May Grooming Guide: Smile, It's Almost Summer
Some years ago, the "New York Times Magazine" ran a cover essay revealing what the rest of the world admired about Americans. Mind you, this was before our reputation was savaged by the "war on terror" - but one somewhat startling result was that the rest of the world admired our teeth. Our big white teeth. Our smiles.
Oh, those were the days - when Americans were admired for their toothy optimism. Well, it's spring again and summer's around the corner - and that's enough to make us smile once more. And given the recent advances in periodontal care, we're focusing some of this month's grooming guide on our pearly whites.
Because, as Louis Armstrong sang, "Smile and the whole world smiles with you." And if you let a smile be your umbrella, your face is guaranteed to shine. And if you keep on smiling, it makes people wonder what you've been up to, which is just what you want when you've got spring in your step and summer's almost here. Because, after all, a smile a day keeps the doctor away. And don't worry, be happy, because as Mae West said, "Don't cry for a man who's left you, because the next one may fall for your smile." After all, smiling is the second best thing you can do with your lips.
Or as Raymond Chandler wrote, "Go ahead, give someone a smile they'll feel in their hip pocket." And then make your face as beautiful as your smile with this month's grooming guide.
Desert Essence: Daily Essential De-Puffing Eye Cream
Of course, with the advent of summer comes late nights. The sun doesn't set until nearly nine and you're out cocktailing by the river, on the rooftop, by the shore until ten - and then eating dinner at midnight. Morning comes and your eyes look like you walked into a bus. That's when you reach for Desert Essence's Daily Essential De-Puffing Eye Cream.
Loaded with antioxidants (to help fight all those free radicals that you unleashed the night before, thanks to your unsavory behaviors), Daily Essential De-Puffing Eye Cream is a rich blend of hibiscus, lavender, and pomegranate extracts, which revives your weary eyes. The organic acerola (vitamin C) helps to smooth your tired skin (especially where that shoe was mashed against your cheekbone), while jojoba oil and vitamin E helps with cellular regeneration.
Founded in 1972, Desert Essence offers a full range of natural and organic skin care products that are both vegetarian and cruelty-free, as well as free of parabens and artificial colors and fragrances. The sustainable skin care line utilizes natural botanicals such as aloe vera, jojoba, and tree tree oil (which they introduced to the States) to create high quality products that are as respectful of the environment as they are effective.
As Desert Essence's motto states, "Beauty blooms in the desert," which might be just how you feel after fixing your face with Daily Essential De-Puffing Eye Cream. From the desert of your hangover, your eyes emerge again - as radiant as the bloom on a hundred-year cactus.
PRICE: $15.99 / 1.0 fl oz / 30 ml

REMBRANDT® Deeply White™ + Peroxide Fresh Mint Toothpaste and REMBRANDT® Deeply White™ + Peroxide Whitening Mouthwash
Finally, these are the products that we've been waiting for: toothpaste and mouthwash, loaded with sodium fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and hydrogen peroxide to visibly whiten teeth. Think about it: you're brushing and gargling and swishing with a product that is cleansing your teeth, strengthening your enamel, whitening your pearlies, and freshening your breath. Talk about multi-tasking - about the only thing these products don't do is windows.
Way back in 1989, Rembrandt was the first company with a whitening toothpaste. For you children too young to remember, this product was somewhat revolutionary - and very expensive (at least relative to the toothpastes your mother was purchasing). As Rembrandt explained to the marketplace, there are two kinds of stains: extrinsic and instrinsic - or surface and deep. Rembrandt proved that a peroxide-based formula whitened teeth - over a period of time.
Rembrandt® Deeply White™+Peroxide Fresh Mint Toothpaste whitens teeth above and below the surface and works by combining both sodium fluoride, an anti-cavity agent, with rapid-release peroxide that, just like the Rembrandt® Deeply White™+Peroxide Whitening Mouthwash, starts working on contact with deep stains.
Here's what you do: brush your teeth. Let's say it again: brush your teeth. Then after you finish brushing, all you do is swish a couple teaspoons of Rembrandt® Deeply White™+Peroxide Whitening Mouthwash in your mouth for sixty seconds. Do this twice a day - and each time you do it, don't eat anything for thirty minutes after. Think about it: this product is a diet aid as well!
Go on now, start gargling - and get your teeth white for Pride!

Frownies: Under Eye & Eyelid Gels
We have them on their face right now - so don't expect us to answer the door. We're going out this evening, so we're wearing Frownies Eye Gels Under Eye & Eyelid Treatment - to be better prepared for our close-up. They look like transparent slugs that have landed under our eyes - and they smell delicious, like roses. Already we can see a difference. Probably no one will recognize us tonight; probably everyone will say, "You look phenomenal!" - before adding, sotto voce, "Did you have work done?"
Nope, it's Frownies Eye Gels. Surely you've heard of them by now. Ever since 1889, Frownies have been eradicating wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging for men and women the world over, particularly those in the entertainment industries. Gloria Swanson famously wore them in "Sunset Boulevard" - and Olivia de Havilland had them sent to her hotels. Even the Kennedy women used them.
We once knew a man who went to retrieve his mother after she'd had some "work" done on her face - and the ensuing trauma of seeing his mother's bandaged and bruised face made him swear that he'd never go under the knife. Perhaps his mother had never considered Frownies.
The signature product of the Frownies empire is Frownies Under Eye & Eyelid Gels (yes, we're still wearing them - ten more minutes), which are all-natural gel patches of cactus collagen, aloe, and other plant-derived natural vitamins. One 30-minute treatment delivers deep hydration (we can feel it happening already), while increasing circulation to that delicate undereye area. The result? Fewer visible lines and wrinkles, negligible dark circles - and a surfeit of compliments. Trust us - this isn't the first time we've worn Frownies Under Eye & Eyelid Gels. We're actually centenarians, but no one ever believes us.
Best of all, each pair of patches can be reused, with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray to activate and help preserve the eye gels. You might think of them as something equivalent to mother's little helpers - and you'll definitely grow as fond of them as you would a goldfish.
PRICE: $37.50 / three pairs of eye gels

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Before the MSM decides to lionize the guy who pranked Governor Walker, maybe they should read this.
Murphy's last great brush with fame was when he wrote this piece, tastefully headlined, "F***k the Troops.
So, 4000 rubes are dead. Cry me the Tigris. Another 30,000 have been seriously wounded. Boo fucking hoo. They got what they asked for—and cool robotic limbs, too.
Likely, just reading the above paragraph made you uncomfortable. But why?
