"Tagines Et Couscous", Ghillie Basan (Editions Larousse)
Generally, I am someone who likes to get things done fast, because I hate to not put off to tomorrow what can be accomplished now. Yet sometimes, I can be quite a big procrastinator and suspend chores until a later time (next days, weeks or months) instead of taking care of business straight away.
Some months ago (at least 5 months ago), the Editions Larousse gracefully sent me a few of their new releases to review. Being a serious blogger, I carried out my assignement without delay and wrote lengthy posts about most of them. However, one single book was left aside. For some unknown reason and no matter how much I adore the subject it deals with, I never seemed to find the right moment to choose a recipe from it, put an article together, cook the dish and photograph it.
"Procrastination is like masturbation.Here's a confession. I am a perfectionist, I tend to take that task too seriously and put a lot of importance on delivering quality work, hence my refusal to get it done in a sloppy way and to dash the process. I guess that is why it took me ages to get my butt moving. Well, maybe...
At first it feels good, but in the end you're only screwing yourself. "
- Author Unknown
I always promised myself to get the job finished by June as the cookbook contains lots of estival recipes using vegetables such as zucchinis, eggplants, bell peppers or tomatoes (I only buy seasonal and regional produces). Then, the summer holidays came and I felt that it would be waste of time if I blogged about this booklet while nobody is around or when everyone is too busy to read my critique. So, that is how I end up sharing with you my impressions on it only in October. Better later than never...
So, this Friday I have chosen to babble about "Tagines & Couscous" which is Ghillie Basan's smallish (144 pages long), but nonetheless extremely interesting publication which is a fabulous compound of scrumptious Moroccan tagine, coucous and side dish recipes (60 all in all).
Apart from being a restaurant critic and workshop host, this Scottish-based chef is also a cookery and travel journalist/writer whose articles appeared in magazines as well as newspapers (the Sunday Herald, Scotland on Sunday, BBC Good Food Magazine, TasteTurkey as well as Today's Diet and Nutrition) and who has written a number of highly acclaimed books (over 20) about the traditional Middle-Eastern and Southeast Asian cuisines.
Ghillie Basan's book dispenses a wide variety of classic formulas for rich, hearty and aromatic meat (chicken, lamb, beef and duck), fish, seafood and vegetarian tagines (one-pots flavored with fragrant spices, cooked and served in heavy clay vessels called tagines which are generally painted and glazed - tagines are a dish as well as a piece of kitchenware), couscouses, sides (salads, ratatouilles and grilled vegetables), condiments (ras-el-hanout, harissa or preserved lemons) and desserts (melon or orange salads).
Her mouthwatering concoctions are delicious, colorful, spicy and authentic. Thanks to her easy to follow recipes, you'll be able to recreate an Oriental-style feast without trouble and in a matter of minutes as a majority of the casseroles demand less than 40 minutes of preparation. And you don't even need a the real vessel to cook them to perfection. As a mattrer of fact, you'll obtain the same results with a cast-iron pan.
The "Spicy Carrot & Chickpea Tagine" I am presenting today is just marvelously rustic, hearty and pungent. It is a quick, vegetarian, nourishing, versatile and refined cold weather meal that is common to areas of Morocco where meat is considered a luxury. It pairs really well with yoghurt and flatbread (check out my "Batbout M'Khamer" recipe). An excellent mezze item or main course!
The Fairy Hobmother visited me and granted one of my wishes!
How cool is that?!
Many of you might have already heard about The Fairy Hobmother... For those who think that I've lost my marbles, watched too many fantasy films à la "Lords Of The Rings" and read quantities of epic novels, be reassured, everything is ok with me. I have not yet lost all my mental capacities and I am far from having taken any psychedelic drugs. No! I am just talking about someone who works with Appliances Online, an internet store which sells all sorts of home appliances ranging from cookers to washing machines. In his/her free time, he/she visits blogs and distributes out gifts (hand mixers, Amazon gift vouchers, washing machines, etc...) to individuals.
As you might have guessed by now, I am one of those happy few who got a visit from one of those good doers and was kindly offered a 50£ Amazon voucher! You can imagine how huge the grin on my face was when I received an e-mail annoucing me the news. I never would have thought that this could happen to me after visiting Angie's wonderful site. Incredible!
Well, dear readers, you can also be the next lucky one! Just leave a comment under this post, make a wish and cross your fingers. Who knows what will happen? In any case, I am pretty sure the Fairy is listening and is eager to fulfill your dream. Good Luck and many thanks to my kind Fairy Hobmother David!
Adapted from "Tagines & Couscous" by Ghillie Basan.
Serves 2 (as a side dish).
3 Tbs Olive oil
1 Onion, cut into half-moons
2 Cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 Tsp Ground turmeric
1 Tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 Tsp Ground cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Cayenne pepper
1/4 Tsp Freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbs Honey
3 Medium carrots, cut into thick slices (diagonally)
1 Can (400g) Chickpeas, drained
1 Tbs Rosewater
Fine sea salt, to taste
A small bunch cilantro, chopped finely
1/2 of An organic lemon, cut into wedges
1. Heat the oil in a tagine or heavy bottomed pan (cast iron), add the onion and garlic. Saute until soft and slightly browned.
2. Add the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, honey and carrots.
3. Pour in enough water to cover the carrots and cover with a lid. Cook gently for 10-15 minutes.
4. Toss in the chickpeas and check to make sure there's still enough water in the bottom of the tagine/pan, cover, and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
5. Add the rosewater and season with salt.
6. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cilantro over the top.
7. Serve with the lemon wedges
The rosewater is optional, but highly recommended as it adds a very interesting flavor to the tagine.
Serving suggestions:
Serve with a dollop of thick yogurt and some flatbread ("Batbout M'Khamer"). You can also scoop some of that tagine over some rice, couscous or bulgur.
Pour 2 personnes (comme accompagnement).
3 CS d'Huile d'olive
1 Oignon, coupé en demi-lunes
2 Gousses d'ail, hachées finement
1 CC de Curcuma moulu
1 CC de Graines de cumin
1/2 CC de Cannelle moulue
1/4 CC De Poivre de Cayenne
1/4 CC de Poivre noir moulu
1 CS de Miel
3 Carottes moyennes, coupées en tranches épaisses (en diagonal)
1 Boîte (400g) de Pois chiches, égouttés
1 CS d'Eau de rose
Sel de mer, à volonté
1 Petit bouquet de coriandre, haché finement
1/2 Citron bio, coupé en quartiers
1. Faire chauffer l'huile dans un plat à tajine ou une cocotte à fond épais (émail), puis ajouter l'oignon et l'ail et faire revenir jusqu'à tendreté (ils doivent être légèrement dorés).
2. Ajouter le curcuma, le cumin, la cannelle, le poivre de cayenne, le poivre noir, le miel et les carottes.
3. Verser suffisamment d'eau afin de couvrir les carottes et refermer avec le couvercle. Cuire doucement pendant 10-15 minutes.
4. Ajouter les pois chiches et assurez-vous qu'il y ait encore assez d'eau dans le fond du tagine/de la cocotte. Refermer avec le couvercle et laisser cuire encore 5-10 minutes.
5. Ajouter l'eau de rose et assaisonner avec le sel.
6. Retirer le tajine du feu/la cocotte et saupoudrer avec la coriandre.
7. Servir avec les quartiers de citron.
L'ajout d'eau de rose n'est pas obligatoire, mais fortement recommandé car la saveur du plat s'en voit réhaussée.
Idées de présentation:
Servir avec un peu de yaourt épais et du pain plat ("Batbout M'Khamer"). Vous pouvez aussi servir ce tagine sur du riz, du couscous ou du boulghour.

