A self-proclaimed recipe title by Pat! By the way, it is a requirement to say this recipe title in your head in a thick Italian accent.
I can think of very few things that were worth eating with the word "surprise" in the title. It's generally not a good sign. However, I can vouch for Pat; that is definitely not the case for this recipe. There's no surprise here, he's just not well versed at naming recipes!
I think of the stupid names of stuff they served us for hot lunch in elementary school. Like, Chicken Ring Things. Really, what part of the chicken is the "thing"? And why are they ring shaped? No. I don't want to know.
Anyway, this is his "go-to" dinner when we can't think of anything else to have, and he's in the mood to cook and I'm not. We usually have all of these ingredients handy at any given time, but it's not a deal breaker if we don't have a red pepper or mushrooms. It's okay, it turns out a little bit different each time because it's not an exact science. But that's why we like it!
(Well, that, and it's hard to screw up!)
½ package ground Italian sausage, mild or hot
Olive oil for sautéing
½ red pepper, sliced
½ onion (any kind besides red), diced
One package baby bella or white button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes, with juice
Basil, oregano, Italian seasoning
Salt, pepper
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
Pasta – farfalle (bowtie) is our favorite
Parmesan or mozzarella on top
Start by browning the Italian sausage in a skillet. If you don't have ground Italian sausage, you can also push the sausage out of casings instead, if you have sausage links.
While you're browning the meat, start another (larger) skillet and sauté the peppers, onions, mushrooms, garlic in some olive oil for about 3-5 minutes.
Add tomatoes with juice in with the veggies. Sometimes here if we have a leftover tomato, we chop it up and add it here. Drain the meat when it's all done browning, and throw it in with the veggies. Let it all simmer for a little bit.
Next, add about ¼ cup cream, ½ cup milk. He isn't sure on the exact amounts to make the sauce. He uses the cream to thicken it up, otherwise it doesn't thicken enough with just milk. I've had it with just milk before and it's totally fine.
Add basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Serve over any kind of pasta. We like whole grain bowties or rotini, because the sauce sticks nicely on it. Quick and easy!
To save a few calories, you can also use chicken Italian sausage- we've become pretty fond of it, actually!

SCA introduces cream and washcloths
SCA introduces cream and washcloths
SCA launched a new line of TENA® Protective Cream and Washcloths in September.
The TENA Skincare system comprises 21 individual products and is organized into three categories based on functionality: "Cleanse (no rinse)," which includes TENA Cleansing Creams, and TENA UltraFlush, Ultra and Classic washcloths, "Cleanse (rinse off)," which includes Body Wash and Shampoo, and "Protect," which includes Protective Cream.
The line is designed to be gentle and effective, and includes a cleansing cream, body wash and shampoo. TENA® Cleansing Cream, which provides specialized preventative skin care for elderly residents, is over 5 times more moisturizing than a leading no-rinse cleanser and 7 times more moisturizing than soap and water, the company said.
The TENA Skincare assortment was re-designed to be more visually appealing and enable quick product recognition to help caregivers address the individual skin needs of elderly patients, the company said.
"Our customers have consistently touted the benefits of TENA skincare products, but we wanted to simplify our approach to product categorization, packaging and formulation to create a total care system that better reflects the needs of professional caregivers and helps them deliver improved skin health for their elderly patients," said Jessica Lan, Skin Care Product Manager, SCA Personal Care North America.

How to solve the center layer of the Rubik's Cube
The picture on the left is what your cube should look like at this point. Now we are going to do the center layer. The top or white part should end up intact after every move from this point forward. If it does not then you have done something wrong.
The first thing to do is find one of the edges that needs to be put in the center layer.
They will be in the bottom layer or in the center layer in the wrong spot. Try to find one on the bottom layer. Now turn the bottom layer until the edge piece you are trying to move is facing you, then do the following move depending on the position of the desired direction, as seen on the images below.
If you could not find any edge piece on the bottom layer then just do the move above and the cubelet that is in the center layer will the be on the bottom.
Now if the cubelet went to the correct place but is backwards then do the move again and then realign as was first stated and do it one more time. Your Rubik's Cube should now look like the picture below. So move on to the bottom layer section.

