According to ure.pia.co.jp, a video was shown which featured the Japanese voice actors for Sora and Kairi sharing their experience working on the series.

Uchida commends her character for being so brave and confronting the darkness, something she admits she might not be able to do herself if put in a similar situation.
The video ended by assuring the audience that they have greatly enjoyed their experience working on the Kingdom Hearts series, and that relationships between the voice actors and the development team are strong and healthy!
Concerning Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross], the article mentions that a major update will be coming to the game this Spring, including a Player vs. Player feature.

Diamond Select Toys also have a Kingdom Hearts Vinimates Series 2 set to release in Spring 2018; the DST Amazon account is, however, listing the Space Paranoids Sora, Pete, and Organization Mickey Vinimates for release on August 29, 2018. Other sellers, such as AmiAmi and BigBadToyStore, are showing a provisional release for July 2018.
Lastly, over the past couple of months, Diamond Select Toys have answered fans' questions regarding the future of the Kingdom Hearts DST collection. You can read them below.

For the Kingdom Hearts line, will we be getting Riku, Kairi and Terra? What are the chances of getting a new Axel from DDD?
Right now, we have roughed in the character list for five series of figures, so as long as there is fan support and Disney likes the list, we're going to at least go well through 2018 with this line. As for who we cover, I can't say for sure right now.
Michael A.
Hey DST! I have been collecting the Marvel Selects for a few years and now i am loving your new Kingdom Hearts line! My question is about those. I know we just got Wave 2 announced, but i wanted to know if you guys had any plans (if even the license) to do the Final Fantasy series characters in their KH appearances? Especially Cloud and Leon. Thanks!
We are keeping information like that close to the vest, as the situation with Disney changes often. BUT as of now, no, we do not have rights to those two characters.
Jeremiah J.
Hello, I am a big fan of the DST Kingdom Hearts figures. The announced series 2 lineup sounds great! I note that the Disney characters being released so far are all Mickey centric and from that line of characters (Mickey, Pluto, Donald, Goofy, Pete, Chip/Dale). Will Other Disney characters be made in this line beyond Mickey and his Pals? Disney movie specific characters (like the Maleficent and Jafar that were sculpted and on display at Toyfair)? Thank you!
We are going to do as many of the characters in the game as we are allowed, and as sales supports. Including game-only characters, world-specific versions and Disney on-model looks.
Jeremiah J.
Hello, I just saw the Kingdom Hearts Series 2 listing and I couldn't pre-order fast enough! Upon closer inspection of the figures I had a few questions:
1) How tall is Pete? Is he going to be a larger figure?
2) It appears that Pete, Donald and Goofy have no elbow articulation. Are these prototypes? Is articulation being added?
3) Will Pete's legs have articulation? Will they be able to move back and forth?
4) No weapons were shown, but previously it was announced that Donald would have a mage staff, Goofy a shield, Roxas the Oathkeeper keyblade, and Aqua the Rainfell Keyblade, is that still the case?
A lot of questions, I apologize. Keep up the good work!
1) Pete is pretty big, I would say he is about 7 inches.
2) They are prototypes, but Goofy will not have elbow articulation.
3) Yes, Pete's legs are articulated in production.
4) The figures will come with some weapons. They're hard to pose with the prototypes, due to the materials used. Hopefully we will have more flexible production samples we can shoot soon.
Keep the questions coming — it just means you care about the line!
Other lines of Kingdom Hearts figures by Diamond Select include:
- Kingdom Hearts Minimates Series 1, releasing this year;
- Series 1 figures;
- Series 2 figures, planned to release this year.

UPDATE [Jan 27, 2018]: Twitter user そらるど tweeted out some clarification from cast members of Disney Store Shibuya pertaining to the sale of Kingdom Hearts Tsum Tsums. You can read a translation of the tweet below. Translations are provided by KH13 News Team member NihonScribe.
"Info from the cast of the Shibuya Disney Store
-At the D23 Event in terms of selling KH Tsum Tsums, "There are no plans" (current news of the Tsums appearing on the market are false)
-Within all of Japan there are only 500 with no plans for additional releases
*It appears to be the same at The Solamachi store. Sorry for the misinformation."