The benevolence of America's "troops" is sacrosanct. Questioning their rectitude simply isn't done. It's the forbidden zone. We may rail against this tragic war, but our soldiers are lauded by all as saints. Why? They volunteered to partake in this savage idiocy, and for this they deserve our utmost respect? I think not.
The nearly two-thirds of us who know this war is bullshit need to stop sucking off the troops. They get enough action raping female soldiers and sodomizing Iraqi detainees. ....
The guy is a hater... and a complete jerk... going way back.

Your security and privacy
Two of the most common topics of questions regarding Google in general, and Google Apps specifically, are security and privacy. We take both topics very seriously and truly believe that our offerings are a great option for customers on both fronts. Our business is built on our users' trust: trust in our ability to properly secure their data and our commitment to respect the privacy of the information they place in our systems by not giving that information to others or using it inappropriately.
In order to help answer some of the many questions we receive and to dispel some common misconceptions we encounter; we have created this FAQ and a corresponding Google Apps security site. We hope this helps to answer some of your questions about Google's position on these important issues!
If you need to report an abuse issue, learn more about reporting abuse issues to our team.
PrivacyWho owns the data that organizations put into Google Apps?
To put it simply, Google does not own your data. We do not take a position on whether the data belongs to the institution signing up for Apps, or the individual user (that's between the two of you), but we know it doesn't belong to us!
The data which you put into our systems is yours, and we believe it should stay that way. We think that means three key things.
- We won't share your data with others except as noted in our Privacy Policy.
- We keep your data as long as you require us to keep it.
- Finally, you should be able to take your data with you if you choose to use external services in conjunction with Google Apps or stop using our services altogether.
Google may only access data in your account in strict compliance with our Privacy Policy and your Customer Agreement. For purposes of providing technical support, an administrator from your domain may choose to grant the Google Support team permission to access accounts in order to resolve a specified issue.
Only the owner and managers of the domain name can create a Google Apps administrative account. Upon signing up, a Google Apps administrator is asked to verify control of the domain by making a change to the DNS records. Without this verification, Google will not allow an administrative account to be opened. None of the Google services can be actively managed for a domain until domain ownership is verified.
After an administrator has verified ownership, other usernames in the account may be granted administrative privileges at the discretion of any administrator.
Non-administrative users on the domain may also contact the Google Apps Support team to request administrative access. The normal domain verification process will take place to ensure that the requestor has domain management rights.
Lastly, any individual who has access to your registered secondary email address can initiate a password reset and access the primary administrator account.
Per your domain's Customer Agreement, Google Apps administrators for a domain can access all end-user accounts and the associated data, as described in our Privacy Policy.
As a domain administrator, you have control of all user names and passwords within your domain. You may access your users' accounts in conformity with the Customer Agreement. We do require that you have a policy about such actions that is published to your end-users.
Google may only share information with third parties in conformity with our Privacy Policy and your Customer Agreement. Google does not share or reveal private user content such as email or personal information with third parties except as required by law (see the Google Transparency Report), on request by a user or system administrator, or to protect our systems. These exceptions include requests by users that Google's support staff access their email messages in order to diagnose problems; when Google is required by law to do so; and when we are compelled to disclose personal information because we reasonably believe it's necessary in order to protect the rights, property or safety of Google, its users and the public.
For full details, please refer to the "Information Sharing" section of our Privacy Policy.
Our systems scan and index emails and some other user data for multiple purposes; this scanning is 100% automated and cannot be turned off. Scanning enables us to, for example, perform spam and malware detection, sort email for features like Priority Inbox, and return fast and powerful search results when users search for information in their accounts. The scanning and indexing that our systems run also enable us to display contextually relevant advertising, including in Gmail. If your domain disables ads, we will not use your data to display such advertising to your users. Domains using the free Standard Edition of Google Apps cannot disable ads.
For more information, see our detailed Privacy Policy, Privacy Principles, and our Google Apps Terms of Service (Google Apps free edition, Google Apps for Work, Google Apps for Education).
We believe that you should have control over your data. Google maintains multiple backup copies of users' content so that we can recover data and restore accounts in case of errors or system failure. When you ask us to delete messages and content, we make reasonable efforts to remove deleted information from our systems within a commercially reasonable amount of time. Learn more.
Please see the Google Transparency Report for information regarding government requests for user data.
Google will take down malware, pornography, child sexual abuse imagery, copyrighted or trademarked content when notified by a third party, or if our systems detect these types of content on Google servers.
Google will contact the primary account administrator in the event content is taken down.Need to report abuse? Please see our Reporting Abuse Incidents page.
Google adheres to the U.S. Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access and Enforcement, and is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Program.
Generally, an organization must decide whether its use of Google Apps is compliant with any regulations it may be subject to.
Please see our Privacy Center for more information: http://www.google.com/privacy.html.
SecurityWhat does a Google Apps SSAE 16/ISAE 3402 Type II audit mean to me?
An independent third party auditor issued Google Apps an unqualified SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402 Type II audit opinion. Google is proud to provide Google Apps administrators the peace of mind knowing that their data is secure under the SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402 auditing industry standards.
The independent third party auditor verified that Google Apps has the following controls and protocols in place:
- Logical security: Controls provide reasonable assurance that logical access to Google Apps production systems and data is restricted to authorized individuals
- Privacy: Controls provide reasonable assurance that Google has implemented policies and procedures addressing the privacy of customer data related to Google Apps
- Data center physical security: Controls provide reasonable assurance that data centers that house Google Apps data and corporate offices are protected
- Incident management and availability: Controls provide reasonable assurance that Google Apps systems are redundant and incidents are properly reported, responded to, and recorded
- Change management: Controls provide reasonable assurance that development of and changes to Google Apps undergo testing and independent code review prior to release into production
- Organization and administration: Controls provide reasonable assurance that management provides the infrastructure and mechanisms to track and communicate initiatives within the company that impact Google Apps
An independent third party auditor issued Google Apps an unqualified SAS70 Type II certification. Google is proud to provide Google Apps administrators the peace of mind knowing that their data is secure under the SAS70 auditing industry standard.

Your data will be stored in Google's network of data centers. Google maintains a number of geographically distributed data centers (see location information). Google's computing clusters are designed with resiliency and redundancy in mind, eliminating any single point of failure and minimizing the impact of common equipment failures and environmental risks.
Access to data centers is very limited to only authorized select Google employees personnel.