"A change of underwear is always nice, but I wanted my Advil!"
- Paul Talley
Business travel, Mexican style
Lonely Planet Mexico Travel Guidebook
Actually, I never shut up the whole time. The more I showed the clients, the more they wanted to see. From 9 in the morning until 3:50 in the afternoon I talked non-stop. I was getting anxious about catching my return flight at 5. But the VP of Technology kept reassuring me that his secretary would look after me. Finally, Rodrigo stepped in and said "If Sr. Taylay (ah ha!) is to make his connection to Houston, he must leave now!" Begrudgingly, I was allowed to go and placed in the custody of the secretary.
The secretary, Juanita, was charming. I was beginning to relax. We got in the car where she turned to me and said, "I'm terrible at driving." To prove it, she ground her way into reverse and stalled three times in the parking lot. My heart sank. The ride to the airport involved more near collisions than I would care to remember. All the while, I was subjected to Juanita's life story. It wasn't that I was disinterested, I just wish she had paid more attention to the road... and oncoming traffic.
I arrived in good time, checked in and went to the waiting area. More like a stall. What do you expect from a 2 gate airport? And I waited. And waited. My plane never came. It was delayed, I was told. After 2 hours, I knew I wouldn't make my connection in Monterrey. My migraine was starting up again. At that point Rodrigo showed up for his flight to Monterrey. He was surprised to see me. Thankfully, he latched onto a gate agent and demanded an explanation. The agent rudely informed us that she hadn't the foggiest idea about my flight and that they would fly me out the next day, if there was a seat. Saturday. Someone was trying to dislodge my eyeball with a red-hot poker from inside my skull. Visions of being sucked into the Limpopo pool flashed before my eyes. I guess one look at my troubled expression told Rodrigo how I felt about this. Something akin to a verbal scuffle ensued. Could I not go back on the same flight as Rodrigo? No. That flight was full and if Rodrigo did not board now, the agent would not answer for the consequences.
Rodrigo bade me farewell and left to catch his plane. On the way he accosted another agent and a very expressive exchange of words took place out on the tarmmac. I watched Rodrigo's plane take off. The sun set. I was alone. If I didn't have a wife waiting for me, it would have been a different story. But "She Who Must Be Obeyed" was not going to be happy. My migraine took on new and sinister dimensions. My Advil was in the bag I had checked. I was hot, tired, and hungry. What a mess.
A gate agent approached me, calling me by name. Now what!? Let me guess, my bag is on its way to Monterrey, but I'm staying here. Right? A change of underwear is always nice, but I wanted my Advil! No, this was more serious. I was asked to accompany him out of the waiting area and back into the terminal. To the manager's office.
The manager, Gloria, reminded me of Odd Job from James Bond and had enough gold dental work to open a jewelry store. One of the perks of being a manager? She introduced herself and the other minor officials that had congregated in her far from spacious office. We all shook hands - a very important aspect of social and professional interaction in Mexican society. We all sat down. First came a series of apologies. Then I was asked to surrender my tickets. All of them. These were examined in detail by the entire staff. There was a lot of tut-tutting and tisking. There was much debate, but a consensus seemed to be forming. For a moment I thought I was back in Japan. Finally, Gloria took control. A series of commands were issued to individual members of the staff and they departed to execute them. It was just me and Odd Job. With the aural dentures. Curiously I was less anxious. Whatever was going to happen would happen and there was little else for me to do but accept it. I was offered an assortment of beverages from the manager's personal stock in her small refrigerator.
What has the manager got in store for Paul?

