Rhinelander Chamber Wins Awards for Hodag Marketing
Submitted: 04/17/2013
Story By Lyndsey Stemm
- He greets you when you drive into town, and watches over you at nearly every pub, store, even from police cars. Now Rhinelander will get even more recognition thanks to the mythical green monster we all know and love.
The Rhinelander Chamber of Commerce won two advertising awards for its use of the Hodag.
The "What is a Hodag" infographic won the awards from the American Advertising Federation.
The infographic explains the history and mythology of the iconic monster that helped put Rhinelander on the map.
Chamber Executive Director Lara Reed says having a mascot as unique as the Hodag to promote the city with is invaluable.
"It's fun. And I think that really encompasses what we're about. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and we have a lot of fun at what we do. And we hopefully put Rhinelander on the tip of somebody's tongue when they're talking about the Northwoods. 'Oh, do you know what a Hodag is? Yep, and it goes with Rhinelander, Wisconsin'," says Reed.
Locals can even benefit from a trip to the Chamber. The legend of the Hodag is so long, someone who's known him their whole life could learn something new. For example, he eats fish out of the lake but prefers a traditional fish fry with potato pancakes, and his horns can pick up every Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcast.

Local prosecutor runs for Langlade County District Attorney
Submitted: 07/28/2016
Play Video
- Since March, Langlade County hasn't had a district attorney.
Its former district attorney Ralph Uttke went to work in Marathon County. The governor could have appointed someone for the job, but chose not to. Since then, a special prosecutor has been filling in.
But all district attorney positions statewide are up for election on November 8th.
Now Portage County assistant district attorney, Elizabeth Constable, will run for the position.
"It was always my plan to be a prosecutor," Constable said "And that's what I've done for my entire career."
Constable has been an assistant district attorney in Portage County for the past two years and also an assistant DA in Wood County for five years before that.
"I'm at the point in my career that I feel qualified to step into a leadership position," Constable said.
So when former Langlade County District Attorney Ralph Uttke left the office this spring, Constable saw her opportunity. She has a home ouside Elcho, so she decided to run��"and she's running uncontested.
"It all just worked out perfectly," Constable said.
Newswatch 12 caught Constable on vacation. But if she wasn't, she probably would have been in the courtroom. In her seven years, she's prosecuted 25 jury trials. But she's passionate about the justice system because she's seen it work, and wants it to work.
"I've had cases where I've really seen a turnaround in the defendent...the objectives of the sentencing actually worked," Constable said.
Part of that passion comes not only from her law degree from University of Wisconsin Law School. Before that, Constable got her masters in religion and philosophy from Harvard University��"on a full scholarship.
"Kind of studying people, who we are, what we do , how we think, what motivates us," Constable said.
It's that kind of study that lends itself well to her work as a prosecutor, she said.
"I really do also want to see that the defendants for the most part I just want to see them get on the right path," Constable said.

Mepps fishing lures are local and top of the line
Submitted: 07/28/2016
Play Video
- When you can't catch fish, it's easy to blame the lure. If you need something different, people in Antigo make a lure that you might want to try. The Mepps assembly plant is located right off Highway 45.
Mepps fishing lures were originally made in Paris, France, starting in 1938. Back in the 1970's, a local Antigo sporting goods store owner, Todd Sheldon, decided to buy that facility and moved it to Nice, France. His son, Mike is now the president of the company.
"The guys that own the Mepps company in France were getting old enough to where they wanted to retire so we bought the Mepps company in France in 1972," said Sheldon.
One detail that makes the lure number one in the world is that they use actual animal tail fur.
"The tails are washed, dyed and tied back there," said plant worker Kim Wiegert. "And they're dehydrated. They will store a long time, so they can last 3 to 5 years."
There are many benefits to using real hair as opposed to artificial hair.
"The hair is hollow and goes through a lot of wear and tear," said Wiegert. "Other hairs would disintegrate, and fall apart. With these, it'll last longer, the fish can bite on them and it'll take a long time before they'll actually chew them apart."