The Denver-bound lanes of U.S. 36 have been re-opened as the Colorado State Patrol is wrapping up its initial investigation into a three-car accident that left one person dead this morning and shut down parts of U.S. 36 for hours.
At around 8 a.m., a Jeep hit the back of a Subaru station wagon while both were headed east on U.S. 36 in the right lane, according to Colorado State Patrol Trooper Nate Reid.
The Jeep lost control and began to flip, ejecting the male driver, who was declared dead on the scene.
The Subaru slammed into the median and was then hit by a second Jeep. The drivers of the Subaru and the second Jeep — both males — were uninjured. There were no passengers in any of the three cars.
The Boulder County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the deceased driver once next of kin have been notified.
The accident initially shut down all lanes of U.S. 36.
The Boulder-bound lanes of U.S. 36 were re-opened at around 9 a.m., but the eastbound lanes remain closed between Table Mesa Drive and the Davidson Mesa until nearly 1 p.m..

The EMD F7 was a 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) Diesel-electric locomotive produced between February 1949 and December 1953 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD) and General Motors Diesel (GMD).
Although originally promoted by EMD as a freight-hauling unit, the F7 was also used in passenger service hauling such trains as the Santa Fe Railway's Super Chief and El Capitan.
The F7 was the fourth model in GM-EMD's successful line of F unit locomotives, and by far the best-selling cab unit of all time. In fact, more F7's were built than all other F units combined. It succeeded the F3 model in GM-EMD's F unit sequence, and was replaced in turn by the F9. Final assembly was at GM-EMD's La Grange, Illinois plant or GMD's London, Ontario facility.
The F7 differed from the F3, primarily in internal equipment (mostly electrical) and some external features. Its continuous tractive effort rating was 20% higher (e.g. 40,000 lb (18,000 kg) for an F7 with 65 mph (105 km/h) gearing, compared to 32,500 lb (14,700 kg) for an F3 with the same gearing.

thoughts on being a mom (someday)
Will I be a fun mom? I want to take my kids on adventures. I want to really play with my kids. Will I be a good example to my kids? I want to teach them right from wrong. I want them to learn to be honest through my examples. I don't want my kids to think it's ok to swear, because I swear. (I actually don't curse, but sometimes it just slips out, you know? And sometimes it's really funny yet horrifying to hear a child repeat it...) Will I be a patient mom?
What will my kids be like? Even the best kids in the world have their moments.... But will they be happy and active? Or mopey and lazy? I want my kids to be very involved in playing with each other, playing sports, playing instruments, etc. But will they be interested? Will they thank me for the meals I cook them, the laundry that is washed, etc? If they are anything like me, it will happen before and after teenage years ha!
When my kids thank me for dinner, will I smile and say "you're welcome"? Or will I nag at them to hurry up and clean up the dishes? When my kid poops his pants, will I laugh and make the best of the situation? Or will I cry and scold my child? (This totally happened while babysitting, thank goodness Gentri was there and I was able to laugh instead of cry! But that's a story for another time... if you want to know more just ask!) When it's time to teach my children how to read, will I snap at them because they can't remember how to read a simple word? Or will I be patient and understanding, and help them to learn to love reading? When my kid needs to confide in me, will I point out all the wrong they are doing in the situation and make my kid feel like they can't talk to me? Or will I listen and point my kid in the right direction and be someone they can confide in?
Will I love my babies as much as they need to be loved? Will I be a good mom? I believe that being a mama is the most important role I will ever have in this world! I want to do it right. It is scary to think of all my imperfections... will those affect my abilities to be an awesome mom? I guess I'll find out someday... and until then? I can't wait to have a mini Eric or Courtney :)

I think about that a lot too! It's hard to imagine what life will be like when that time comes because it will be SO different than life is now!
I think the fact that we think about it and are worried about it means that we'll do okay ;) I hope so at least! - February 28, 2012 at 7:31 AM
- Cami said...
Aww you are so adorable. You will be an amazing, patient, loving mom because you want to be!! <3
I think about this, too...sometimes it scares me...but then I realize that if it's meant to be - it will - and the rest will follow.
Hugs :) - February 28, 2012 at 7:33 AM
I totally get where you are coming from with those thoughts... because I have them too! I guess especially because I know that the idea of parenthood is closer now as an adult than when I was a teen! I just know that I may not be the perfect parent but I will be the best one I can be and will love my children with all my heart :)

I worry about all these same things! I have no doubt that you will be an amazing mom. Just the fact that you have these worries shows how much you will care. I know some pretty bad moms sadly, and you are nothing like them. Who knows, someday maybe we'll get to have a playdate!

