Taking Care of Their Own? Not All New Party Committee Chiefs Were Big Givers
November 18, 2014 | With Monday's announcement that Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) will lead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, all four House and Senate party committee chairmanships are now filled heading into the 2016 election cycle. While a mix of skills lead to success in these slots, contributions from leadership PACs are often thought to enhance candidates' chances…
In Mississippi Primary, Money Raining In Before the Storm
June 16, 2014 | Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-Miss.) chances of fending off tea party-backed challenger Chris McDaniel remain uncertain a week before the runoff election next Tuesday — but if he loses, it won't be for lack of trying by establishment Republicans. Cochran has benefited from the strong support of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose fundraiser last week on…
Shadow Money Magic: Five Easy Steps That Let You Play Big in Politics, Hide Your Donors and Game the IRS – Step 5
April 19, 2013 | In the final installment of our report, we talk about what happens when a group gets caught being too politically active, and prospects for change.
Capital Eye Opener Dec. 18: Sen. Inouye Passes Away, Club for Growth Against Sandy Relief, and More
December 18, 2012 | Sen. Daniel Inouye broke many barriers, but he never had to set any fundraising records: He was a lock for re-election every time. Also, the Club for Growth declares the Superstorm Sandy relief bill a waste of money.
Capital Eye Opener, Dec. 3: Watts' RNC Buzz, DaVita's D.C. Footprint, and More
December 3, 2012 | J.C. Watts, who's being mentioned as a possible RNC chair, has some strong ties to shadow money. A dialysis company that's accused of defrauding Medicare and Medicaid has invested heavily in Washington. And Bloomberg's pro-gun control super PAC likely had an impact.
Lawyers Win Big While Wall Street Splits the Difference
November 15, 2012 | Lawyers and lobbyists invested their contributions in winners to a far greater degree than did Wall Street, health professionals, and the real estate industry.
Super PACs Utilize Secretive Nonprofits to Hide Funding in Pennsylvania, Utah
August 13, 2012 | Two super PACs focused on a handful of races and advised by the same lawyer-lobbyist have kept most of their donors' names secret by drawing all or nearly all of their funds from tax-exempt groups that don't have to disclose the source of their money.
Obama Health Law Stands: The Money Roundup
June 28, 2012 | The health care law stands, and so does the health sector's history of heavy giving to lawmakers, especially Republicans.
Hatch v. FreedomWorks, JPMorgan Bankers Continue Giving Ways and More in Capital Eye Opener: June 26
June 26, 2012 | Despite outside spending, Orrin Hatch is a lock to prevail in his primary, while JPMorgan Chase employees show some love for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's leadership PAC. And a breakdown of the Obama campaign's spending.
Disclosure day, GOP vs. IRS and more in Capital Eye Opener: June 21
June 21, 2012 | Super PAC and presidential campaign finance reports, conservatives fighting IRS inquiries to 501(c)(4) groups and the latest on the FCC's new rule requiring online access to broadcasters' political files.
Many Lawmakers Personally Invested in JPMorgan Chase
May 17, 2012 | Republicans and Democrats rushed this week to argue that stronger government regulation would or wouldn't have forestalled JPMorgan Chase's multibillion dollar losses. But they didn't mention whether they owned shares in the bank themselves. At least 38 of them do.
The FreedomWorks Network: Many Connections, Little Disclosure
March 16, 2012 | If six-term Senate veteran Orrin Hatch had gone down to defeat in yesterday's Utah GOP caucuses, Dick Armey might have claimed some credit.
Boulder Voters Weigh Corporate Influence, Cain Supporters Keep the Faith And More in Capital Eye Opener: November 2
November 2, 2011 | On Tuesday, voters in Boulder, Colorado passed a referendum protesting the notion that corporations share equal First Amendment free speech rights as people, and can therefore spend unlimited sums on political advertising.
Elite Donors Do Double Duty: Presidential Super PACs Attract Wealthy Donors Who Have Maxed Out to Candidates
October 4, 2011 | A new analysis by Democracy 21, the Campaign Legal Center and the Center for Responsive Politics shows that 55 of the 75 individuals that donated to Restore Our Future also contributed to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign committee. These double-dipping donors represent almost three-quarters of all of Restore Our Future's individual donors and account for more than half of the money it's raised.
OpenSecrets Mailbag: Boycotting Campaign Cash, Seeking Earmark Info and More
September 23, 2011 | Welcome to the latest installment of OpenSecrets.org Mailbag, where we answer your burning questions about the role of money in politics, political influence and the work we do here at OpenSecrets.org.
EXCLUSIVE: Confidential JPMorgan Chase Memo Predicts Congressional 'Gridlock'
November 9, 2010 | JPMorgan Chase, the $2 trillion bank and financial services firm, predicts that the newly Republican-controlled U.S. House will clash with the still-Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate to the point where progress on large legislation is completely halted, according to a confidential memorandum dated Nov. 3 and obtained by OpenSecrets Blog.
Senators Who Pocket Money From Foreign-Connected PACs Fight Against International Influence in Elections
October 28, 2010 | Last week Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) sent a letter, co-signed by 14 other Democratic senators, to the Federal Election Commission, requesting that they "repair and strengthen protections against foreign influence of American elections." But how deep does their desire to strengthen protections against foreign influence go?
Interior Decorator Charged With Defrauding Government Donated Big to National Republican Senatorial Committee
September 3, 2010 | A Washington, D.C.-based interior decorator faces a felony fraud charge brought by the Department of Justice. But Darlene Mathis-Gardner, president and founder of Systems Design Inc., is not just any interior decorator.
Politically Well-Connected Goldman Sachs Sees Slump in PAC Giving, Retains Hefty Balance For Future Contributions
