Design, Newton, Auckland, from 18 October to 16 November, 2013.
Gnosis basically means to develop your own mode of deep critical thinking, maybe investing time in some esoteric or occult theories. Anyway, I was invited to be a part of this exhibition, by old friend and fellow Art School Girl of Doom, Mary MacGregor-Reid. I produced 3 large posters for the exhibition. They were all done in the style of the star skulls that I posted about here. This post is packed with photos, so I'll stop blithering and get on with it.
Pics of the prints at home, hanging in the gallery in Auckland and a glimpse of my artists' statement. A post about the Goat skull design is here.
This is where the Nature gallery was, on St. Benedict's Street in Newtown. Beautiful Auckland, days like that made me miss you.
This is obviously the fun bit. Hanging out with friends, old and new, was really awesome. Thank you to everyone who came along, Mary for being awesome and to Jared at Nature for currating the show.Gnosis - the group exhibition in AK http://wp.me/p4JypG-gz Gnosis was a group exhibition featuring work by Mary MacGregor-Reid, Math Kabryn, Melanie Tahata (that's me!), Joel Bradley, Jared Holland, Abby Helasdottir and Steven Johnson Leyba.
That got your attention. Please take a gander at this goat skull design.
Once upon a morning we went on a whanau walk through the whenua at Tawatapu, to hunt goats. I was armed with my camera! Anyone who has driven around the Wharerata Ranges knows that there are a fuckton of goats in the forest up there. I love goats. I could look at photos of them all day. This is probably why I never get much work done. Goats will be the new cats of the internet, mark my words! And please don't get me started on cats.
We saw a baby goat skull on the train tracks. It was sad – where was it's Mum? Where was it's whanau? What happened? These sorts of questions swirled in my head. Those sorts of questions are also one of the reasons I'd make a crap farmer. So I took a photo to remember the moment.
The photo forms the basis of this design. The Aotearoa 666 logo is used as a brush to bring the goat skull out of the darkness. Don't ask me how the extra face popped up the top there, it just did that. Stuff happens. As Lemmy would say.
This is one of my personal favourites; the photo comes straight out of Tawatapu, also known as Bartletts, where my grandparents lived.
This design featured in the Gnosis exhibition and yes, it's also available as a t-shirt here.
Goats! New old blog post about the goat shirt design. http://wp.me/p4JypG-h8 That got your attention. Please take a gander at this goat skull design. The Story Once upon a morning we went on a whanau walk through the whenua at Tawatapu, to hunt goats.
Almost exactly a year ago, I drew this design to celebrate Matariki. (I've been furiously blogging a storm up in June 2014 to try and get this site up to date with my work – but have back dated everything).
Matariki, for me, is generally a time to reflect on those who have passed on, and the new year that awaits us. Unsurprisingly, it happens in the middle of winter, pretty close to the Winter Solstice.
So of course I thought a nice skull was in order. With eyes. One possible translation of Matariki is 'the eyes of God' so I took this literally in a pop-surrealist way. There's seven wrapped in this ghoul's hair, representing each star of the Matariki (Pleiades) cluster. And some blue frosty breath, leading to more representations of stars up above the banner. I like stars. I use one as a logo. Ahurr. The banner says Aotearoa 666, because well, why the hell not. Probably more user-friendly than Mel RULZ, innit.
Just to reach back in time again, I ran a giveaway on my Facebook page. And I gave away this hoody (which I photographed first before I sent it off to the winner in Australia) for Matariki! Awww, ain't I nice. I usually like to do things that coincide with my birthday or Matariki. Something for everyone. It used to be having a gig, but now it's all about the art, baby! Any excuse for a piss-up. In the spirit of totally contradicting myself, I'm not bothering to do a Facebook giveaway this year. I'm waiting until I get over one thousand likes before I start handing out the treats again. Seems like a worthy goal, plus I can procrastinate over what to give away for the rest of the year.
Here's some pics of the final design, and the hoody blowing in the wind. You can get an idea of how the printing process translates into fabric. It's still something that's a bit mysterious to me, pretty sure a visit to the printer would cure my curiousity. If you'd like to own of these – and I'm confident that you will ROCK IT – you can check out my t-shirt store here