UPDATE [Jan 28, 2018]: Aitai☆Kuji reportedthat cast members said there will be subsequent sales of the Kingdom Hearts Disney Tsum Tsum. However, it is unknown whether they will be sold individually or in sets. This conflicts with previous reports.
Keep an eye on this space for more updates!

Two new Kingdom Hearts-themed watches are going to be made available to purchase at D23 Expo Japan 2018, which is taking place February 10th - 12th, 2018. Both of the watches are titled "Kingdom Hearts Watch -Crown-," and they will cost ¥21,600 (approx. $194.18 USD) each, tax included. The watches are identical aside from their color.

Told through the eyes of a goldfish named Ian, who is currently falling from the twenty-seventh floor balcony of an apartment building, this novel follows an eclectic cast of characters on one single day.A quirkily charming, highly original and philosophically joyful novel with the unlikeliest of heroes. This is Tales of the City as seen by a goldfish.
There is the handsome grad student, his girlfriend, and his mistress; the building's superintendent who feels invisible and alone; the pregnant woman on bed rest; and the home-schooled boy, Herman, who thinks he can travel through time. In this one building are stories of love, new life and death; and of learning that sometimes taking a risk is the only way to move forward…
About the author...
Bradley Somer has written a ton of short fiction, which has appeared in a plethora of literary journals, reviews and anthologies over the past eleven years. His stories show a bent for the off-kilter with a touch of the urban fantastic.
Bradley's debut novel, IMPERFECTIONS, was published in Fall 2012 by Nightwood Editions. It earned a starred review from Quill & Quire magazine, won the 2013 CBC Bookie Award for debut author of the year and was one of the Canadian Bookseller's Top 8 Picks for 2012.
His next novel, FISHBOWL, will be published in North America in August 2015 through St. Martin's Press. Publication rights have sold in over fifteen countries and the book will be available in many translations.
Bradley Somer is represented by Jill Marr of the Sandra Dijkstra Agency
One very ordinary day I opened an email from Elaine Egan, a press officer at Ebury Publishing asking me if I'd like to read a debut novel by Bradley Somer about a goldfish called Ian who falls 27 floors from a tower block. Needless to say I did a double take, re - read the blurb and thought WHAT! Why not - it sounded intriguing, different and totally unlike any of the books I'd read over the last couple of years.
What a book, I don't quite know where to begin to explain how I feel about this book. Have you ever wanted to look behind closed doors in a hotel or an apartment block, to get inside the minds of an eclectic mix of people and see what makes them tick? I know I have, that in-built nosiness was satisfied big time.
Each chapter introduces the reader to a character/resident from the apartment block, The Seville on Roxy, with the protagonist played by a goldfish. Ian, is a goldfish, owned by Connor. He was a gift from, new girlfriend Katie after telling her the tale of his utter devastation when, as a child he lost his pet dog, also called Ian. He takes a tumble over the balcony on the 27th floor and has split second glimpses inside the apartments of the many residents - clearly demonstrating we really don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
I smiled, laughed, cringed and sat open mouthed at the antics and characters Bradley served up to us. Each one living side by side yet not even knowing each other or anything about each others lives - quite sad and pitiful but so very true of many apartment blocks I'd say.
This is a truly fun, original book that will get you thinking and wondering about the people we come across in our everyday lives. Viewed through the eyes of a goldfish with a one second memory was just perfect. No time to think or judge, just accepting everything and everyone for what they seem. Ian was loving his adventure forgetting each snapshot of life as fast as experiencing the next - with no sense of fear just living for the moment.
We could all learn a lot from a goldfish! I urge you to read this book, it's original and certainly very different but highlights so many things. A goldfishes perspective on life clearly demonstrates how to live for the moment, accepting people for who they seem, yet not accepting everything at face value. Even people who at first appear to be opposites in character can live alongside each other, to form a community that can and do, help and support each other in their own way.
With such an unusual premise and eye-catching cover I was so glad I loved this book. I was highly, entertained throughout this book and make no hesitation in recommending Fishbowl. It's a breath of fresh air to read something so unique, 320 simply whizzed by and everyone knows I love a book that makes me think and isn't predictable. Huge thanks to Elaine for letting Bradley, through Ian get inside my mind, whirring my cogs.