July 21, 2010 | In June, the sole beneficiary of Goldman Sachs was House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), to whom the PAC cut a $5,000 check on June 8, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of campaign finance documents filed Tuesday.
Campaign Finance Battle, Not Roe v. Wade, Dominated Elena Kagan's Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings
July 8, 2010 | During Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings last week, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the high court's major campaign finance ruling from January that overturned a ban on independent expenditures in federal elections funded by corporations and unions, was mentioned by name a whopping 87 times, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of the hearings' transcripts.
Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan a Loyal Democratic Donor, Foe of 'Citizens United'
May 10, 2010 | The move to promote Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court comes at a time when the Obama administration is criticizing the court's January ruling in the high-profile campaign finance case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Kagan herself led the government's defense in that case.
Capital Eye Opener: Thursday, December 10
December 10, 2009 | OY VEY! ORRIN HATCH SINGS JEWS PRAISES, BUT JEWS DON'T ALWAYS DIG HIS POLITICS: Sen. Orrin Hatch so loves Jews that the very Mormon politico from decidedly un-Jewish Utah has written a song -- yes, a song -- to help celebrate Hanukkah.
In Debt or Full of Hope, Politicos Maintain Presidential Fund-raising Committees
October 1, 2009 | The fact that the next presidential election isn't until 2012 hasn't deterred lesser-known candidates from planning vigorously, hoping valiantly and mulling over how to increase their name recognition when they have little name recognition in the first place to attract cash. They join a host of others who still technically have an active presidential fundraising committee.
Lawmakers Get One-Two Punch of Money From Health Industry Special Interests
October 1, 2009 | A new collaborative investigation between the Sunlight Foundation and Center for Responsive Politics shows that since January 2007, more than 500 individual lobbyists donated roughly $2.8 million to 61 members of Congress who took money from at least 10 lobbyists and also received money from their clients' PACs or employees. Among the recipients were 11 senators who sit on the Senate Finance Committee.
Democrats Aligned with Abortion-Rights Opponents Receive Money From Them
July 22, 2009 | Although abortion-rights opponents have given Republicans 95 percent of their $6.9 million in campaign contributions since 1989, several Democrats are among those pushing for an abortion funding ban in the health care bill. Many of the Democrats involved have collected money from pro-life groups but not pro-choice organizations, the CRP has found.
Time Line of Big Pharma's Legislative Influence
June 25, 2009 | Over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has used its clout to position itself for legislative wins that have brought in billions of dollars. Below is a time line with 10 examples of the industry's influence at work.
Some Lawmakers' 1st Quarter Haul Focused on PACs, Out-of-State Donors
June 10, 2009 | Lawmakers trying to build up their war chests tap a variety of financial resources and walk the fine line of balancing their constituents' needs and their need for money to run a re-election campaign. Find out here who the Members of Congress that relied most on out-of-state donors and PAC giving during the first quarter of 2009 are.
Obama, Ney and DeLay Also Among Stanford's Investments
February 18, 2009 | As the story behind the embattled investment company Stanford Financial Group develops, we thought we'd take an even closer look at the seeds the company may have tried to plant in Washington via campaign contributions. When looking at ALL lawmakers to collect money from the company's PAC and employees (not just members of the current Congress), some additional, important names appear at the top of the recipient list.
Investment Manager Stanford Was Big-Time Campaign Contributor
February 17, 2009 | Money manager Robert Allen Stanford now has two things in common with embattled investment manager Bernard Madoff: both have come under scrutiny for allegedly defrauding their investors, and both have given significant funds to politicians. Between its PAC and its employees, Stanford Financial Group has given $2.4 million to federal candidates, parties and committees since 2000.
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Races to Watch II: Candidates Supported by Their Party
September 25, 2008 | Private interests and members of the public aren't the only ones betting their money on the congressional candidates they hope will win (or retain) congressional seats. Lawmakers in both parties have a vested interest in seeing their own candidates succeed this November, with Democrats wanting to strengthen their majority and Republicans hoping to minimize their losses. Here we look at some of the candidates getting the largest cash infusions from their own parties, indicating a close race.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
CRP Oil & Gas Data Fuels Media Reports
May 22, 2008 | Pain at the pump has kept skyrocketing gas prices in the public spotlight, and there was no shortage of press coverage for yesterday's congressional testimony from oil and gas executives. Several newspapers used CRP data to put in context the industry's financial relationship with Congress--especially with members who serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which held the hearing.
Strategic Assets
April 3, 2008 | From aircraft and weapons manufacturers to producers of medical supplies and soft drinks, the investment portfolios of more than a quarter of Congress—and of countless constituents—include holdings in companies paid billions of dollars each month to support America's military in Iraq and elsewhere.
Washington Lets In More Sunshine, But Halls of Power Are Still Too Dark
March 20, 2008 | Since Sunshine Week 2007, a few rays of sunlight have lit up Congress and the Bush administration in the form of ethics legislation and other bills mandating fuller disclosure. As these changes are implemented, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics is examining their effects on the public's ability to know what's going on in campaign finance, lobbying and other areas related to money and politics.