Poster Ghouls – chicks who are skulls with hair wot have flames and hearts and were built (for speed) to go on rock n' roll posters.
I always thought my Deathpunk Ghoul looked a little lonely, so I drew some friends for her.
The first one is Tweeti Pai – a Maori transliteration of Sweetie Pie. She's purple, she's in love with the world and she's not just wearing her heart on her sleeve. They're in her hair, her eyes, or floating beside her. She was a lot of fun to draw, after a caffeine fuelled weekend, I believe. I tried not to go toooo overboard on the skull detailing, because I thought she might look like she had stubble! (Sorry DPG, you're still beautiful in my eyes). If you like the look of her shirt, you can buy one here.
Her friend is the Flame Ghoul. Yes, I did listen to Firewoman by The Cult rather a lot while I drew this. And the colours were definitely inspired by Flame Princess in Adventure Time. What would Flame Princess look like if she was a skull ghoul who listened to The Cult? Look no further. I gave her a Maori name too – Hana for Flame. You can find her here.Poster Ghouls Poster Ghouls - chicks who are skulls with hair wot have flames and hearts and were built (for speed) to go on rock n' roll posters.

Classic Cheddar Powder
Since we created Cabot cheddar powder, popcorn has never been the same. But what about sharing the shake with your favorite sauces, veggies, soups, dips, pasta, and salads?
This stuff is great. Granted, I've only used it on top of popcorn, but it's wonderful on it!
OMG you have not lived, it is BEST on popcorn. I like to use buttered popcorn, if it is too dry it just falls to bottom of the bowl... thats a waste of the goodness and frowned upon. This is popcorn crack
We were introduced to this powdered cheese by our daughter and son-in-law who picked up their original taste and container at the Vermont store a couple of years ago. Since then, they have been ordering a stock online so that they and their children each have their own container to put on their evening popcorn. We got hooked on it while on our stay with them this summer, and were so pleased with the flavor it added to the popcorn we had, we have ordered a stock for ourselves and sent a stock to them to replenish what we used! I think it's healthier than the other toppings that can be used on popcorn, which is healthy in itself. Thank you for making this product.
We love to add this to our popcorn, friends rave about it. It is always light and fluffy. I do wish that we could buy it in a larger container. We go through it very quickly.
I have been using this for years. I gave some to a friend who has a teenage son.....now her husband & son won't eat popcorn without it, and it's spread through son's group of friends. they all want cheesy popcorn.

Featherston people and those living at the southern extremities of Wairarapa were preparing to batten down the hatches yesterday in expectation of gale force winds.
The first bulletins issued by the MetService in 2013 warned southern Wairarapa could be in for a rocky ride with northwesterlies gusting to 140km/h battering the district from yesterday through until tomorrow.
Early evidence the MetService may not be too short of the mark came early yesterday when winds whipped up in Featherston before abating in mid morning, but not before the Featherston Fire Brigade had been summoned to deal with a wind-related incident in Wakefield St where a window had been blown in.
But locals were not convinced the high winds had gone and were expecting them to return later.
The gales were the remnants from huge northwesterlies that have hammered the east of the South Island from Monday and have the potential to damage trees, bring down powerlines and rip off roofs.
The prospect of high winds was not a welcome thought for campers and holidaymakers or the Wairarapa Racing Club which is staging its New Year meeting at Tauherenikau today, along with four harness races from its sister club.
Elsewhere in Wairarapa, and in Tararua, weather for the start of the new year has also been uninspiring.
Quite high winds buffeted Masterton on New Year's Day and northwesterly gusts swept through Eketahuna/ Pahiatua and the outlying farming areas.


