This past week, The Amazing Race: International Cuisine was launched in Culinary Arts 3! With a refined game structure and new game mechanics, I am confident it will be the most AMAZING season yet! There are plenty of twists and turns to keep teams on their toes and we have some global collaborations in place that are already taking this game to another level!
Game Inspiration
My inspiration for my theme is the reality television game show, The Amazing Race that has been airing for 30 seasons on CBS. In this show, teams of two race around the globe competing with other contestants to get to each destination "Pit Stop" first. Contestants arriving first get special prizes and game advantages and last to arrive is eliminated from the race. As teams travel to various locations around the world, they are unlocking the clues provided at route markers in each leg that lead them to the next destination. Some clues direct them to perform a task that are related in some manner to the country wherein they are located or it's culture. In each leg, teams are eliminated until three remain and vie to reach the the final destination first.
Game Plan
I used the basic game structure and mechanics of this popular television show to create my own culinary version. This is my basic game plan, however there are sure to be plenty of surprises along the way in our amazing race adventures!
Teaming up!
Before the game launch, students form teams and create names and promotional video trailers. Spending a few days doing this allows students to bond with new team members before the race begins. I love the laughter, fun, and creativity that went into the creation of each of the team names and their video productions.
Game Launch!
On game day, students come in to The Amazing Race theme song playing in the background. I have 8 tables set up with a Chromebook and an envelope labeled, "Route Information". Projected on the screen it says, "Get ready! The first leg of The Amazing Race is about to begin!
I tell students that when the clock starts, they are on a race to find their first route marker. They need to open the envelope revealing three images and figure out what location they all have in common. Once they determine that location, which is Lyon, France, they must run to find it on the globe I have at the front of the room. If they guess correctly, they will be handed another envelope that contains another clue. This clue is an image of a famous restaurant in Lyon. They have to locate the image in Google Maps and in Street View find the man in the red chef's coat. This man holds the first route marker! When teams show me the man in red, I hand them a laminated route marker that is numbered with the place they arrived (ie. 1, 2, 3, etc.)
Selecting Countries!
Once all teams have received their route markers, it is time to select their countries! I tell them this first leg of the race will be Europe! I have chosen 4 countries in Europe that they will be choosing from to research and prepare a dish for. Four weeks from now when we arrive at the Pit Stop, teams will be presenting what they've learned and a dish they prepared from that country for an authentic audience of local chefs and staff members.
The name of each country is on a 3x5 card with the word "entree" or "dessert". To keep things exciting, I also wrote "Wild Card" on one card. If a team chooses the "Wild Card" they can select anywhere in Europe that they'd like. Starting with the Route Marker #1, teams in consecutive order select their country & meal category. This will be the country that they will be researching for leg 1 of the race!
The Amazing Race is off to an EPIC* start! Stay tuned, many more exciting adventures in The Amazing Race to come! Follow us on #culinarySMHS for race updates!
*I was informed by my son today that the word EPIC was outdated and laughable. I say... it's making a comeback!
Innovating Inside of the Box
Everywhere I turn I find frustrated teachers. These words echo in my head from bits of conversations I hear...
Kids today...
...they want to be entertained
...they don't show up on time
...they are entitled
...they lack focus
...they are lazy
...they don't meet deadlines
...I'm stressed
...so much pressure
...too many initiatives
...too many students
...too many hoops
...not enough time...
Sound familiar?
This week was an extremely difficult one for me. I just started a new semester with new kiddos, and have half of the energy I started with at the beginning of the school year. It took everything in me to fight these thoughts from creeping into my mind. I'm exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed. I pushed the negative back by taking some time to reflect on what I do and how I do it. The words "innovate inside of the box" came to mind, so I picked up one of my favorite books, Innovator's Mindset, and began reading...
"Let's not kid ourselves. In education, especially the public sector, schools are not overloaded with funding. Innovating in our schools requires a different type of thinking, one that doesn't focus on ideas that are "outside of the box" but those that allow us to be innovative despite budgetary constraints. In other words, we need to learn to innovate inside the box." -- George Couros
Many of us in education can say our schools are lacking either funding, resources, time, technology, or support... It's the box we live in. However, it's how we innovate inside those constraints that make the difference. Do we focus on all the limitations we have, or do we get creative and think about how we can do something new and better within the box we are given.
George Couros talks about the following 8 Characteristics of an Innovator's Mindset in his book and now as I read them again, I realize the extreme degree my mindset has shifted over the past few years and how it truly has saved me from the frustrations and burn out that so many educators face.
1. Empathetic - I am continuously asking myself the George Couros question, "Would I want to be a learner in my own classroom?" We can't expect our students to respond to the same methods of learning that we did. They are growing up in a different era. When we put ourselves in their shoes and see the world as they do, we will create learning experiences that are powerful. Inspired by Tara Martin's BookSnaps idea, my students create FoodSnaps to reflect on their creations using Snapchat; a tool that speaks their language. This is just one example of finding ways to create learning experiences that meets students where they're at.
2. Problem Finders/Solvers - I spend a lot less time on posing problems to students, and let them find the problems instead. So much learning happens when we get out of the way and encourage our students to find their own solutions. They become empowered and truly make learning their own. Instead of feeding students tons of information to consume, I now have students find this information on their own as well as find and solve their own problems. To take it further, creating authentic audiences by inviting in restaurant owners and staff for students to share their learning with takes it to a completely different level as the relevance and meaning skyrockets.
3 . Risk Takers - For many years, I waited for perfect before I launched a new idea or lesson. The reality was, more often than not, perfect never came and I just continued maintaining the status quo in fear that my new idea would fail. Since embracing an Innovator's Mindset, I don't fear risk taking anymore. I am continually pushing the boundaries of what's possible to create amazing experiences for my students. Those ideas and lessons do fail at times, but the wins far outweigh the losses and I've grown leaps and bounds in the iterative process of refining my practice. I also have found that modeling that risk taking with my students is so vital.. Students get used to my crazy ideas and embrace them as we learn together. Experiencing my boldness in teaching gives them the freedom to risk boldly too. So much growth happens when we take big leaps.
4. Networked - There was a time that I lived in a culinary silo. I went through my school days feeling isolated and alone. How could anyone relate to my world of Chef's knives and saute' pans? I was so wrong. Once I discovered Twitter and began developing a Professional Learning Network, a whole new world opened up to me! I realized that that it was ridiculous to remain in a culinary silo when there were educators from across the educational spectrum from Kindergarten through Higher Education that I could not only learn from, but collaborate with! I begun to share the learning that was happening in my class and found ways to integrate the ideas I was learning from other educators into my class as well. I started participating in and even moderating Twitter chats to develop deeper connections. I joined in Voxer communities to discuss books and topics that I was passionate about. Without a doubt, I've grown exponentially as an educator since I've become globally connected.
