3 dinners in/near Alba
We will have three nights near Alba. So far I am thinking of the following restaurants for our dinners:
La Libera
I would appreciate any thoughts/comments/suggestions.
We had a great dinner at La Libera last fall. The food is a modern take on regional classics. I am planning a return to Alba next fall and definitely have La Libera on the list again. I am not familiar with the other two, but one other place in the area that we will definitely return to is I Bologna in Rocchetta Tanaro, the best meal we had in Piemonte.
re: rrems
I also thought La Libera was excellent. I wrote a brief report:
re: Villasampaguita
Hi Villa, no I have never participated in E-gullet, though I have occasionally read some threads on it. What was the debate about I Bologna?
re: rrems
Must have been Chow then. Debate wasn't about I Bologna, but it was used as an example of a restaurant de-listed from Slow Food guide.
re: Villasampaguita
Thank you for the link. I had not seen that thread as it was split from the Italy board. Fascinating reading.
re: Villasampaguita
I Bologna most likely was removed from the Guide because it raised its prices.
Michelin shows it as offering a menu at 45 euros, GR at 40, while Slowfood maxes at I think 35 euros. There are a lot of places that seem to fall out for this reason (get well know and raise their prices, presumably), nothing nefarious about it, seems to me.
re: jen kalb
It could be, since Zerlina raised this point I looked through the guide and all are lower then 35 euro for their set menus. But in many of them you can spend a lot more as we all know. I always reach for SFO when looking for an inexpensive trattorie or osterie.
re: DavidT
Here are a few places in the area
La Libera in Alba is listed in both Slow Food Osterie d'Italia (SFO) and gets a 77 point rating (one fork) in 2008 Gambero Rosso Ristoranti d'Italia (GR).
Al Enoteca in Canale is not listed in SFO and gets an 87 rating in GF, plus a special mention in two forks verging on three.
Bovio in La Morra is not listed in either of my guides, but it's predecessor Belvedere was rated at 80 (two forks).
If it were my money I would go to Piazza Doumo in Alba rated in GF at 90 (three forks), Al Enoteca and Osterie Vignaiolo in La Morra (SFO and New York Times)
here is a link to my post from last September. It may give you some useful information.
re: ekc
Ekc, Bovio is rather new and what what I can gather is the old Belevedere (which was getting stale after at least 20 years) moved to a new location.
Here is our review of Al Enoteca posted on e-gullet in 2007 and its still superb and not expensive for its category :-
Normally we go for the smaller and less pricey osterie and trattorie, which this area of Italy abounds in, and our guests love, however we decided to try out a more fancy and elegant restaurant as a treat for us and to share with the forum.
The Enoteca Restaurant, as the name implies, is co-located with the Enoteca Regionale di Roero, in Canale, around 20 minutes from our house on the scenic back road between Asti and Alba. The Roero, as you may know, is the other central Piedmontese wine area on the west of the Tanaro river, not as famous as the Langhe and Monferrato but producing good (and reasonably cost) wines such as Roero Arneis (white), Nebbiolo d'Alba (red), Barbera's (both d'Alba and d'Asti) and Bonarda (Cisterna d'Asti DOC).
The restaurant is on the first floor of the Enoteca building, in the centre of Canale, next to the old porticoed Via Roma shopping street. The decor is quite modern and elegant, although I personally prefer more traditional styles.
I decided to have the menu degustazione classico and Tim elected to go with a menu selection. On special that day was a mixed sashimi antipasti, which was tempting, but we decided that we wanted to try out the Piedmontese specialities. Here are out tasting memories:
* A selection of mixed antipasti tidbits, including a delicious and palate cleansing shrimp cocktail with fresh made tomato sauce, and a cone of goat's cheese flavoured with blueberry.
* "Il Fassone dalla testa ai piedi" literally a selection of meats from head to toe : 3 slices of tongue – loved it; tripes, shredded with a smear of green sauce, I wouldn't have even known what it was without asking; carne crudo, not usually my preference, but it literally melted in my mouth; prosciutto type of belly meat marinated in mustard and lastly the hoof made into a jelly and deepfried, this was so good.
* "Calamari aglio-olio e peporoncino, polenta bianca grezza", very simple, yet the calamari was exquisitely soft and mouth melting sitting on a bed of white polenta making a great combination.
* [/I]Ravioli stuffed with 3 types of meat, beautiful presentation, wrapped in a lace napkin and served with a cup of most delicious broth (I even drank the leftover!).
* "Due ravioli in due servizio". Two ravioli courses both with liquid (melted) fillings, first one with pesto - really a tortellini which as you bite into releases an explosion of sumptuous liquid pesto, the second with Blue Moncenisio cheese in a chocolate-coloured grano di carube (Sicilian) shell, and perfectly offset by the pieces of pear and almond.
* [I]"Costato di manzo, midollo, pinole tartin di cipoli" A treat for meat lovers, a solid piece of loin cooked between rare and medium the meat was so soft and tender, still pink in the middle and yet not chewy. The side dishes were carefully put together as one dish and a perfect accompaniment.
* "Insalata di piccione, porcini, mirtilli e fegato grasso affumiciati", which was roasted slices of tender pigeon cooked to perfection, topped with smoked foie gras, sliced mushrooms and blueberries, a most interesting and rewarding combination.
Wine – as can be expected for an enoteca the wine list was extensive with a large range of Roero wines as well as a good selection from Piedmont and other regions. We chose 2 classic Roero wines.
* Roero Arnies 2006 Almondo Giovanni, with good perfume and acidity, but in our opinion not as good as Bruno Giacosa, which is the only Arnies we have found with body.
* Cisterna d'Asti Superiore 2003 La Pergola. We love a good Bonarda, however this one had been oaked in new barrels, which had killed any taste of the fruit.
We felt we could have made a better selection and were not really able to communicate to the wine waiter what we really wanted:
* "Sformata Gianduja con Crema Menthe", a little crusty for my taste, could have been moister, but a good combination with the mint cream sauce.
* "Crema e Gelato alle nocciole zabiglione soffice" – to die for!
Vino Arneis Passito 2001, - excellent desert wine, the first time we have tried an Arneis Passito, although there was a faint raisin taste reminiscent of Sicilian Moscato rather then a true botrytis wine.
Overall the timing between courses was excellent, as was the presentation, the waiters were attentive and helpful (including some who speak a little English). We didn't fell overstuffed and tipsy when we left. The bill was 175 euro, more then we would pay at a trattorie, but in keeping with the class of restaurant and the meal.