Along with the hairs, there is a secret way to put the lures together that makes Mepps the best.
"We have a certain wind that we have and we can tell when we put them together, how it should be. All of our spinners are field tested before they actually go out," said Wiegert.
Even though the company distributes their product around the world, the Sheldon's still enjoy being based in Antigo.
"It's home. I grew up here and my parents grew up here and of course my kids did. And it's such a different pace of life here than the rest of the world," said Sheldon.
Everyone putting the little pieces together are women. Kim is just one who works in the plant that has been there for nearly 40 years. She also gives tours of the facility to the public.
"I like to react with the people when they come in, especially ones that have fishing stories to tell you. It's interesting here and you get to meet other people," said Wiegert.

Carlisle officer named rugby captain for England police
A Cumbria Police officer has been appointed vice-captain of the England Police Rugby Union Team.
Sergeant Lee Brumpton, who is based in Carlisle, was appointed vice-captain following his performance against the Australia Police Rugby Union Team on 10 October 2015.
Lee started at number 8 against the Aussies in the clash that took place at Imber Court sports ground in south west London.
Australia won 21-18... but Sergeant Brumpton made a strong enough impression to win the armband:
I am delighted to have been named vice-captain, playing rugby is a passion of mine and to be selected for your country is a great honour.
Further fixtures against Police Scotland, the England Deaf Rugby Union Team and Ireland Police have been lined up and I am looking forward to them.
I was called up for the Australia game after being selected from a pool of 100 players who were nominated by colleagues. The match against the Aussies was a tough encounter and we were unlucky to lose, hopefully we can find a few wins in the upcoming games."
The next game will take place on 8 November 2015 against the England Deaf Rugby Union Team in Nottingham.
Kelso's Scottish Rugby player banned from World Cup
Ross Ford from Kelso and his teammate Jonny Gray have been banned from playing rugby for three weeks after making a dangerous tackle during their encounter with Samoa last Saturday.
This means the hooker and lock will miss Scotland's quarter-final game against Australia.
Stuart Cameron has this report.
RWC: Ross Ford and Jonny Gray suspended
Scotland rugby players Jonny Gray and Ross Ford, who's from the Borders, have been banned from playing rugby by the RFU for three weeks after making dangerous tackles against Samoa last Saturday. This means they will miss the rest of the tournament, including a quarter-final game against Australia on Sunday.
Hooker Ford and lock Gray were punished for their two-man tip-tackle on Samoa flanker Jack Lam.
They have 48 hours to challenge the ruling or face missing out on the rest of Scotland's campaign.
A spokesman for the national team said they were "disappointed" by Judicial Officer Christopher Quinlan QC's decision, adding: "We will consider carefully the full written judgement before making a decision on any future action."
Both Ford and Gray denied committing an act of foul play.
High praise for Hogg from Hawick RFC President
Former Hawick Rugby Club player Stuart Hogg has been given high praise by the club's President.
Full-back Hogg, who's now considered one of Scotland's key players, spent many years playing for his home club.
He remains a huge supporter, along with his family, and when he's not playing for the Glasgow Warriors he tries to get along to watch the men in Green.
President of Hawick RFC, Ross Cameron, says the whole town is extremely proud of their "local hero."

in the Rail Runner corridor, the #502 train from Belen (8:50am) and the #505
train from Santa Fe (11:20am) will be cancelled, Sunday, September 26, between
8:50 am and 1:00 p.m. The two later trains will still run on their normal
Sunday Schedule
The Metropolitan Council awarded
Aldridge/Collisys, a joint venture, an $87.9-million systems contract to build
the traction-power substations and overhead contact system for the Central
Corridor LRT Project. Aldridge/Collisys
also will construct the communications system, train-to-wayside communications,
radio, public address system and train control system with control centers,
wayside signals and remotely controlled power-operated switches.