5. Observant - George Couros says, "Sometimes the most valuable thing you get from the network ins't an idea but the inspiration or courage to try something new." I find this to be so true. I have become so much more courageous in my teaching as I've been inspired by my PLN. I look at my world through a new lense now as well. When I read, run, hike, watch TV, people watch, and go through my normal day to day life, I am continuously looking for inspiration to bring into my classroom. It is amazing how many ideas are just waiting for us to grab hold of them and make them our own brand of awesome!
6. Creators - Learning is powerful when students go beyond consumption to creation. My classes are creation-based by nature; students are collaborating on a daily basis to create amazing food. However, creating has taken on a whole new meaning as students are not just following recipes, but taking the skills and techniques they learn to make something entirely new. Empowering students to make learning their own by coming up with their own creations is one of the most powerful things to experience as an educator. To see their face light up with pride as they present their unique and delicious dishes makes my heart leap with joy. Learning becomes so much more rich and meaningful when we give students opportunities to create and connect at this level.
7. Resilient - This past week my students reviewed safety and sanitation by working in teams to solve a digital breakout. I have never seen my students so engaged and immersed in learning about safe food handling practices and during my 7th block of the day! It was difficult and challenging, but they were all in! Well, all but one student whose comment made me internally bristle, "Mrs. Richmond, why don't you just have us do a worksheet…it would be easier." Well, yes it would be easier…much easier. Though, I will guarantee that the answers that are regurgitated from that worksheet would not be retained or hold as much meaning as what is learned from the critical thinking and collaborating that happened as students gathered around to unlock the series of digital break out clues. How often are we encouraging our students to stretch their thinking? Are we feeding them the answers, or challenging them in a safe environment where they can take risks, fail, and risk again? Additionally, I've come to realize that not everyone is going to agree with my approach to teaching and learning. It hurts sometimes, but I know what I'm doing works because my students are evidence of that. I have to continue doing what I know is working, even when others don't see the value or agree.
8. Reflective - One of the most powerful things I've begun to do as an educator is reflect regularly. Blog writing has become a wonderful and powerful way for me to not only document and share my learning, but to reflect on it myself. The more I do it, the more I crave it. I am able to make deeper connections as I put my practice into words and truly think about what is working and what is not. I also love to sketchnote my learning. When I read a book, attend PD, or listen to a podcast, I often will sketch my learning during and after to make deeper connections and allow it to resonate. As George states, "Looking back is crucial to moving forward." Having my blog posts and sketchnotes to look back on has been powerful for me as I continue to learn and grow as an educator.
I can't express enough how powerful these Innovator's Mindset characteristics have been in my EDUjourney. They have helped transform me as an educator as I embrace "change as an opportunity to do something amazing"! As I hit the midyear mark this week, I can tell you, I am EXHAUSTED! Teaching is extremely hard work. We invest so much of ourselves in the lives of kids. There are days I am frustrated, tired, and feel like I do not have an ounce of energy left. All that to say, since developing an Innovator's Mindset, those days don't define me as an educator. No matter how strong my feelings of frustration or exhaustion gets, my passion for teaching and learning is stronger. Innovation is contagious! Don't get stuck in your box….find ways to do something amazing within it. The more you innovate, the more you'll crave it!
Every conference I attend, I return home feeling like my life is richer. My mind could burst with all of the new ideas that I can't wait to bring back to my classroom. The sessions are great, the keynotes fantastic; however, what makes each experience so amazing is without a doubt, the people. To be surrounded by like-minded educators who share the same passion and zeal for education is energizing and inspiring to say the least.
This past week, I flew across the country from Medford, Oregon to Orlando, Florida, eager to connect with friends that I met through Twitter and Voxer conversations; close friends that I experience life with even though many miles and time zones separate us. In fact, some of these friends I had never even met face to face. For those who are not connected via social media, I know this must sound strange....maybe even crazy. However, it is absolutely true. My experience at FETC was made richer because of the meals and rich discussions we shared, sessions we facilitated together, long walks and Uber rides to sessions, and evening events. Spending time together not only strengthened our friendships, but also allowed us to expand our connections as we met others each were connected to. It was the hallway conversations, the evening discussions over dinner, the fun and laughter, that took my FETC experience to another level. I wonder how many people have conference experiences that are limited to the sessions they attend, the keynote, and the EXPO Hall wanderings? How many attend and only connect with the people they came with from their district?
There was a time when my conference experiences were limited to that as well. I didn't know any different. So what makes my experience different now? I have a Personal Learning Network....no, I have a Personal Learning Family. My PLF is made up of people from all around the world that I connect with on a daily basis through Twitter, Voxer, and even Snapchat. This amazing network of educators continually inspire, encourage, and challenge me time and time again and I most certainly would not be the educator I am today without them. It is safe to say that because of my global connections I have grown exponentially as an educator and opportunities have opened up to me that I would have never even dreamed of. I am more confident and courageous than I ever thought possible.
As I fly home and reflect on my amazing week, I am reminded of the tremendous power of being a connected educator. My life is richer because of the connections I've made and the friendships that have developed. My author friend, Aaron Hogan, sums it up beautifully in this quote from his book #TeacherMyth...
Sketchnotes of some of the #FETC sessions I attended:
Special shout out to: Rodney Turner, Rachelle Dene Poth, Mandy Froehlich, Jaime Donally, Jarod Bormann, Evan Abramson, and Jennifer Casa-Todd for being incredible friends and making my #FETC experience so fabulous. If you don't follow these EDUrockstars....do it now! They are AMAZING!
If you grew up in the 70's you will recognize, "Meet George Jetson" as the beginning of a popular futuristic cartoon theme song from back in the day. You may even start singing along! The Jetson's was one of my favorites to watch on a Saturday morning. I loved this cartoon that gave us a glimpse into what the 21st century may look like. Watching the episodes today, I realize that many of those futuristic inventions from the cartoon are indeed part of our everyday life. The home computer, cell phone, microwave oven, treadmill, teleconferencing, and robotics have become essential to our existence in 2018.
Looking back on my childhood, this may have been a good indication that I would become increasingly passionate about innovation as I grew older. I've always enjoyed dreaming about the possibilities for creating something new and better. Better yet, dreaming is not enough for me, I want to make those dreams a reality. This past November on Cyber Monday, I was scrolling through Amazon for all of their special deals. I was immediately drawn to the Echo Dot that remained fixated prominently on the top of the webpage. Call it good advertising, but it intrigued me . Better yet, it's price had drastically dropped for the day, so I decided to push the button and make the purchase. My intention was to use it for playing music in the kitchen while I was making dinner and maybe to ask "Alexa" random questions as I needed it, just as I would ask Google. However, I got more than I bargained for.