Schocolat's delicious assortment features Belgian-style shell-molded chocolate as well as hand-dipped centers. All photography by Corey Lugg | THE NIBBLE.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Chocolate
America's Boutique Chocolatiers:
If you want proof that I'm no different than other women, like any member of my gender I long to hear those three little words whispered into my ear. Of course, in the case of Schocolat, those three little words are "Brandied Pear Caramel." A milk chocolate shell is wrapped around a buttery caramel, in the midst of which you'll find a morsel of dried pear macerated in brandy.
Is this my favorite piece from Schocolat? Well, it's awfully good, but I wouldn't want to shortchange the Harlequin (orange milk chocolate and lemon-infused white chocolate ganache, enrobed in dark chocolate, with a clever "playing card" garnish). Oh, their Mocha Java is a must-try, too (a smooth combination of milk chocolate, cream, and Mocha Java beans in a dark chocolate shell).
And then the Sunshine Coast Truffle, with three types of citrus…well, you get the idea.
There's a great deal to like here, and I had a lot of trouble selecting the chocolates that would go into my box. I especially liked the subtle but elegant packaging (photo below).
Schocolat has also been named a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Merrimack River salmon program's run is done
The federal government has pulled the plug on a 30-year effort to restore the Atlantic salmon to the Merrimack River, blaming both a poor success rate and budget problems.
Only 22 salmon were counted at a key spot in the Merrimack River this summer — the Essex Fish Dam in Lawrence, Mass. — compared to 400 two years earlier. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended a similar program on the Connecticut River last summer.
Conservationists and a state official said the decision won't end all programs to restore anadromous fish, the freshwater fish which spend part of their life in the ocean. Hatcheries and fish ladders will still be used for the American shad and river herrings, whose numbers continue to grow.
But the Atlantic salmon was an important symbol for fish-habitat conservation, said George Embley, president of the Concord-area Basil Woods chapter of Trout Unlimited.
"It's the fish that attracts public attention. It's at the top of the food chain. "It's sort of like the (bald) eagle in the fish world," Embley said.
The fish hatch in New England rivers and streams, grow and enter the Atlantic, where they mature and strengthen while circling to Portugal, Iceland or Greenland. They return to their native waters to spawn; adults spending two or more years at sea can exceed 15 pounds.
Last week, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department announced that the Merrimack River restoration had ceased, effective Sept. 5. The program will continue for some Maine rivers.
"While the science is driving our decision, our declining budgets hastened it. We need to prioritize," said Wendi Weber, the Service's Northeast regional director, in prepared remarks.
The effort to restore salmon involved removing some dams — the most recent a dam on the Souhegan River in Merrimack, Embley said. He blames the continued damming of the Merrimack River for the failure of restoration efforts.
Jason Smith, the New Hampshire chief of inland fisheries, said scientists can't give a single explanation.
He said recent stockings amounted to about 500,000 fry in the Pemigewasset and Souhegan rivers, small in comparison to the 2.5 million fry in the early 2000s.
"There was a lot of optimism then," he said. Fish ladders in Lawrence, Lowell and Manchester were part of that effort.
Public Service of New Hampshire spokesman Martin Murray said the utility installed the $4 million ladder in 1989 at the urging of federal and state officials. While salmon benefited, the ladder was installed primarily for American shad and river herrings, Murray said.
If numbers of those species continue to grow, PSNH could be required to install ladders at dams in Hooksett and Bow, he said.
Embley said the announcement upends a promise by a policy committee of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and federal officials to keep the Atlantic salmon program going until 2015.
"It's sad to see the end of it," he said. "Once the infrastructure goes, getting a program like that back is very unlikely."