Footnote; since we quite full after this big lunch that we came home via nearby Cisterna d'Asti, a very pretty and scenic hilltop town, dominated by a medieval castle, which has a great collection of old artisan workshops donated by the descendants of the old trade families. Well worth seeing and open every afternoon.
re: Villasampaguita
Thanks Villa! I hadn't thought to search e-gullet. Sounds like a great meal!
re: Villasampaguita
Hello Villa- could you please recommend a few good trattoria//l'osteria where we can have truffle based menu? I am only there for two days so will have 3 meals and so far, I have L'Osteria del Vignaiolo, and Trattoria della posta on my list. Missing one, and was hoping you could help recommend the third since you seem to know the local ones in the area. Thanks!!
re: foodieingermany
You will be in Alba or Barolo area? If it was my choice I would do Vignaiolo of course, I would skip Della Posta and go to Boccondivino in Bra, and for the last choice I would either go to Osterie Gemma in Rodino, for a real local and inexpensive place, but not likely to have truffles, or if you want to splash, go to Ciau del Tornavento in Treiso. Also Locanda nel Borgo Antico near Barolo has a good reputation with our gourmet guests but we have not tried ourselves.
re: Villasampaguita
Why would you skip della Posta? I thought you had not eaten there(??) I thought it was an excellent restaurant!
re: erica
Hi Erica, we took some friends there in June and whereas it was quite good (it had better be given it's reputation), I was not terribly impressed by some of the dishes.It wasn't worth making a review since it has so many and I didn't want to start another forum argument! I think there are better places in the price category and if I only had limited time I would skip it. .