Villa Etoile du Sud is in a tranquil setting of two acres of olive and fruit trees, with stunning views of the village and Maures hills, minutes from the village. If you're looking for somewhere special for family or friends then this is it. Just read the reviews. Beautiful Provencal villages abound, St Tropez and beaches 40-45min, vineyards, golf, watersports, horse-riding, family entertainment - all nearby. Don't miss visiting the Gorge du Verdon about 40 minutes to the north with spectacular views, and outdoor activities from pedaloes on the lake to white water rafting on the river. The villa is 1 hour from Nice airport, 1hr 20 from Marseille and for those lucky enough to fly into the provencal airport at Toulon it's an hour. The pool is 10m a 5m, HEATED from May-Oct with salt water and an electric security cover. The villa is furnished and equipped to a high standard for easy home from home living. It's light and spacious and sleeps 6 people comfortably. A child's z-bed and/or cot are also available as is a high chair. There is Central Heating and duvets if you wish to stay during the cooler months. Throughout the year the skies are invariably blue - it's not called the Cote d'Azur for nothing. We have SKY TV wich includes SKY Sports, a DVD Film Library and plenty of books. There is a Stereo system with CD/Cassette (I-pod compatible) and to keep your valuables safe there is a Wall safe. The phone will accept incoming and outgoing calls and we offer free WiFi. CHANGEOVER IS GENERALLY FRIDAY TO FRIDAY FROM JUNE TO SEPTEMBER. POOL OPENS IN MAY AND HEATED MAY TO OCTOBER
Sports: The famous Gorge du Verdon offers Canyoning, Rafting Kayaking, sailing and swimming and beautiful sightseeing. The close lake of St Cassien also offers watersports. Bicycles, tennis courts and crazy golf available at Figanieres (5km) and we believe there's a new riding establishment about 1km out of the village. There are at least 8 golf courses within an hours drive. The nearest is the beautiful 18 hole course at St Endreol, La Motte (10-15mins). St Endreol also has a Day Spa with Spa Packages from €59. The Terre Blanche at the Four Seasons Hotel at Fayence (approx 25 mins) is stunning and now reportedly one of the best in the Provence/Cote d'Azur area. A keen golfing client recommended Taulane as one of the most beautiful he's ever played and with wonderful restaurant. In winter Downhill Skiing available at Praloup, Isola 2000 and Auron (2hrs drive) or more locally at Greolieres (45mins). Ever been gliding? Try it at Fayence. Callas has it's own Tourist Office.
Medical: Callas has a medical centre and dentist. The doctor speaks some English. A general hospital with Emergency department is at nearby Draguignan (15-20 minutes). Nearest Pharmacies are at Bargemon (5mins drive) and Figanieres (10 mins drive).
Wine: There are hundreds of wine Domaines in the region. You'll pass 6 or 7 just driving from the motorway to the house. In the villa is a book 'The Top 100 Vineyards in Provence' which is just a tiny fraction of what's available or read what other guests have enjoyed in our visitors wine book. Dame Jeanne in the village has an enviable selection. Plenty of sampling on offer. Try the Maison des Vins at Les Arcs which is laid out like a library of wine from only the Provence region. They have at least a dozen wines on tasting.
We live in the UK and both work in TV production. We found this house in 2003. It was unloved but in a fabulous spot with outstanding views and loads of potential to make it a comfortable home from home which is what we lovingly did. Unfortunately we have little time to visit ourselves during the summer so we have chosen to rent to others who would like to experience and explore this beautiful part of France.
Debbie Stratford purchased this villa in 2004
The views, the views, the views. In the height of summer it's away from the crowds of the coast but has so much you can see and do. Don't miss visiting the stunning Gorge du Verdon and Lac St Croix about an hour to the north. Often we and quite a few guests choose not to go anywhere and just stay put! The villa sits in an olive grove of nearly two acres and is not overlooked making it beautifully private but not remote as the village is just a few minutes away. We hope we've thought of everything to make it a home from home. We have numerous guests coming back time and time again so we think we're getting it right. One client returned for the ninth time this summer.
Because we've tried to make it a home from home you hopefully won't think it feels like a rental property lacking this and that but where you can settle right in. Gill our villa manager is English, will meet you on arrival and because she lives locally is a source of information plus she is on hand should you have any little mishaps and need some help.
'A dream holiday home. Such a beautiful setting and such attention to detail. Every comfort provided for.'
'Absolutely wonderful house - a home from home. The internet doesn't do it justice.'
'We loved the villa so much we hardly left for the whole week.'
'Fantastic villa, wonderfully appointed with everything taken care of. Stunning views and what a location.'
'We shall miss the ambience of this delightfully furnished and comfortable home, the sunset and the breakfasts 'en plein air'.'