Yes. Data is virtually protected as if it were on its own server. Unauthorized parties cannot access your data. Your competitors cannot access your data, and vice versa. In fact, all user accounts are protected via this virtual lock and key that ensures that one user cannot see another user's data. This is similar to how customer data is segmented in other shared infrastructures such as online banking applications.
Google Apps has received a satisfactory SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402 Type II audit. This means that an independent auditor has examined the controls protecting the data in Google Apps (including logical security, privacy, Data Center security, etc) and provided reasonable assurance that these controls are in place and operating effectively.
To generate passwords for new user accounts, Google uses a mixed pattern of symbols, upper and lower case letters, and numbers. The length of the password will be the greater of the required minimum (8), or the minimum password length you've set for your domain.
Once an administrator or end-user has deleted any data in Google Apps, we delete it according to your Customer Agreement and our Privacy Policy.
Data is irretrievable once an administrator deletes a user account. See the Help Center for best practices for deleting users.
If you need to recover email messages, Google offers additional archiving products that can complement Google Apps for Work, Government and Education editions. For non-email data recovery solutions, please consult the Google Apps Marketplace where one of our partners may have a solution suitable for your needs.
Google, an established provider of web-based services has gone to great lengths to protect against threats. Google runs its data centers using custom hardware running a custom OS and filesystem. Each of these systems has been optimized for security and performance. The Google Security Team is working with external parties to constantly test and enhance security infrastructure to ensure it is impervious to external attackers. And because Google controls the entire stack running our systems, we are able to quickly respond to any threats or weaknesses that may emerge.
Google maintains a number of geographically distributed data centers. Google's computing clusters are designed with resiliency and redundancy in mind, eliminating single points of failure and minimizing the impact of common equipment failures and environmental risks. Access to our data centers is restricted to authorized personnel.
Google products and services go through a series of security reviews. If a security flaw is found in an application or infrastructure component, we evaluate the risk and respond accordingly. Because we are hosting the applications in our own data centers, we can quickly deploy fixes to all our systems without requiring any action on your part.
We enjoy working with an array of researchers to improve Google security. We also have the Google Vulnerability Reward program designed to encourage new researchers and the types of reports that help make our users safer.
The application and network architecture run by Google is designed for maximum reliability and uptime. Google's computing platform assumes ongoing hardware failure, and robust software fail-over withstands this disruption. All Google systems are inherently redundant by design, and each subsystem is not dependent on any particular physical or logical server for ongoing operation. Data is replicated multiple times across Google's clustered active servers, so, in the case of a machine failure, data will still be accessible through another system. We also replicate data to secondary data centers to ensure safety from data center failures.
Google Apps services provide the ability to access all data using HTTPS encrypted tunnels. Customers can choose to require this option for their users, which helps ensure that no one except the user has access to his or her data. This is true for access to Gmail, Calendar, and Chat, Drive and Sites data via our web applications. The mobile email client also uses encrypted access to ensure the privacy of communications. We do not offer encryption on the Start Page or Google Video service at this time. We also require encryption for access to your mail data by third-party email clients.
To help protect you against identity theft, we don't allow unauthorized non-Google webpages to collect your Google username and password. Otherwise, a malicious website that wanted to steal your password could more easily pose as a friendly site. This form of fraud is called phishing.
If you're ever in doubt, take a look at the internet address that's displayed in your browser's address bar. If the address isn't a Google website, don't enter your Google username and password.
One exception to this policy is the single sign-on feature offered in Google Apps for Work. Administrators can integrate Google services with existing web pages to provide a smooth user experience. Learn more
Google has one of the best spam blockers in the business, and it's integrated into Google Apps. Spam is purged every 30 days. We have built in virus checking, and we enforce checking of documents before allowing a user to download any message. Most computer viruses are contained in executable files, so standard virus detectors scan messages for executable files that appear to be viruses. Google helps block viruses in the most direct possible way: by not allowing users to receive executable files (such as files ending in .exe) that could contain damaging executable code; even if they are sent in a compressed (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format.
Google supplies Chrome™ and Firefox® users with constantly updated filters against phishing and malware.
By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Google downloads to your browser a list of information about sites that may engage in phishing or contain malicious software. Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.Need to report abuse? Please see our Reporting Abuse Incidents page.
CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a type of security measure known as challenge-response authentication. It is a login verification test that only a human can complete, protecting your account from spam, password decryption, and other forms of unauthorized digital account access. Google uses CAPTCHA to strengthen the security around the most sensitive account access points. Read more about CAPTCHA.
Publishing your SPF records will secure your domain name from anyone attempting to spoof your domain.
SPF allows a domain owner to use a special format of DNS TXT records to specify which machines/hosts are authorized to transmit email for their domain, making it difficult to forge From: addresses.
We strongly encourage you to publish SPF records for your domain.Need to report abuse? Please see our Reporting Abuse Incidents page.
If Google identifies a Google Apps email user who is spamming, we reserve the right to immediately suspend the user. If the spam is domain-wide, we reserve the right to suspend the entire account and deny administrator access to all the Google Apps services. This is in accordance with the Google Apps Acceptable Use Policy.
We will notify the registered secondary email address of any spam violations.Need to report abuse? Please see our Reporting Abuse Incidents page.
Google Apps integrates with standard web single sign-on systems using the SAML 2.0 standard. Organizations can do the integration themselves, or work with a Google partner to accomplish this.
Yes, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)/TLS (Transport Layer Security) connectivity is available for all Google Apps customers and is enabled by default for new customers.
SSL/TLS is a protocol that provides secure communications on the internet for such things as web browsing, email, instant messaging and other data transfers. If you enable HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) connections, Google will force HTTPS when your users access most services in Google Apps. HTTPS varies by service and is available for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sites, and Chat. For more information on enabling SSL, see the Help Center.
The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, or "FISMA", is a United States federal law pertaining to the information security of federal agencies' information systems. FISMA applies to all information systems used or operated by U.S. federal agencies -- or by contractors or other organizations on behalf of the government. Google Apps for Government has received an authority to operate at the FISMA-Moderate level -- the standard level for Federal email systems -- from the U.S. federal government.
If you want to learn more about FISMA, there is a very thorough entry on Wikipedia.
Yes, Google Apps support SSL/TLS for SMTP communications and will use TLS to send outbound emails if the recipient party offers TLS.

Guest blog post from Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
Sure the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for the safety of our nation's leaders and foreign dignitaries. However, their duties apparently don't end there—as one "lucky duck" and her babies learned firsthand.
Yesterday, the mother duck and babies decided to pay a visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In order to reach the White House garden, the mother had no trouble hopping over a short curb. To the tiny ducklings, however, it might as well have been Mount Everest. They huddled together, unable to hurdle the barrier.