I think about this stuff a lot too! I'm curious to what kind of personalities our kids will have especially.
I want to know this poop story! haha - February 28, 2012 at 7:56 AM
I think about these things often too. I guess in my mind I think that children are a result of how they are raised. And that they get a pretty good combo of the likes and dislikes of each of you.
And also, who doesn't love a good poop story? :) - February 28, 2012 at 8:10 AM
- jes @ twosmuppies said...
i wonder about these things myself too but i think that when that time comes, all our answers will be answered for us (at 2am, at 4am, and at 6am) :)

You'll be a great mom someday! I find myself thinking these things all the time too - I'm so worried that I won't be "good" at it. But when it happens for you you'll just know what to do:)

I think about all of these things, alot, especially lately!! I/We are not fully ready for kids yet, but I am becoming more at ease with the idea, even though it still scares me! You will be a great mother!

- Cory and Kylee said...
You will be a great mom! I hope one day to be able to have that title.Like you said its the most important role we will have and I really truly pray that I will be able to fill that roll. Its such a unselfish thing to want. The feelings when you strive to be a mother over come the fears. I guess for me. Dont get me wrong I do have the same fears.. Will I be the mother they need me to be? Will I have the patients with them (cause i dont have any now) but all that kind of is sitting in the back right now and all the little things I can think of right now... is when they fist smile and laugh to when they take their first step to when they bring their homework home and I have no idea what it means.(thank goodness for google) :) You will be a great mom and you will be so kind and loving just the way you are with everyone who comes around you!

I think about this stuff all the time too! Especially after I've held a new baby cousin, or babysat for friends. We'll never know how to parent until we actually ARE parents-- and even then, I definitely think it's a learn as you go :) You'll be a great momma one day!!

oh my i loved this post and i'll tell you why so many times i hear the exact situations your speaking of. but you know when i see the negative ? is with people that are to young to have children or are just not ready.. they have to adapt.. I think parents are the most happy when they ARE ready.. not made to be ready.. thats just my opinion... you'll be a great mommy "someday"
- February 28, 2012 at 8:47 AM
- Natalie said...
You will be a great mommy someday! I'm still not sure what kind of mom I am. I do know that I am more patient than I thought I'd be and that I love my son so much, it is on a level I never knew existed. I also know I am not as selfish as I thought I was, I have given up everything for him and I am completely ok with that.
- February 28, 2012 at 8:52 AM
- Keri said...
You will love your kids and you will be their mama...because God will give them to you. :)
You WILL give your kids baggage...you're human and so are they. (This is something I've been coming to terms with lately and it's a hard pill to swallow but being honest about it helps me remember relationship is what matters)
You WILL snap at them when you shouldn't, you may NOT play with them as often as the image in your mind thinks you should, and I can promise you it will go NOTHING like you may be "planning" right now.
But the fact that you are taking the time to ask the questions you are asking now, and thinking about parenting the way you are before you even have children, speaks volumes for the kind of mama you will be. You will love them and they will love you.
Parenting is the HARDEST job but the MOST rewarding and fulfilling. - February 28, 2012 at 9:06 AM
- Melanie said...
I KNOW you will be a FABulous mommy, & Eric will be a wonderful Dad! You guys together will be one bad ace (see I don't swear either, just like to make up "Mel words!").... bad ACE team! We all have trying moments as mothers, but at the end of the day if you have a beautiful, happy, healthy baby, that loves & respects you, everything else will fall into place! Believe me though my friend, you will have days where you find a string of a spaghetti noodle in YO hair! The really bad part about it will be that you had that for dinner 2 nights ago! True story! Hahaahaa....! Really though, being a mommy has never filled my heart w/ SO much love. It really is just the best darn amazing gift there is! I'm gonna shut up now! Love you sweet friend! Xo ~The End~

I can't wait until you have a mini Courtney or Eric either! ;)
This is a great post!
You will be an amazing mommy, I just know it! Perfect? No way! None of us are and trust me, you don't want to try to be! The most humbling experience you will ever have as a parent is the moment you have to apologize to your six year old for you losing your temper unnecessarily! (TRUST ME, I know! :)) But it makes you want to be a better parent, each time you "fail". You'll do your best, your child/children will love you and respect you, and that's all that matters! :) - February 28, 2012 at 9:22 AM

It is great for you to think about this before you become a mother. If you are already thinking this then you are on the right track and will be an awesome mother! I love to take my little boy on adventures! Some people say "when you have kids you can't do that anymore". Well, nothing has stopped us yet! We offroad and he has too since he was less than a year old! It sounds like you have a great mindset to become a fantastic mother!

I think about this stuff all the time. It's sort of terrifying to me because, ya know, we're molding these little human beings into the adults that they will one day become, and that's a lot of frickin' pressure. I'm hoping that I can learn some patience before our mini-mes come along... because I'm not gonna lie - I don't have much of that. :)

i already know you'll be a wonderful mom. you have so much love to give :)
it's scary to think that we are their #1 teachers. they are watching us constantly, and i do flub up sometimes...eek! and there are also things that are out of our control, but if we give them a good foundation, love and support them unconditionally, chances are they will be able to handle whatever life throws at them.