The public is invited to a
community meeting about the San Bruno, Calif., Grade Separation Project from
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Sept. 30 at Belle Air School in San Bruno. The meeting
will include a presentation on the project, which will elevate the Caltrain
tracks above San Bruno, San Mateo and Angus avenues. The project also includes
a new elevated train station between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues that will
replace the current station, three pedestrian underpasses and a new parking lot
with 191 spaces. In addition, Posy Park and the streets and sidewalks in the
neighborhood will be improved.

valuable public works project slip away over exaggerated fears of future costs
that may never materialize.
Continuing to emphasize the
priority of safety, Washington, D.C., Metro's Customer Service, Operations and
Safety Committee has recommended that the full Board of Directors establish a
Safety and Security Committee and that the Board also adopt a new mission

actions serve to demonstrate the transit agency's commitment to safety as its
top priority and address a recommendation by the National Transportation Safety
Board for increased safety oversight by the Metro Board, which is expected to
vote on the recommendations at its regular monthly meeting on Sept. 30.

Every year, hundreds of gay men and lesbians join ex-gay ministries in an attempt to convert to non-homosexual Christian lives.
In this fascinating study of the transnational ex-gay movement, Tanya Erzen focuses on the everyday lives of men and women at New Hope Ministry, a residential ex-gay program, over the course of several years. Straight to Jesus traces the stories of people who have renounced long-term relationships and moved from other countries out of a conviction that the conservative Christian beliefs of their upbringing and their own same-sex desires are irreconcilable. Rather than definitively changing from homosexual to heterosexual, the participants experience a conversion that is both sexual and religious as born-again evangelical Christians. At New Hope, they maintain a personal relationship with Jesus and build new forms of kinship and belonging. By becoming what they call "new creations," these men and women testify to religious transformation rather than changes in sexual desire or behavior. Straight to Jesus exposes how the Christian Right attempts to repudiate gay identity and political rights by using the ex-gay movement as evidence that "change is possible."
Instead, Erzen reveals, the realities of the lives she examines actually undermine this anti-gay strategy.

Sexual and Christian Conversions in the Ex-Gay Movement

Steps Out of Homosexuality
In 1973 Frank Worthen heard from God for the first time in years. Frank, then a forty-four-year-old gay man, had spent twenty-five years living in the San Francisco Bay Area as a businessman and participating peripherally in early gay liberation struggles. According to Frank's recollections, on May 24 he locked his office door and headed for the back entrance of his import store, planning to check out a new gay bathhouse in San Francisco. Unbeknownst to Frank, one of his employees, a young Christian named Matt, had been secretly praying for him for months. Frank recalled: "I was leaving my office and the Lord just spoke to me and said, 'I want you back.' I generally don't share that with a lot of people because they don't understand that God can talk to you." He laughed, "They think there's something wrong with you if God can talk to you. But he did. It scared the life out of me." Frank immediately contacted Matt, who met him at a chapel where he led Frank in the sinner's prayer, a prayer that many conservative evangelical Christians generally understand signifies the initiation of conversion or the promise that you will give your life to Jesus Christ. Frank prayed, "Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be."
Frank confessed the sins he had accumulated over many years, and as he did, he sensed a growing release from what he characterizes as twenty-five years of rebellion. He had been a devoted member of a Disciples of Christ Church in San Jose, California, as a child, where he had excelled at the organ. However, he was molested by a minister at the church and had avoided any religious affiliation since he had come out in the 1940s. In the intervening years, Frank had built a thriving import business and tentatively embraced a gay identity. He had recently been involved with a much younger man who was married but dependent on Frank for financial assistance. Right before his conversion experience, the relationship had turned sour and ended for good. May 1973 signified the closure of his old life and the beginning of his new one. Despite subsequent years of setbacks and doubts, he never returned to what he calls "the gay lifestyle."