As a crowd of tourists and onlookers gathered, two uniformed Secret Service officers standing nearby decided to help out. First, they tried to construct a makeshift ramp, but the skittish babies preferred to hide underneath it. Finally, the officers took direct action, carefully scooping up the ducklings and reuniting them with their mother while the audience cheered.
While the ASPCA works hard on local and nationwide efforts to improve the treatment of animals, this simple act of kindness serves as a reminder that each of us is capable of making a difference. The ASPCA thanks these two officers for exemplifying that potential.
Check out a video of the ducklings' predicament and happy ending.
Sure, National Puppy Day is the perfect time to celebrate the super-cuteness of puppies…but it's also the time to speak out about the cruelties associated with puppy mills and further our mission for a nation of puppy-free pet stores. To help you celebrate, we've come up with a few actions you can take today to help end puppy mill abuse:
Take the Puppy Mill Pledge
That puppy who charmed you through the pet shop window most likely came from a puppy mill. Please sign our pledge against puppy mills and promise not to buy your next pet or any pet supplies from retail stores that sell puppies.
Join the Fight
Inform your state and federal legislators that you are disturbed by the inhumane treatment of dogs in puppy mills, and would like to see legislation passed to protect these dogs. Keep up to date on legislation to ban puppy mills by joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade.
Speak Out
If someone you know is planning on buying a puppy, please direct them to our puppy mill information page. Let them know that there are perfectly adorable dogs—of all breeds and sizes—waiting to be adopted at shelters across the nation.
Donate Your Facebook Status or Tweet
Give your status update or tweet to an adoptable dog. It's the best way to help animals find the forever homes they deserve.
Can we say victory!? In response to concerns raised by the ASPCA and our "No Pet Store Puppies" campaign, measures will be put in place to ensure that puppy mill dogs will no longer be sold on Marketplace on Facebook. The ASPCA is working with Facebook and Oodle, the online classifieds service that powers Marketplace on Facebook, to restrict the sale of puppy mill dogs on the social media site. The ads placed by puppy mills have already started coming down.
You may not know this, but many puppies sold online come from puppy mills where dogs are often kept in filthy, overcrowded and cruel conditions. Plus, puppy mills that sell directly to consumers via the Internet are exempt from any federal oversight! The Internet Crime Complaint Center notes that hundreds of complaints are filed every year from victims who are scammed when buying a dog online.
Take Action
Want to help stop cruel puppy mills? Sign our online pledge not to buy any items—including food, supplies or toys—from stores or websites that sell puppies. To learn more about the ASPCA's campaign to eradicate puppy mills, please visit www.NoPetStorePuppies.com.
Ed Sayres, ASPCA President & CEO
Americans overwhelmingly believe that food from our farms should be safe to eat and that farm animals should not be abused for its production. So it is disturbing that legislators in a number of states throughout the country are considering—and passing—legislation known as "Ag-Gag" bills that would cripple the ability of investigators to expose animal abuse and food safety concerns. Many Ag-Gag bills criminalize taking photos or videos on farms to expose problems such as animal cruelty, environmental and labor violations, and other illegal or unethical behavior. Simply put, Ag-Gag legislation poses a danger to the American public as well as to animals.
Four years ago, undercover video led to the largest beef recall in U.S. history. The video, taken at Hallmark Meat Packing Co. in Chino, California, revealed workers at the slaughter plant kicking sick cows, ramming cows with the blades of a forklift, and torturing crippled cows to force them to walk to slaughter. In that case, the slaughterhouse that was shut down was also the second largest beef supplier to the National School Lunch Program, so these irresponsible and inhumane acts endangered the health of scores of American schoolchildren.
Legislators bent on suppressing exposés through the passage of Ag-Gag legislation are not only harming animals, but putting all of us—including our children—in jeopardy by preventing our access to critical information about our food supply. They also threaten our constitutional rights by stifling dissemination of information and chipping away at our First Amendment protections.
It's ironic when you think about it. The individuals targeted by Ag-Gag laws are not the criminals who are beating or stabbing animals (as seen on some undercover videos). Instead, the bills would punish the whistleblowers, the people who dare to lift the veil on these oft-hidden cruelties. The language in the bills varies somewhat state to state, but in many cases the penalties for exposing cruelty may be harsher than those for the actual commission of cruelty. In a number of states the proposed legislation would prevent documenting not only the abuse of farm animals, but also could prohibit investigations of puppy mills and dog racing.
Lawmakers who support Ag-Gag bills do so because they are accommodating the agribusiness lobby, not because it is in the interest of their constituents. In fact, a recent national poll by Lake Research Partners found that 71% of Americans support undercover investigative efforts to expose farm animal abuse on industrial farms.
According to the Lake Research poll, opposition to Ag-Gag legislation is steadfast across demographic, geographic and partisan lines. A majority of Republicans, Democrats and Independents agree that banning undercover investigations is wrong. Likewise, a majority of respondents in all regions (Northeast, Midwest, South and West) oppose the criminalization of undercover investigations at farms. No matter the demographics, Americans don't want to be deemed criminals for exposing wrongdoing.
Twenty-seven national organizations and experts—from animal welfare groups to civil liberties, public health and workers' rights associations—have united to oppose Ag-Gag bills. These groups, including the ASPCA, have signed a letter stating, in part:
. . . These bills represent a wholesale assault on many fundamental values shared by all people across the United States. Not only would these bills perpetuate animal abuse on industrial farms, they would also threaten workers' rights, consumer health and safety, and the freedom of journalists, employees and the public at large to share information about something as fundamental as our food supply. We call on state legislators around the nation to drop or vote against these dangerous and un-American efforts.
Ag-Gag laws are an affront to many values Americans hold dear. If you live in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee or New York, you should be especially concerned since Ag-Gag laws are now pending in your state legislatures. Please contact your legislators to let them know that Ag-Gag laws are dangerous for people and animals.
On Friday, March 16, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents arrested a Queens man in the deadly beating of a cat. Richard Ferrugio, 49, is suspected of using a tire iron to bludgeon a black-and-white cat to death on the sidewalk in front of several witnesses—including children—then driving away from the scene.
The ASPCA investigated a call about the beating on March 8 and, after a thorough investigation, identified Ferrugio as the suspect. Ferrugio has been charged with one count of felony animal cruelty and one count of criminal possession of a weapon. If convicted, Ferrugio could face up to two years in prison on the animal cruelty count.