Here is an interesting one to start this thread......
All 3 of the phoney teams who would all lose at least 2 games if they played in the SEC and yet are still undefeated(Oregon, K State, Notre Dame) play on the road next week. As we have seen, Notre Dame is capable of losing to anyone, so BC has a shot. They also still have to face USC. K St plays at TCU who isnt good but, ya never know, and Oregon plays a rival in Cal. They also still have to go on the road to face Oregon St in the civil war in a couple of weeks.
Lets say all 3 of these teams lose a game.
This opens up Florida to come in the back door and face Bama in the title game. So hypothetically, Florida may have done themselves a favor by losing to Georgia. Had they beaten Georgia, they would clearly be ranked #2 going into the SEC title game, but would have to face Bama then. A loss in that game would eliminate Florida from a rematch in the BCS title game even if all the other teams lose a game.
But, now with Georgia stepping up to take that loss in the SEC championship, Florida could be sitting there ranked #2 before that SEC title game is even played if those other 3 teams drop a game.
In other words, if I were a gator fan(thankfully Im not) I would be fine with Georgia winning out. I really want no part of playing Bama in the SEC title game. Whats the point? Its really Florida's best and only real path to the BCS title game. Have Georgia win the rest of their regular season games while Oregon, K State, and ND all drop a game.
Really, its almost a shame LSU cant get the rematch like Bama did last year. That was a great game and we all know that was the two best teams in the country. Well, those of us with sense do. Some people love the Oregon hype. Having 2 losses kills LSU's hopes though.
So which teams do you think will make it, if any, of that group guys? Post your thoughts here.
Id say ND is the most likely to lose even though they only play one more decent team in USC. ND just isnt that good.
Oregon is next likely to lose IMHO because they have a couple of road games left in the conference.
K State I think will win out. They could lose, but I dont see who is going to beat them.
One of those teams will likely win out though and suffer a massive beat down by NICK SABAN in the BCS championship.

Test ID: CTDC
Connective Tissue Diseases Cascade, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
This test is designed to evaluate patients with signs and symptoms compatible with connective tissue diseases. The testing algorithm is useful in the initial evaluation of patients and performs best in clinical situations in which the prevalence of disease is low.(4)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The following diseases are often referred to as connective tissue diseases: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus erythematosus (LE), scleroderma (systemic sclerosis) CREST syndrome (calcinosis, Raynaud phenomenon, esophageal hypomotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia), Sjogren syndrome, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), and polymyositis. Connective tissue diseases (systemic rheumatic diseases) are characterized by immune-mediated inflammation that involves the joints, skin, and visceral organs. These diseases are also accompanied by antibodies to a host of nuclear and cytoplasmic autoantigens.
The diagnosis of a connective tissue disease is based on clinical signs and symptoms and characteristic radiographic, histopathologic, and serologic findings. Certain connective tissue diseases are characterized by autoantibodies that are highly specific for individual diseases (see table). Connective tissue diseases often present clinically with signs and symptoms that are nonspecific, including constitutional signs (eg, fever, weight loss, fatigue, and arthralgias). Accordingly, consideration of the possibility of a connective tissue disease is common on initial clinical presentation and testing for antibodies to autoantigens associated with connective tissue diseases is often performed early in the evaluation of many patients.(1)
Autoantibodies with High Specificity for Individual Connective Tissue Diseases
Cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies
dsDNA antibodies
Scl 70 antibodies (topoisomerase 1)
Jo 1 antibodies (histidyl tRNA synthetase)
SSA/Ro and SSB/La antibodies
Sjogren syndrome
RNP antibodies (in isolation)
Sm antibodies
Ribosome P antibodies
Centromere antibodies
CREST syndrome
In CTDC / Connective Tissue Diseases Cascade, serum is tested initially for the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and for cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies. The presence of CCP antibodies indicates a strong likelihood of RA.(2) The presence of ANA supports the possibility of a connective tissue disease, and the level of ANA is used to identify sera for second-order testing for antibodies to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and the other autoantigens. The decision threshold for performing the second-order tests is based on empirical data derived from testing patients with varying levels of ANA and was chosen to minimize testing when positive results for dsDNA and other antibodies are very unlikely.(3)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =1.0 U (negative)
1.1-2.9 U (weakly positive)
3.0-5.9 U (positive)
> or =6.0 U (strongly positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.
CYCLIC CITRULLINATED PEPTIDE ANTIBODIES, IgG
<20.0 U (negative)
20.0-39.9 U (weak positive)
40.0-59.9 U (positive)
> or =60.0 U (strong positive)
Reference values apply to all ages.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Interpretive comments are provided.
See individual unit codes for additional information.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Results must be interpreted in the context of the complete clinical picture.
The presence of detectable levels of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is not specific for connective tissue disease. False-positive results for ANA occur in approximately 15% of women over age 40.(1) Weakly positive results for cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies may occur in patients with connective tissue diseases other than rheumatoid arthritis.
This test is not recommended for:
-Testing in clinical situations with a high prevalence of connective tissue diseases (eg, rheumatology specialty practice)
-Follow-up evaluation of patients with known connective tissue diseases
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