With Matt's urging, Frank began attending his charismatic Agape church in Marin County several times a week. Matt revealed that the church had been praying for "Matt's gay boss" and his deliverance from homosexuality for over a year. As Frank rededicated himself to God, the church sent other men struggling with same-sex feelings to talk to him, and he suddenly found himself counseling other gay men looking for a "way out" of homosexuality. After a short time, the minister at the Agape church challenged him to "reach back to his own people." Six months later, Frank recorded his testimony about leaving behind homosexuality on a cassette tape and advertised it in the Berkeley Barb, a now-defunct underground newspaper. The ad read, "FIND Homosexuality & Christianity incompatible? Send $8.00 for a new Christ-centered tape: Steps Out of Homosexuality." Initially, sixty people sent for the tape, and the "Brother Frank Tape Ministry" was born. The deluge of letters and responses Frank received provided the impetus for him to close his business and eventually form one of the first ex-gay ministries in the United States, New Hope Ministry—at the time called Love in Action.
When Frank first decided he could no longer live as a gay man, he turned for support to the pastors at the Agape church. The Agape church competed for members with another church called Open Door, led by Pastor Kent Philpott and Associate Pastor Mike Riley. Frank recalls that "One night the Lord woke me up and said, 'I want you to talk to Kent at Open Door.' I thought, 'No way, my pastor would have a fit if I went and talked to him.' God didn't let up. Finally I told God I'd do it." Kent Philpott considered Frank the answer to his prayers because three gay people had come to his office that week seeking help. Kent urged Frank to join Open Door and help him counsel homosexuals. Frank resisted out of loyalty to Agape, but when Agape closed in 1977, he joined Open Door permanently. In 1979 Church of the Open Door ordained Frank as a pastor. Founded in 1972 by a pastor who had a vision that his mission was to start a church in Marin County, Open Door had opened new branches in Mexico City, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and London by 1976. Pastor Mike Riley, known as "Pastor Mike," a lanky man in his mid-fifties with a boyish grin, still leads Church of the Open Door in downtown San Rafael, a charismatic nondenominational church and the only one of the four Open Door churches with a congregation primarily composed of ex-gays. New Hope is a "para-church ministry," meaning that it exists outside an official religious denomination. Even though New Hope offers Bible studies, group prayer, and worship sessions, it is not a church itself and instead affiliates itself with Open Door. Open Door is perhaps the only church in the United States for men and women who are dealing with sexual addiction and homosexuality. While New Hope considers itself a ministry for men struggling with sexual issues, Open Door provides an institutional church structure where ex-gays can worship with other people as part of a wider religious community.
Open Door's roots lie in the era of beach baptisms and mass conversions known as the Jesus movement, a movement initiated in the early 1970s, when hippies and other members of the counterculture joined charismatic and spirit-filled churches en masse. Reacting to what many conservative Christians viewed as the excesses of feminism and the gay rights and countercultural movements of the 1960s and 1970s, evangelicals began actively seeking to convert members of the counterculture. Jorstad Erling writes that conservative pastors viewed young men and women in the countercultural movements of that period as potential converts who would expand their churches and contribute to their evangelizing mission. Rather than condemn hippies or drug users, evangelical pastors opened their churches to the younger generation and even recruited hippie liaisons to their ministerial staff.
One of the leaders of this religious revival, Chuck Smith, was a charismatic preacher in Southern California who became disillusioned with institutional Christianity. Abandoning his larger church, he started ministering to a small congregation called Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California. Despite initial disdain and even revulsion for the hippies and surfers he noticed hanging around Venice Beach, near Los Angeles, he gradually began proselytizing to them. At first, Smith and his wife allowed early Christian converts to live in their home. When the initial group doubled from twenty-five people to fifty in six months, they could no longer accommodate everyone, and Smith rented a house where the young people could make a transition from drugs to Jesus. As the movement expanded, the number of Jesus houses increased, and the conversions skyrocketed. Mass baptismal services in the ocean, exuberant prayer meetings, long-haired evangelists, and Christian rock musicians contributed to the growth of the Jesus movement in other cities. Calvary Chapel relocated to larger and larger spaces until Smith began training the zealous young converts to plant their own Calvary Chapels in their local communities.