'The villa is exceptional. Plenty of places to visit, eat and drink. We have already recommended the property to friends and family.'
'The only dampner on the weekend is having to leave.'
In keeping with its celestial name, this place is heavenly - we have just had 11 wonderful days there and loved every minute of it. The villa sits on a hillside overlooking the town of Callas. It is well equipped, very comfortable and offers wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. It is clean and well maintained by Gill, the lovely caretaker. Eating under the mulberry arbour was delightful and late afternoon drinks on the sunny patio became a daily ritual. Being Antipodeans, we made use of the BBQ, purchasing our produce from the local markets- we particularly liked the market in Fayence. The pool is superb - salt-water and heated - it simply entices you to relax, and you can't resist. The village is delightful with a lively and colourful Saturday market. We frequented the friendly local cafe daily for coffee, and ate our pastries there, which we bought from the nearby bakery - just a few minutes walk from the villa. We dined at La Grupie in the village and loved both the food and the friendly service. Callas is a perfect base for exploring local villages, the Riviera and the magnificent Gorges du Verdon. We drove the southern side and took an electric boat ride through the Gorges - utterly amazing, plus we enjoyed the towns of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and Aups. L'Etoile du Sud is definitely a star. Thanks Debbie!
The approach up the track was a little challenging without the clearance of a 4 wheel drive, but the arrival was worth it. The property is well maintained with quality furnishings and outdoor equipment.
4 of us stayed in the house and there was adequate dining ware. A few larger serving/salad bowls would be god if there were more people staying.
If there were to be a niggle, which is not the owner's fault, you cannot walk to the village safely, so we were reliant on the car.
We requested a pool clean during our stay which was promptly dealt with.
Because both the World Cup and Wimbledon were on whilst we were there a new HD TV would be the real icing on the cake!
We would love to go again. It was heavenly.
Lovely house up the hill from the village of Callas. Fabulous pool with plenty of sun loungers, umbrellas and outdoor shower. Great terraces to sit out on, plenty of shade when needed. Three well sized bedrooms, two with en suite. Very well equipped kitchen and very comfy sitting room, with a wood burning stove.
We have had a super week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The village is very quiet but it has a couple of super restaurants and a small supermarket. Lots of vineyards and markets to visit.
Debbie was really helpful with our booking and responded very quickly to any questions we had before our stay. We would recommend staying here, great spot for families. We were a party of five including a 5 and 7 years old, and Nana.
Etoile du Sud was like a comfortable beach house in sunny Provence. Meaning it was peaceful, relaxing and had a lovely outdoors feel with its different terraces and places to sit– a sunny spot for breakfast with views, a shady table under the mulberry trees for lunch, another space with comfortable chairs for an evening apero gazing at the panorama in ever-changing light. We were there in April so too early for the pool and its lounges. The access road was a bit daunting the first couple of times but not a problem after that, and it's quite rutted after winter storms so needed to be taken slowly. The house is clean, well-equipped, the appliances work fine and the furniture and bedding are comfortable. It's conveniently located between two villages – Callas itself and the slightly larger Bargemon – which between them offer a range of eateries and stores for provisions. Clotilde's croissants are superb and getting advice from Dame Jeanne about her wine was fun. Further afield there is plenty to explore. We skipped the Gorges du Verdon having visited them previously, but on this occasion enjoyed the local countryside, e.g. the drive via Chateaudouble to Villecroze (good lunch at La Place in the square) and the beautiful Seillans (highly recommend Chez Hugo, we lunched there twice). Debbie was a great host, patient with all my questions, responsive and prompt in her replies. Gill greeted us on arrival and was most helpful in explaining how things worked. All in all, an excellent holiday in a beautiful part of Provence.
My husband, two children , 11 and 6 and I spent a fantastic week at this stunning villa. Everything about the place was perfect, the heated pool, comfortable loungers with parasols, every sort of outdoor furniture you could want, the outdoor gas BBQ, Sky TV, DVD's, books , 3 bathrooms a fantastically equipped kitchen, where do I stop!! And I haven't even mentioned the view yet...... which is beautiful.