|The Bob Newhart Inn
Just back from a one week vacation, what do I decide to do? Write an entry publicizing another inn of course.
Actually there is some sense in this, in a roundabout, six degrees of separation kind of way. First, Tom Poston died a couple of days ago. He played played George Utley, the slow, inept handyman on the Bob Newhart Show. That show placed Newhart as the owner of a Vermont inn called the Stratford Inn, and surrounded the laconic actor with a wild assortment on deranged people, most notably the brothers Larry, Darryl, and Darryl who looked like three extras from a droll, Vermont-style Deliverance movie. It was Newhart's longest running show, starting in 1982 and wrapping up its run in 1990.
We are asked from time to time if that inn actually exists. In fact, it does although different from the TV icon. It is called the Waybury Inn and it's located not too far from us on Route 125 in East Middlebury Vermont. The Waybury's web site has a page devoted to its famous TV connection. The Waybury exterior was shown during the TV show's opening although it is now painted green instead of the white color it was back in the 1980's.
Coming back full circle to Tom Poston, and just to prove once again that you cannot judge a book by its cover, it turns out that in real life Poston could not have been the fumbling goofball he played on stage. He was a highly decorated WWII airman who entered the US Army Air Corps as a private and attained the rank of captain in just five years, serving in North Africa, Italy, France, and England.

I often find when Geocaching ordinary pencils don't seem to leave much of a mark at all, especially if the log is wet, and especially on the smaller logs pens are difficult to "get going" without a firm surface. Is there a better alternative I can use?

The Great Outdoors Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who love outdoor activities, excursions, and outdoorsmanship. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I often find a "soft" pencil, say 2B does the job much better than HB. Don't go too soft because then it'll be easy to turn into a smudgy mess, but as a general rule I find a pencil a bit softer than the norm works rather well.
Alternatively, if you prefer pen then breathing on a Biro to warm it before writing can often help get it going much more easily, especially in cooler weather.
I carry a red Pilot G-2 with me at all times. Never know when you will find a nearby cache and I've made red my signature color.

Many Bones Elite and Super Elites have small holes visible near the hub of the wheel. This is a known element of the process by which these high quality wheels are made and do not affect the performance of the wheel.
The bubbles are caused by the viscosity of the material and the creation of some bubbles as the material enters the mold. In materials with lower viscosities the bubbles rise and pop before the material solidifies, but with this super high performance material, the molecular weight is higher and this causes the viscosity during processing to be higher too. Bones could use a lower viscosity material, but then they would not be Elites....

The next generation Escalade and Escalade ESV. Is the arrival of the most anticipated generation of Cadillac's crown jewel worthy merely of an introduction, or more of a celebration? We would argue the latter considering the level of design, craftsmanship and detail that transformed it into the epitome of luxury. The charge of taking an American icon and elevating it to extraordinary new heights — which previously existed solely in the hearts and imagination of the world's finest designers and artisans — was as exhilarating and monumental as the vehicle itself.