This alleged animal abuser is now facing the consequences thanks to a citizen who took action. If you suspect an animal may be the victim of neglect or abuse, don't wait—report it!

Soon, Lucky realizes he needs a bigger score to fulfill his goals of making it big, and escaping from the slums, to a dream house by the sea. Kunene hatches an elaborate and violent plan to make his fortune - hijacking buildings from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favor of the tenants and then holding their rent hostage from the landowners. His trouble with the law, coupled with an escalating war between a local drug lord, creates a tense standoff: both sides are closing in, and Kunene must stay one step aheador his empire, and his life, will come crashing down.

Shane van Gisbergen ended Mark Winterbottom's dominance of the MSS Security V8 Supercars Challenge, but Winterbottom was still the big winner at the 2012 Formula 1 QANTAS Australian Grand Prix.
Stone Brothers Racing driver van Gisbergen won the final race, while fifth was enough for Winterbottom to win the weekend and pocket the $100,000 major prize, having won the three earlier races.
The race start was Ford Performance Racing star Winterbottom's Achilles heel, dropping from pole position to fourth by the first corner as Garth Tander swooped into the lead. Further back, Greg Murphy – who started ninth – was turned around as the rest of the field took evasive action.
Tander started the 15-lap race on the harder tyre but pitted at the end of the first lap to switch to the softer Sprint Tyres. That handed the lead to Will Davison and Lee Holdsworth, both on Sprints, and van Gisbergen on the hard tyre.
At the end of Lap 3, van Gisbergen and Winterbottom pitted for the faster rubber while Davison, Holdsworth and David Reynolds worked to build a buffer. When Davison and Holdsworth pitted for their compulsory tyre stop on Lap 8, Davison – now on the hard tyre – rejoined immediately in-front of Tander, Fabian Coulthard and van Gisbergen, but was quickly passed.
As tyre life came to the fore, so did van Gisbergen. He passed Coulthard and then Tander to take the lead, going on to win by 2.6s over Tander and Coulthard.
"We decided to run a bit longer on the hard tyre because our softs weren't in the best condition. We were struggling to do 12 or 13 laps in the previous days and that's what we needed to do today," van Gisbergen said.
"I pushed hard for the first few laps and I was actually sort of keeping pace with the soft tyre runners. We pitted for softs and Garth and Fabian had run a few more laps so they had quite a gap, but I stuck to a lap time and caught them. By running those few extra laps on the hards, I could keep a pretty good pace on the softs.
"It was pretty cool to come out and get a win here."
Davison was fourth, leading home Ford Performance Racing stable-mates Winterbottom and Reynolds. The result was enough for Winterbottom to win the MSS Security V8 Supercars Challenge.
"It's been a good weekend," Winterbottom said.
"We made some changes overnight and I was interested to see how it went. On the hard tyre, it's so slippery on [grid position] 1 – all weekend, I've just been trying to get it off the line – and you get swamped because the guys on soft tyres get better starts, and that hurt me.
"We really struggled in that race on the hard tyre, I didn't have much grip at all. But then we put the soft tyre on and we were the quickest car on the track and started to pull cars in."
Holdsworth was seventh in today's race, ahead of Craig Lowndes, Todd and Rick Kelly. Lowndes' team-mate Jamie Whincup was forced out early with a brake problem, capping a strange weekend for TeamVodafone. Having suffered an engine problem in Race 2, Lowndes was 12th in the weekend points, with Whincup 19th after yesterday's opening lap incident.

Shooting sports enthusiasts in the county say they are not sure why they are having a harder time than ever finding ammunition and other supplies to pursue their hobby.
But they do know they are spending more and traveling farther to get bullets for a session of target practice or shells for a few hours shooting clay pigeons.
Supplies are short and unpredictable at locally owned as well as national chain stores in the area, shop visits and conversations with managers and customers confirmed.
"You can still find it if you know where to go," said Dick Chiapparoli, range coordinator for the Izaak Walton League of America's Rockville chapter.
But it may mean calling around and trekking farther afield, around or outside the county or in another state, Chiapparoli and others said.
To get the ammunition their firearms require, some folks are driving to Pennsylvania, said Lee Hays, who is first vice president of Izaak Walton's Rockville chapter.
"Seems to be no problem there," Hays said.
However, short supplies have been reported in communities across the country.
Stephen Schneider, who owns Atlantic Guns in Silver Spring and Rockville, said he recently turned down a large ammunition order from a university police department because he could not fill it.
The police department, which he declined to identify, needed the ammunition for qualifying officers on the shooting range, Schneider said.
Montgomery County Police did not return calls about whether they have been able to get all the ammunition they need.
Maryland State Police have had enough ammunition, so far, to supply the department and its training needs, although they have adjusted some training dates to cope with delayed supplies, said spokeswoman Elena Russo.
"The solution to the supply problem, obviously, is building a two-year supply to offset any delayed shipments," Russo said.
As for the reason for the shortage, Schneider said, "I don't know for sure why it's happening."
National Shooting Sports Foundation spokesman Mike Bazinet said his organization believes "it's a consumer-driven shortage" that stems from growing interest in shooting sports and people's heightened concerns that they could lose access to some firearms and ammunition.
Since the end of the year, there probably has been some hoarding, Schneider said, particularly in the wake of mass shootings that led to calls for more restrictions on guns and ammunition.
"But that doesn't answer why it hasn't caught up by now," he said, and distributors have told him they don't know either.
Schneider said he probably gets 10 percent of the ammunition he orders.
At The Gun Rack in Burtonsville, owner Alan Rolinec estimated that shortages probably have caused him to have to turn away 75 percent of customers' ammunition requests.
"It's the first time in 28 years I've been out of 9 millimeter [bullets]," Rolinec said, adding that when he gets a couple of cases, he sells it all within a couple of days.
Finding popular handgun ammunition has become even harder than finding the right shotgun shells, sellers and buyers agreed.
At Dick's Sporting Goods in Gaithersburg, a sign posted on lightly stocked shelves cites "high demand" as the reason the store "is limiting all rifle and pistol ammunition to three boxes per customer."
Sometimes lines at Dick's are so long on delivery days that employees hand out numbers so that elderly or handicapped customers don't have to stand in line, an associate whose name tag identified him as "Ron" confirmed.
Pickings also have become slim for shotgun shells.
"It used to be people would get on you if you didn't pick up your [spent shotgun] shells, [but] now people will pick them up for you," Chiapparoli said, because they are reloading and reusing them as new ones are harder to find.