text:
In general, the system developed by Skinner rests on the assumption that any behavior that is positively reinforced, or rewarded, will repeat itself, especially over time. Second, this repetition, over time, will lead to the desired behavior becoming a habit. Also, the conditioning in one area will "bleed" over into other, related areas, assisting the patient in other areas of his life.
Skinner's Behavioral Theory
B.F. Skinner is a famed psychologist associated with behaviorism. In general, behaviorism is the idea that human beings respond predictably to stimuli, and those who control those stimuli control the person. There is no free will as commonly conceived, only responses to perceived pleasures and pains. The basic idea, therefore, is that if you want to treat irrational behaviors, you must make certain that the irrational behavior is punished and the rational (opposing and opposite) behavior rewarded. Over time, the irrational behavior will disappear, because it eventually conditions the agent to realize that such behaviors lead to pain.
Theoretical Structure
Any organism is a complex object that is a product of its environment. What this means in real terms is that an object's behavior over time can be predicted on the basis of its previous experiences. Things that have provided it pleasure will be pursued; things that provide it pain will be avoided. Hence, behaviorism of Skinner's type takes the utilitarian calculus as its center.
For students in a classroom, for example, positive behavior is encouraged through the promise of rewards. Bad behavior is responded to with negative consequences. Over time, if these incentives are applied regularly and without excessive modification, the classroom will operate as a smooth organism. Of course, any organization can be treated in this fashion. Because all organisms function according to the pleasure/pain nexus, the only real requirement is that the incentives be applied regularly and predictably.
Social Approach
The social vision of Skinner was based on the idea that an entire connected system of desires and aversions can be artificially induced by the "enlightened" public authority, that is, the state. Even more, the interests, motivations and drives of specific individuals (or even groups) could be understood if a full history of that person's experiences could be ascertained. In other words, if a person had a history of parental neglect, this would explain the patient's interest in community or a cynicism toward the family. The mental makeup of a person, according to Skinner's theory, could be understood (and behaviors predicted) through the history of what has been provided or deprived from that person's life with sufficient frequency to create a habitual attitude.
The criticisms of Skinner's approach have been legion. One critic, Alfie Kohn, rejected Skinner's ideas because he believed they treat human beings as if they were animals in a lab. In fact, according to such critics as Kohn, most of Skinner's experiments were done with lab animals, not with human beings. In addition, critics have rejected the use of Skinner's approach in the classroom, holding that the learning process cannot be facilitated within a schedule of rewards and punishments but is a part of the human makeup that should be followed freely, not by coercion. Moreover, many critics have held that the social application of Skinner's theory would lead to absolute totalitarianism, where every thought and act of the citizen would be the subject of scientific regulation. In other words, society would become a university-based, behaviorist and scientific oligarchy.