I recently went to Murad's Inclusive Health spa in El Segundo for training. I wanted to share my experience because this is a fairly new program and I think that anyone interested in health and beauty could truly benefit from this program and experience. I'll explain what the Inclusive Health program is about, how it works and what I did/learned during my training.
What is inclusive health?
Inclusive health is a breakthrough approach to health and aging. It creates the ideal environment for cellular health. This astonishing approach looks at the body as an integrated system that can be transformed by building health at the cellular level. Inclusive health broadens its horizons by focusing on the overall health of each person from the cellular level up. Patients have a consultation with Dr. Murad and a trained Inclusive health practitioner to set up a 10 week program that focuses on correcting skin conditions and the management of aging. Each individual program is based on the individual wants and needs of each patient. Using a three-pronged approach that consists of topical, internal and emotional care, Inclusive health offers a unique collaboration of services, this concept is absent from today's medical spa market, which makes this program so innovative and one of a kind.
How does the three-pronged approach work?
External Care: The skin is the body's largest organ and first line of defense. Esthetic facials, tips for clear skin, cosmetic medical services and appropriate skincare regimens are all included in inclusive health's plan.
Internal Care: Supplements, prescription medication, nutrition and physical activities are all included to support all aspects of a healthier lifestyle.
Emotional Care: It is important for patients to achieve psychological and social balance. Spa feel-good services and stress-reduction activities like support groups to nurture the psyche and exercise are included in this section of wellness.
Dr. Murad has created a program that strives to make the whole body healthier by helping each cell in the body function at optimal level. Inclusive health's secret weapon is that it is rooted in The Science of Cellular Water. This science was discovered by Dr. Murad; he studied the strength of the cells themselves and found that they are the ultimate marker of youthful, good health and primary wellness. Gradual loss of muscle and bone mass, a lower metabolic rate, decline in hearing, vision and strength are all the result of a decrease in intracellular water. Howard Murad, M.D. states "The common thread to all physical aging and disease processes is life's most fundamental component: water." The Science of cellular water is about getting water into the cells and connective tissue so that it can function at its full capacity. Inclusive health not only explains the benefits of drinking water but how "eating your water" when you eat raw fruits and vegetables, may be an even better form. If the body is healthy, the skin will be as well. How do we increase healthy water? Through diet, exercise, lowering stress level and doing things that will make and keep us happy this is the essence of Inclusive Health.
University for Inclusive Health
UIH curriculum is based on Dr. Murad'srevolutionary Inclusive approach to esthetics and health. Inclusive Health courses are based on Dr. Murad's vision of better living through the complete integration of these realms: health, beauty and wellness care; which address the mind, soul and body.
Advanced tools cater to clients who have been affected by the impact of cultural stress. Cultural stress is a term coined by Dr. Murad referring to the normal stresses of everyday life, traffic, technology and long work weeks. Students who work through this program become proficient in the course materials needed to become an Inclusive Health Ambassador.
What I did all day
Now, that all of the back ground info is out of the way; let's get to the good stuff! The program is an intense 5 day course where students sit in on lectures taught by the President of Inclusive Health Tracey Sameyah, Dr. Murad himself and other health practitioners who have gone through the training successfully. My group actually got to sit in on three patient/doctor consultations with Murad and watched how he interacted with each patient. Each patient filled out a sense of self questionnaire that asked a series of lifestyle questions. They each ranked the questions (10 being the most 1 being the least).
Some sense of self example questions:
"I am at my ideal weight"
"I get 7-9 hours of sleep every night"
"I am hopeful for my future"
"I have a lot of energy when I get up in the morning".
The way each patient rates these questions helps Dr. Murad and health practitioners set up a plan for each patient based on their lifestyle. I really enjoyed the training it was very informative, each of us came up with our own 10 week program based on our own sense of self. This gave us all a feel for what the patients were doing and how we can relate to them. At the end of the course we took a cumulative exam when you pass, you receive a lovely certificate and become a Certified Inclusive Health Practitioner.

Spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit (SFFC) medicines
The problem of Spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit (SFFC) medicines was first addressed at the international level in 1985 at the Conference of Experts on the Rational Use of Drugs in Nairobi. The meeting recommended that WHO, together with other international and nongovernmental organizations, should study the feasibility of setting up a clearing house to collect data and to inform governments about the nature and extent of counterfeiting.
In 1988 the World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA41.16 which requested the Director-General of WHO to initiate programmes for the prevention and detection of the export, import and smuggling of falsely labelled, counterfeited or substandard pharmaceutical preparations. Given the rapid spread of counterfeit drugs in many national distribution channels, the World Health Assembly in 1994 adopted resolution WHA47.13. This requested the Director-General of WHO to assist Member States in their efforts to ensure that available medicines were of good quality, and in combating the use of counterfeit drugs.
Increasing international trade of pharmaceuticals and sales via the internet has further facilitated the entry of counterfeit products into the supply chain. In 2006 this led to WHO's launch of the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce (IMPACT*).
In 2010, the 63rd World Health Assembly asked WHO to convene a time-limited and results oriented intergovernmental working group to examine:
- WHO's role in ensuring availability of good-quality, safe, efficacious and affordable medicines
- WHO's relationship with the International Medical Products Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce (IMPACT)
- WHO's role in prevention and control of substandard/spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit Medical Products
- Documents related to the Working Group of Member States meeting on Substandard/spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit Medical Products
The Working group made specific recommendations to the 64th World Health Assembly in May 2011. Agenda item 13.7 - document A64/16 "Report of the Working Group meeting of Member States on Substandard/spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit Medical Products"
- The 65th World Health Assembly discussed the outcome of the Working Group meetings and adopted the WHA resolution (WHA65.19) which created a new Member State mechanism on substandard/spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit medical products. The first meeting of the Member State mechanism will be held from 19 to 21 November 2012 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the working documents are available at the following link:

|My 6th time at the summit. Of course, snow all the way, but many spots were surprisingly thin, evidence of below-normal-snowfall this season in the Wasatch. With good friends Lana and Kim. Beautiful views throughout the climb but a fast-moving storm brought wind and snow and forced us off of the rock-strewn summit. Took about 1.5 hours up and 1+15 down. Seventh time on the summit was part of the Brighton Ridge Run on 9-04-07 with Brent, Lana and Kim. 8th time on top part of Brighton Ridge Run with Brent on 7-29-08. This variation of the ridge run begins at Bear Trap Fork TH below the Silver Fork Lodge in BCC and, for us, included Silver Peak, Scott Peak, Guardsman Peak, 10,420', Clayton and Preston Peaks. There was a mailbox at the summit of Clayton Peak but we didn't have time to look inside! 9th on 4-21-09 See write up of ridge run on Mt. Wolverine summit log. #10 4-20-10 Part of Brighton Ridge run w/ Brent, Dave and Walt. Hit 9 10ers with Millicent being the last. #11 on 9-14-10 w/ JP Lewis. Bear Trap Fork to Desolation Peak and south along all of them to here. Down to Brighton parking lot and thumbed a ride down to the car at the Bear Trap Fork "trailhead." #13 12-27-11 Solo Brighton Ridge winter ridge run from Guardsman Peak to Twin Lakes Pass. Lots of exposed boulders on top of this one! #14 8-2-14 Part of mini ridge run, from Brighton parking lot. 15 & 16 12-24 & 12-27-2014 Along with peak 10420 & Tri-county peak.

|I put off climbing this peak because I thought it to be too easy and therefore unrewarding. I was wrong. I climbed it from Guardsman Pass and assended a couple of smaller peaks first. The wildflowers were vibrant, the rocky ridge before the summit was fun and we had a Golden Eagle fly close overhead just as we approached the summit. I could see over twenty peaks that I have been on from from here. A great short hike!