Today, Calvary Chapel has a reported membership of approximately fifteen thousand, with "church plants" of six hundred Calvary Chapels in the United States and a hundred in other parts of the globe. The first Vineyard Fellowship started in 1974 as a result of the Jesus movement, and it now has hundreds of churches in the United States and abroad. These nondenominational Christian churches emerged at a period when attendance in mainline Protestant churches was declining and fewer people under thirty were attending church services. Liberal Protestant denominations lost much of their membership as church movements like Calvary and Vineyard tapped into the inchoate energy of the youth movement, reinventing their services and using contemporary music to appeal to a generation seeking spiritual guidance. The Jesus movement reflected a significant shift in American Protestantism toward non-denominationalism, part of a wider shift in religious organization in which liberal and conservative Protestants, even within the same denomination, split into their own churches. Many churches with similar social agendas around issues like abortion, the family, and homosexuality began connecting across denominations, leading to the rise of para-church organizations like that of the ex-gay movement. The churches like Open Door that emerged from the Jesus movement succeeded because they created associational networks and small groups geared toward all facets of a member's life. A member of a Calvary Chapel or Vineyard Fellowship church could and still can attend services every day of the week, multiple services on Sunday, Bible studies, and groups for men, women, singles, teens, addicts, or single parents. Most churches have ministries or outreach programs, which are both global and local. They might run a shelter for the homeless, a drug rehabilitation program, or a missionary program. Church members also gain the civic capital of learning communication and organizational skills through volunteering in one of the many church groups or ministries, which they can apply to their job or other aspects of their lives. Unlike many mainline churches, the laity or congregation of these churches drives the programs, and there are multiple venues for personal involvement beyond attending services.
New Hope and Open Door are part of the wider proliferation of independent churches in the United States, what some scholars have termed a postdenominational era or nondenominational movement in Christianity. In many parts of the country, the adjective "nondenominational" usually refers to a nonaffiliated community church of conservative evangelicals, depending on the background of the pastors and congregants. These churches may or may not be affiliated with an umbrella denomination such as the Southern Baptists, Presbyterians, or Assemblies of God. They call themselves nondenominational because they are not under the oversight of a denominational board and because the members of these churches often come from various Christian traditions and do not subscribe to a single creed. According to Don Miller, the United States is witnessing a second reformation in which new paradigm churches like Open Door are thriving. These new local congregations and churches began to set the agendas of larger denominations rather than be constrained by the institutional framework and theological dogma of their parent organization.
Miller writes that the characteristics of new paradigm churches like Open Door include the fact that most were started after the 1960s, seminary training of clergy is optional, worship is contemporary, and lay leadership is highly valued. Although Mike Riley is the pastor, Open Door has ordained other members of the church, like Frank Worthen, who don't have the educational or professional credentials to be considered a pastor or minister elsewhere. Members of the congregation are encouraged to participate in sermons and exercise their feelings at almost any time by giving testimony, shouting, participating in call and response, or raising their arms in the air. The ministry rejects the formalism and liturgy of traditional churches and urges people to act on their feelings. In churches like Open Door, personal experience validates religious belief and commitment, and experience and testimony supersede doctrine and scripture. Open Door and New Hope eschew many of the symbols of organized religion, and the emphasis in worship is on creating a church community that is loving and caring but also influenced by pop psychology, self-help principles, biblical counseling, and the importance of moral choices in one's everyday life.