The Supreme Court is responsible for promulgating the Code of Judicial Ethics pursuant to Article VI, section 18(m), of the California Constitution. The Supreme Court Advisory Committee on the Code of Judicial Ethics makes recommendations to the court regarding whether amendments to the Code are necessary or appropriate.
Invitation to Comment
The committee is currently seeking comment on proposals to amend several subdivisions of canon 3, canon 4, and canon 5. Please note that comments received may become part of the public record. Please send your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for comments is January 12, 2015.
Recent Committee Activity
California Code of Judicial Ethics: Revisions effective January 1, 2013 (showing markups)
About the Committee
The Supreme Court established the Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions (CJEO) to help inform the judiciary and the public concerning judicial ethics topics. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.80.) CJEO publishes formal advisory opinions, issues confidential written opinions, and provides oral advice on proper judicial conduct pursuant to the California Code of Judicial Ethics and other authorities. In providing its advisory opinions, the committee acts independently of the Supreme Court, the Commission on Judicial Performance, the Judicial Council, the Administrative Office of the Courts, and all other entities. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.80(b).)
Committee Members
CJEO members are appointed by the Supreme Court as part of its constitutional responsibility to guide the conduct of judges and judicial candidates (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 18, subd. (m)). The court appoints members to CJEO who have a strong background in judicial ethics and diverse courtroom experience. CJEO's current members are judicial officers who have served in courts of various sizes throughout the state.
Recent Committee Activity
CJEO Provides Guidance on Disqualification of Judges Who Previously "Served as a Lawyer in the Proceeding" (January 29, 2015)
The committee recently issued CJEO Formal Opinion 2015-007, which examines the language and legislative history of the disqualification statutes and concludes that the term "served as a lawyer in the proceedings" is intended to include any active participation as an attorney for a party that could create a reasonable doubt as to impartiality. The opinion also examines case law from California and other jurisdictions and concludes that active participation does not include a brief appearance on a scheduling or uncontested matter where special knowledge about the case is not gained and no opinion or bias about the matter could be formed. CJEO Formal Opinion 2015-007 advises that a judge who previously appeared in a case as a deputy district attorney on a nonsubstantive matter, without active participation in the prosecution, is not disqualified to hear the case because such an appearance would not raise a reasonable doubt as to impartiality. The opinion concludes that disqualification where there is no perception of impartiality impedes the administration of justice and defeats the purposes of the disqualification statutes.

The Supreme Court Multijurisdictional Practice Implementation Committee was appointed to determine the specific rules and procedures necessary to implement recommendations for modifying the restrictions on the practice of law by attorneys who are not members of the State Bar of California. The committee submitted its report and recommendations to the Supreme Court, which has adopted the committee's proposed rules governing practice by non-California attorneys serving as in-house counsel, legal services attorneys, litigation attorneys in California in anticipation of litigation or in connection with litigation elsewhere, and non-litigation attorneys temporarily in California. The new rules took effect on November 15, 2004.
Committee reports
After announcing in late 2007 that it would appoint a Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions, the Supreme Court appointed an Implementation Committee to make recommendations to the court on proposed procedures and rules for the new ethics committee. The Implementation Committee included the seven members of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on the Code of Judicial Ethics, two members nominated by the Commission on Judicial Performance, and two members nominated by the California Judges Association. The chair of the committee was Justice Richard D. Fybel of the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division Three. The California Supreme Court then adopted Rule 9.80, effective July 1, 2009, governing the practices and procedures to be followed by its new Supreme Court Committee on Judicial Ethics Opinions.

County pitches meals tax to legislators
Henrico County officials made their pitch for a 4-percent meals tax to the county's General Assembly delegation last week, telling the group that the proposed tax was their last resort to create revenue and close an $18-million shortfall in next year's budget before raising real estate taxes, cutting services or laying off employees.
Henrico lacks the authority to implement such a tax on its own, so officials want the General Assembly to grant it that authority, with the provision that the county's Board of Supervisors must unanimously support it.
A total of 204 other Virginia localities already have meals taxes, including 45 other counties – four of which were specifically granted the right to implement the tax by the General Assembly.
"We have evaluated all the alternatives, and this has the very least consequence," County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the nine delegates and senators who attended. "People will object – some people – but they will not object to police officers, to teachers [and other county services]."
Hazelett and Finance Director Brandon Hinton presented an impassioned argument to the Assembly delegation, recounting how in just their past three fiscal years, they have trimmed nearly $97 million from their total budget and eliminated or frozen 721 vacant government and school positions in an attempt to compensate for $84 million in lost revenue from declining real estate taxes and state funding.
The county also has refunded $317 million in debt through bond refinancing since 2009 and has weathered the storm without cutting services, laying off any employees or raising taxes, Hazelett said.
But a significant jump in the amount localities must pay into the Virginia Retirement System on behalf of employees looms large on the horizon, as do road maintenance and construction needs in Henrico that total $418 million but have no current funding source.
County officials have pointed to the fact that Henrico is the only state locality that maintains its own secondary road system but lacks the authority to collect a meals tax. (Arlington, the only other county that maintains its own roads, was granted the right to implement such a tax in 1990.) Locally, Richmond imposes a 6 percent meals tax, Ashland a 5 percent tax and Louisa County a 4 percent tax.
Henrico officials estimate that about 40 percent of all prepared meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents, which would lessen the impact of such a tax on county residents. And unlike a real estate tax increase, residents would be free to avoid a meals tax by not dining out or by limiting their dining excursions, Board chairman Dick Glover said.
"A meals tax is not something we'd impose on them that they can't dodge if they want to," Glover said.
A 4-percent meals tax would generate between $18 million and $20 million annually, Hazelett estimated. He and board members told the Assembly delegation that they likely would not designate that money for any one particular use but rather apply it as needed.
Delegate Jimmie Massie wondered aloud whether it would be difficult to convince other members of the General Assembly to support a tax increase for just one locality.
Deputy County Manager John Vithoulkas, who will assume Hazelett's position in mid-January, suggested that the delegation could take another route by supporting the passage of language that would authorize all counties that maintain their own road systems to have the same taxing authorities as cities. (Cities inherently have the right to implement meals, cigarette and admissions taxes.)
Henrico could enact a meals tax if a majority of voters supported the idea in a referendum, but they seem leery of trying that route again after voters defeated it in 2005 by 153 votes.
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson told the delegation that without the Assembly's approval of the issue, Henrico's would not survive unscathed.
"If you can't support a meals tax, then our issues are not going to go away," he said. "This is a last resort. A tax is going to come up or we will have to cut services or lay people off. We don't do that in Henrico, and we don't want to do this, but this is where we are. We need your help."