You will be a great mom. Like others have said, the fact that you ponder about it often and hope to be a good one says a lot. I actually don't like kids very much, so I was terrified when I was pregnant that I would be a terrible mom and not like my children!!!! haha. I can't stress this point enough: It really IS different when they're YOURS (regardless of how they become yours) When they're yours, you will love them more than you could have ever imagined. And that will affect everything you do for them.

you'll be a great mother! its amazing how easily some parts come, how difficult others are...but it really is all worth it! my mom always said "if at the end of the day everyone is breathing, you did a good job" sometimes we set crazy high expectations only to set ourselves up for guilt and disappointment, luckily kids are forgiving, and easy to please most days :)

I think you managed to compose the thoughts that go through all of our heads! I want to be a mom so badly someday, but I'm terrified that I will be an awful one! My mom was so patient and understanding. We were her entire world, and she was incredibly selfless.
I have learned, through helping raise my nephew, that I have a crazy amount of patience with him that I usually don't have with most things. I also am the only one who can calm him down when he gets upset. I just have him pick a storybook, and I tell him that by the time we are finished reading it, that he can't be crying anymore, or it's bedtime/naptime. It works every time.
You will be a wonderful mom. I have no doubt about it. :) - February 28, 2012 at 2:36 PM

I think about a lot of these things too being a teacher and ALWAYS with kids. Whenever I see a mom with a crazy kid at the grocery store I wonder how I would react. Oh and I love your blog's new look. :)

Girl everyone has imperfections. Nobody is perfect. Being a mother really does come naturally to most. I got pregnant SO young but it ended up working out amazing for me. I have no regrets and I'm very happy to be a mom to the most awesome 8 year old boy!

I also worry so much that I wont be able to have children. I know so many women who suffer from this daily and it scares me to no end. - February 28, 2012 at 3:30 PM

You speak the truth! I thing about this all the time. My husband and I feel we are not ready for that step yet but we talk about the things we'll do and teach them and we finally have kids!
Also, thanks for stopping by my blog! I love that your brother went to Chile and hopefully he liked it! I love it and it is such an amazing place. I hope his mission went well! - February 28, 2012 at 4:18 PM

Awe sweetie..the 40 other commenters before me all said it perfectly...you are going to be an amazing mom! I can just tell! You have a heart of gold, and you guys will have the absolute best kids! (They'll be good looking too!) No one is the perfect mother, but you are so loving and thoughtful and that will go far in your kids' lives. Don't rush it...wait till you are ready, but when you do, be prepared for the most amazing time of your life! With the awesome and strong relationship that you and Eric have, you will have nothing but great love in your house for your kids! :-)

Oh my gosh I love this post!! I want to be a mom so bad and am ready (first I need to get married, hehe) but I've never sat and thought about each of the things you mentioned in detail. I really like this, you've made me think about these things now too.

Thanks for following my blog! I just started it a month ago, so I'm still new to this blogging business and I LOVE when new people visit :)
Plus, I'm so glad you did so that I could find your site! I love the design. And I know the feeling, wondering about what kind of mom you'll be and what your kids will be like. My husband and I are still too young to be bringing babies into the world (we're still just enjoying being newlyweds and new college grads!), but in my mind I'm planning for the future always :)

Okay, first of all, I thought I pressed "follow" to you a LONG time ago. LAME.
Second, i love your outfit. Especially your shirt!
And most importantly, I'm sure you're going to be an AMAZING mother someday. You WILL do it right. AND, your kids will be super cute ;) - February 28, 2012 at 11:57 PM

I wonder when you stop having those thoughts. I'm sure my mom still wonders about "raising" my brother and I and we're fully grown!
- February 29, 2012 at 4:01 AM
I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS POST!! I have always been around children and can't wait until I have children of my own rather than always just taking care of other peoples children. I hope I am a good mother mostly I hope I teach my children to love God first and foremost. As for your poop in the pants story when I nannied triplets the little girl did that in Michaels and they were at the age where I didn't carry extra clothes anymore so I had to carry her out naked. Oh the joy of children!!

I really like this post, I'm glad to read I'm not the only person who thinks about what kind of mother they will be, and whether they'll be any good at it. :)

This is SUCH a great post!
My hubby and I are trying to make our final decision about kids, but I have the same aniousness about raising children and seriously doubt myself most of the time.
One thing is for sure, kids are defnitely a life changer! - March 1, 2012 at 9:59 PM
- Crazy Shenanigans-JMO said...
I totally love the idea of having kids and then when I really start to think about it, I always wonder am I already too settled into how I like things and my life. I get very anxious when I think about everything and how life would completely change.

Being a mom really is stressful worrying about all the things you need to be doing right & all the examples you want to be setting. But I think the most important thing is that you try your very best & love those kiddies with all your heart...which is crazy hard not to when they are your very own:)

oh my gosh haha i saw these pictures and i was like "i was just at that pond, too!" but now im thinking it's a different pond. but it's definitely in st george. do you live there?
and about this post...i always think the same thing! i think really though when it comes down to it, of course you'll be a good mom! that's what i tell myself. nobody's perfect and EVERYBODY will have their moments, both you and your kids. but as long as you love your kids and you're always striving to do your best, and to show them that you love them, you will be a good mom.
i've learned this from seeing my parents', my older sister's, and my fiance's siblings' experiences with their kids. - March 19, 2012 at 2:11 PM

After the massive Hybrid XFB article that hit late November, we at the blog staff went into a bit of a hibernation. But after a short holiday break, we're back and ready for more. Before we get to the rest of November and December's changes, make sure you check out the absolutely massive Hybrid XFB article and the accompanying video.
With both Ubershaders, Hybrid XFB, and many of the other targeted features for the next release merged, a lot of users have started wondering when our next release will be announced. The answer to that is not soon. With these huge changes have come a lot of frustrating and annoying regressions that can't easily be solved without a lot of work. If we enter a feature freeze to work on those regressions, we'd be stagnating Dolphin and delaying the other large new features that are still being worked on without any guarantee that the regressions will be sorted out.
So for now, the plan is to just keep moving and wait for a better opportunity to start the release process.