Pastor Mike was caught up in the fervor of the Jesus youth movement, and Open Door was modeled on Vineyard and Calvary, even if it never achieved the same level of national prominence. "It was a time of revolution in our country—the late 1960s," he recalled with a bit of nostalgia. "It was another revolution. In those days it went over well to go preach on the streets." As a college student at Chico State University in California, Pastor Mike Riley wore blue work shirts with patches on the breast pocket and arm that read, "Jesus, the revolutionary." It was in college that he began a ministry to reach hippies; later he joined Church of the Open Door. He oversaw twelve Christian houses full of drug addicts by the early 1970s. For Pastor Mike and others in the Jesus movement, even the most marginalized elements of society were potential Christian converts. Whereas other mainstream denominations may have been squeamish about ministering to drug addicts, homeless people, and hippies, Church of the Open Door embraced them. The idea that anyone could be a Christian enabled Open Door to promote the possibility of converting homosexuals.
After Frank's arrival at Open Door, Kent Philpott and Pastor Mike, who was only an associate pastor at the time, decided that a ministry for homosexuals would correspond with Open Door's wider calling. Frank started meeting on a weekly basis for counseling and discussion at Open Door with six people, who contacted him because of the personal testimony he advertised in local newspapers. A woman in the group suggested the name Love in Action (LIA), and Philpott and Frank agreed. As we discussed the early history of New Hope and Open Door, Frank jokingly referred to LIA as "Lots of Action," a reference to the unintended and unsanctioned dating that went on at the weekly support group. Although he appeared reserved and soft-spoken, Frank frequently surprised me with one of these trademark sardonic comments. He was not afraid to occasionally poke fun at the ministry or the ex-gay movement.
In the late 1970s, Kent Philpott became the director of Love in Action, with Frank acting as assistant director. With Frank's input, Philpott authored two books, The Third Sex? in 1975 and The Gay Theology in 1979, that presented the personal testimonies of the men and women who attended the support groups at LIA. The Third Sex? contained dialogues between Philpott and ex-gay men and women: Jim, Susan, Bob, Polly, Ted, and Eve. The stories of how these six individuals became homosexuals provided a model for how New Hope and the ex-gay movement would structure their testimonies of conversion for decades. The books also generated publicity and enabled Philpott and Frank to continue counseling. Philpott called the first book The Third Sex? to argue against the idea of the legitimacy of homosexuality as an identity: "There is no third sex! For many reasons—some known, some unknown—men and women have exchanged the truth about God for a lie and have become homosexual. Homosexuality is a choice, a choice to be and do what was not intended.... The simple conclusion is that there is no such thing as a bisexual or homosexual according to God's established order. Both distortions of original sexuality exist for the same reason man hid from God in paradise—rebellion." Philpott also established the religious basis for the LIA program: homosexuals could change not through counseling alone but through a relationship with God. It was the failure to achieve this relationship that triggered sexual falls. Philpott wrote about how at one of the first LIA meetings, a brazen man who had lived as a homosexual for six years claimed he had been converted. This man denied ever having temptations and argued that he had erased all traces of his former life. An enthusiastic Christian organization had already sponsored him, and he was counseling at prisons and rehabilitation centers. Philpott writes that less than a month after the LIA meeting, this man had "fled with a young boy from a rehabilitation house and had returned to homosexuality. The problem? This man simply wasn't honest.... God wants us to be honest with him, others and ourselves. It saves us from drastic mistakes."

I would recommend all the three books by Passkey. I only used all three books and passed the EA exam on first try for all three. What I would recommend everyone to do especially those you dont have tax experience is to go to the IRS website and review the forms especially he major ones like 1040, 1120S, etc. Reading the publications as well is helpful. I did not have the time but they are helpfull.

The Quad FX was using 400 watts at idle! This alone is a enough to kill any but the best "550w" power supplies over time.Examining performance per watt, AMD's Quad FX with FX-74 processors is an utter failure compared to an of Intel's quad-core QX6700 systems.

Spicy garlic miso glazed chicken is an easy appetizer which is ready in no time. Delicious red miso combines with garlic and chillies to make a spicy glaze.