Now some reloading equipment and supplies are scarce, he said.
Several ammunition manufacturers did not return calls about why ammunition supplies have lagged behind demand.
Bazinet of the National Shooting Sports Foundation said the shortage seems more pronounced in some parts of the country, but that almost all ammunition manufacturers are gearing up to increase output.
Remington Arms Company LLC, of Madison, N.C., announced in May that the company plans a major expansion of its Lonoke, Ark., ammunition manufacturing plant. The company said it wanted to increase availability and decrease waiting time.

September 2012 COTM My Calabria: Vegetables, The Calabrian Pantry, Desserts
Please post your reports here for these dishes:
Vegetables…..233 - 268
The Calabrian Pantry…..269 - 310
Desserts…..311 - 360
The Chowhound Team has asked me to remind you that verbatim copying of recipes to the boards is a violation of the copyright of the original author. Posts with copied recipes will be removed.
Please check to see if the recipe you're reviewing already has a report. If so, reply to that post. That will help to keep order in the thread.
I originally posted this elsewhere when I made the dish but thought I'd re-post here now:
Funghi con Pomodoro – p. 254
Tomatoes and wild mushrooms are abundant at our local market so this dish seemed like the perfect accompaniment to our grilled steak. I used chilli flakes vs the whole dry chilli and a mix of cherry tomatoes and chopped zebras. I also added some chopped garlic. This was a simple dish but the flavours were big and bold. We'll definitely have this again. High heat cooking ensured the mushrooms stayed dry and caramelized. Delicious! I also grilled some panini that I'd spread with the lovely basil compound butter from FWAD.
"Peaches" with Pastry Cream p. 333
These were not hard to do, but time will be consumed. I was afraid shaping the cookies would be tricky, but two slightly flattened spheres do the trick.
The dough is butter, flour, sugar, milk, eggs, baking powder -- and lemon zest makes a nice hint/scent of fruit. The cookie is of course soft when warm, and you excavate a little hollow in each one -- pastry cream will go inside. (This isn't hard to do and goes pretty fast.) They do firm up when cool, but aren't crisp or brittle like shortbread.
The pastry cream is milk, more lemon zest, egg yolks, sugar, and flour. Lemon-peel-steeped milk is combined with well-whisked sugar and yolks, thickened with flour, cooked 'til thick enough to hold its own. When cool, the pastry cream fills the hollows you've carved and sticks two cookies together.
Then you paint, with a pastry brush and colored rum, each "peach".
The book also suggests using maraschino liqueur (which is clear), and peach schnapps.
It took more food coloring than I thought it would (red and yellow) to color a small amount of rum. But YMMV -- proceed with caution! This painting is messy -- my silicone pastry brush just slopped liquid, it didn't really *brush*. But in no time I had some orangey balls. Let them dry just a minute or so, to soak in the booze, and roll in sugar to mimic peach fuzz.
Below, a branchlet from my backyard peach tree and a plate of these Pesche con Crema -- can you tell which is which? :)
re: blue room
First of all br, the peaches from your yard look stunning! I'm so craving one...picture perfect peaches! Your cookies look amazing and I wish I could reach into the screen and have one right now! Alas, I don't think I'll be making these but I really enjoyed reading your post and wish someone would make these for me!!
re: Breadcrumbs
Thank you, Breadcrumbs and qianning.
Yes, the peaches are nice like that every year -- they aren't much bigger than golf balls though.
By the way, if anyone does make these, I'd suggest fine-grained sugar (NOT powdered) for the "peach fuzz" -- it would look more delicate.
re: blue room
re: blue room
Fresh peaches from your own tree, what a treat that must be!
Both photos look fantastically tantalizing, great job!
re: blue room
Really good job blue room! Beautiful. So ... how were they (or did I miss that in being stunned by how pretty they look?)?
re: LulusMom
They are sweet and gently lemony, even more gently boozy. To eat, you pick one up, twist, then you have one half in each hand. Lick the pastry cream off or just bite into the cookie -- your choice. Actually, I've googled other recipes for the same since making them, and some people mix chopped nuts and chocolate to fill the "pit" hollow. When I was making them I was thinking how almost anything could provide the flavor, inside and out. As they are now though, a mild flavor.
re: blue room
That is just lovely Blue room! Both your peaches, and the filled cookies. Great idea to phtograph both.
I am excited to pick up my copy from the library tomorrow. It finally came in.....
Parmigiana di Melanzane (Eggplant Parmigiana with Fresh Ricotta), p. 252
The author explains in the headnote how this is a much lighter version of this dish than is traditional. The eggplant is cut crosswise into rounds, salted, brushed with oil, and baked for 10 minutes per side. Then it is layered in a baking dish with the quick tomato sauce from p. 53, whole milk ricotta, and grated pecorino or or Parmigiano cheese. In the headnotes, the author states a preference for pecorino here, so that is what I used. It makes the recipe title a misnomer, but so be it.
This dish is so simple, but absolutely delicious. The simple tomato sauce deserves a post of it's own, so I'll give it one, but for now I'll just say the the bright, pure tomato flavor of that sauce was a perfect foil to the creamy ricotta. The eggplant softened up beautifully without being greasy or soggy. And the pecorino was, I'm convinced, the right choice, being a brighter, tangier flavor than Parmigiano.
re: Breadcrumbs
Apparently great minds not only think alike, but get up at the same time in the morning!
I too, see a grilled version in my future. I think it would be sublime.
re: MelMM
Very funny isn't it Mel? I've asked the mods to delete what's left of my original post...for some reason it's not letting me delete the photos.
I was eyeing the zucchini parm recipe in the book but I feel like I'd prefer to roast or grill the zucchini vs fry it since this technique worked so well. We'll see.
re: Breadcrumbs
I was eying that same recipe. I even picked up some zucchini yesterday with it in mind.
re: MelMM
Parmigiana di Melanzane – Eggplant Parmigiana with Fresh Ricotta – p. 252
This is a wonderful version of one of my absolute favourite Italian dishes. The author is quick to point out that this recipe is not a traditional Calabrese preparation in that the sliced soppressata and hard boiled eggs are omitted and the Caciocavallo cheese is replaced w fresh ricotta. Feeling the traditional dish was too rich for her palate, the author adapted a recipe for a dish she enjoyed at a restaurant in Scalea. Though she notes that the Calabrese normally fry the eggplant slices (as did I up until now), in her version the eggplant is roasted or grilled.