Gluten Free in Paris??!!
- chefathome Feb 16, 2011 10:45 AM
Any recommendations for GF foods/pastries/snacks around the 14th in Paris? My husband and I are going in September for a week. As it is a work function, our dinners will be taken care of but we are on our own for breakfasts/lunches/snacks/shopping. I have not been to France since being diagnosed with Celiac and have no clue where to begin. We would be willing to travel outside the 14th, too.
Well, comrade, you're in trouble. Gluten-free is, alas, an unexplored continent in France. And given the mythical, central status of bread, it is an uphill battle. In fact, I found the gluten-free goods to be better in the US than what you can find in France (so much so that I'm thinking about starting a business here by importing recipes from... Connecticut. How crazy is the world?).
I have one address: the yellow crepe stand on bd du Montparnasse called Génia, across the bd from rue Vavin, has genuine buckwheat crepe. You can ask them for a sweet or savory crepe, but you need to specify you want buckwheat (sarrasin) if it's a sweet one as they're traditionally made with wheat. Sausage and ham are not gluten-free, but cheese, eggs, meat are, as are of course nutella, jam and sugar (I like their "spéciale": ground beef with spices, tomatoes and mushrooms, cheese and egg).
In most other crepe stands, all crepes have flour in them, even the buckwheat ones.
Naturalia (organic groceries) has some gluten-free stuff, none of it too appealing, frankly.
And of course, the grilled meat and fish and the veggies are always safe orders. But beware of all sauces.
To my knowledge, there is one gluten-free restaurant in Paris. It is called Des Si et Des Met (http://www.dessietdesmets.com/), on 63 rue Lepic, in Montmartre. The chef is very good (former vegetable chef de partie at l'Arpège) and the hostess is very pretty. That's all I know about this restaurant, haven't tried it yet.
Pho 67, on rue Galande, has MSG free pho soups.
re: souphie
Soupie, sounds like it is going to be even more difficult than I thought! I wonder how the heck I will get through without getting glutened?? Thankfully I have no GI symptoms and do not get sick but obviously I do not want to harm my insides. I am also very concerned about the dinners - we are going out to superb restaurants each evening (in dinner groups of 8). I mean, being in Paris totally surrounded by gluten? It almost makes me sick thinking about it.
Thanks for the information - it is very helpful. Will check out Des Si et Des Met.
re: chefathome
Look, I'm gluten intolerant too and I live here, and I like to think I eat pretty well. But you have to resist the bread, which is the most difficult part, in my opinion.
It's not hard to eat gluten free in superb French restaurants, but you have to make it clear that you can't tolerate any flour, any bread, any breading, any soy sauce. Scare them by pretending it will kill you.
Le Cinq for instance can absolutely manage and even has gluten free bread. At Joséphine, most dishes are flour free. A true bearnaise is gluten-free. So is a real mayonnaise. Be mindful of most stews like boeuf bourguignon, for they often are thickened with flour. And of most cured meat, as they usually are seasoned with wheat dextrose (but artisanal charcutier will offer wonderful stuff that is gluten free).
What I'm saying is, no one knows what gluten is here, so you need to be careful and basically can't expect to trust anyone. Anyway, feel free to contact me directly for advice.
re: souphie
The breads would definitely be my biggest temptation as well. I am so pleased to hear that Le Cinq manages and is at least knowledgeable about GF. That is one of the places we are going to for dinner.
I was off gluten for nearly six months (had to wait ages for my biopsies) so I got good at it but it is far easier at home than eating out, obviously. The problem is I would have no clue whether I was glutened or not! Plus this is my first Paris trip since my diagnosis so I will really struggle as a MAJOR food fanatic.
I will contact you when I have more specific questions. I first wanted to sort of get a feel of how Paris is with this issue (of course some countries are easier than others). Thanks lots!
re: souphie
Just for anyone who is still following this chain (I read every post in detail) Des Si et Des Met is no longer open.
re: jd1983
Thanks for posting this!
You might consider something like this: http://www.triumphdining.com/products... I was recently in Berlin for over a week, and made my own card to carry in my purse. One server was even kind enough to correct my poor grammar! I found that as long as I ate in places that cooked to order, kitchens were accommodating and considerate. Of course, Germany isn't France, but I imagine the French will take you seriously if you make yourself clear. Calling or emailing ahead is always a good idea, too.
One thing to note, I felt this definitely required budgeting and planning, because I was unable to eat just anywhere. You likely won't be able to grab a quick bite in little cafes, because much of the food is made ahead and wheat based. I did end up with a protein and a salad at a few places until my traveling companions grasped that I required an actual restaurant, and preferably to make reservations specifying my needs in order to get much in the way of carbohydrate. Don't forget about cross contamination, too, because if your crepe is made on a griddle that also makes wheat based crepes, or the same ladle is used, that's damaging, too. I am glad to hear you aren't symptomatic, because, well, at least you won't be sick on a business trip... good luck!
re: amyzan
I did use those cards when off gluten whilst awaiting my biopsy (takes months here to get in) and during that time was in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia where they definitely came in handy. It was not a good sign when after reading the cards people looked totally clueless! After the first few places we started to get the hang of it but you're right - you must plan like crazy! Every morsel that goes into your mouth must be well thought out. Once I find out where we all we are going I will definitely email each restaurant to alert them of this. Thanks for the reminder re crepes! So they do GF crepes? That would be a great help!!
After our week in Paris my husband and I are heading to another country for two more weeks (unsure which yet but somewhere in Europe) so will be getting plenty of experience!! Plus we own a house in Croatia where, thankfully, we are able to do our own food prep (mostly grilling fish and such).
Amyzan, thanks for your help! At first I was quite frightened of the prospects but I think it is also because I was just diagnosed last week and SHOCKED at the results. It takes awhile for something like CD to sink in. I mean, I LOVE gluten so much!!!
We were in Paris for a week last September, my wife requires GF and and provided you explain things first up you will have no problems. There is usually something on the menu that is OK and the waiters are extremely helpful. My wife often ordered duck, but be careful of any jus and don't be afraid to ask about ingredients. Le Cinq, Josephine Chez Dumonet and Cafe Constant are on our list for this September and it is good to hear that Le Cinq has GF bread. Thankyou souphie.
re: DownUnder
Juices and sauces at Joséphine are also beyond suspicion, homemade, and they know what's in it. It is unfortunately not the case with many restaurants, that use industrial fonds or sauces. Even some nice ones.
I bought a new book that will be useful to anyone going to France--The Gluten-Free Guide to France. its got tons of restaurants with prices, websites and location stuff. Can't wait to use it when I go to Nice in 2 weeks! www.gfguidefrance.com. Good luck and have fun on your trip. I know I will on mine!
re: bucksgirl
It depends. Many, esp the bigger ones, have a bit of flour in them. But indeed, the true recipe is egg white, almond powder and sugar, so they are gluten-free.
The ones at Renard, like everything in the shop actually, are entirely GF.
re: souphie
It is very good to know that Gregory Renard's macarons are gluten free, although I am about to go off sugar too. In my opinion his are the best in town, especially the pomme cannelle.
re: forestqueen56
Sing it, sister!
Sounds like salad and Steak Frites for my family....travelling to the Charentes this summer with two Celiacs.
re: worldwidestuff