Today I am going to be talking about a dish that has been about seventeen years in the making. It is my spicy garlic miso glazed chicken. There is quite a story behind it but let's not forget what day it is first. A very Happy Diwali to everyone. My post is coming out a day after Diwali but here, we are still basking in the spirits. Lights and lamps are still lit and there is just a faint hint of fireworks in the air. I had such an amazing time with my friends and family. Sharing, giving, feasting and spending quality time together. Isn't that what family time is all about? At least it is in my book.
As much as fun Diwali was, Puchi and the others were quite mortified by the sounds of fire-crackers. I don't burst them personally, but everyone around me do. And, it is such an integral part of the whole Diwali experience that removing that doesn't feel good, especially for children. It left me with so much of conflicted feelings. I am sure any responsible pet parent would feel the same way.
Initially, I was inclined to share with you a very traditional confectionery to mark this auspicious occasion. But in all honesty, after the grand celebrations, I felt, we all need simpler food. Things we can make under the hour and in a pinch, keep it ready for later use. This is where, a dish like my spicy garlic miso glazed chicken hits the sweet spot. It is incredibly easy and fast. You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now.
The short video explains how you go about making this recipe. Once you have finished seeing it, read on further and then let's have a chat.
I just learnt how to make a delicious Spicy Garlic Miso Glazed Chicken. #Glutenfree #Recipe Click To Tweet
So how was the video? Did you find it useful? Let me know in the comments below how I can make them more worth your while. I am all ears. I make these videos so that you know always what to expect from my recipes.
Please like this video if you want to see more of such content and subscribe to my Youtube channel for free. You will get updates twice a week about the latest recipes the moment they are out. Now you can even subscribe to my channel from right here. Just click on the button below.
I had my first introduction to miso and it's magic, when I was travelling through Singapore back in 1998. It was in a posh eatery in the Quayside area. To my young self, the exotic flavours and textures that were flying out of the kitchen door was so exciting. I savoured every bit. We had a miso glazed chicken that day. I don't quite remember the name of the dish but I do remember the feeling it left in my mouth.
An explosion of umami happened in my mouth and that beautiful after taste that prompts instant salivation engaged my sense. I loved every bit of that and have always wanted to re-create that feeling.
Thankfully, in Bangalore, I now have access to all the ingredients that I need to create my Japanese pantry. I am tinkering and exploring as I go along. Made a bowl of ramen some time back. It is not in the 100% place yet but it's getting there.
So for this recipe, I have tried to bring together the flavours that got me first excited about Miso. I am using a red miso paste here (Akamiso) as the robust flavours of akamiso is a perfect match for meat glazes. You can learn the difference and when and how to use the different miso pastes in this post here. Check that out.
I am also using garlic and chillie powder to further enhance the flavours of this glaze. Believe me, between the savouriness of the miso and the heat of the chillie this glaze is so addictive. In case you cannot handle such heat, do substitute it for something like a sweet paprika instead. Adjust to your taste.
Miso's savoury umami is unmatched when it comes to making a glaze. #yum #miso Click To Tweet
One note on the salt in the recipe. Miso is seasoned in itself. Do taste the final glaze before you decide to add in the salt. As, miso by its lonesome is more than sufficient to flavour the dish.
The dish does very well in the freezer provided you re-heat it gently before eating and it also multiplies well if you need to serve this to a crowd. So I hope you try this dish. And before you leave to read the recipe and make it giddily, remember that I will be bringing you an excellent chicken kofta curry on Monday, so you need to come back in time 🙂
Let's be honest though, we all forget things; and with life happening all around you might not remember to come back to check a recipe. Why not subscribe to my updates and I will send you my coconut cookbook, plus delicious recipes every Friday along with hacks and downloadable guides that make cooking food from scratch as easy as it can be for you.
- 150ml Water
- 10gm Granulated White Sugar
- 5gm Garlic, crushed
- 1.5tsp Red Chillie Powder
- Pepper, to taste
- 50gm Miso Paste
- 5gm Cornflour, made in to a slurry with 50ml of Water
- 300gm Chicken Breasts, skin-less, cut in to strips
- 1.5tsp Sesame seeds, toasted
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- In a saucepan, heat some water and add in the granulated sugar and crushed garlic. Stir around, until the sugar dissolves.