Preparation is very straightforward and, if you have the Quick Tomato Sauce on hand (recipe p. 53) then you'll have very few ingredients to work with as you pull this together. Eggplants are sliced and placed on a parchment lined baking sheet then brushed w evoo and dusted w kosher salt before roasting @ 400° until lightly browned and tender. Though the author suggests this will take approx 20 mins, it took 30 in my case. While my eggplant were getting soft, they weren't browning and next time I make this I may use convection to see if that helps dissipate some of the steam and shortens the process.
Slices of cooked eggplant are placed atop a thin layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish. Eggplant is then topped w more tomato sauce, grated pecorino and dollops of fresh ricotta. This process is repeated and if all goes well you'll end w a layer of eggplant which you'll top w a final layer of sauce. In my case, things didn't quite work out that way. I would have needed to use a smaller pan to have more layers however, if that were the case, the recommended 2.5" deep pan would have been inadequate as my rectangular pan was that depth and my ingredients almost filled the pan. I ended up spreading the final (small amount) of sauce atop a cheese layer and popped the dish in the oven to bake. RC recommends 30 mins @ 400° however mine took about 45 mins.
I did make one slight adaptation on the recommended ingredients. I had approx ¾ cup of grated mozzarella on hand so I sprinkled it in with the cheese layers to use it up.
This was exceptional and one of the best eggplant Parmesan dishes I can recall making. mr bc, a confirmed eggplant-hater said he "loved" this dish and felt it was just as good as his favourite lasagna. I couldn't have been happier!! I can't wait to make this again w grilled eggplant, I'll bet that will be spectacular.
Quick Tomato Sauce review & photo posted here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8661...
re: Breadcrumbs
It is so heartening to hear you say Mr. Breadcrumbs hates eggplant, loves this. Every time I cook eggplant I'm appalled at the oil -- but this way maybe will work. And of course the rest of it looks delicious. I now have rennet and (plastic) basket molds at the ready for my homemade ricotta too. Probably next week.
re: Breadcrumbs
Parmigiana di Melanzane, p. 252
If not for all the raves here, I'd likely not have tried this: I got my husband to eat (and learn to love) eggplant with eggplant parmigiana--the one that involves breading and frying slices (that absorb tons of OO) and lots of mozzarella (not to mention a fair amount of work). In fact, he always asks for it (AND Veal Parm!) for his birthday, so I was a little afraid to mess with one of his favorites. Add to that that he's not overly fond of ricotta in baked dishes and that I'd once tried baking eggplant EP and ended up with chewy, dried out slices.
Clearly, my technique had been all wrong. I loved the way these slices worked in the finished dish. They were creamy, and my husband didn't even realize they weren't fried. I doubt I'll go back to frying (though I did miss--just a tad--the breadcrumbs).
I made about 1/3 the recipe, using the Quick Tomato Sauce (p. 53), and 1 lb of eggplant; because of the size of my baking dish, I ended up with only three layers. I used a goat milk ricotta from one of my favorite FM vendors, as it was all he had, but he assured me that it was mild tasting (and it was), and a good pecorino romano. Although the initial eggplant baking/browning took longer than the recipe suggests (30-35 minutes in my case), I baked the completed dish for the recommeneded 30 minutes, and it was perfect. We ate this with some grilled sweet Italian sausage, asparagus, and a little cucumber, grape tomato, and onion salad..
Once again, COTM reports force me out of my comfort zone. We both loved this lighter, less labor-intensive version; DH said he'd gladly settle for it any time--but also said he wouldn't mind if I added a little mozzarella next time.
re: nomadchowwoman
ncw I love that this worked so well for you and know exactly what you mean about the impact of the COTM on your cooking. Tonight I made a COTM dish I'd never have noticed had it not been for the buzz here. Also, what a beautiful baking dish...will you tell us more about it? (aside from cookbooks, I also have a bit of a thing for kitchenware...go figure!!)
re: Breadcrumbs
Yes, it's funny about COTM--I've had this cookbook a while, and not much in it interested me until this month. Although I haven't had as much time for cooking, I've got several recipes marked after reading all the reports.
And I may as well 'fess up--kitchenware is my other addiction too. This particular dish is something I picked up on the clearance shelf at TJMaxx a few years ago (a place I try to stay out of as I can always find something for the kitchen that is such a bargain, you know?). I love the color and the scalloped edges, but what I really love is the size--perfect when I'm cooking for two.
re: nomadchowwoman
Here in Canada we have Winners which is a TJX Company and the TJMaxx counterpart here. We also have HomeSense vs HomeGoods and like you, I try to avoid them as inevitably I end up coming home w some item I just can't pass up and don't have any space for! I love that dish, it's beautiful!
re: MelMM
I am attempting this dish as I type, sauce is on the stove and eggplant is in the oven.
I do not, unfortunately, have the book yet!
You and breadcrumbs gave such great descriptions earlier that I felt compelled to wing it.
Any advice or proportions you think I need would be most appreciative.
It smells good in here already, even though it's hot as heck. Oh well, laboring on labor days to make up for all those days of vacation!
re: rabaja
rabaja kudos to you! 1/4 cup of sauce on the bottom of your 2 - 2.5 L. baking pan (at least 2.5" deep). eggplant layer next, don't overlap (according to the book) top w 1/2 c. sauce then 2 tbsp pecorino then approx 2/3c ricotta in small evenly spaced dollops. Repeat 2 more times but don't sweat it if you can't...see my post. finish w 2tbsp pecorino. Bake until bubbly hot and the author says to rest for 30 mins...which I did. We just had leftovers tonight and it was even better than day 1...buon appetito rabaja...let us know how it turns out.
re: Breadcrumbs
Thank you so very much breadcrumbs!
You are my life saver!
re: rabaja
Can't wait to hear how you like it. mr bc loves it and even preferred it to his chicken tonight...high praise from a confirmed meat-eater!
re: Breadcrumbs
Parmigiana di Melanzane
Ok, we loved this dish. It was so simple and delicious, and it just sang out End of Summer. Using produce from our own garden was icing on the cake.
I'd harvested almost 11 lbs. of tomatoes yesterday morning, so I made a triple batch of sauce. It was a mixture of Early Girls and Heirlooms, which yielded a slightly watery sauce, but I cooked it down a little more at the end and it had a nice body when all was said and done. Loved how simple the ingredients were, and I used great restraint with my garlic and basil leaves, although I decided to put the sauce through my food mill when it had cooled some, so the garlic was pureed in.
-I just couldn't throw away the juice from my tomatoes after peeling them, but I wanted to get rid of the seeds, so this was my compromise. I now have almost 4quarts of tomato sauce in my fridge and freezer, with really very little effort.