This Echo Dot purchase has been more than I ever anticipated it to be. As I walk into my kitchen, I simply say, "Alexa, play James Taylor." and Alexa answers, "Shuffling songs by James Taylor". Within 2 seconds my favorite song "Fire and Rain" is playing. The volume is a little low, so I ask Alexa to turn up the volume and sure enough, the volume increases. How cool is that?! This feels like the Jetson's world that I dreamed about when I was a little girl. As I was pondering the power of this little round dot that I had ordered on a whim, I began thinking, "What else can Alexa do?" If it can shuffle my favorite James Taylor songs, it must be able to do countless more!
My first thought was, "How could I use this in my classroom for learning?" As an educator passionate about the power of play, I started to wonder, "Does Alexa play games?" Searching the app, I was left stunned! Alexa LOVES to play games! In fact, there was no end to the games available to play! The question was, how could I narrow down the games and find the ones that I could use for student learning. Knowing that I was going to be starting International Cuisine soon, I typed in "world trivia" and low and behold....136 results showed up! ...Country Game, World Quiz, My World Capitals, the list goes on! My heart started racing as I realized the potential for this in my Culinary Arts 3 The Amazing Race gamified semester where we are on a race around the world to discover International Cuisine! The possibilities were endless!
Now my wheels were really spinning and sparks were flying! I had to discover what else Alexa could play!! I searched "food trivia" and sure enough 63 results! Food facts, Food Trivia, Noodle It Out, Cuisine Trivia. Holy Wow! This is incredible! What about picking teams? Could Alexa roll a dice or spin a wheel? Yes, she can! Type in "dice" and you will find 91 results! Spin a Wheel? Yep, she can do that too!!! I even discovered she can tell "punny food puns" or choose a flavor on a wheel!
Who knew that this little white dot named Alexa could bring a whole new world of experiences into my classroom! I still love that she can play music by my man, James Taylor, at a moments notice but, she is capable of so much more! I have just opened the treasure box, so I still have so much to try and learn. However, I just couldn't wait to share my discovery! Stay tuned as I explore the magic that the Echo Dot can bring to our classrooms. We truly are living in a Jetson's world.
Staying in the Race
I love the beginning of a new school year. After a summer of reading, relaxing, professional development and idea storming, my engine is fired up and I can hardly wait to press down on the accelerator at full speed when the "start" flag drops! I race into the first quarter with a full gas tank of excitement, energy, and ideas.
By second quarter I've settled into my lane and have set my pace. The established relationships with my students refuels me when my "low fuel" light turns on. I'm tired, but I'm still going strong and I'm excited about the progress and gains we've made. My students have grown so much and classes have bonded. We have gained momentum and are making great time.
Thanksgiving gives me a little break to refuel just enough to reach half a tank. Now I know I can make it to the Winter Break when I'll get a full-blown pit stop. When it finally arrives I am running on fumes. My gas tank light is blinking "empty". I am definitely in need of this time away. With a solid two weeks off, I'm able to get the rest and refuel that I so desperately need.
I start back in January with my accelerator pressed down to full speed again and off I go into the new year! Then..... POP! BANG! POW! Just two laps (weeks) in and I get a flat tire. I start fishtailing out of my lane and barely avoid a major collision. What happened?! I was feeling good. I thought I was off to a great start? I was in it to win it. I quickly face the harsh realization that even though my gas tank was full, I am not functioning at full capacity. I like to race at full speed and the Winter pit stop wasn't quite enough to prepare me for the intensity of ending a semester and all that entails.
As a semester teacher, I get a whole new crew in 2 weeks. I am gearing up for a complete reboot. New...
...class dynamics
All of this "new" comes without the freshness of a school year start. I haven't had a summer to get a system overhaul. I don't have a week of inservice to organize and put my room back together again. Then there's the sadness. Our classes have bonded; we are family. We have found our rhythm and have created an amazing class dynamic. We've had triumphs and struggles, shared moments of laughter and tears. We've worked hard and we've had loads of fun. To say goodbye to these students who I have built relationships with is incredibly hard for me. I've invested in them. I love em'.
So how do I get back in the race after I fishtail and find myself off course? I take a deep breath and realize that I need to take care of myself. I schedule time to "refuel" each week by prioritizing my personal passions; running, family laughter, writing, and reading. Then, I swap my tires for some with incredible tread and get back in the race. There is no other option. My new students will be walking through my door in 2 weeks excited for new adventures. I need to buckle up and get ready for a wild and amazing race because my students most definitely deserve an energetic, passionate, joyful Mrs. Richmond and a magical semester of learning.

Batman: The Dark Knight (2008) Review
I don't know you anyways, but that is beside the point. I do give a word of warning to those that have not seen this film yet.
I just realized now that my reviews have yet to touch on the ratings of movies, but I don't think I will bring it up unless it has something to do with the storytelling aspect of the film like some of the creative choices in Justice League: The New Frontier (which, by the way, is excellent so buy, borrow or steal a copy if you're a DC fan with some background knowledge - it is not very new-comer friendly though the comic solves all those problems). With some thought on the subject, I am glad that this movie is not rated R. At times, I have found movies try so very hard to get a certain rating when it comes between being PG-13 or R. They are either flying right underneath the radar of R or do anything and everything within their power to get it, which can be harmful to the storytelling. I am convinced that this is why certain PG-13 movies are far worse in content than many R rated ones that may or may not have some failings as stories.
The Dark Knight defies what is considered R rated material for it is disturbing, violent and non-apologetic. It makes no excuses and has no bars. Masterful and tasteful, it is a film that should not be missed by anyone with the nerve to sit all the way through. In those seats in front of the screen, it does not matter if you have read the comics. It does not care about your ignorance or your knowledge. Granted, fans of the source material will appreciate, but there is plenty to behold for the new viewers.
As ridiculous as it sounds, it will make you believe in Harvey Dent.
Whether or not you walk away with a message completely falls upon the shoulders of the viewer. They alone can decide for themselves what "entertainment" means to them. To me, what entertains us should not be empty smiles and time killed. The things that keep us busy, but give nothing back are hollow, false entertainments that can never be art and entertainment should be art. Catharsis should come with something to make us better if only because we need it so badly. But, perhaps betterment is not a need that is to be filled. Perhaps it is something that we need to be reminded in a world of dazzling lights at the speed of electronic processing.
Of course, I'm waxing philosophically at almost 4 in the morning. This could all be gibberish or something brilliant. But it seems like it comes down to the basic differences between DC and Marvel.
Marvel heroes, on the whole, tend to be deeply flawed, powered, but mostly human and very easy to relate to. DC heroes, mostly, are either masked adventurers or there to inspire. Some characters are there for self-improvement in one way or another, but most are to set an example.
Does this mean one universe is better than the other? Not really. I'm not here to preach morals. I just would like to talk to someone.
The Dark Knight has a message if you care to carry it with you. I believe in Harvey Dent. I hope you get to know what I mean.

After watching the film, the themes that I continued to discuss after the film were human nature and order/chaos.