Thanks For The Memories
On December 1, 2013, VoiceQuilt will close.
It's been an amazing journey. We've collected 400,000 voice message toasts and memories that have been delivered as gifts, touching thousands of lives. Along the way, we've received endorsements from the TODAY Show, CNN and, even, President Obama.
We're proud of the work we've done, delivering thank you messages to U.S. troops and "I love you" messages to people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions. Most of all, we're touched and inspired by the thoughtfulness of VoiceQuilt gift givers.
It's been a great journey. However, it's time for us to move on. Before December 1, 2013, anyone who has ever created a VoiceQuilt can download their voice messages for FREE. After then, VoiceQuilt will no longer be available.
Why is VoiceQuilt closing?
We've helped thousands of customers create unique, memorable gifts. However, our business model isn't sustainable.
Someday, gift givers will customize keepsakes by clicking a button that streams voice messages (and maybe even video) instantly. We're just not there yet. Technology costs are still too high.
When is VoiceQuit closing?
VoiceQuilt is closing December 1, 2013. We urge all customers to download their voice messages for free before then.
What happens to my voice messages after VoiceQuilt closes?
After VoiceQuilt closes December 1, 2013, voice messages will no longer be available.
Can I order a VoiceQuilt Keepsake Gift?
Certainly! Just log in and click "Finalize Your Playlist and Check Out". A screen will appear where you make your Keepsake selection. We will ship your VoiceQuilt Keepsake via UPS no later than the next business day.
Last Day to order is Saturday, November 30, 2013.
How do I download my VoiceQuilt?
It's easy. Just follow the instructions for downloading VoiceQuilt messages as a single file – or as individual mp3 files below.
Many VoiceQuilt gift givers want to download their VoiceQuilts. There are two ways to do this: download the entire VoiceQuilt MP3 (similar to a podcast); or download each VoiceQuilt message as an individual MP3 file.
To download the entire VoiceQuilt as a single MP3, simply log into your VoiceQuilt
1) Click "GO" to the right of "I want to order a Keepsake for a completed VoiceQuilt project"
2) On the next screen, click on the lower right button, "Instant Delivery";
3) Select "VoiceQuilt Download"
Your VoiceQuilt will appear as a single MP3 file, MyVoiceQuilt.mp3, in your default download location.
If you'd like to download each of the voice messages individually, that's easy, too. Once a voice message appears in your VoiceQuilt Message Center, you can click on the "download" icon to the right of the message to download that MP3 for free to your computer. You can also share your VoiceQuilt by email at any time for no additional charge. Your email recipient can click on a sharing link that takes them to VoiceQuilt's Sharing Center. There, the entire VoiceQuilt can be downloaded as a single MP3 file or each voice message MP3 can be downloaded individually.
Downloading VoiceQuilt messages is handy if you're in rush. Many gift givers burn their own CD of VoiceQuilt messages and play it on the way to a family celebration. Others download the voice messages and use them as the soundtrack for a photo show or video montage.
In short, you're in control. Our goal to make it easy for families to celebrate loved ones with voice message toasts and memories. How you share and enjoy those precious voices is up to you!
How do I move messages into my VoiceQuilt?
The next steps to create your VoiceQuilt are:
- click on the Play button (triangle) to the left of each recording
- click the GREEN PLUS (+) to the right of a recording to move it into the VoiceQuilt
- arrange the messages in order – using the up/down arrows or the "Position" box next to the message
- click on the green "Description" field to re-label the messages.
(This label will identify the track and will appear on the notecard)
Once you get all the messages just the way you want them – in order, re-labeled – click "Finalize Playlist and Check Out". A screen will appear where you make your Keepsake selection.
We will ship your VoiceQuilt Keepsake via UPS no later than the next business day.
Last Day to order is Saturday, November 30, 2013.
How do I email my VoiceQuilt?
To email your VoiceQuilt, you can log back into your VoiceQuilt:
1) Click on "GO" to the right of "I want to order a Keepsake for a completed VoiceQuilt project"
2) On the next screen, click on the lower right "Instant Delivery";
3) Select "VoiceQuilt Email Delivery" then "Continue"
4) Enter the email address and then customize the body of the email.
5) Click "Share VoiceQuilt"
Can friends call in from outside the US?
The toll-free number for the VoiceQuilt message system can only be reached by calls originating within the United States and Canada. However, we provide several options for overseas callers.
Our system can be reached by international direct dial at:
+1 407 965 3649
Any applicable long-distance charges will be assessed by the caller's local telephone provider.
We can also be reached from anywhere in the world by Voice over IP (VoIP) using Skype or a SIP client such as Gizmo. Here are the dialing instructions for each of these programs:
Skype: +99000936 9990027472
SIP: sip:email@example.com
How do I invite friends to record a message?
Contributing to the VoiceQuilt is easy — just follow these four steps:
1) Call 1-877-OurQuilt (1-877-687-7845).
2) When asked for your invitation number, enter xxxxxx (to be assigned)
3) Record your message, just as if talking to an answering machine.
4) Press # to hear more options or just hang up.
(You can click on "Manage Invitations and Reminders" to print the above instructions.)
Please note that when you use VoiceQuilt's invitation system, each unique email address will be assigned a unique Invitation Number.
How do I remind friends to record a voice message?
You can click on "Manage Invitations…" then right-click the "To" button and highlight "Invitees that have not called". This will populate the "To" box with the email addresses of the folks who have not yet recorded a message.
When will my VoiceQuilt ship?
Once you get all the messages just the way you want them – in order, re-labeled – click "Finalize Playlist and Check Out". A screen will appear where you make your Keepsake selection.
We ship quickly. Order a VoiceQuilt keepsake gift before 11:59PM (ET) on any day and we'll ship it on the next Business Day – to any location in the U.S. (If you order by Sunday 11:59PM Eastern we will ship on Monday.) You can choose Ground, 3rd Business Day, 2nd Business Day, or Next Business Day delivery, depending upon how quickly you need to receive your VoiceQuilt Keepsake Gift. (Express shipping options are much more expensive than UPS Ground)
The map below shows normal UPS Ground Delivery time in Business Days. Please be sure to add one extra business day for your VoiceQuilt to be created. For example, if UPS delivers in two business days, if you order on a Sunday, we will create and ship on Monday, UPS will deliver by end of day Wednesday.
Note: Saturday is NOT a Business Day.
Last Day to order is Saturday, November 30, 2013.