What an awesome dessert! I made it in an 11" torte pan and glazed it with a chocolate glaze that I found on this site ("Satiny Chocolate Glaze"). After glazing, I cut the torte into 12 slices (next time I will make 16 slices) and put half a large strawberry, cut side down, on each slice by the outer edge. My book club gals loved it and everyone wanted the recipe!!! This is an easy winner!
I'm not sure what happened...i followed the directions exactly but when the torte was done, it was flat like a pancake and fell apart...I baked it in an 8" springform pan...any ideas? it tasted okay, but it wasnt in any shape to be served

This is a truly delicious cake, Passover or not! I am as intense a chocoholic as they come and this cake has now become my favorite, bar none. I made it last night and I got scared towards the end of the baking time because the top looked dried out, so I took it out about 7 minutes shy of what the recipe called for. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to the letter. It turns out I should have trusted the recipe, because the center was more than gooey, it was undercooked. However... that is not the end of the story. My husband and I both had a piece while it was still warm, we couldn't resist after smelling it baking! As described above, the center was hot and very gooey, too gooey, actually, but towards the outer edge it became incredible... dense and moist and chocolatey.... perfect, in fact. I put it in the refrigerator overnight and today it is FABULOUS... even the undercooked inside is now more like the inside of a truffle, and then it gets cakier towards the outside. I am baking another one tonight and will follow the recommended baking time religiously... otherwise, I won't change a thing. I used my coffee grinder to grind the sliced almonds my husband brought home from the store, so, if you're wondering how to grind your almonds, that worked perfectly for me. Turned the almonds into a fine-textured meal, almost like flour.
I HIGHLY recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a rich, decadent and VERY chocolatey dessert. It will not disappoint.
fast, easy, delicious! we topped with confectioner's sugar and raspberries.
tasted even better after chilling in the fridge.
This was just fantastic, much better than any other dessert at our passover party! It didn't last 5 minutes before it had totally disappeared. I didn't frost it, and it was so rich and chocolatey on its own, I was glad that I left it "natural." Thank you Leah.
This was such a hit at passover. I did use the chocolate glaze that others recommended, I think that made it look beautiful. Next time I will serve with berries on the side, esp raspberries or strawberries. I made it in a 9 inch round pan, still using the foil, and the Pam spray with flour and it worked great. I also roasted some raw almonds and ground them in my Magic Bullet. I was even asked to make it for shabbat the next week. Yum!
If I could put 10 stars it would still be too little. Leah, what an amazing receipe! So easy to make and so divinly mouthwatering to taste. You were right! There was not a piece left (shame for me running around seder and not getting any!) Thank you ... Chag Samaech
I made this for my seder and found my son (who loathes deserts)taking a second helping. A definite winner and one I will make time and again.

A Texas company revealed it has acquired about a 10 percent stake in Cedar Fair, giving it a large voice in the company's fate.
News of the acquisition may have helped Cedar Fair's unit price, which closed at $12.19, up 25 cents, at the close of trading Wednesday.
That was on a day when the stock market as a whole was down, said Randy Hunt, branch manager at the Sandusky office of Stifel Nicolaus.
That's well above the $11.50 offered in an acquisition deal with Apollo Global Management, a New York private equity firm.
A proxy statement outlining the deal with Apollo will be mailed out to unitholders in February.
Unitholders will be asked to approve or reject the acquisition, which must be OK'd by votes representing two-thirds of the 55.2 million outstanding units.
An amended filing turned in Wednesday to the Securities and Exchange Commission shows that Q Funding owns 5,434,179 units of Cedar Fair, about 9.8 percent of the about 55.2 million outstanding limited partner units. The document explains Geoffrey Raynor controls the company and has "the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of 5,434,179 units."
Raynor is the founder and principal of Q Investments, an investment company based in Fort Worth, Texas. According to the company's Web site, Q Investments is a private investment firm founded in 1994 that has 69 employees. A phone call to Q Investments on Wednesday wasn't returned.
Wednesday's filing suggests that aggressive buying by Raynor has helped drive up the unit price. The SEC form must be filed to report acquisition of 5 percent or more of equity securities.
The form doesn't specify when Raynor bought his additional units.
Raynor's holdings apparently are larger than other current holdings.
According to the proxy statement Cedar Fair filed earlier this month, as of Nov. 30, Cedar Fair CEO, president and chairman Dick Kinzel owned about 1.87 million units, or 3.4 percent of the total. Jacob Falfas, chief operating officer of Cedar Fair, came in second with 117,210 units.
Jeffrey Thomison, an analyst with Hilliard Lyons who follows Cedar Fair, noted Wednesday it's impossible to tell whether Raynor began his move with a stake just below the 5 percent filing threshold.
Thomison said he continues to maintain a "neutral" rating on whether investors should buy Cedar Fair units.
"I'll probably just watch it closely and see what happens," Thomison said.