Oddly enough, while I agree with the Joker's premise (that humanity as a whole would claw at each other if pushed hard), I disagree with his conclusion (that we should live without rules).
I'm curious as to the themes/messages that you walked away from the movie, as well as your thoughts on the season (and possibly series) finale of A:TLA.

Certainly! I would enjoy that. We could try to set up a chat meetup time. If I could, I would set up a chat room on here, but I wouldn't know how.
I haven't seen Sozen's Comet yet because my recorder thing decided to rebel against me. Mike and Brian though promised that this wouldn't be the last season and that the stories of the four nations would continue - just not the same storyline. I have also heard rumors that the name might be a misnomer, which I wouldn't be surprised. Internationally, it's called Avatar: Master of the Elements.

When did Mike and Brian promised that? And would Nick actually air them?
As for the chatroom, I have no objections to it. Just let me know when.

The calendar tells me that it has been more than one month since I was last here, which feels both much shorter and much longer than the reality (as always seems to be the case). The biggest event of the last month for us, though, is definitely this: We are now officially the proud parents of a bona fide, honest-to-goodness toddling toddler. Our little man can walk! A few weekends ago, B3 graduated from his half-lunging, half-toppling three-step walk to teetering halfway across the room on his own, and in the last few days he's been making his way around the entire apartment–usually with both fists up, his belly stuck out, eyes opened as wide as they will go, and mouth open in a grin like a manic puppy. It is the craziest thing. If someone could bottle up the giddiness you get from looking up to see your previously quadripedaling baby suddenly wobbling towards you on his two feet, no one would ever have a bad day again.
kimchi potato skins
I spent the summer between high school and college working two jobs, one as a hostess at a Chinese restaurant and the other as a waitress at a T.G.I.Friday's. Most of my time at T.G.I.Friday's was spent (1) trying to raise my voice enough in the kitchen that they could hear me when I asked for more ranch, (2) forgetting to enter orders, or (3) eating breadsticks out of the breadstick bin. (I may have been the worst server they had.)
korean potato salad (gamja salad)
Two days after we moved to LA, we promptly left again on what would previously have been practically impossible (or at least, incredibly not enjoyable) from our former home, the quickest weekend trip back to B2's home in Hawaii. We went for a wedding and for Halmunee-to-be's first encounter with her grandbaby (whom she likes to call "her baby"). In 48 hours there, we ate our weight in homemade Korean food, I was shut down on every attempt to help around the house (okay, so I didn't try that hard), and we did a lot of marveling at how gleeful it is to fly to Hawaii from the West Coast and to say goodbye to red-eye flights of East Coasts past. And we saw boars at the wedding! (They were not part of the procession.)
In the week or so since then, most of my time in LA so far has been something like this: learning about this thing called June gloom, adjusting euphorically to having an office with an actual window and actual sunlight in the afternoons after said June gloom, trying to buy out every single supermarket's abundance of produce even though our Airbnb has very little in the way of kitchens, spending much more time on Google looking at traffic, and, most of all, gaping at the open, open spaces, and the endless expanse of blue sky overhead, which is as bright and all-encompassing and wrapped around you like a sunny blanket as the one in New York felt narrow and distant and shielded from you by high buildings. Of course, there's plenty to miss about the home we left behind in New York, but I think it's safe to say we really like it here so far. I get the sense we'll like it even more when we move into our actual apartment (we found one! yippee!) this Saturday. It's a happy relief.
potato, garlic, & leek soup
Every once in a blue moon, usually when we're just about to fall asleep, B2 likes to come up with ideas for things I should cook next. I use "ideas" loosely, because it's mostly a sleepy, intentionally goofy dialogue that consists of "what about …" followed by a long pause and things like "… homemade hot pockets!" (to be fair, that would be delicious) or "something with cheese" or "pumpkin toast." (When I asked what pumpkin toast would be, like toasted pumpkin bread or toast with pumpkin on it or toasted pumpkin or what, his answer was, "You know. Pumpkin. Toast. Pumpkin toast." And then he fell asleep. Two weeks later, I showed him this and he said, with glee, "See? It was a good idea!")
herbed focaccia & pimento romesco
Hi friends! How was your weekend? We spent a fun one down in North Carolina at the wedding of one of Bowl #2's college friends. This might just be me and the fact that I haven't gone to that many yet, but I feel like I love weddings more and more with every one I go to, even when I'm a plus-one and I've never met the bride and groom. (But also there's a 20% chance you'll find me crying in my office to YouTube highlight reels of strangers' weddings on any given afternoon. Just so you know what kind of constitution you're dealing with.)
spicy gochujang pigs in a blanket // a pig & quill baby shower!
It's a Pig & Quill baby shower!! I can't remember when I first came across the sassy sunshine that is Emily's blog, but it's one of my oldest reads — Emily's irreverent vivacity and passion for good eats make the Internet that much brighter, and on the days when she turns reflective, it's the kind of writing that hits home, lingers, and inspires. Also, she knows how to enjoy her SPAM. I don't know what else I could ask for from a blog. The best news is that Em is having a mini-Em in just a few weeks, and when the amazing Gina and Sherrie put together a virtual party to celebrate, I couldn't wait to join in.
taiwanese popcorn chicken
I'm a sucker for food with meaning. I associate food with all sorts of things — a means of gathering together, a mode for celebration, a medium of remembrance, a conduit for family traditions, all those grand words. I love it all. This means I probably end up ascribing too much significance to my food sometimes — wait no we have to get peanut M&Ms before we board because we always have peanut M&Ms on the plane! — but somehow, I just love how much food can mean to us, and how much power it carries beyond just sustenance.
This Taiwanese popcorn chicken is a case in point — I was so, so excited to recreate it for Food52 a few weeks ago, because it comes from such a special place and time. Bowl #2 and I first discovered its glory on a short weekend trip to Taipei a few years ago (a mini trip inside a big, big one I've mentioned a few times before) and after we first tried it, I dragged B2 all over Taipei to try every other Taiwanese fried chicken joint I could Google in the rest of our short days there. (Resulting in us getting lost on more than one occasion. And ending up in a deserted garage trying to describe our difficulties to a baffled Taiwanese man on a moped.)
swiss chard & quinoa cakes, with garlic yogurt // a lodge giveaway!
Oh man. So here's a thing about me — I am really, really clumsy. Like, if I were a candy bar, I'd be this one. And if I were an idiom, I'd be a bull in a china shop. Sometimes I think it amazes Bowl #2 — who does everything thoughtfully and deliberately and un-clumsily — how little sense I have of space and time and, you know, where my body is. (It amazes me too.)