Be very careful with the fries. A lot of them, especially the frozen ones, are actually rolled in flour to make them crispy. Even if no label says so, the fries at McDonalds for instance are a big no-no for gluten-sensitive persons.
Steaks are indeed safe.
re: souphie
That's a good warning about fries; pommes sautées, on the other hand, should be safe.
re: souphie
Unreal. French Fries. A staple for my family when dining out here in Canada.
Maybe we have to move to Europe. And start a GF Bakery there
re: worldwidestuff
Homemade French fries are safe. The "Belgian" ones on rue Saint Jacques, next to the corner of Soufflot, across the street from Bon, for example, are fine.
re: souphie
Not if they fry other foods made with flour in the same oil. It's fairly rare for resties to have a fryer dedicated to just potatoes, but maybe the French have a different tradition? Cross contamination is a real bugaboo for celiacs.
re: amyzan
And for other gluten-sensitive persons, most of which are not even aware that they are...
re: worldwidestuff
Then, there is the whole cross contamination issue, which you may have to explain to kitchen staff. I carried a little translated statement for waiters to take back to the kitchen. Only one restaurant returned an apologetic waiter who said the chef couldn't accommodate me. This was in Berlin last fall. I wish you luck!
re: chefathome
Hi, Chefathome. Obviously there are gluten intolerants and celiacs in Paris, but chances are you will have to search high and low for a restaurant where the chefs/cooks are concerned about it or even know of such a thing. The first thing they put on your table is a basket of bread. No telling what goes on in the kitchen.
David Liebowitz' Living the Sweet Life has a page devoted to gluten free in Paris. You might take a look at that. He suggests Le Potager du Marais, a vegetarian restaurant, and also renting an apartment and cooking it yourself.
I will be looking forward to what others who live in Paris have to say on this subject.
re: forestqueen56
Forestqueen, thank you for your information. This trip makes me slightly apprehensive. We unfortunately must stay at the same hotel that everyone else is staying at (husband's business trip) so cannot rent an apartment (which is the route we take when traveleing any other time). I will contact the hotel about breakfasts. The registration for this did ask about dietary concerns and I would imagine that with nearly 1,000 of us there others must have celiac. It cannot be just myself!
What goes on in the kitchen does concern me. I will be taking along gluten-free bread and snacks but who wants to do that in Paris?! Le Potager du Marais is an excellent suggestion. I will look into Liebowitz's info again in greater detail.
I have been to countries/regions where celiac disease is taken seriously and people do their utmost to help and prevent cross contamination. Some places have even designed special dishes just for me. (Of course before we eat out we contact the restaurant at least 24 hours in advance.)
I am curious as well to hear from others on the attitude of gluten-free eating in Paris.
re: chefathome
read Souphie's responses upthread -- I'm not celiac, but I've been much more aware of the issue because of this and other threads.
Nobody's denying that celiac exists by any stretch....but it is absolutely not a major concern amongst the general population.
re: sunshine842
Yes, Souphie's responses are helpful. Just wondering whether things have changed in the past year since I asked this because in some places I've traveled to things have progressed in leaps and bounds! Some, not so much.
re: chefathome
Paris would be "not so much".
re: sunshine842
Understood. That is unfortunate. This could be an even more interesting trip than I had anticipated!
re: chefathome
My celiac husband and I just returned from a trip to Paris. We had no problem eating gluten-free. All the restaurants at which we ate were aware of celiac disease and very accommodating. We used our broken French and a gluten-free card to explain to waiters.
We ate at L'Arpege (which provided quinoa bread), Septime, Le Chateaubriand, Briezh Cafe, La Cantine de Troquet, Huiterie Regis, Philou, and Astier, among other places.
re: garfieldpl
It must have been a relief to both you and your husband that he was able to eat gluten free without any issues in Paris. I just did not know how celiac aware and accommodating it is. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and for providing me with names of restaurants that you safely ate at. I will look into them all. This is great info!
HELMUT NEWCAKE - the cheesecake is divine.
36 rue bichat, in the tenth arrondissement, and it is a completely gluten-free cake shop!
re: heureusement
Oh, wow! Thanks so much for this. So glad I can have my cake and eat it, too.
I would note, late in this thread's game, that Daniel Rose's Spring is gluten avoidant (he being sensitive himself to gluten & food allergies) and on reserving (yes Virginia, you can get in at lunch) and on sitting down you will be asked if you have any food issues.
Just to let you know we spent a week in Paris, arriving September 27. We have traveled a lot but this had been our first visit to this lovely city. We were impressed by the friendliness of Parisians we were in contact with. Though we were there for my husband's annual meeting, we did have a bit of time to explore on our own.
Well, to date Paris has been the most difficult place to eat gluten free but that is mostly due to daily errors our hotel made. The concierge desk and staff were absolutely fantastic but the chefs/cooks got my orders wrong most of the time. As my husband was in meetings the lunches were mainly lovely packed boxed lunches but when I asked for mine I was instructed to pick up a vegetarian box. Obviously this was NOT ok. (I had contacted the hotel in advance, explaining that I have celiac, etc.). Other celiacs at the hotel encountered the same problems. Breakfasts were buffets which I cannot do, either, so I lived off fruit and cheese for breakfasts and lunches. Dinners were mostly planned in advance. This created difficulty. The first place we went to was only able to offer me one item on the entire menu which saddened me. I was nearly in tears because the others at the table enjoy good food but were not food people (except my husband). I missed out on so much!
The next few evenings were planned (with the same problems but not as extreme). After the first dinner I had resigned myself to the fact that I would just try to eat safe food - not seek out the dishes I so longed to have. I actually lost 7 pounds in Paris in a week! My husband and I had two dinners on our own which were vastly different (as I had done research in advance). We were able to have veal's head, rabbit terrine, grouse mousse, etc. Finally my Parisian food dreams came true!
We bought vast amounts of macarons from a patisserie that were gluten free. The staff behind the counter even had a printed list of what was safe there for celiacs. (I have the place written down - must look up). We gorged ourselves on those things.
One of our activities was a cooking class at Chef Martial's Cooking School which was fun. To be honest I did not learn anything (I've been doing this type of thing for years) but it was delicious. Only problem was the Chef added dried veal stock to a gastrique before I caught him. And it contained gluten. :( So, I had my seared duck without the gastrique. I had to grab each and every single ingredient/container to read labels. Some in the group were a touch annoyed but they learned about celiac requirements! I had no choice. (I had emailed the cooking school in advance to discuss.) I could only have a portion of the starter and thankfully the creamy polenta with my duck. Could not have the chocolate tart that was dessert, of course, but the chef had made me a special fruit salad which was very good.
If it was not for the food difficulties I would have loved Paris even more than I did. However, I tried to focus on things other than food (which was a switch!). It is not my favourite city in the world (and my husband took the Metro all over the place - we ventured from our group from time to time as we tended to be far more adventurous than most there) but it was beautiful with lovely weather.
Will list the restaurants we ate at when I gather that information together (we went to Croatia for a month after that and my info is still not completely organized).
Thanks to you for all your contributions to our trip! We appreciate your help. :)