Today's blog will be short and sweet. Do you want cooler temperatures and more rain? It may be coming.
The models at the National Center for Environmental Prediction forecast an El Niño will arrive next month. When one looks at the different agencies around the world, the ones with the models that have been most accurate show an El Niño starting in August.
When the Tropical Pacific heats up and becomes an El Niño, it changes weather around the world. Source: NASA
What does this mean?
Globally, it means that the Tropical Pacific will have a huge area warm up. When the waters are roughly one degree warmer (actually 0.5˚ C for our Canadian readers), they heat the tropical air mass overhead. This changes air pressure and tropical winds. The result changes temperatures and precipitation around the globe.
If an El Niño starts in mid-summer, it typically brings more rain and cooler temperatures to large portions of the nation. Source: US Climate Prediction Center
Here in the US, it typically means normal temperatures east of the Rockies and rain in the central part of the country. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring much rain to the Southeast in the summer, but it usually means a wet winter.
El Niños also have the pleasant benefit of reducing the number of Atlantic hurricanes. They create high-level winds that usually sheer off the tops of developing tropical storms. They also tend to steer storms away from the Western Gulf, which is good news for Texas beaches.
Remember, each El Niño has its own weird personality. The cooling of the El Niño will be battling the influence of the hot Atlantic waters off the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Overall, it looks like August may see better weather. That's short and sweet.

Wedding Breakfast at Zen Peninsula in Millbrae
The weekend's wedding celebration wrapped up with a dim sum breakfast at Zen Peninsula in Millbrae. Starting at 9:30am on Sunday, the group filled 10 round tables lined up along the far wall or about one-third of the restaurant. At that hour the rest of the place was nearly desserted and we had the staff's full attention for the first hour. By our designated ending time of 11am, there was a line waiting for tables.
I thought that dim sum in Millbrae was a brilliant pick for the farewell event. It was easy for out-of-town guests to check-in at SFO beforehand, join us at the restaurant, and then catch their flights afterwards. We had plenty of space to circulate and table-hop, and the kids could run around.
The hosts had ordered an initial selection of standards for each table, then the guests were free to select from the carts and the checklist for more. Service started before I arrived and I caught the end of my table's first order. I chose more items that I wanted to try, and then ordered a third round when new arrivals joined us. Filling the table and ordering in three waves, I had a chance to try more items than I've ever ordered in one meal. And still there was so much more on the extensive menu that I wanted to taste.
The staff did a great job, serving and removing plates, and keeping the tea pot full. The cart ladies were smiling and attentive too. Our group overstayed the ending time, but the staff took it in stride, clearing off and reseating the tables as vacated. Until they actually needed the last two occupied tables for the growing crowd in line, there was no pressure to leave, which we finally did around 11:30am.
Overall, the quality of the food was quite high. Nothing was bad or even below average, and several items were so good and unique, I'd recommend making a special trip here to try them. Now, to answer the inevitable question of how Zen Pen compares with gold standard Koi Palace. Having been to Koi recently for dim sum, I'd have to say that Koi Palace is still king with more consistency and high quality across the range. However, if one orders well at Zen Pen and picks the best dishes, you can be equally satisfied here, plus enjoy greater comfort with far less hassle. Below I've listed everything our table ordered starting with the top picks.
Foie gras and shark fin pork siu-mai, $4.50 – As one tablemate described, "over-the-top"! Much better than my first trial a few years ago. Buttery soft and fatty disk of foie for an unctuous texture and mouthfilling flavor, plus chewy sharks fin adding texture to the meaty dumplings.
Conpoy (dried scallop) and pea sprouts rice crepes, $5.50 – Umami to the max, the briny sweet flavor of conpoy blended with the delicate crunch of the greens wrapped in a chewy rice crepe and doused with a delectable sweetened soy based saucing.
Sweet taro buns, $3.20 – These are the same soft-as-baby-butts sweet dough used for baked egg custard buns, but somehow even lighter and more tender here. Filled with sweetened taro puree, topped with bubbly sugar, and then served hot, I thought these were absolutely heavenly.
Egg custard tarts – My nomination for tops in the Bay Area. Scorched surface in the Macau style but going Portugal one better with the multi-layered flaky crust. These are deeper which makes for a lovely palate-coating mouthful of extra creamy, full-flavored custard lusciousness backed up by the crackly crust.
Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves, $3.80 – Perfectly toothsome pearly grains of sticky rice, succulent chicken, and a bonus salted egg yolk.
Zen's roast pork with peanut sauce, $5.50. Made with the pig jowl, the sweetest piece of the pig, this is honey-glazed, roasted, sliced thinly, and accompanied by powdered peanuts. Better than Koi Palace, but can't beat S & T Seafood's version.
Fried shrimp taro dumplings, $3.20 – Very frilly and tasty, but too oil-logged on the bottom.
Soft wonton in chili sauce, $4.50 – Wrapped sui gow style, very tasty saucing and thin fluttery wrappers, but the meat filling was too hard and thick.
Suckling pig rice powl (sic), $7.00 – Tasty with dark brown crackly skin, but the meat was not juicy and seemed reheated. About four strips arranged on a bowl of rice, nice to be able to order a smaller serving and not have to invest $17 for a taste of suckling pig.
Shrimp dumplings (har gaw), $3.80 – Whole shrimp inside were overcooked. Nice thin wrappers, not overseasoned.
Siu mai, $3.80 – Too much shrimp in the pork filling for my taste, but that's just my personal preference.
Baked roast pork puffs, $3.20 – Delicate pastry but too damp on the bottom, good meaty flavor.
Fried milk, $5.50 – The milk custard center was stringy and grainy. Nice light batter though.
Sesame balls, $2.60 – Crust is way too thick.
Special crispy squab, $12.00 – Good flavor, but a little dry. Can't compare to S & T Seafood in SF for this one.
Shrimp rice crepes, $3.80 – Again, the shrimp were somewhat cottony and overcooked. Somewhat meager filling compared to the competition, but not out of line once I saw the lower price for this dish. Nice seasoned soy sauce.
XO Sauce rice crepes, $5.50 – No searing on the rice noodle rolls, not thermally hot when I tried these, might fare better when warm.
Green tea sesame mochi, $3.20. Served hot with flowing black sesame centers, but the green tea mochi wrap was too thick and dense.
Missed Trying These:
Steamed barbeque pork buns, $2.60
Baked roast pork buns, $2.60
Chinese donut rice crepes, $3.80
Soy sauce noodles, $5.50
Poached Chinese broccoli, $5.50
Chiu chow steam dumplings, $3.20
Thanks for a terrific Sunday brunch and congratulations to the newlyweds!