And I've been on a roll lately! I don't know if I've just been really out of it from a few long weeks at work, but I am a bull in the china shop of life these days. Yesterday I was slicing a chicken breast and overturned the cutting board into a sink full of dirty dishes. A few weeks ago, B2 had to play ceramics doctor on a beloved Akiko Graham plate after I broke it and almost had a heart attack, and this weekend I spilled an entire ink bottle all over the table, myself, and the floor in the middle of addressing our wedding invites. I don't even know. But all's well that ends well — thanks to B2's magic, the plate is as good as new (can you even tell?!) and thanks to Jesus, the ink missed our wedding invites (and our white couch, ohmygosh) and our first batch of invites actually made it into the mail this morning! We finally mailed (some of) our invites! Small miracles.
(I don't know what to say about the chicken. Or my ink-stained legs, which currently look diseased. But otherwise, miracles!)
Pinch dishes by The Fortynine Studio and the incredibly lovely Yossy Arefi; plates by Akiko Graham from The-Commons; oblong dish from Crate & Barrel; 10-inch seasoned steel skillet from Lodge.
maple sweet potato casserole & thyme marshmallows // thanksgiving stuffing dinner rolls
Pinch dishes from The Fortynine Studio.
We had a mini impromptu Friendsgiving last weekend! Even in miniature, it was my first time putting together anything remotely like a Thanksgiving meal on my own, and it was so much fun. For the main, I braised an abundance of chicken legs using Jamie Oliver's milk chicken recipe, which was life-changing and totally worth the hype, at least in my opinion (also, one day I will stop being scared and I will roast a whole chicken, I swear). For the salad we had mixed greens with ridiculously ripe Bosc pears and shaved Parmesan, drizzled with a bit of balsamic vinegar and olive oil — simple and easy. But my favorite dishes — as it should be with Thanksgiving — were these sides.
pear & gorgonzola salad with cinnamon-glazed walnuts
After vacation last month and a slow start getting back into the swing of things, these last couple of weeks feel like we're settling back into old routines. Slow mornings aided by snooze buttons (why is it so much harder to get up when it gets chilly out?) later evenings in the office with a salad and extra coffee with PSL syrup. On my commutes I tap out ideas for these posts on my phone, or play with Steller. Other times I doze off on the person next to me and things get awkward.
Lately, in an effort to keep my forehead from landing on my neighbors' shoulders, I've been reading a lot — the ubiquitous Fault in Our Stars; The French Lieutenant's Woman; South of the Border, West of the Sun; on Molly's rec, Jeffrey Steingarten's awesome and hilarious essay compilations. Reading food writing (well, the non-blog kind) is new for me, but awesome — I've been nose-deep in One Souffle at a Time by Anne Willan, and I'm super loving it so far.
To be totally honest, I'm a spring and summer girl all the way. But I kind of savor the evenings after busy fall days in a certain way that I don't summer nights. Bowl #2 puts on some TV series or another (right now, a rewatch of How I Met Your Mother — yess) while he keeps working and I pretend to work but actually just lie prostrate under the favorite extra-nubbly throw blanket I've been longing for since May, nursing a cup of hot tea. We stay up too late, then spend too long talking in bed, leading to … another slow, snoozed-alarm morning, when it starts all over again.
Awhile back, when we were still in the midst of summer and spontaneity, B2 and I trekked up to New Haven for the day and visited an old haunt of his, Bar, to do a little recon on a recipe I've been wanting to recreate. We went for the pizza, but as it turns out, they also serve up a pretty mean salad — the one that gave rise to this version. The combination here is nothing new, so I won't say too much more, but I thought it was a perfect fall segue salad, with the sweet spiced decadence of autumnal comfort foods, but the freshness of crunchy fruit and leafy greens for balance. It isn't the kind of salad you order for dinner at work when you're trying to be good, the kind where you're thinking about protein and good fats and staying power. It's just the fun kind, the kind on the side that's kind of dessert hiding out in a camouflage of greens. But it's cool, because we have like five years before it's beach season again, right? 🙂

Skip to comments.UT: Legislature says: Open Carry is not Disorderly Conduct
Posted on 03/14/2014 9:20:20 PM PDT by marktwain
66.0409 (6) Unless other facts and circumstances that indicate a criminal or malicious intent on the part of the person apply, no person may be in violation of, or be charged with a violation of, an ordinance of a political subdivision relating to disorderly conduct or other inappropriate behavior for loading, carrying, or going armed with a firearm, without regard to whether the firearm is loaded or is concealed or openly carried. Any ordinance in violation of this subsection does not apply
The reform is now headed to Governor Gary Herbert's desk. Governor Herbert vetoed a constitutional carry bill in September of 2013. Governor Herbert has 10 days, not counting the day he receives the bill or Sundays, to sign or veto the bill. If he does not veto it during that period, it becomes law. If the legislature adjourns before the law is signed, and it is not vetoed, it becomes law 20 days after adjournment.
(3) The mere carrying or possession of a holstered or encased firearm, whether visible
or concealed, without additional behavior or circumstances that would cause a reasonable
person to believe the holstered or encased firearm was carried or possessed S. [
unlawfully or
criminal intent, does not constitute a violation of this section. S. [
For purposes of this section, the
belief of a reasonable person may not be based on a mistake of law.
] .S Nothing in this Subsection
(3) may limit or prohibit a law enforcement officer from approaching or engaging any person in
a voluntary conversation.
I just can't think of a useful comment or a good snark.
How about: I hope Herbert doesn't flub this like he did constitutional carry.
This is even a question?
"Disorderly Conduct" has been used as a way to chill the exercise of second amendment rights for at least 50 years that I know of.
It has become well known in the last decade.
Who are they kidding? I've had cops tell me on FR DisCon applies to anything you do that the cops don't like when they want to just shut you up. Failure to grovel? Disorderly Conduct. Next stop, fingerprints and DNA sample. You are no longer innocent, you are in the system. You are now officially a criminal in the criminal system. Years from now, when you are a good father or grandfather, you suddenly become a suspect in a crime you never heard of. All because of a time pne bully cop decided, all on his own, you failed to show him proper "respect."
That's how they roll. The intent is to make every single "little person" into a criminal they have a record of.
It's used as a method to chill the exercise of every right known to man. They're cops, its what they do. It's their job, and they love it.
Good. I nope this spreads to other States.
Mine would be nice. Open carry is much more comfortable...
Nope should have been hope.
My iPad hates me sometimes...
"Mine would be nice. Open carry is much more comfortable.."
So why not start? Looks like MN is a OC with a license state. Opencarry.org has a forum on MN.
10 years ago, OC was relatively unusual in VA. It's getting more common with time.
Actually. I have. Just in areas where I know local law enforcement is ok with it and won't harass you for it.
Would like to hit an Open Carry picnic this summer if I can. I know there was a local group that had their event in a popular downtown park (Como Zoo in St. Paul).

My name is NOT Julie...(146 Posts)
So I am reasonably friendly with a mum at the school. Our DC are both 6 and we have known each other for 16 or so months. Our kids play together in the holidays, do a club together and have tea etc, so a fair amount of contact.