I'm a doctor. We get all the glory. And credit. And guess what? We only deserve part of it.
I started out in medicine in the mid-80's, volunteering at an ER. And the biggest shock to me was learning how much of what happens in a hospital is nurse territory. Us doctors will see you from 5-30 minutes a day (30 is A LOT), depending on how sick you are. And the rest is the nurses.
They come in all shapes, colors, and sexes. Yes, there are a few idiots out there, that I take shots at in this blog. And there are idiot doctors, too. Idiots are in all fields, but the majority of nurses are damn good.
They're the ones making sure you get your pills, checking that your vital signs aren't dropping (and doing what they can to save your ass initially if they are, of which calling a doctor is only one part). They make sure you don't fall down and break something. If you start barfing, us doctors will run out of the room and the nurses will rush in. They change your wound dressings and start your IV line. They'll bring you a warm blanket. And clean disgusting things off you. Even if you're drunk. Or delerious. Or mean. And through all of this they try be friendly and positive. Even though you aren't their only sick patient.
I respect nurses A LOT. I learned early on that they're key to being a good doctor. You piss off the nursing staff, and you'll have a miserable career at that hospital. Respect and treat them well, and you'll never regret it. They're as important to being a good doctor as your medical degree. Maybe more.
If you come out of medical school with a chip on your shoulder against nurses, you better lose it fast. Because they will make or break your training, and often know more than you do. Be nice and they'll teach you. A good neuro nurse is often a better inpatient neurologist than some doctors I've met.
I remember a guy named Steve, who was an intern with me a long time ago. He had his head up his ass about being a doctor, and saw nurses as lesser scum. We were only a few months out of med school, and as we were writing chart notes one morning a nurse came over and asked if he'd go listen to his patient's heart. With icy contempt, and not even looking up from the chart, he said "I don't have to listen to his heart, because I looked at his EKG." They ain't the same thing, dude. If he'd listened he might have noticed that the patient had developed a loud murmer in the last 24 hours. When the attending caught it a few hours later, Steve got his ass chewed out. If he'd taken the nurse's advice, and listened, he wouldn't have gotten reprimanded by the residency board.
I talk about my Bible a great deal in this blog. Here's a quote from it: "Working with a good nurse is one of the great joys of being a doctor. I cannot understand physicians who adopt an adversarial relationship with nurses. They are depriving themselves of an education in hospital wisdom."
Those doctors are also depriving themselves of friends. On a shitty day on call, sometimes all it takes is a sympathetic nurse to temporarily add you to her patient list, steal you a Diet Coke from the fridge, and let you cry on her shoulder for 5 minutes. It doesn't make the day any less busy, but helps you absorb the punishment better.
What got me started on this?
While I was rounding this weekend, a grateful patient's family brought the ICU nurses a box of donuts, and so the staff was picking through them. One said "Oh, this kind is my favorite, it has cream filling."
And some pig in one of the rooms yelled "Hey, babe, I got my own kind of cream-filled dessert in here! Come have a taste!"
You say that to a waitress, and you'd likely get your ass kicked out of the restaurant.
You say that to a co-worker, and you'd be fired and/or sued for harassment.
You say that to a lady in a bar, and you'll likely get a black eye.
And what did the nurse do? In spite of the fact that the guy was obviously a detestable jackass, she went in his room, turned off his beeping IV pump, and calmly told him that he would not talk to her that way.
And I admire the hell out of that.
Nursing is a damn tough job. And the people who do it are tougher. And somehow still remain saints.
While this post isn't about them, there are a lot of other unsung heroes who are part of the hospital team- pharmacists, social workers, nursing assistants, EMT's, respiratory therapists, X-ray techs, lab techs, physical/occupational/speech therapists, housekeeping staff. And many more.