I guessed on the amount of eggplant to roast, and didn't really end up with quite enough to make three even layers in the parmigiana, but almost. I sliced up a rosa bianca and a traditional globe and oiled them on one side and roasted at 400 on a rack, so no turning. They got nice and tender and brown. Love the no-frying required in this recipe.
Once I had my sauce and eggplant it was smooth sailing, thanks to Breadcrumbs quick response. I ladled and layered and dolloped and sprinkled, filling my almost 2 qt. gratin easily. I used a sheeps milk ricotta and the suggested pecorino.
Into the oven for 40 minutes, gave it an extra long rest while we cleaned up a painting project. -that is a testimony to how easy this dish was to put together. I made the sauce and the completed dish after painting my living room. Take-out was not ordered. Woot!
It was very well received, but I don't think it would have been a replacement for a meat dish with my husband. We grilled pork chops and had those with the parmigiana and sautéed spinach. Maybe one generous serving leftover, but that's only because I started with only two eggplant. Next time I'd double that, though they were home grown so probably smaller than what you may find in the market.
Looking forward to getting this book from the library soon, and again, a great big Thank You to Breadcrumbs!
re: rabaja
You are so welcome rabaja and I'm glad you enjoyed this. It really is a quick and delicious dish isn't it? The roasting of the eggplant is revolutionary for me...I'll never look back!! Of course I will try grilling before the summer's out though. Glad this worked out for you!
re: rabaja
I think using a food mill instead of seeding tomatoes is a very classic Italian technique... at my friend Sly's cooking school in Puglia, this week is 'tomato sauce week', when they put up all the tomatoes for a YEARS worth of sauce.
They do it like that, cauldron's and cauldrons of roma tomatoes cooked with just a bit of bay leaf, garlic and one sprig of thyme and oregano per giant pot. All goes through a food mill (big industrial version that travels on a truck from house to house doing this for all the Italian ladies in the area), then put up in bottles saved all year... usually they do over 600 bottles during this week at his school!
Glad you like this way of making eggplant parm. I do it this way always - but usually grill my eggplant. So light, easy to digest, and as good as lasagna with less calories and carbs.
re: MelMM
Parmigiana di Melanzane (Eggplant Parmigiana with Fresh Ricotta) p. 252
I have not had this dish since I was in my teens. In the version I knew, the eggplant was deep-fried in breadcrumbs and then layered with a heavy tomato sauce with lots of mozzarella cheese. I've always loved eggplant (especially tempura), but eggplant parmesan (the way I knew it) was never a favorite. Based on the reviews and having a lonely eggplant in the fridge, I decided to give it a try and am glad I did. Tender eggplant, bright tomato sauce, and creamy ricotta make for a delightful combination of flavors. Uncomplicated and tasty. I hope to try the zucchini version, but plan to oven roast the zucchini instead of fry.
re: BigSal
I made this too, and this was much the best eggplant parm I've had!
re: MelMM
Another rave for the eggplant parm. I didn't have a good sized casserole dish so I made two small ones, but I was able to achieve the correct number of layers in both. I also had to Bake the dish for longer than 30 minutes as my oven is slow, and so the top dried up a bit. I was wishing for a bit more sauce. Still it was absolutely delicious. I used her quick tomato sauce and fresh ricotta from joes dairy in NYC and pecorino Romano for the hard cheese, and the flavors went incredibly well with the eggplant. My favorite thing about this dish was the roasted eggplant. Usually this dish is so heavy with fried eggplant or, worse, breaded and fried eggplant. Ioved the lightness that roasting imparted, and I think grilled would be even better, but I don't have a grill.
re: Westminstress
Yet another rave for the eggplant parm! I made the quick tomato sauce following the recipe exactly but had to cheat a little on this one.
I decided to make this spur of the moment after dinner. I had the tomato sauce, pecorino and eggplant, but no ricotta. Since I was home alone with my 3 little kiddies (already bathed and in jammies) so going to the store is out of the question. So substitution was a necessity. I subbed full fat cottage cheese. I am slightly embarrassed to say I don't think I've ever had fresh ricotta so not sure how far off this sub is. Happy to say the eggplant was great!
I must say, I was not too excited by the idea of My Calabria. Library didn't have it and I didn't buy the book because it just didn't grab me. But if the Sugo di pomodoro and this recipe are any indication, I just might have to buy this book.
re: greeneggsnham
I think that sounds like a great sub, as I almost always have cottage cheese, but ricotta, not so much (the one I buy spoils so quickly!).
Did it curdle at all, or just melt like the ricotta would? I can see how this would be lighter on the waistline, as well.
Very impressed you had the energy to do this in the evening, after the three kiddies were bathed and in jammies...tires me out just thinking about it!
re: rabaja
It mainly melted although, if looking for them, you could see a few individual "curds." It mainly integrated into the dish and just added a little creaminess without standing out as an individual element on its own.
Yes, the fact that I could do it after bath is a testament to how easy the dish is once you have the sauce made!
re: MelMM
Parmigiana di Melanzane (Eggplant Parmigiana with Fresh Ricotta), p. 252
Except I made it with zucchini, because I had that from the farmers' market. I made a half recipe, roasting the zucchini. It ended up being a small dish, though I did make four layers of zucchini - roasted it until browned and tender, it loses a lot of volume! I prepared the various components - sauce (for which I used Pomi tomatoes), zucchini, ricotta (which I made) - the day before, so all I had to do yesterday was grate the pecorino and assemble the dish before putting it in the oven.
I thought the dish was good, but I wasn't blown away by it. I offer this with a grain of salt (and am taking it that way for myself!) because, obviously I didn't quite do it as intended. I definitely will try it with eggplant (which I love) sometime.

Sun dried zucchini - Calabrian Pantry
As I mentioned earlier, I am having trouble being motivated by this book. Having said this, I really like the pantry section. I went to the Farmer's Market yesterday and I am going to attempt the sun dried zucchini this week. If all goes well, I will use it as a topping on crostini and report back on both this weekend. Wish me luck!
Blue Room, I am so glad to see you made the peaches with pastry cream. They looked so pretty I tabbed them myself. I don't think I'll get around to making them, but they are quite beautiful and I really wanted to see how they came out. Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through your post.
re: dkennedy
I'm really curious about this recipe. Can't wait to hear how it comes out.
re: dkennedy
You know, when I saw that pantry chapter in the book I thought to myself, "well if you don't like the Italian food you'd still be able to use this section".