Streaky is perfect. I also love your hand-lettered logotype and how nicely your drapery is rendered.
Scratch that.
I hate how your drapery is rendered because mine doesn't look that good ;)
Verification word is "Laggy": what your downloads are like when your neighbors are mooching off of your unsecured WIFI

Foodie Friday is brought to you today by the letter F and by Designs by Gollum. Head on over to her site and check out the amazing melt in your mouth barbecue recipe. Please leave a comment before you run over there.
Halibut is my favorite fish. It is so lean and healthy. Here is a tasty dinner that is so good on a summers evening, though the barbecue is not the cooking method to use this time.
Take a piece of halibut, this is enough for two people. and season it with salt and pepper. Use white pepper if you are concerned about the black specks but I like them. Have ready a generous chunk of butter, the rind from one lime and a half inch chunk of fresh ginger.
Squeeze the juice from the lime and set aside with the zest, ginger and butter. In a heavy pan heat some olive oil with a bit of butter and sear the halibut for a few minutes on one side then carefully turn it over and cook it through for a couple minutes. Don't over cook this yummy fish. Set the fish aside, covered with a foil tent.
Toss in the rest of the butter, ginger, lime zest and lime juice and let it sizzle and reduce slightly. The butter will brown just a little, not too long or it will burn and blacken and that is not good. Pour your ginger lime butter sauce over your fish and serve with some lovely new potatoes and some colourful peppers.
Rememeber this was a platter for two, I could have eaten it all but I didn't. I know how to share and play nice.

Yesterday the American Academy of Pediatrics weighed in on organic food. They found that "an organic diet reduces children's exposure to pesticides," and highlighted studies linking pesticides with many of the childhood health harms included in PAN's recent report, A Generation in Jeopardy.
Unfortunately, media coverage of APA's report has been all over the map. And given the power of headlines to shape public debate in ways that directly impact policymakers' appetite for taking on tough issues, this failure on the part of news desks and editors to report the substance of the science accurately is a serious problem.
This week's controversy surrounding a Stanford study claiming to have established that organic food is no more nutritious than non-organic illustrates the pitfalls of talking about food issues in a consumer frame. And people all around the country are saying so.
Food issues are never solely or even mainly about individual consumer choice — our food and farming system connects us with each other and is by most measures our most impactful daily interaction with the environment.
When my daughter was in kindergarten, she would inspect her friends' strawberries at lunchtime. "No no, you don't want to eat that," she would solemnly inform them. "It's not organic. It might have yucky chemicals on it."
Yucky chemicals indeed. Studies continue to pile up showing how pesticides on food can be harmful, especially to children's health. As we head into the home stretch of the holiday feast season, I've been thinking hard about the powerful ripple effects of our food choices. Turns out, what we eat matters. A lot.
Apples and celery this week. Cilantro a couple back. Stories about pesticide residues on food are making the rounds again. After my umpteenth media call, a blog seemed in order.
As I told the LA Times, here's my basic response: "It's the farmers, farmworkers and residents of rural communities who are really most at risk" from pesticides, not consumers. While these folks are exposed to pesticides from food like the rest of us, they also must contend with pesticide fumes drifting out of fields, exposure from working directly with pesticides, and pesticide-coated dust and dirt tracked into their homes from the fields. Tom Philpott, newly migrated to MotherJones, nails this topic.
In my last post, I asked "Where's the data?" — specifically the latest installment from the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, which tests thousands of food samples for pesticide residues every year. The PDP data is the basis for our WhatsOnMyFood.org website that allows you to see which pesticides are found on food (and in water), how often, in what amounts, and with what associated health risks.
After months of delay, the data is finally out. In a nod to the produce industry (who had complained about "misuse" of the data by "activist groups") the USDA included a two page "What Consumers Should Know" factsheet with the report, but otherwise the presentation of results and data is the same as it's always been. And then there's cilantro.