Robert Louis Stevenson
Born on November 13, 1850, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson came from a long line of prominent lighthouse engineers. During his boyhood, he spent holidays with his maternal grandfather, a minister and professor of moral philosophy who shared his love of sermons and storytelling with him. Prone to illness, Stevenson spent many of his early winters in bed, entertained only by his imagination and a great love of reading, especially William Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott, John Bunyan and The Arabian Nights.
Encouraged to follow the family tradition of lighthouse engineering, Stevenson began studies at the University of Edinburgh in 1867, but quickly discovered he preferred a career in literature. To satisfy his father, he acquired a law degree and was admitted to the bar by the time he was twenty-five.
Stevenson spent the next four years traveling through Europe, mostly around Paris, publishing essays and articles about his travels. In 1876, he met Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne, a married woman ten years his senior. When she decided to return to San Francisco soon after they met, Stevenson followed, taking the long voyage across the Atlantic and the United States against the advice of his friends and physician. To add to his adventure and inform his writing, he chose to travel in steerage and was near death when he arrived in Monterey, California, in 1879. After being nursed back to health, he continued to San Francisco that winter, though it cost him his health. Osbourne, who had since been divorced, helped him recover. They married the following May.
After several months in the U.S. with his wife and her young son, Stevenson brought his new family back to Britain. Frequently sick, he continued to write seriously, producing the bulk of his best-loved work. His first successful novel, Treasure Island was published in 1884, followed by A Child's Garden of Verses in 1885, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 1886.
A representative of Neo-Romanticism during the Modernist period of English literature, Stevenson was an incredibly popular and successful writer. Though many leading critics dismissed his work entirely, he was admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov, and J. M. Barrie. He was also friends with Henry James, who was a vocal supporter his work.
Following the death of his father in 1887, Stevenson left again for the U.S. with his family, planning a move to Colorado. Upon landing in New York, however, they decided to spend the winter at Saranac Lake, in the Adirondacks. That summer he chartered a yacht and sailed through eastern and central Pacific, stopping for extended stays among the Hawaiian Islands. In 1890, Stevenson purchased a four hundred-acre estate in Upolu, one of the Samoan islands. He adopted the native name Tusitala (Samoan for "Story Writer") and soon became immersed in local politics.
By 1894, Stevenson had become increasingly depressed, convinced the best of his work was behind him. He wrote that he wished his illnesses would kill him. On the evening of December 3, 1894, he collapsed, possibly due to a cerebral hemorrhage, and died. He is entombed at Mt. Vaea, at a spot overlooking the sea, with a tablet on which his poem "Requiem" is inscribed.
Due in part to the rise of the modernist aesthetic, Stevenson's work fell out of favor. Criticized by figures such as Virginia Woolf, he was soon remembered only as a contributor to children's literature. For most of the twentieth century, he was excluded from the Oxford and Norton anthologies of literature entirely, though he is now included. According to an index of translated authors kept by UNESCO, Stevenson is ranked the twenty-fifth most translated author in the world, ahead of fellow Victorians Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, and Edgar Allan Poe.

I took these 3 desserts to Barbara Bleu. The trip was too much for these fragile beauties.Here's a lovely example of red and green harmony from Pierre Herme.
c'est la vie
Quelle idiot moi!
I know why French women snack on Pierre Herme's fabulous desserts in the street.
Live and learn.
It would be wise to reserve a hotel close to your favorite patisserie. Hotel Bonaparte is exactly across from Pierre Herme.

Collection<T>.GetEnumerator Method
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it's released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Returns an enumerator that iterates through the Collection<T>.
virtual System::Collections::Generic::IEnumerator<T> ^ GetEnumerator();
public System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator ();
abstract member GetEnumerator : unit -> System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<'T>
override this.GetEnumerator : unit -> System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerator<'T>
Public Function GetEnumerator () As IEnumerator(Of T)
An IEnumerator<T> for the Collection<T>.
The foreach
statement of the C# language (for each
in C++, For Each
in Visual Basic) hides the complexity of the enumerators. Therefore, using foreach
is recommended, instead of directly manipulating the enumerator.
Enumerators can be used to read the data in the collection, but they cannot be used to modify the underlying collection.
Initially, the enumerator is positioned before the first element in the collection. At this position, Current is undefined. Therefore, you must call MoveNext to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before reading the value of Current.
Current returns the same object until MoveNext is called. MoveNext sets Current to the next element.
If MoveNext passes the end of the collection, the enumerator is positioned after the last element in the collection and MoveNext returns false
. When the enumerator is at this position, subsequent calls to MoveNext also return false
. If the last call to MoveNext returned false
, Current is undefined. You cannot set Current to the first element of the collection again; you must create a new enumerator instance instead.
An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably invalidated and its behavior is undefined.
The enumerator does not have exclusive access to the collection; therefore, enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization.
Default implementations of collections in System.Collections.Generic are not synchronized.
This method is an O(1) operation.

While I was enjoying a lime meltaway I was vaguely reminded of another cookie that was similar but it was an orange cookies. After diligently searching through my many bookmarked cookie recipes I finally found this recipe for orange cookies dipped in chocolate on use real butter . These cookies get their orange flavour from no less than three different sources including orange zest, orange juice and candied orange peel. When you take these already great sounding cookies and you dip them in chocolate they get even better and I could not resist adding them to this years holiday cookie platter. The recipe for these cookies is pretty similar to many other recipes for short bread where you mix the ingredients, chill the dough and then slice and bake it. Despite that fact that they take a bit of time with bringing the butter to room temperature and then chilling the dough, these cookies are really easy to make. The orange flavour certainly comes though well in these cookies and the bits of candied orange peel add a particularly nice texture. There is just something magical about the orange and chocolate flavour combination and it certainly works well with there cookies!
Orange Cookies Dipped in Chocolate
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup candied orange peel (chopped)
- 1 orange (zest)
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (chopped)
- Cream the butter and the sugar.
- Mix the flour and the salt.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until it starts forming larger clumps.
- Mix in the candied orange, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla extract.
- Form the dough into the shape that you want, wrap it in plastic and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour. (I did a rectangular log but you could also do a circular log.)
- Cut the log into 1/4 inch thick slices and place on a parchment lines baking pan with one inch of space between them.
- Bake in a preheated 325F/170C oven until they just start to turn lightly golden brown on top, about 15-20 minutes.