re: Melanie Wong
That would be so cruel if I went to Zen one weekend and those tarts weren't available!! That photo was so enticing, and I have never had the Macau-style all caramelized on top like that. I didn't even know they existed until now, so thanks for making me crave something that I was oblivious to before. Now I can't rest until I have one.
You included prices for every item except the tarts; do you know Zen's pricing for those? Also, do you know if I can get good Macau-style tarts somewhere closer to the South Bay? Thanks for the detailed report and breakdown!
re: Carb Lover
Maybe we can lobby KFC to introduce them the way they did in China. http://is.gd/5i0H
re: Carb Lover
Supposedly they stop making Macanese style tarts at noon on Sundays. And because they get snatched up so quickly once they come out of the kitchen, you better order them off the checklist.
re: Carb Lover
I shouldn't post after midnight . . . and here I am doing it again! The tarts are listed as $2.60 on the checklist, and I assume that's an order of 3.
Sheng Kee bakeries make Macanese style tarts, but they can't compare to these. You might consider checking out the Portuguese bakeries in San Jose. Some are in Alum Rock, just across the freeway from Vung Tau. rworange, or maybe as one of her aliases, brought some natas to SF for a chowdown from SJ, check out her old posts. The Portuguese tarts I've had here (from the bakery in Rohnert Park) and in Porto don't have the multi-layered crust of ZP's, but the custard filling is really good and scorched like these.
This was an unusual opportunity to try so many things at one sitting. Our table had 3 orders of the baked pork buns and 2 orders of the steamed ones, and they were wolfed down. I thought there'd be one left to take home for later. I'm sorry I missed out on a lot of things, couldn't eat that much or fast enough!
re: Melanie Wong
Thanks, Melanie. I'm aware of those Portuguese stores in SJ and will look into it. I love the idea of the multi-layered, flaky crust w/ the scorched custard. Your post has also given me an intense craving for dim sum!
re: Mick Ruthven
Sorry, yes, I meant Koi Palace in Daly City. I forget that there are other locations now. I'll have to post about it as well.
As far as to-go dim sum at Zen Pen, I would assume that anything can be packed to go. The catch is whether there would be any available when you walk-in. Many items are fired to order so you'd have a wait. Best to call ahead.
re: Mick Ruthven
Just came back from their dim sum service. Based on Melanie's recommendations, I tried most of the items she listed.
Foie gras and shark fin pork siu-mai - I personally loved this dish and by far was one of my favorites. I could eat 3 orders of this myself! Although the feeling wasn't mutual with my friends, I believe you need to like foie in order to really appreciate this dish.
Conpoy (dried scallop) and pea sprouts rice crepes - This was nice. The pea sprouts were very nice, and felt like a good lighter dish compared to the other items we ordered. The only complaint was that I didn't get enough of the scallop flavor.
Sweet taro buns – This was definitely a highlight. The bun surrounding the taro puree was soft, and the top offered a crisp contrast in texture. It was served hot, so everything came together perfectly. Thanks for the recommendation on this one!
Egg custard tarts – Now that Golden Gate Bakery is no longer the best, I must second Melanie's statements about this Egg custard tart. Flaky and tasty crust, delicious custard. Our table of 4 went through 3 orders and only stopped because we had already eaten too much ><.
The Zen's roast pork with peanut sauce - Definitely one of the overall favorites with everyone at the table. Just delicious in taste and texture.
Steamed Pork Bun - Wasn't really anything special to me. Average.
Sharkfin and pork wonton in broth - This was average. The wonton was a good size, sort of skimpy with the sharkfin, and the broth could have been richer. However, for the cost and overall taste, not a bad way to fill you up.
Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves - A tad on the small size, but the flavor was very good. I can't give a better description than Melanie so I'll second her opinion of this dish. Doesn't this dish usually include Chinese sausage? If it does, I don't remember seeing or tasting it in here. Just my own preference to have it in there.
The service was attentive and polite. There were a couple of times where we had to call the waiter and inquire about a couple of dishes that were ordered and hadn't come. I would come to this place again, and must give it points for offering new approaches and dishes for dim sum.
re: Zinc Saucier
Great notes, ZS, thanks so much for the report! You ordered top shelf. I appreciate the word on the sharkfin dumpling in broth, which is one of my favorite items where it's done well. I was regretting not trying it.
If you don't mind, would you let us know the cost per person?
re: Melanie Wong
With tax and tip, it came out to over $35 a person. Needless to say, we ate a lot...
re: Zinc Saucier
Thanks for the data point. If you left happy, then it was worth cornering the market on custard tarts.
After my two year-old memorized the book, "Yum Yum Dim Sum", we decided that we needed to take her out to try it. She can't eat shell fish yet, so that limited the number of shrimp-based dishes we could try. We got there a few minutes before 11 AM on Monday morning, and were seated right away, near the kitchen and with a great view of the entrancing fishtanks.
One of the things I really appreciated was the pictorial menus, even though I've eaten dim sum many times, it was handy to have a visual reference for the paper ordering menu.
Inspired by this thread we ordered and tried the following:
Taro buns: These were excellent as the other posters have mentioned. Tender, succulent with a gorgeous sugar crunch on top.
Egg tart: Unfortunately, they didn't have the Maccanese style tarts on a weekday; I still look forward to trying them. These were quite good, silky custard and flaky pastry.
Siu mai: I really liked these. I thought the flavoring was good and, unlike Melanie, the shrimp to pork ratio worked for me. Nice and big too.
Baked roast pork buns: One of the first things out of the kitchen, these little golden treats were yeasty, tender, and had a good meat/dough ratio.
Baked roast pork pies: super flaky pastry and expertly spiced pork.
sauteed bok choy with garlic sauce: This was not on the menu, but we thought we needed some greens. This was excellent, a big plate of tender, tiny bok choy with a light sauce. We ended up eating the entire thing, much to my surprise.
Shrimp and chive dumplings: These were also really good. I thought the wrapper was a bit thick, so I discarded it and enjoyed the shrimp and greens filling solo.
Spring rolls: Fine, nothing special. We ordered it because they are mentioned in the book, but they have shrimp so my daughter only got a bit of the wrapper.
Sesame balls: I agree with the criticism, very very doughy. Also mentioned in my daughter's book, hence the order.
Salt and pepper eggplant and tofu: This is probably the best fried dish I have ever had. I unequivocally recommend people try it, little soft, unctuous cubes of eggplant in a perfectly crisp batter juxtaposed with tiny fried tofu blocks, similarly crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The whole combination topped with salt, pepper, chopped scallions and mild spicy red pepper. I loved it, so did my toddler and fried-food avoidant husband.
The total was about 50ish dollars.
Thanks to everyone for their posts, we had a great brunch as a result.
re: YSZ
We must be related, as I often have a pile of discarded, thickish wrappers rimming my plate. Thanks for a great post, and adding to the intell on Zen's dim sum. Gawd, i wish I could have one of those taro buns right now! The salt and pepper eggplant and tofu sounds wonderful, will have to get that next time.
And when one of those threads on "how to raise a chowpup" comes up again. you'll have to add "Yum Yum Dim Sum" to the recs. (ggg)
Husband and I went to Zen Peninsula on Sat. for dim sum around 11:45am. It's kinda sad to not have more people but we were busy w/ random errands and nearby friends weren't available. I was surprised that we were seated immediately given that the wait at Koi Palace or HK Flower Lounge would be longer at this time. We were seated at a two top tucked between the kitchen doors and bar so we figured it was as good a spot as any.
Before I get into the food, let me say that the service here was very efficient and responsive, some of the best service I've had at dim sum. The cart ladies were all smiles and had the patience to try to translate. Requested oolong tea was brought out quickly, and hot water was refilled regularly w/o asking. We ordered 4 items from the checklist, and everything was entered into the POS system and brought out to us at a good pace w/ no errors. I asked one hostess if the Macanese tarts were available and she said that I should just watch for them to come out of the kitchen. When they did, she came over to our table and gave me a heads up. This crew went above and beyond my expectations.
That said, unfortunately the food did not live up to the service for me. We sampled:
sweet taro buns
Macanese egg custard tarts
baked roast pork puffs
shrimp rice crepe
roast pork w/ peanut sauce
chive & shrimp dumpling
foie gras & shark fin siu mai
salt & pepper fried eggplant & tofu
It was quite a bit of food for us, so we took home some baked goods, the fried eggplant/tofu dish, and some roast pork. Total before tip was around $38. My favorite dishes were the baked goods. The taro buns were fluffy and tender, and the creamy taro filling was lightly sweet and velvety smooth. They came perfectly warm from the kitchen. They don't look particularly enticing at first glance, so I'm really glad that they were recommended here. The Macanese tarts weren't as beautifully bronzed on top as Melanie's, but they tasted good. Light and eggy custard filling gave way to buttery layers of puff pastry. Some of the best in their class.
The siu mai were a big disappointment for me as I had high hopes going in. The ingredients just didn't taste fresh and the gritty foie gras had a very strong livery flavor that overpowered the overcooked shrimp and pork. This suffered from texture problems as well as poor execution and ingredient quality IMHO. Husband liked it a little more than I did, but not by much.
The roast pork w/ peanut sauce was dry like it had been sitting under a heat lamp or in a warmer for too long. I thought it was too sweet on its own and the dryness and sweetness were improved w/ a dab of hot mustard.
The chive & shrimp dumplings had nice thin wrappers, but only one dumpling (mine!) had shrimp in it. Husband got stiffed on both of his dumplings. I liked mine pretty well, but I agree w/ others who say that the shrimp is generally overcooked here. The shrimp rice crepe was not bad, but the shrimp were slightly rubbery and stiff.
The fried eggplant and tofu was ok. I liked the crunchy savory bits of seasoning, and the fry job was good and greaseless. I just felt like it was missing an element (a light sauce of some sort?) to bring the dish together. The portion was generous though. The pork puffs were off tasting, and we didn't even finish them.
Overall, we were disappointed w/ the food and wouldn't come back for dim sum especially since we like Koi Palace and HKFL much better. We much preferred the dim sum on our recent visit to HK Saigon Seafood Harbor in Sunnyvale. Driving to get to the 101 we saw The Kitchen which I believe has positive mentions on this board. Perhaps we will try that next time...