You can follow Bradley and Ian on twitter - please do :)

Hot on the heels of Google's announcement of the KitKat update for Glass, the company has officially kicked off its one-day sale of its wearable device.
Any U.S. consumer can now become part of the Google Glass Explorer Program by ponying up $1,500 plus tax for a Glass Explorer bundle. Each purchase comes with a free shade or frame, charger, pouch, hard case and mono earbud. The colors available include Charcoal, Tangerine, Cotton, Shale and Sky.
Up until now, Google's Glass Explorer Program has been invite-only. The company has expanded the program on a couple of occasions, but it's still been somewhat difficult to join. Now any adult that lives in the U.S. and has $1,500 to spare can get some Glass of their very own. Obviously this program isn't for everyone, but it's great to see Google finally giving everyone an equal chance to get Glass. Plus, today's offer is good for Google because it gives the company a chance to greatly expand its Glass testing ahead of the device's public launch later this year.
Now that Glass is available to all U.S. residents and will begin receiving a KitKat update later this week, are any of you planning to pull the trigger on a unit today?

How To Find The Best Dry Cleaners Inside Your Community
Finding a good, reliable dry cleaning service in the area can be a challenge for those who have not used one before, or in case you have experienced a bad knowledge about a certain dry cleaner. There are some considerations to bear in mind when you find yourself thinking about employing a dry cleaning service you haven?t used before. Conducting just a little research before heading ahead and handing over your garments into the care of strangers may enable you to avoid disappointment and frustration down the road.
There are a few important and non-negotiable factors you require from the dry cleaner near me. You have to be able to trust that they will conduct a good job and successfully remove any stains, returning your clothing in pristine condition you need to know that they are completely reliable and that they will have your clothing ready to suit your needs when they promised so that you will tend not to find yourself without your garments when you really need them and you need to know that they are fully insured in case the worst happen.
Together with these basic requirements, an excellent dry cleaner near me will likely be friendly with good customer service, and provide fair prices. You should check their opening times before you leave your clothing together to make sure that you are capable to collect your garments when you want them. While you are comparing dry cleaners, try to use one which has been recommended by someone you know if you can. Check with your family, friends and colleagues to determine when they have used a neighborhood dry cleaning near me service in the past of course, if so, whether they possessed a good experience with that exact service and would recommend them.
Unless you know anyone who has expertise in by using a local dry cleaner, the very best resource is so

Seeds and Rosebushes
By: SilvorMoon
It was such a pleasant day that the governess had taken Cyndia outside for her lessons. In fact, it was such a nice day that lessons had been abandoned almost as soon as they had begun, and now the governess herself was dozing in the shade of a tree while Cyndia scurried around the garden, toddling from one flower bed to another and chattering to herself. Eventually, though, as the morning grew warmer, the little girl grew tired of her games and retreated to the shade of the tree. She picked up one of the books they had been looking at and began flipping through the pages.
"What's this word?" she asked, thrusting the book at her tutor.
The governess opened her eyes. "It says 'alive.'"
"What's that mean?"
"If something is alive, it means that it can get up and move around on its own."
"Oh," said Cyndia. She pondered that notion. "Am I alive?"
"Yes, dear, you certainly are."
"Are you alive?"
"That's right," the governess agreed. "And the birds and squirrels and the butterflies."
"Is the water alive?" Cyndia persisted, pointing at a fountain that splashed in the middle of the garden.
"No, honey, the water isn't alive. It doesn't move unless something pushes it," the governess explained patiently.
Cyndia considered a bit more, looking out at the garden as she assimilated this new information.
"The flowers aren't alive," she guessed.
"They are alive," said her governess.
"But they don't move," Cyndia protested.
"Not in a way we can see, but they do move," said the governess. "I'll show you. Let's go to the greenhouse."