I'm called Julia. She has always, ALWAYS called me Julie. I have corrected her twice over the months. Nicely but emphatically. The first time she said it I smiled and said ' It's Julia or Jules, either of those is fine, ' and the second time I just said ' Eeek! I don't like Julie.. it's julia! ' again with a smile. I have also corrected her son in front of her when he has said it.
She is the sort who use your name A LOT. And still she says Julie.
So.. would this irritate you? Annoy you? Not bother you?
It annoys the FUCK out of me
I have an Aunty Julia. But everyone verbally calls her Julie, she is never called Julia. Only when writing it do they spell Julia and not Julie.
Strangely though it's not even her real name. I found out the other day that her realy name is Ethel!?
You need to be more like my DD . She is Isabel but my friend's little boy kept calling her Annabel. Every time he said Annabel she corrected him nicely until on the hundredth time she ended up shouting "My name is ISABEL, ISABEL! I am NOT Annabel!"
I understand how annoying it is though. In High School I was called Michelle by my Maths teacher and Vicky by my physics teacher, for FIVE years. Neither is even close to my name!
I have a Celtic name that is spelt very differently to the English version.
80% of the time I fill a form out I get asked to check the spelling of my own name! I swear the next person who ask's if my name is spelt correctly will get my pregnant hormones in full force. I mean I know how to spell MY name!
OP I would call her on it every time surely she knows your name now.
Get a sheet of address labels. Next time she calls you Julie, get a label, write My Name is JULIA on it and stick it to yourself, forehead might be an obvious place, tho perhaps a little OTT.
There were 3 of us in my class with the same name. So we were named by height, or rather by size. I will never forgive teacher for saddling me with the prefix "Big" as it lived with my sensitive teenage self for too many years.
I also hated the
Little version. She tweelly referred to herself as Little X in the third person especially when relaying a good test score. "Ooh
Little X got 98%".
Little twat.
My friend has a new baby Orla. A neighbour saw her in the street and said "why did you call her Ola, after the one on Strictly?" My friend said her name is Orla NOT Ola. The neighbour was adamant she was Ola as another neighbour had told her so. My friend got a bit cross in the end and had to say "I am her Mother. I gave her the name Orla, I think I know better than x down the road!" The neighbour still didn't seem convinced!
I also have an 'a' ending name which has a more common varient of ending in an 'e', I get called the wrong name all the time, don't like the name but often let it go. However in your situation I'd be fecked off. Is she a wind up merchant
or thick?
I've got an awkward arsed name, and long ago gave up on everyone getting it right
a mate though, I would expect to call me the right name, maybe next time say...do you know you keep saying my name wrong?
I had someone call me Molly for about a month. My name's nothing like Molly. I actually missed it afterwards, I quite like the name.
I am called a nickname from the time my mother was pregnant, my parents have never called me anything else ever and I find it hard to answer to my "real" name, too, because I forget it's my name.
My name is extremely common, and there are hundreds of us about. It has 5 letters.
There is a less common version with one letter missing off the end. More often than not, I get it spelt the shorter way. have even had people insisting it should be spelt the shorter way. <boggle>
I must confess to a brain freeze several years ago. Met a woman at nursery called Rebecca. (Names changed btw). I called her Rachael. I continued to call her Rachael for an embarassingly long time because my brain seemed to freeze around - "Biblical name beginning with R - Rachael."
Managed to get it right eventually, and she was very nice about it!
Oh this would really annoy me.
I have an usual name that normally gets pronounced as 'Sara' by people that can't read it properly. I once pulled up a manager of mine in a big meeting about how he was saying it. Everyone looked at me like I was out of order but I didn't want to spend the rest of the time in that job being called something that wasn't my name!
Well if you think its just because she is a bit dim then I would think of way to have fun with it (if there isnt too much steam coming out of your ears), change her name she if she notices, write yourself a name tag (like a previous poster suggested) etc.
I would be worried if I had thought she was doing on purpose as changing someones name I would consider a bit of a put down
sorry - I have an 'unusual' name. Not usual.
I'm a Julie, and normally get called Jules by family which is fine...and some people call me Julie Wulie.....WHICH IS NOT BLOODY FINE .
Funnily enough, I was named after my grandmother, who was called Julia....
i am Andrea and have been called Anthea soooo many times.
i just have to correct it - i always do it in a loud guffaw like the person's been a complete prat for getting it wrong.
People often get my name wrong and I get; Paula (misheard as this) Carly or Clara. I just find it embarrassing having to correct.
Once I tried to correct a women who decided my name was Chloe when I worked at a supermarket when I was 17. I corrected her but she carried on calling me Chloe. I just answered her she looked a right twat though when she called me Chloe to my manager.
Since getting married I am also blessed with a surname that is frequently mixed up with a more common surname.
My name is Alice and I quite often get called Alison.
Some people don't seem to believe it's not short for Alison. Even when I say 'Alice, as in wonderland'. Pretty sure it's never been called Alison in Wonderland. Grrrr.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I hate being called the wrong name! I hate most of all when people who don't know me call me the very shortened version of my name-THAT IS FOR INTIMATE FRIENDS AND FAMILY ONLY!!! Not you, Mr Bank Manager or you who I only work with occasionally. It literally makes me boil inside!
I either get Angela, Angelique or Angeline or sometimes Ange (the last one does irritate me especially if they do not know me).
My sister in law pronounces and spells my name incorrectly. I've been married over 10 years now. I used to correct her but now I expect it. Doesn't bother me anymore and I've given up correcting her.
One day she might get it

Wilder Board Chair Robyn Hansen and Kristi Moua and Leah Driscoll of Twin Cities Mobile Market with Ramsey County Commissioner Rafael Ortega.
Twin Cities Mobile Market has been honored for its efforts to improve health outcomes by bringing healthy food to underserved neighborhoods.
The Mobile Market, a program of the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, received the 2015 Ramsey County Public Health Award. Wilder Foundation Board Chair Robyn Hansen, Twin Cities Mobile Market Manager Leah Driscoll and Client Services Specialist Kristi Moua accepted the award on April 7.
The Mobile Market brings store-quality healthy, affordable food at 18 locations in Saint Paul.

The market involves community partners, volunteers and input from hundreds of residents.
Ramsey County gave the award to four recipients on the basis of their leadership, advocacy, collaboration and work to improve community health. In addition to the Mobile Market, the Saint Paul Public Housing Agency, Urban Roots and Pa Niya Vang received the award.See Ramsey County's news release for more information.