What is it to have faith,
And to have hope?
To stand and be strong?
To deal with and cope?
It isn't as easy as it is said,
This constant struggle from within,
A tug and a pull,
A straining stress upon my soul.
God up in Heaven,
He is my strength,
But a darkness is pulling,
Pulling me down underneath.
A constant battle,
Between emotion and mind,
Unsure what to think,
Trying to fight back this cry.
A silent plea,
Shouting out for help,
I must keep up hope,
Until the day that I die.

The car accident occurred outside LaGrange, Georgia at approximately 3:06 a.m. Sunday morning. B.N. Talley, the officer who responded to the scene, told the Ledger Enquirer that a 2006 Chevy Tahoe missed a stop sign at a "t-intersection" before traveling off the intersection and into a churchyard.

By ColindaV
What we say:
Quiet simply, we've found this place, across numerous stays, to be one of the friendliest places in the Khao San area. Set on Tani Rd, two blocks north of Khao San Road, the clean and friendly Thai Cozy House represents good backpacker value. By the day, the footpaths are clogged with merchants selling all manner of clothing and other goods — to other Thais — this isn't a tourist market like you see on Khao San (but it does block the footpaths all the same). Thai Cozy has 54 rooms all with air-con, TV, fridge, bathroom with hot shower and free WiFi. The rooms are clean and pretty well kept, though the bathrooms (depending on the room) can be a little pokey. Don't expect any design flourishes other than some plastic flowers. Rates go as high as 1,000B for a deluxe room with a balcony, but the standards are more than adequate — they suited us just fine. Note the streetside rooms do catch some traffic racket from Tani Rd. All rooms also include breakfast and a 15 minute massage! Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended. If full, Pannee House just down the road is a bit flasher than Thai Cozy, but still good value.

Nice staff, great location!
I stayed for 5 nights in a twin room with private bathroom. The night manager Jenny speaks great English and will help organise transport etc. The room was nothing special, but it was clean and the aircon worked well so it was comfortable. The location is great, the street is filled with markets during the day and very short walk to bars at night. I stayed on the top floor (they have a lift) and didnt have any problems with street noise when I was trying to sleep :) I was told by other travelers that it was over priced, but I have no complaints and would stay again.

Ok and clean
Booked and paid ahead but they gave room away. They took us to another guest house for that night and had a room for us the next day - disappointing after 23 hrs of flying to find out you paid in advance room was given away! Room was clean enough but quite small. Friendly staff which made up for these small problems. However, would only stay here again if nothing else was available.