The nearby village of Callas has everything you need, a bakery for bread and croissants, a shop and some lovely restaurants, our favourites being La Fontaine and La Grupie. With the dramatic Gorges du Verdon and the Cote d'Azur only half an hours drive away the location is perfect for exploring.
I would highly recommend a stay at Etoile Du Sud and can't wait to book another holiday there!
Having had such a wonderful time at L'Etoile three years ago, it was with a little trepidation that we approached our one month stay this year. We need not have worried!
Everything was just as we remembered it- the comfortable rooms, the expansive views, the peace and calm and the magnificent pool. We again had some friends join us for a few days at a time -most had been on the previous occasion and were more than happy to rekindle old memories, while those new to L'Etoile were delighted with the amenities of this superb villa.
We found some picturesque new restaurants to visit as well as returning to those we had enjoyed before, and had numerous coffee stops at the many local villages. And, as ever, Gill was available to help out with assistance or advice.
L'Etoile lived up to all our high expectations-it really is a home, not a rental. Next time we go back, there will be no trepidation, only anticipation!
Iain and Liz
Callas is a pretty medieval Provencal village with a grocery, patisserie, post office with 24hr banking, Newsagent, Tourist Office, restaurants, Beauty Salon etc. There's a market in the square every Saturday. Only a 10 min drive is Draguignan, the old capital of the Var, where there is a wider selection of shops and supermarkets. There is a plethora of Vineyards and Olive groves , creating a beautiful contrast against the Azure skies plus wonderful opportunities for some wine and oil tasting. Within 45 minutes you can be in the stylish resorts of St. Tropez, St. Maxime, Antibes or Cannes. The boat trip across the bay from St Maxime to St Tropez is fabulous plus you avoid the traffic jams. There's a choice of sandy beaches, the closest being at St Aygulf or Les Issambres. 45mins North you'll discover the spectacular Gorge du Verdon, one of the most beautiful canyon's in Europe. It leads down to the beautiful Lac de St Croix offering plentiful watersports . There's a variety of golf courses within an hour's drive including the highly rated Terre Blanche. The St Endreol Golf Course with its own Day Spa and a wonderful place for lunch (don't forget to book) is only 15 minutes from the villa. For days out with the children there are Waterparks, Zoos, crazy golf etc. Callas has a playground by the church. Or, hire a bike, take a beautiful walk, or sit and do nothing but drink in the quiet, the views and the wonderful local wines. Etoile du Sud is a special place.
Other Activities: beaches 40 minutes.
Gorge du Verdon: Whitewater rafting, mountain biking, sailing, kayaking, picnics
Golf, Horse-riding, Vineyards, pretty Provencal villages

Besides traditional kart racing, many commercial enterprises offer karts for rent, often called "recreational" or "concession" karts. The tracks can be indoor or outdoor. Karts are rented by sessions (10 to 15 minutes usually), they use sturdy chassis completed with dedicated bodywork providing driver safety. Most of these enterprises use an "Arrive and Drive" format which provide customers with all the safety gear (helmets, gloves and driver outfits) where necessary and allow them to show up any time to race at a reasonable price, without the hassle of owning one's own equipment and gear.
Outdoor tracks can offer low speed karts strictly for amusement (dedicated chassis equipped with low powered 4-stroke engines or electric motors), to faster, more powerful karts similar to a Racing Kart (powered by 4-stroke engines up to 15 hp and more rarely by 2-stroke engines) but designed to be more robust for rental use. Typically, these outdoor tracks may also be used for traditional kart races.

Potlucks can be one of the most fun events that people participate in. Friends and food. What more can you ask for? No, seriously. What more would you like there to be, because so much more can go down at your weekly, bi-weekly, or perhaps monthly potluck. In addition to the food and socializing, some of the following can be happening: board games; video games; book club reading; knitting; watching the "big game"; watching the presidential debate (I would so be there for this!); listening to a speaker; and so much more. And if that wasn't enough, you can also attach a theme to the potluck that can be applied to the food as well as the dress-code and activities.