re: Carb Lover
Yep, your descriptions of the disappointments sound like food that has been under a heat lamp too long or reheated too many times. That's a shame. The first time I had the foie gras siu mai here when ZP was new, the liver component was too strong and gritty, both of which I associate with overcooking and melting away too much of the fat. It's been fine since then, but unfortunately, not on your day.
re: Melanie Wong
Yeah, we obviously came on an off day for the siu mai and some other dishes. Overall, the food seemed to lack finesse but was killed w/ the sitting around too long issue. The place was fairly full but never felt that bustling, and diners didn't seem to be loading their tables compared to other dim sum houses. I wonder if they excel more at wedding banquets and private parties...Those taro buns were delicious though...

I really like the capabilities of the inTune. I set my 2008 Jeep Commander 5.7 Hemi to the 87 Octane tune. The ride is noticeably more choppy due to the firmer shifts but the increased power is even more noticeable! MPG went from 11.8 mpg to 12.8 mpg city. I was disappointed to see that I must detune the Jeep before I use it on my other car. i.e. "one at a time"

Hemophilia B is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a lack of blood clotting factor IX. Without enough factor IX, the blood cannot clot properly to control bleeding.
See also: Coagulation disorder
Christmas disease; Factor IX hemophilia
Hemophilia B is caused by an inherited X-linked recessive trait, with the defective gene located on the X chromosome.
Females have two copies of the X chromosome. If the factor IX gene on one chromosome is defective, the gene on the other chromosome can do the job of making enough factor IX.
Males have only one X chromosome. If the factor IX gene is missing on a boy's X chromosome, he will have Hemophilia B. Most people with hemophilia B are male.
If a woman has a defective factor IX gene, she is considered a carrier. This means the defective gene can be passed down to her children. Boys born to such women have a 50% chance of having hemophilia B. Their daughters have a 50% chance of being a carrier.
All female children of men with hemophilia carry the defective gene.
Risk factors for hemophilia B include:
The severity of symptoms can vary, and the severe forms become apparent early on.
Bleeding is the main symptom. It is often first seen when the an infant is circumcised. Additional bleeding problems usually show up when the infant starts crawling and walking.
Mild cases may go unnoticed until later in life. Symptoms may first occur after surgery or injury. ur in response to surgery. Internal bleeding may occur anywhere.
Symptoms can include:
If you are the first person in the family to have a suspected bleeding disorder, your doctor will order a series of tests called a coagulation study. Once the specific defect has been identified, other people in your family will need tests to diagnose the disorder.
Blood tests results may include:
Treatment includes replacing the defective clotting factor. You will receive factor IX concentrates. How much you get depends on:
To prevent a bleeding crisis, people with hemophilia and their families can be taught to administer factor IX concentrates at home at the first signs of bleeding. People with severe forms of the disease may need ongoing, preventive infusions.
If you have severe hemophilia, you may also need to take factor IX concentrate before surgery or certain types of dental work.
You should get the Hepatitis B vaccine. People with hemophilia are more likely to get hepatitis because they may receive blood products.
With treatment, most people with hemophilia are able to lead relatively normal lives. However, death from extreme blood loss can occur.
If you have hemophilia, you should have regular check ups with a hematologist.
Complications can include :
Repeated transfusions may slightly raise the risk for HIV and hepatitis. However, continued improvements in blood screening procedures makes blood products safer than ever.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling may be recommended. Testing can identify women and girls who carry the hemophilia gene.
Testing can be done during pregancy on a baby that is in the mother's womb.

Constructors' championship 2010: 6th
Williams has a tradition of winning in Formula One – but that was then. Now, the picture is more bleak – no drivers' titles since the ninth by Jacques Villeneuve in 1997; no race wins since Juan Pablo Montoya's triumph at the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix.
While those droughts are unlikely to change in 2011, Rubens Barrichello, the most experienced driver in F1 history, remains a huge asset and is one of the sport's smartest minds.
All of Barrichello's nous will be crucial in a season where the second car will be driven by Pastor Maldonado, the 2010 GP2 Series champion who makes his F1 debut at the relatively 'old' age of 26.
11 Rubens Barrichello (age 38, Brazilian, 307 Grand Prix starts)This year is the 19th in Formula One for one of the most-liked drivers in the paddock, and the veteran Brazilian has lost none of his speed, regularly hauling the Williams into the points last season.
He's the only man on the 2011 grid to have started all 15 previous races in Melbourne, and he's finished second here four times, as recently as 2009 in the dream maiden race for the fledgling Brawn GP outfit.
2010 season: 47 points, 10th – best result 4th in Valencia.
12 Pastor Maldonado (age 26, Venezuelan, making his Grand Prix debut in Melbourne)
With key sponsors RBS and Philips leaving Williams at the end of 2010, Barrichello's teammate was likely to be a driver with the right combination of talent and deep pockets – and Maldonado ticked both boxes.
The Venezuelan was the dominant force in the GP2 Series last year, taking six straight feature race wins, and backing from the Venezuelan government and the state-owned oil company PDVSA helped to secure his seat.
2010 season: Did not compete.

We submit this now so that other iPod enthusiasts could pickup where we left off.
There are (at least) two reasons this charger _does not_ work:
1. The transistor doesn't let enough current flow to fully charge the inductor. The other option is a FET, but a FET needs a minimum of 5 volts to switch fully on. This is discussed in the SMPS section.
2. The inductor is simply not big enough. The charger doesn't produce nearly enough current for the iPod. We didn't have an accurate way to measure the iPod charging current (save cutting apart the origional charging cable) until our parts arrived from Mouser. The inductors recommended are nowhere near large enough for this project. A suitable substitution might be the coil Nick de Smith uses on his MAX1771 SMPS. Its a 2 or 3 amp coil from digikey:
( http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/NixiePSU.html#bom )
This device can provide a small amount of power to a USB or firewire device, but not enough to charge an (3G) iPod. It WILL power, but not charge, a totally dead 3G iPod.
Of course, Somnione is right: next time just use a dedicated DC/DC converter.

Stay-at-home dad...needed something small welded about 7 yrs ago and took it to a local place, which IMO charged me way too much...again needed something welded 6 months later so I bought a welder, did some research and did it myself.Been screw'in around ever since make'in whatever and fix'in whatever for myself, friends and family...started night school in Sept to learn TIG and Stick and improve my MIG...making exhausts and backrests for motorcycles and 1 1/2' statues for friends and familyMultimatic 200 w/ Tig kit & Spoolgun

Accumulating as I go
Retired Army officer (Aviation Branch) and retired corporate bizjet pilot. Now that I am retired, I have had time to go to school to learn how to stick, MIG and TIG weld (well somewhat, anyway...my welds are pretty strong, but not as pretty as some...especially the TIG!!). Mostly I wanted to learn to do it so I can MAKE MY OWN stuff...the way I want it, when I want it and NOT pay someone a fortune to do it and then I don't get the satisfaction of having done it myself. Seems like there is ALWAYS something that needs fixed or made around here.....! I also learned how to do some machine work and now can I fix/make things with my saws, lathes and drill presses....REALLY WANT a milling machine, but don't have the bucks!! Seems like if a guy can weld and use a lathe and a milling machine, just about anything can be made!!Don J

Manufacturing Lead for a Hydraulics Company.
Worked in a cotton mill most all my life until the jobs went away.
Two years Air Force and 10 yrs Air National Guard.
Took a year of welding at a Tech Collage in the mid 80's, stick only. Learned to Tig at a buds prop shop for longer than I can remember. Almost 30 years later I finally tried Mig. Had to buy my own machine to do so and glad I did.
Just one little welding job a week can keep me happy. If I don't weld something every week, some sort of anxiety and depression starts to set in. Even tho most jobs I get are a pain in the azzzz.
There must be some kind of (Nobody else wants it list) so they bring it to me. But I like to get those who say they have been told it can't be welded.