She took Cyndia's hand and led her around to the side of the house, where a greenhouse stood glinting in the sunlight. Cyndia had rarely been inside it, and she stared wide-eyed and clung to her governess's skirt as she was escorted inside. The air inside was warm and steamy, with a strong smell of earth and green growing things. Plants grew everywhere, in pots or trays, spread out on tables or hanging on hooks from the ceiling. While Cyndia tried to look at everything at once, her teacher walked over to a flower in a pot.
"Might we borrow this for a little while?" she asked one of the gardeners. "It's for a lesson."
"Go right ahead," he said. "Just bring it back when you're done."
They carried the pot inside the house and left it on a sunny windowsill.
"You see," said the governess, "right now it leans towards us. But let's come back and look at it again in an hour or two, and we'll see if it's moved any."
So they went up to Cyndia's rooms and had milk and cookies and read a storybook, and when they had finished that, they returned to the window to have a look at their flower.
"It moved!" Cyndia exclaimed. "Look, look, the flower moved!"
And so it had. The flower that had been leaning towards them had bent its neck towards the warm sunlight. Cyndia clapped her hands, delighted at this discovery.
That was the first magical thing.
A few weeks later, Cyndia had gotten bored with her toys and had slipped out of her room to look for something interesting to do. Her father was in his office, talking on a telephone while swivelling in his big chair. Cyndia liked that chair, the way it went around and around, but she knew there would be no playing with it while her father was so busy. She found her mother in the library, curled up with a book, and all of Cyndia's entreaties were met with, "Hush, now, Mommy's reading. Why don't you go play with your toys?" Cyndia pulled books off the shelves at random and looked at them before putting them all back where she'd found them.
Where else could she go? Lacking any other ideas, she wandered downstairs and down one of the hallways she never used, one that led to the places where the servants did their jobs out of sight. She wandered around, peering through doors, but was disappointed to find that most of these rooms were full of grownups doing work. However, she eventually came to a room where it looked like people were doing something interesting. They busily chopped things up, or stirred them around in bowls, or put things in great boxes that blew gusts of hot air. Cyndia was fascinated. She had never seen anyone cooking before.
"What are you doing down here?" asked one of the cooks, looking down at her from where he stood chopping vegetables. "You aren't supposed to be here!"
"What are you doing?" asked Cyndia fearlessly. No one ever scolded her for anything. She was the master and mistress's only child, and she could get away with whatever she wanted.
"I'm making dinner," said the chef patiently.
"Can I see?"
The chef found a tall chair and pulled it up to the counter so Cyndia could stand on it and watch.
"Keep your hands to yourself," he warned, as he began chopping vegetables.
She watched him chop a while, fascinated by how quickly and neatly he worked. Then her attention span ran out, and she began investigating other things on the countertop.
"What's this?" she said, picking up a small stray object.
"What, that? That's just a seed."
"What's it for?"
"It's not for anything," said the chef. Then he considered and added, "Well, I suppose you could plant it and see if it grows into something."
"It will grow?" she asked, studying the seed curiously. It didn't look like it could do anything. It was just hard and dry, like a bit of wood. Not alive.
"It would if you put it in a pot with some dirt and watered it," said the cook.
She nooded. "Help me down, please."
The chef put her back down on the floor, and she ran off to her rooms with the seed clutched very tightly in one hand. Along the way, she ran into one of the maids.
"Goodness!" said the maid. "What's the hurry?"
"I need a pot, please," said Cyndia politely. "I want to plant my seed." She showed the seed to the maid.
"You could get that from the gardeners," said the maid. "Let's go check."
Within a few minutes, Cyndia was back in the greenhouse again, this time under the watchful eye of a gardener, who gave her a pot and showed her how to plant the seed and water it. She looked down at the damp soil that covered her newly-planted seed.
"When is it going to grow?"
"In a few days," the gardener told her. "Just give it a little water every day - not too much. Do you think you can do that?"
The gardener didn't think she could do that. She was just a very little girl, without much of an attention span, and likely to become bored with something as uninteresting as a seed in a pot.
But she did not lose interest. She took her seed back to her room, and dutifully watered it every morning under the watchful eye of her governess. For a few days, nothing of interest happened, but Cyndia was a trusting sort, and she believed that if she did as she was told, everything would work out.