- Add in the chillie powder, pepper and miso paste. Heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add the cornflour slurry. Stir well and heat for an additional 5 minutes till the glaze is thick and glossy.
- In an oven safe pan, place the cut chicken pieces. Pour the glaze on top. You may reserve a couple of tablespoons of the glaze to top off during the cook, if you feel the chicken is drying out. Place the prepared chicken pan in to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 73.8°C/165°F.
- Stir the chicken well, sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and serve hot on it's own or with rice or noodles.
If you want to use chicken with skin-on: brush a little bit of oil on to the pieces. Roast it in the oven for at-least 20 minutes. Then cover with the glaze and cook it till done.
The recipe multiplies well.
If storing in the freezer, it keeps well up to 1 month. Re-heat slowly to get the best results.
I have not mentioned salt in the recipe since miso is heavily seasoned. However, once the sauce is made, give it a taste and add some salt if needed to suit your taste.
Please let me know what you like about this recipe. Leave a comment below. When you make this recipe share a picture on Instagram with the hashtag #andcakestoo. That way I can search for your recreations.
I have many more fabulous chicken recipes like Pan-fried Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Coconut Chicken Curry or Spicy roast chicken that you can try out next. Or if you want another Asian fix try my Indian-Chinese Chillie Paneer instead.
Sharing this recipe with your friends & family on Facebook, Pinterest, etc. makes everyone happy. 🙂

Lots of Love,

As hard as Carl Quintanilla and Andrew Ross Sorkin tries to poke a hole in TSLA's story, they can't get through their liberal heads TSLA is exceeding expectations.
The reason TSLA trades at such a premium to GM is that TSLA didn't saddle itself with pension and healthcare liabilities, plus as hard it may be to believe, TSLA builds a car that people actually like mechanically and in appearance. I thought $150 would be reached with a narrow loss or breakeven, but TSLA beat with a 5 cent gain. It would have been $0.17 but they paid a $16 million early prepayment penalty to the Gov't for paying their loan back early. $200-$220 seems very reachable now in 2013.
Tesla cars are niche products. And they're going to face more competition. Meanwhile, that competition isn't coming from GM or the Chevy Volt. It's coming from the other makers of cars in the Tesla price range that are now introducing their own electrics. BMW, for one.
Thus, it's not the pension and healthcare costs at GM that matter. It's whether the company can earn a true cash profit on its sales of cars. How much can it earn selling, 20,000 or 50,000 or 100,000 cars? Enough to warrant a $15 billion market cap?
stockholderrevolt, you are plucking idiot short
You have no idea what you're talking about! BMW is competing with the Nissan Leaf. You're lucky if you get 100 miles out of it. Plus, it's not that attractive. I'd rather have the Model X if I was buying an SUV.
Rational arguments. Totally meaningless in the current context, however. It isn't really about the car. But if it were really about the car, the situation would be the same. When Henry Ford was starting out, the horse and buggy guys made good arguments regarding the silliness of good old Henry. That's the story here. If you had a time machine, would you buy Ford stock before the company was profitable? No, you would short the stock and go long buggy whips.
Sentiment: Buy
BMW is done, they are still bragging about their support of hitler, they can't even see straight, VW as well. They can't get off the gas, just like their buddy adolf
Tsla is an awesome story, but I can't touch it with that premium.
I was on the fence when it was at $32 but I bit when it jumped to $75 (a few months back). Doubled my money so far, although this strategy went against all conventional wisdom.
Why not?? I watched this thing at 100, 110, 120, 130, and 140 and I kept telling myself #$%$ am I doing just waiting on the sideline.........now you get this kind of report??? I bought 275 shares this morning at $153.02
Sentiment: Strong Buy