I'd just like to share this recent travel of mine. This is recommended if you want to escape the stress of work and life at Manila or if you really need some dose of vitamin sea 🌊✨
Ito din ay biglaang plano. Kagagaling ko lang sa Pulilan (Bulacan) from our team building nung time na to tapos 3 days na kong di umuuwi ng bahay haha, medyo beastmode ang aking mamang lol. But the experiences and adventure was worth it 💕
So I spent my 13th month pay on this just to escape the toxic reality of my life (lalo na sa work). So i'd like to thank Bem for joining with me. Dapat talaga ako lang mag-isa aalis, pero narealize ko na medyo di pa ko ready sa ganun so buti na lang free itong si Bem and just like me, she also needs a 'me time'. Stressed naman daw siya sa thesis niya haha!
So here it is guys. I'll share this na.
CRYSTAL BEACH RESORT at IBA, ZAMBALES
How to get there:
- From Manila, ride a bus at Victory Liner Cubao bound to Olongapo (P207/head)
- When you arrive at the Olongapo terminal, ride another bus bound to Iba, Zambales (P70/head – aircon bus)
- Then tell the driver to drop you off at San Narciso. Hindi naman kayo maliligaw dahil makikita naman yung signs pag nakapasok na kayo ng San Narciso and yung pagbababaan niyo eh mismo doon sa labas ng simbahan.
- When you arrive at San Narciso, ride a tricycle to Crystal Beach Resort. (P20/head)
Other method:
- From Manila, ride a bus at Victory Liner Cubao bound to Iba, Zambales (Not sure how much yung pamasahe dito basta dapat hindi lalagpas ng 300/head) hanggang 9am lang ang trip na to.
- Drop-off at San Narciso
- When you arrive at San Narciso, ride a tricycle to Crystal Beach Resort. (P20/head)
We were greeted by the staff kindly mehehe. It was Sunday at that time and we arrived there at around 1pm. So basically, it is the check out of the previous pipz.
We were supposed to avail a fan room that costs P1,700 (Tower of Shem or Tower of Micah) but found out that it was still occupied until Monday. Tapos muntik na kaming makakuha ng room na 3-4 pax that costs P3,500, so shet diba muntik na malagas pera namin 😂 So dahil dun, no choice kami at sinagad na namin maging wanderer chenelin lolz — we chose na mag tent na lang.
Tent costs 700 per person, inclusion of mats and pillows and a P250 worth of food and drink.
For other rates, just check the photo below
It's my first time to sleep in a tent so medyo natuwa ako and at the same time, stuggle siya for me lalo na pag magbibihis na haha. Pero gandang experience na din 👌🏻👍🏻 Actually, I suggest na mag tent kayo kung gusto niyo ma-feel ang travel niyo at be the one with the nature.
The sand of this beach is really dazzling and becomes white when shone by the sun. Perfect for picture-taking ✨
What we just did there:
- Just relaxed, "me time"
- Appreciate the beauty of nature
- Picturetaking and selfies
- Swimming and played with the waves
- Stargazing until 11pm
- Self-reflection sa buhay. Charot
- Watched the sunrise at 5am and chilled on the beach until 9am
This is the time while we are waiting for our tent to set up. Diretso agad kami sa beachfront. 2pm daw kasi ang check in, eh dumating kami around 1pm. So ayun, chill muna nung time na to at hinintay ang 2pm.
Super happy! Got my vitamin sea 💙
Laylayan feels and camping feels 😂💚
Bem's camera is the 💣✨
More more photos 💛
Our dinner worth P250 (inclusion of the Tent Rental fee) and breakfast.
Beastmode kami nung dinner dahil napagod kami makipaglaro sa mga alon hahaha. So sulit na siya guys! All in na namin yung P250 worth para sa dinner na to. Pero kung hindi kami nagbeastmode, may matitira pa sana for breakfast mehehe
and ito yung sa breakfast. Yung nagbayad na kami mismo
Stargazing and self-reflection sa life. Chos
Watched the sunrise 🔆🔆🔆
Seize the moment💕
- Meet or greet some people. Socials. Mababait mga tao nung pumunta kami. Tyaka kudos sa mga staff ng beach resort dun! Binabati kami pag nakasalubong or nadaanan namin sila 😊
- You can do surfing! Kaso di ko natanong kung magkano yung bayad nun. But the rental fee and surfing lesson is already included.
- There's a bonfire set up every night. So prepare some stories to share or music jamming if you have instruments na dala. Perfect para sa mga magbabarkada.
- You can bring food but there's a corkage fee.
- If you need to charge your cellphones or gadgets, you can ask assistance to the front desk of the resort. There are also charging stations on the beach resort's restaurant. So habang kumakain, nakapagcharge ako 👍🏻

This alone has caused for countless of online casino operators to rapidly set up modern live casino platforms from popular software providers. Live casinos are probably the fastest growing divisions in the online casino industry, and because of that a couple of new software companies have dedicated their resources to developing strictly live casino platforms.
Live casinos are hundred percent safe and secure, and mostly they are simply just additions to the existing casino services of online casinos.
There are only few online casinos that function solely as live casinos without offering standard computer-simulated casino games. US casinos too have accepted this trend of setting up live dealer casinos as part of their overall service and some of the best US live dealer casinos can be found at our website.
As the video streaming technology improves and new software solutions as well as live casino features are developed, so will live casinos get even more attention than ever. One simple and main advantage is that you can enjoy the excitement of playing against a real-life dealer that uses real playing cards just like in a brick and mortar casino.
In live dealer casinos there are no Random Number Generator RNG games whatsoever, which means that the outcome is influenced by an actual croupier. So everything is as real as it gets. Another welcoming feature is the ability to chat with the dealer and also with your co-player. This makes the game playing a lot more social and fun. Since it is just like in a real-life casino setting, the pace is a lot slower at multi-player tables.
This means you have more time to observe what goes on while contemplating your next move.

March 17, at 4: Often a tumor may develop without causing a patient any symptoms. Their discovery frequently takes place during a routine eye examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Sometimes blurry or distortion vision may result as the tumor grows in size. Sudden loss of eyesight may happen if the retina become detached as a result of the tumor. What are the different types of ocular tumors?
Some common types of ocular growths include: A retinoblastoma is a tumor that primarily occurs in infants. This malignant growth is a hereditary condition. Hemangioma is a benign congenital growth usually made of blood vessels.
A choroidal nevus is a flat, pigmented, benign lesion freckle in the blood vessel layer of the eye. A nevus rarely transforms into a malignant growth. What are the causes for eye cancers? Scientists still do not have a clear answer to what causes tumors or cancers in the eye. While some conditions are inherited, others are not. Researchers have noted some risk factors; however, these features do not mean someone will develop any of the diseases.
Transversely, many patients who have none of the risk factors have been diagnosis with a ocular tumor. At this point, investigations suggest that caucasians are at higher risk of an intraocular melanoma than Asian-Americans or African-Americans.

Renewable energy critics have been keen to use events over last week's heatwave in Victoria and South Australia to imply that the Renewable Energy Target will place power supplies at risk.