And it did. One morning she got up to find that her little seed was poking above the surface of the dirt. She worried that perhaps she hadn't buried it deeply enough, and that all the watering she'd been doing had washed the soil away. When she checked it again later that day, however, she found that the seed was now perched on top of a tiny green sprout that was working its hardest to dislodge the shell with a few sticky new leaves.
"It's a baby plant!" she said happily.
And that was how she discovered the second magical thing: you could take a lifeless bit of wood, drop it in a pot of lifeless dirt, and pour lifeless water over it, and in a few days something alive would come out on its own.
A few days later, Cyndia's father said to her, "You know, you have a birthday coming up soon. Is there anything special you'd like as a present? You can have anything you'd like - just name it."
"Seeds," she said.
"What am I going to get you for your birthday?"
"I really don't need anything," Cyndia insisted. She smiled warmly at the boy who had asked her, with a spark of humor in her eyes. At twelve years old, Pegasus was still very much the gawky schoolboy. He still hadn't quite grown into his frame yet, but his face was starting to lose its boyish softness and begin to take on the shape of adulthood. His eyes were fixed on her with the look of puppy-like adoration she found so charming.
"I have to get you something," he insisted. "Even if it's something small. There must be something you want."
"I'll have to think about it," said Cyndia. She ran a hand through his hair. "You know you're all I could want. Nothing else could compare."
He blushed. "I still think I should get you a birthday present."
Cyndia nodded and turned her attention back to the rosebush she'd been admiring. It was the time of year when the roses were at their peak, and the ones in her garden were so prolific that there seemed to be more blossoms than leaves. The air smelled heavenly. It was Cyndia's favorite place in the world, and she and Pegasus had spent many happy hours there, chatting about everything that came to mind.
"Don't you love rosebushes?" she said. "I've been learning how to take care of them. Do you know how to prune a rosebush?"
"No," said Pegasus. He made himself a bit more comfortable, leaning forward and propping his chin on his hands, the better to be educated. "Tell me how."
"They cut off all the branches," she said. "Everything, all the way down until it's not much more than a stump. You'd think they were trying to kill it. But when spring comes, it leafs out again, and when it blooms there are more flowers than there were before. Isn't that amazing?" She paused a moment, reaching out to draw one of the flowers close enough to sniff it. "Flowers and plants have always been magical to me. They have a sort of life force that's so much stronger than anything we humans have. They're born from lifeless pods, they die every winter and come back to life in the spring. You could plan an acorn now, and the tree that would grow from it would still be here hundreds of years after we're both gone."
"I'd never really thought about that before," Pegasus admitted. "That's sort of beautiful."
"It is beautiful," she agreed.
Pegasus smiled, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Perhaps I'll just get you flowers for your birthday and not worry about a gift."
Cyndia laughed. She knew perfectly well that given half a chance, he would spend a small fortune on her. He'd been doing so regularly for birthdays, Christmas, and Valentine's Day since the day they'd met.
"That's what I want," she said. "Roses will be fine." She thought a moment, and then added with a playful smile of her own. "Blue ones."
"There's no such thing as blue roses," said Pegasus. "Unless you dye them."
"You're always telling me you would do anything for me. You can't back down over a little thing like flowers," said Cyndia sweetly.
Pegasus thought about it for a moment. "All right. Blue roses. I'll get you some. Not dyed ones, either."
"Oh?" said Cyndia.
"It's a surprise," said Pegasus.
And that was all he would say about the matter. That afternoon, he went to a hobby shop and bought several tubes of paints and brushes, and a book on how to paint. Many drafts and a lot of wasted paper later, he appeared on Cyndia's doorstep the day of her birthday, proudly carrying a rough but still attractive painting of a vase filled with dozens of blue roses.
There was something wrong with the weather that summer. Days that should have been warm and sunny were instead filled with heavy gray clouds. It rained often, turning the earth to sloppy mud, and the temperature never seemed to go up the way it should have. The reporters on the news talked grimly about crop failures, and meteorologists argued with each other as to why Mother Nature was letting them down this way. Everyone seemed to be in a bad mood.