Everything, All At Once, Forever
Brooklyn-based contemporary artist Aurora Robson uses everyday waste such as discarded plastic bottles, plastic bags, bottle caps and other forms of debris that she carves, cuts and twists into intricate and brilliantly colored hanging sculptures reminiscent of marine life. Deeply concerned with the natural environment, Robson creates art that draws attention to the pervasive presence of environmental pollutants in our waterways. She addresses these urgent issues however poetically rather than polemically. Inspired by the nightmares she had as a child, Robson transforms the ugly, negative and dark – her nightmares and trash – into things of beauty and light. Throughout her work, Robson attempts to maintain a degree of ambiguity with the hope that her works become vehicles for self-reflection.
Everything, All At Once, Forever is an installation of new plastic debris sculptures created specifically for exhibition at the Figge. These new individual pieces will complement Up Drop, a work borrowed from the Gallery 212 in Colorado to complement the exhibition Water Views. Unlike most of Robson's sculptural work to date, the individual sculptures in Everything, All At Once, Forever will be comprised of individual components that are not repeated but unique.
Read a statement from the artist.
Learn more about the works in the exhibition.
This exhibition will be on view through January 15, 2012.

"New Frontiers in the European Automated Microbiology Markets: Business Challenges, Emerging Technologies, Competitive Landscape" is Venture Planning Group's new five-country strategic analysis of the major business opportunities emerging in the automated microbiology market during the next five years. The report examines key trends in major European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK); reviews current and emerging assays; analyzes potential applications of innovative diagnostic technologies; forecasts volume and sales for molecular diagnostic, microbial identification, antibiotic susceptibility, blood culture, urine screening and immunodiagnostic procedures, as well as over 100 infectious disease tests by assay, application, market segment, and country; profiles leading players and potential market entrants; and suggests alternative business expansion strategies for suppliers.
To order sections of this report or specific data on geographic regions, countries, markets, companies, technologies or products, select the information of interest to you from our Microbiology Testing Database.
The level of automation in the microbiology laboratory has been lagging behind that of other major clinical laboratory segments, such as chemistry and hematology. The slow acceptance of the technology is in part due to the complexity of developing automation suitable for microbiology tests.
The introduction of automated microbiology instrumentation has been delayed by a number of intrinsic and technical problems. The diffusion of automated microbiology systems, once the technology was developed, has not matched that of other automated laboratory technologies. The acquisition of automation in microbiology has been slowed by forces less easily identifiable than the effects of various reimbursement plans. Some laboratorians still believe that current instrumentation is not the ultimate technology and expect better automation on the horizon.
The driving force behind the need for rapid reporting of microbiological test results is the clinical relevance in a time of financial austerity, a time when cost and health care effectiveness to the patient and diagnostician looms ever larger, and where after-the-fact results at high expense are coming under severe scrutiny worldwide.
This comprehensive five-country report will assist diagnostics industry executives, as well as companies planning to diversify into the dynamic and rapidly expanding microbiology market, in evaluating emerging opportunities and developing effective business strategies.

As he walked up the steps and back into the Capitol today following his inaugural address, President Obama paused and turned around to look back.
"I want to take a look," he could be heard saying, because "I'm not going to see this again."
And for nearly 20 seconds, as Vice President Biden, members of Congress and others passed by, the president of the United States stood in place; looking back.
It was a sight — the hundreds of thousands of people on the National Mall — that only presidents can appreciate in the way Obama seemed to be. The C-SPAN video, posted here by TPM, captures the unique moment.

But first...
That goddamn fringe.
Jessica Biel was in Berlin yesterday promoting Total Recall at the press event and the premiere. Fashion-wise both choices are disappointments. That silky crop top makes her tits all wobbly in the daytime outfit and what kind of proper celebrity wears a tiered skirt in 2012? You know who still wears tiered skirts? Mischa Barton.
The advantage here though is that she had her fringe pushed up. And it brightens up her entire face. She has such a beautiful face. When you can see all of it, it's a really, really nice face. When her forehead is covered though, Jessica's face is instantly reduced both in size and beauty. And besides, it's not just about aesthetics. For the benefit of those new to this blog, according to Chinese face-readers, a lot of luck is stored in a woman's forehead, particularly at Biel's age. With that fringe it's like she's smothering her good fortune.
But then again, Jessica Biel smothers a lot about herself and it goes beyond what she looks like. We all know a girl like her. At one time or another we may have been a girl like her -- the kind of girl who'll modify history to arrive at a version of events she can live with, even if it means fooling herself.
In a new interview with Hello! UK, Biel addresses her breakup with Justin Timberlake last year. As you know, he cheated on her with Olivia Munn and others. Here's how she chose to interpret how that went down:
"I needed to be alone for a while. I think that when you take the time to stand by yourself as an independent person, and you find out that you actually are capable of moving forward alone and being fine on your own, then it is a very empowering feeling to have. It gives you a lot of strength, a lot of confidence, too, because it means you know that... any decision you make is an educated one, not just an emotional one. So you make your own choice about whether to step back into a relationship or whether to go in a different direction."
Who else have we heard this from, the "love yourself and be ok being alone" mantra?
Jennifer Lopez.
You know.
And it's a lot of work. This is what makes it so sad. That she's doing so much of the work in the fixing, or the masking. Why would JT ever have to try if she's giving him all the easy answers?
As for the wedding, apparently Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are her wedding idols:
"I do know that it's not going to be a great big to-do. This will be a very private moment for us, so we're going to keep it small and intimate. The people I'd most like us to be like are Emily Blunt and John Krasinski – it seemed like one day they were engaged and the next day they were married and nobody had known anything about it. And I did at the time think, 'Aha! That's the way to do it.'"
She'll get the wedding HE wants. It's the best way to start a life together.