Nice palce, good location, very helpful staff
Stayed here 4 nights, received discount. Room is basic, but does have TV, Hot shower, a/c. Good location for everything. Staff was so nice. They have internet service, so-so food, a good thai massage place and a tailor in the lobby.

Good location
This place is near hyperactive Khao San but is on a quiet street. It also has a tailor & internet cafe downstairs. The free breakfast was nothing special especially since I thought their cafe was vegetarian ( they just served eggs, toast, & coffee).The staff is efficient & helpful. Would stay here again for the location & the clean rooms.
Thai Cozy House reviewed by daybreaker (Total published reviews: 4) on
Excellent Flashpacker Option
We stayed here for three nights and were very pleased. The 24 hour front desk made it a great choice for us, as we arrived in Bangkok at 2 am. They responded quickly and efficiently to our online reservation request too. Good breakfast with two (2!) eggs, toast, mystery meat, OJ, tea/coffee included. Our room was clean, with a nice tiled bathroom, and quiet, with barely any road noise audible. A bit more expensive than other options in the area perhaps, but lots of nice touches for the money, including hot water, fridge, TV with HBO, two free bottles of water per day, fluffy clean towels, etc. Rates perhaps 50 baht higher than listed here, as we were quoted 900 for a deluxe double. But they are offering a 150 baht per night discount for stays longer than 3 nights. We'd definitely stay here again.

Clean and Tidy
Just of Khao San Road this is a great place to stay with clean rooms.
Just two complaints.
1. You have to keep asking for towels which were never available when the room was made up. and
2. Only one egg for breakfast (but it is included with the room rate) so not so bad.
Nice and quiet at night if that's what you want

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 10/24/14
(AP) -- Creighton has shown early on that it might have enough depth to be consistently successful this season without big games from star forward Doug McDermott. The No. 14 Bluejays will try for another solid team effort Tuesday night when they host Longwood in regional play for this weekend's Las Vegas Invitational. A preseason All-American, McDermott averaged 22.9 points for the 29-6 Bluejays last season. Though Creighton (3-0) reached the third round of the NCAA tournament, only two of his teammates averaged more than 9.0 points. With opponents now focused more on stopping McDermott, Bluejays coach and Doug's father Greg McDermott is pleased to see others step up. McDermott's average has dropped to 16.7 points in this young season, but four other Creighton players are averaging at least 9.0 per contest. In a 77-60 win over UAB on Wednesday, McDermott was held five points but center Gregory Echenique came through with 13 and 16 rebounds, while reserves Josh Jones and Ethan Wragge combined to score 30. McDermott was back to form with 24 points in a 87-58 rout of Presbyterian on Sunday. Wragge added 18 on 6-of-8 shooting from 3-point range as the Bluejays shot 61.5 percent overall and went 12 of 24 from behind the arc. "They've got a complete team," Presbyterian coach Gregg Nibert said. Wragge, a 6-foot-7 junior who averaged 6.6 points and made 41.0 percent of his 3-point attempts last season, has scored 30 on 10-of-16 shooting on 3s in the last two games. "It felt good when I got that first one to go in and I got a little rhythm," Wragge said of his performance Sunday. "They were really spread out and concerned with Doug and Greg (Echenique) down low. If teams are going to take away the inside like that, we as shooters have to make sure they pay for it." His coach is more than willing to let his players shoot from long distance if that's what the situation dictates. "If they're going to keep two guys in front of our post guys, we've got guys with the green light to let it fly," Greg McDermott said. "When you have 4s like Doug and Ethan who are capable of stretching the defense, it puts a lot of pressure on them." Creighton may need to shoot well from the perimeter in Las Vegas when it faces Wisconsin on Friday and Arizona State or Arkansas on Saturday. Before then, the Bluejays will try for a 41st straight home victory over an unranked non-conference foe when they face Longwood (0-3) for the first time. The Lancers committed 28 turnovers in a 112-63 loss at Arkansas on Sunday. Longwood is led by 6-9 freshman Michael Kessens, averaging 15.0 points and 10.3 rebounds.

You are going way off topic Tobester but I just wanted to tell you I was very patient and courteous when dealing with the Sonic.net representatives who attempted to fix my issue when I had Sonic Fusion.
Zeonis,Although it has not come up in this thread, itemizing the $6.50 as a rental fee lowers the taxes on the service, so that is one reason to do it. Also, I just comparison-shopped between Comcast, U-verse, Sonic, and my last provider DSL Extreme, and even with this rental fee, Sonic is a far better deal in terms of speed-and-overall-package-for-the-money. If you know of a better option, please let me know. I'd like my internet service to be cheaper, too, but I don't think hammering on the cheapest provider will get me there.