I was able to head to a potluck this past weekend, but all this writing about potlucks is making me want to find out on Meetup for tonight! Northwest Veg , the group behind Portland VegFest (Oct. 22-23 this year) , puts on 2-3 potlucks a month so the opportunity to attend one is never hard to come across. Lucky me, I know. I actually don't take advantage of these potlucks often, but on Sunday I went to their Portland potluck with a presentation by Dr. Craig McDougall and definitely enjoyed all the food and the educational information that was presented. And when I say, "I enjoyed the food," I really mean it. The pastas, salads, lentil loafs, quinoa dishes, cookies, muffins, and other creative recipes…how can you not enjoy yourself?
There are so many reasons to attend a potluck (and I guess there are equal or more reasons to not attend one, but we'll ignore those) so let's delve into a few of them…
Share your favorite recipe.
Potlucks may or may not be the best place to try out a new recipe. I guess it depends on your confidence and cooking skills! Regardless, they are definitely a great place to share your favorite recipe and the food that recipe leads you to create. The people in attendance may love your dish and may want your recipe so it'd be a great idea to bring copies of your recipe to share with those who may ask you!
Try a new food/recipe.
Just as you may be asked to share your recipe(s), you may love a dish so much that you find yourself seeking out its creator! Potlucks are a great way to try something new (and maybe different) which can be great for giving you ideas and helping you branch out. You may be inclined to gravitate toward the food you know you'll like…the safe food…but push yourself to try at least one or two dishes you normally wouldn't try. You may end up loving your decision!
Meet new people.
This is an obvious one, but it will only happen if you are open to it. Talk to someone in line or start up a conversation with the chef of your favorite new dish at the potluck. Meeting new people doesn't mean you have to become friends with them, but why waste an opportunity to do just that or perhaps expand your network which could benefit you socially and/or professionally.
Introduce people to your favorite snack.
I actually really like this part of potlucks and yes, it's a bit different than following and swapping recipes. Let's face it: we don't always have time to cook a fresh dish let alone find a new recipe. So many things can get in the way of that such as not having the right ingredients, car problems, and, you know, life. Sometimes the best thing we can do to not show up empty-handed is pick up some chips and salsa. We've all done it! But how about instead of picking up the usual, grab your favorite snack that people may not have had before. For me, my favorite snacks that come in a package and would be good to share in a potluck-like setting are Beanfields Bean and Rice chips and Pacific Superfood Snacks kale chips (soon to be Made in Nature). Why Pacific Snacks? Because they simply make the best kale chips on the market. I'm not exaggerating. They are always the first to go whenever I bring them out. And Beanfields..Well they just up the chip game tenfold. With flavors such as Sea Salt, Barbecue, Pico de Gallo, and my favorite Nacho, they are great to enjoy in so many ways. You can dip them in hummus, guacamole, salsa, a bean dip or anything else you can think of. I've also crushed them up and sprinkled them in salads, soup (like what is about to happen in the picture above-left), a hot bowl of quinoa, and a veggie stir fry. Orrr you can just have them straight out of the bag! Whatever you decide to do, just be careful you don't end up eating the whole bag before you even get to the potluck!
Ready to have some Beanfields and King Harvest hummus.
If you are in the Portland area, I highly encourage you to consider coming to a Northwest Veg potluck. There is always some kind of presentation happening so your bound to learn something new and the food that is brought never disappoints. If you are not in the Portland area, you can still find some potlucks. I'm sure a quick Facebook or Meetup search will produce some results, but if they don't or if you aren't interested in that, then start your own potluck. You can invite family, friends, colleagues, and/or even neighbors. It can be a great way to try some new food, meet some new people, get to know some people better, and just have fun! You won't regret giving it a shot.

The runaway victory by Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist advocating nothing less than "political revolution," spelled a deflating if expected defeat for Hillary Clinton, who put a brave face on the loss and admitted she had work to do as the campaign moves south. On the Republican side, Trump's visceral assault on American politics galvanized voters who brought him his debut victory in the fledgling race, keeping him in pole position despite his second-place showing in last week's Iowa caucuses. Ohio Governor John Kasich's uplifting and positive message of renewal catapulted him into second place, a potentially critical result for him as the Republican Party works out which mainstream candidate could successfully challenge the billionaire tycoon Trump.