The Australian Financial Review had the headline emblazoned over its weekend edition front page, "Solar and wind can't stand the heat". The Australian ran a story headlined, "Wind fails test as demand soars", pointing out wind's low output around midday on Wednesday. It observed that this event "served to highlight a longstanding argument about the impact of intermittent renewable energy on the stability and reliability of electricity networks".
And Senator John Madigan put out a press release on Friday stating:
"John Madigan has slammed the government's renewable energy target of '20 per cent renewable by 2020' … Every year it gets hot and every year we have both residential and commercial power outages. Increasing our renewable energy target means we are relying more on energy sources that are unreliable."
Solar and wind power certainly aren't like a fossil fuel plant whose fuel supply you can readily control (although you can control fuel supply for hydro and bioenergy, which are also supported by the RET). So is their growth about to put us at risk of blackouts?
The first thing to note is that the RET doesn't prevent fossil fuel power stations from being built nor mandate their closure – although a number of these plants will, no doubt, run less frequently than they have in the past. For the most part, we have way more fossil fuel capacity than we need, and we can still use fossil fuels in circumstances that, say, the wind is low or the sun isn't shining.
The second thing one needs to realise is that ensuring power supply reliability is not unlike most other things in life – to cope with challenging events it helps if you can see them coming in advance and prepare accordingly.
To illustrate, consider two alternative situations in which you might find yourself unemployed:
1) One day at work, after many years of loyal service your boss tells you you're fired with no redundancy payout. You are taken completely by surprise. You've just used up all your annual leave on a recent holiday and had just bought a new house, mortgaging yourself to the eyeballs... OR
2) You've come to the end of a six-month temporary employment contract. You knew in advance when the contract would expire, so have been looking around for another job and have two offers on the table. In addition, you've saved up a bit of money and have no big debts.
Out of the two situations which would you prefer?
There's no point pretending that solar PV and wind power are some perfect source of energy for meeting peak power needs, just like a six-month temporary employment contract is not ideal. But their behaviour is reasonably predictable and so we can plan around their shortfalls. It is kind of obvious that the solar PV's output is linked to the how sunny it is. By happy coincidence this happens to correlate to an extent with high peaks in electricity demand over summer. In addition, it is also true that wind speeds vary over time and unfortunately wind speed bears little relationship to electricity demand.
The Australian Energy Market Operator, who is responsible for keeping the lights on, happens to know both these facts and takes them into account in planning how much power supply is needed from other sources to cope with events like last week.
How did solar perform relative to AEMO's expectations?
In 2012 AEMO released a study they undertook into solar PV which concluded:
If you look at the solar output charts below from the Australian Photovoltaic Institute you'll notice that solar PV performed pretty much as AEMO would have expected. For a large proportion of the time when metered demand (demand for electricity from the wholesale market) combined across Victoria and SA exceeded very high levels of 12,500MW, the average proportion of solar capacity producing power across the two states combined was close to the 28-38 per cent range. Tuesday was the only day when the PV output fell short of AEMO's range around the time of the absolute peak in metered demand, but on the other days it was comfortably higher. What might be surprising to some is that it wasn't uncommon for solar to be producing greater than a third of installed capacity as late as 5pm (Victorian time).
Monday (metered demand remained well below 12,500MW throughout day)
Tuesday (metered demand above 12,500MW from 3-7pm and peaked around 6pm)
Wednesday (metered demand above 12,500MW from 1-7pm and peaked around 4pm)
Thursday (metered demand above 12,500MW from 1pm-8pm and peaked around 5.30pm)
Friday (metered demand above 12,500MW from 1pm-6pm and peaked around 4.30pm)
How did wind perform relative to AEMO's expectations?
In terms of wind, SA and Victorian farms' output was highly variable over the heatwave week and there were two occasions around the middle of the day when output was a low percentage of installed capacity. Based on historical data AEMO expects that during the top 10 per cent of summer demand periods, South Australian wind generation contributes at least 8.6 per cent of its installed capacity for 85 per cent of the time and for Victoria its 6.6 per cent.
Now last week during the periods that combined demand across Victoria and SA were very high (above 12,500MW) wind farms in Victoria and SA produced at an average of 22 per cent of their installed capacity. Wednesday was the outlier with very low output of 7.4 per cent, Tuesday it was 20.4 per cent, Thursday 24 per cent and Friday 36 per cent. Across the entire period of demand being above 12,500MW, 92 per cent of the time wind was producing more than 8.6 per cent of its installed capacity. So again, AEMO wasn't likely to have been caught by surprise.
Furthermore, while wind output tends to less aligned with demand than solar, AEMO, and the market as a whole, have another ace up its sleeve to avoid being taken by surprise – they can forecast the amount of wind power likely to occur some time in advance.
AEMO's forecasting system has proved to be remarkably accurate. The chart below illustrates that it's degree of error in forecasting wind power output 24 hours ahead (light green line) is less than 6%. This gives both AEMO and generators in the market quite a degree of advance notice as to when wind generation is likely to be low such that they can be prepared to fill the gap.
Source: Australian Energy Market Operator
Also given that almost all fossil and hydro generators across Victoria and SA have ramp-up rates of 200MW or more within an hour, the forecasting system's very fine accuracy within an hour is worth dwelling on.
That chart below shows the system's forecast for SA in the blue line and what actually transpired during the heatwave in the red line. As you can clearly see the forecasts were very accurate, although tending to underestimate actual wind power output.
Source: AEMO data, analysis by Infigen Energy
Now it helps to put this all in perspective by also providing a chart of the output of the Loy Yang A generating unit that went missing during the heatwave. Unit 3 went from producing close to 450 megawatts to producing nothing within the space of minutes right as demand was soaring. This outage was certainly not forecast in advance. But just like the variation in output you expect from wind and solar AEMO is prepared because while they can't precisely predict a power station breakdown, they know it's a reasonable possibility and so they plan around it. When determining how much supply is required to meet peak demand they incorporate a contingency or reserve to cope for an event where the biggest generating unit is lost, which is what unfortunately happened.
Power output from LoyYang A's unit 3 on 14 January
Source: Ketan Joshi - www.etwasluft.blogspot.com.au/
CORRECTION: The initial version of this article incorrectly stated that the chart showing wind power output forecasts versus actuals illustrated the forecast for 24 hours ahead when it was in fact the forecast for an hour ahead.

Let me set the scene:-
You look on EI, find a nice looking lady, call her, get an appointment booked.
Arrive, park up, call her, get instrustions as to where she is, arrive at the door, enter>>>
You have a really nice half hour and after your shower, while you are getting dressed, there's a knock at the door
You look at her, she looks at you
you hear "Garda, please open the door"
When they come in....what do you say? What do you do?
Also, if they stop you after your meeting, on the way back to your car, maybe, what then? Do you tell them a load of S**t or admit you "paid" for sexual services????