I had been wanting a light for an AR15 for some time now. After shopping for the past couple months I decided on the Olight M20S for its combination of battery life and lumen output.
Here are the numbers:
Low: 9 lm (150hrs)
Med: 110lm (12hrs)
Hi/Strobe: 320lm (~3.5hrs)
I was impressed by the packaging of the bat. That first impression was carried through while continuing to open the foam lined hard case and handling the light itself. After a quick run to Walmart I returned with four CR123 batteries. Installation of the batteries was a breeze. Cycling through the four functions was made easy by a small button located towards the rear of the light on the side of the battery cap. The light comes with a belt/pocket clip which was removed before mounting. I played with different mounting locations but couldnt decide on a certain one. I chose on the top rail towards the left and on the right side. We'll see what works best after a range trip. I have two pressure switches on their way that will be capable of cycling through all functions.
All things said I couldnt be happier with these two lights. They are super bright. Even the light bouncing off of the tv was uncomfortable when hitting my eyes. The strobe was intense as well. The performance is up there with any light I ever strapped on any issued weapon and the prices are awesome. In closing the only thing I can say I wasnt 100% with was the stock offset mount. Though it is perfectly functional and sturdy as heck it is a little bulky. But for the price of the mount you cant go wrong.
They would also make a great flashlight.
When youre ready to purchase yours email - firstname.lastname@example.com
This is where I got mine. Wendell ( bullit ) is a great guy who went out of his way to make me happy with my purchase. He even overnighted them so I could have them for the weekend

Nice light.
I got the flashlight bug a few months ago when I found Candle Power Forum. I now have like 17 or 18 lights.
I went with an Eagletac T20C2 Mk II on my PS90...
It's a really nice light. I have 4 Eagletacs now, and that brand is my fav (P20C2 Mk II, T20C2 MK II, T100C2 Mk II and an M2XC4).
Here is my collection (minus the one on my PS90 and another Solarforce I got in since that pic)
Its an addiction. I plan to get an SR90 Olight next
2200 lumens. It's like $450, though
If you ever get mad at one send it my way, I'll take care of it.
BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow.
PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
I have a connection w/ Olight through a friend. I can check on getting a price for you if youd like.
Ill send you a pm once he quotes me a price,
U da man!
mjkeat im diggin the light you got on your ar. How much did that one run?

Henry Darger, Battle of Norma Catherine
Henry Darger, Cloud Study (Mid 20th Century)
Weather is humanized: a cloud can become "freakish in appearance," and seem "to dissolve itself into something mysterious and fearful" attended by "sickening sulphurious smell in the air." Moreover, his characters are weathermen. In one scene, after a 147-degree night in which the dogs howled continually, "Robert Vivian [father of the Vivian Girls] going near the beach of the southern sea shore, noticed a sudden change in atmosphere, and that the wind had changed to four directions in four minutes, then back to the south." Equipped with internal barometers, Dargerian protagonists like Robert are especially perceptive of such shifts in atmospheric pressures. And they need to be, since climatic variations are Signs, Omens and Portents: "Ink-dark threatening clouds of fantastic colors and shape" spread "over the southwestern horizons, with amazing animation. Darker and darker became the ponderous globular avalanches of clouds, which though purple in color at first, became an inky hue or exactly looked like smoke, while a strange ominous booming roar was heard along the distant horizon in that direction." Elsewhere Darger describes "clouds upon clouds that arose from a treacherous smudge along the rubbish under the snow, ignited by the fierce heat of the conflagration in the tree tops." Terms like "inky" and "smudge" stand out, suggesting, perhaps, that while mechanically this particular firestorm may be almost impossible to imagine, Darger—positioned as both author and god—will have drawn it for us, and is now in part referring to his drawing.

In this article the author investigates the concept of technology within the creative musical processess of the 20th century. Technology has been considered a central aspect by western communities, since the pioneering experience of Edison's phonograph, Dziga Vertov's "Laboratory of Hearing", radiophonic art, and musique concrète. The original fascination for making sounds, the emancipation of timbre and its relationship to formal aspects of music (Poème électronique by Varèse) are mentioned. The Digital revolution has provoked cultural and cognitive interrelations, such as the concept of "automation" in the works by Xenakis, Tenney, Brün, Grossi. Di Scipio stresses the importance of renewing the methods of investigation in order to integrate the study of a work with the study of its making.