There's a common misconception about first-generation college students. It's that they lack motivation, which means they struggle to succeed. But Paige Coleman, a first-generation student at Loyola Marymount University, says that misconception couldn't be further from the truth.
"I'm even more motivated because I've had to overcome a lot just to be at LMU," said Coleman, a sociology major and a transfer student from Cal State East Bay. "I didn't have the support from family and friends that other students might have had, but that pushed me to work harder to do what is best for me."
The First to Go program, an academic resource at LMU, is highlighting Coleman's story along with the stories of other first-generation students, faculty and staff during First-Generation Awareness Week on April 13 – 18. The week-long event will feature several activities including a student debate, a café showcasing visual and multimedia works and the screening of "Against the Grain," a film about a first-generation student who attends an elite university.
Coleman will be participating in Mosaic, an event where members of the LMU community can sit down with a first-generation student, faculty or staff and listen to their story and ask questions about their experience. Each participant will display a quote next to them that best describes their personal story. Coleman chose "Started from the bottom, now I'm here," based on lyrics from a Drake song.
"I feel like I really did start from the bottom," Coleman said. "I didn't have a lot of resources, but I'm here at LMU. Everyone has been so helpful, and I've learned that it's okay to ask for help."
La'Tonya Rease Miles, director of the Academic Resource Center and the First to Go program, said that about 22 percent of freshman and 30 percent of transfer students are first-generation college students. She hopes that the week will show the diversity of the first-generation student population at LMU and challenge any prevailing stereotypes.
"First-generation students are very prideful, highly motivated and add a lot to a campus community," Rease Miles said. "We really appreciate LMU's commitment to first-generation students. I've haven't seen this type of support at other institutions."

"My mother has been making this dish for as long as I can remember. Lots of rosemary and garlic - what more could you ask for?"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

6 tablespoons
unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup
finely chopped onion
6 cloves
garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup
chicken stock
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh rosemary
1 (16 ounce) package
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
I went out to the garden to get fresh rosemary. This is the first time I have planted it or used it in a recipe. I must admit, when chopping, it is very fragrant. I must admit, I really loved this dish. I did use Bow Tie pasta also. If your onions didn't turn out you may have under-cooked them. If your cheese clumped or got stringy, you didn't stir it in fast enough. Also, adding the cheese should be done after pulling off the heat.
We did not like this. I followed the directions exactly, but I think the amount of rosemary was too much!
147 Ratings
This was FANTASTIC. I followed the recipie but used soy butter instead of real butter(my daughter has food allergies), dried rosemary instead of fresh and bow tie pasta. When I was making the sauce I thought I may have used too much garlic and then I thought the sauce would be too runny but when I mixed it with the pasta, everything was perfect! NO LEFTOVERS!!!
I loved this! Easy to make a lot of it at once and very tasty. My boyfriend and his roommate really liked it! I used dried rosemary though and would use fresh next time. I also added some fresh oregano and parsley. If you wanted to make a lighter version, I felt the last two tablespoons of butter were unnecessary as the mixture of onions and stuff was enough to fully coat the spaghetti. I'll try wil olive oil next time too.
This recipe was a huge hit! My friends said it was restaurant quality! I did change a few things thought. I used garlic powder instead of cloves and it turned out fine. I also added chicken. I cut it up into bite sized pieces and cooked it most of the way through, then added it when I added the chicken broth (I used canned Swansons-I'm such a cheater!)
This is a very simple, delicious recipe. Tastes great with added sauteed mushrooms and topped with fresh diced tomatoes.
Definitely tasty and easy to make! I prepared as written with two additions: 1.)I added about 1.5 lbs chicken breast. I diced it and rubbed it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I added the chicken with the stock and rosemary. 2.) I added about a tablespoon of lemon juice as the sauce was reducing, which really rounded out the flavor! The dish was very rich and enjoyable, but I would agree that it doesn't translate well to leftovers, so make it when it can all be eaten in one sitting.
This was good, but not fantastically good. I added an extra clove of garlic, halved grape tomatoes, and a splash of white wine. Quick and easy, great rosemary taste. I'd make it again, and judging by my husband's FOUR servings, he'd like it again.

Don't you love it when a too-nice-for-her-own-good friend notices how busy you are and croons, "You know, you really should relax more"? Said friend is lucky you don't slam her head into the giant file cabinet you're trying to organize. The thing about relaxing is that it can be just as hard to manage as everything else on your massive to-do list. You don't have time to take a leisurely walk during your midafternoon slump or pop into a spa every other night of the week. That's why we've come up with 31 quick, easy tips on how to relax — no matter what time of day it is, no matter where you are. Because the last thing you need to stress out about is not relaxing.
7:00 a.m.
Wake up every morning to what sounds like an air raid? No wonder your nerves are shot. The Timex Retro Alarm Clock Radio T247LT ($20, Timex Audio) calmly rouses you with soft music that gradually gets louder. Warning: may lead to bizarre dreams (or nightmares) about Dave Matthews.
7:12 a.m.
Feel like a head case? Take the problem by the roots: In the shower, grab your hair close to your scalp — sounds painful, but just try it — and tug up to release tension. Then rub your fingers in small circles over your entire head to stimulate blood flow, which reduces pain and stress.
7:24 a.m.
Swap your A.M. caffeine jolt for a mug of ginseng tea. A chemical compound in ginseng not only kick-starts your metabolism the way coffee does but soothes anxiety too.
7:30 a.m.
Take the dog for her morning constitutional. Studies show that doing just 10 minutes of physical activity three times a day can improve mood, relieve depression, and increase feelings of well-being.
7:44 a.m.
Eat a breakfast that's low in fat (fat takes longer to digest and may aggravate an uneasy stomach), rich in complex carbs (to raise serotonin levels for a relaxed, calm feeling), and high in protein (which boosts brain chemicals that help you focus). Go for plain oatmeal with low-fat milk and strawberries; one slice of whole-wheat toast with low-fat peanut butter and banana slices; or a whole-grain waffle with 8 ounces of low-fat cottage cheese and sliced peaches.
7:59 a.m.
Crank up KT Tunstall's album on the way to work. Listening to music is proven to reduce stress responses such as high blood pressure and elevated heart rate.
8:42 a.m.
Sit up straight at your desk and drop your shoulders. Good posture helps you take in more oxygen and perform better during stressful activities like timed logic puzzles — aka deadlines.
9:21 a.m.
Order a Peace Lily from ProFlowers. A recent study shows that people working near plants reacted 12 percent faster and were less stressed, based on blood pressure readings taken before and after a typing assignment.