No one's mood was worse than Pegasus's. He sat in his workshop, curled up into a ball on the floor, not moving. His keen eyes, which had once been able to pick out every nuance, every line, every shade of what he was seeing, now remained fixed on the blank white wall in front of him, and saw nothing.
There were windows in the workroom, but he chose not to look out them. He knew what he would see if he looked. There was a view of the garden, but the cold, wet weather had seen to it that only the hardiest plants were managing to survive, their leaves wet and draggled. Only a few brave flowers managed to put out a few buds, which blackened and fell to earth without blooming.
The rosebushes, pruned for the winter, did not grow back.
A few people stopped what they were doing to stare. They couldn't be blamed for that - it wasn't very often that anyone saw a limousine in the parking lot of a gardening supply store, and this one was immediately recognizable. It was sleek and silvery, with the design of a pegasus rampant on one door and the I2 logo on the other side. Many people gathered around, craning their necks for a better look as the famous man stepped out of his car. He nodded graciously to them as he walked past, while his bodyguards patrolled the perimeter to keep his adoring fans from getting too close. Pegasus strolled undisturbed into the building to wander around and look at the wares. After some serious scrutiny, he selected a handful of goods and carried them up to the counter.
"I'd like to buy these, please," he said.
"Of course," said the cashier, trying very hard not to stare. She quickly rang up his purchases. "That will be ten dollars and twenty-six cents, please."
"That little?" said Pegasus musingly. "Strange, isn't it, how such important things can be bought for such trifles..."
There didn't seem to be any answer for that, so the cashier simply put everything in a plastic bag and handed him with an automatic suggestion for him to have a nice day. He waved distractedly and walked back to his car. The onlookers stood and watched as it glided serenely away.
Pegasus sat silently in the back of the car, watching the scenery roll by as he opened his packages one by one. Gradually, the city was replaced by greener spaces, and at length, they came to a wide open area, a pleasant-looking place whose grassy expanse was broken only by a few trees and neat rows of gray stones. The car parked at the front gate, and Pegasus got out and walked silently into the cemetery.
He knew exactly which stone he wanted. He had visited it many times before. Now he stood before it, smiling gently.
"Hello," he said. "Sorry I haven't been here lately. Things have been quite exciting lately - they've only just let me out of the hospital." He reached up with one hand, gently touching the place where his eye used to be. Even after a few days of treatment, it was still quite sore. "I hope you aren't too disgusted with me. I'll make it up to you, though. You'll see - I'll do better this time."
He stood a moment, thinking or perhaps listening. He had been thinking a lot lately, about the seed and the rosebush. People, he had decided, were not like seeds. Life didn't spring up from what was dead. Rosebushes, though... that might be different. Even if he'd been cut back until he was nearly dead, he had this chance to grow back into something better. He would do it. Cyndia had always loved rosebushes most of all.
"I brought you the kind of flowers you like," he said quietly.
And with that, he opened a bag and spilled a cascade of seeds onto the earth.

Chef Rochelle Taylor from Sur La Table in Northbrook Court is sharing her recipe for "gourmet" gumbo during a Mardi Gras Party cooking class this Thursday, February 7th. She'll also be sharing tips and recipes for creating your own Mardi Gras dinner party.
Mardi Gras Party cooking class
February 7th, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Sur La Table, 2160 Northbrook Court
Chef Taylor's top "Mardi Gras Party" tips:
-Make a muffaletta "bar". Set up a station with the muffaletta mixture, meats, cheeses, breads and lettuces to accommodate both sandwich-lovers and gluten-free guests alike.
-Adding heat is easier than taking it away! Keep everything at a medium level of spiciness but allow guests who like their food extra spicy to add heat by having options available.
-Gumbo can be made the day before. But skip adding the seafood until the day you serve. Simply heat up the gumbo & mix in the seafood when you're ready to eat.
-More time = more flavor. Be sure to take the time to really let the gumbo's roux develop on a slow heat or it will not have the depth of flavor that you are looking for.
-Thicken to your likeness. You can thicken your gumbo with either okra or file powder. Both are equally effective, and both are considered traditional thickeners.
Muffaletta Olive Salad
-The muffaletta is one of the signature sandwiches of New Orleans. For almost 100 years, the Central Grocery on Decatur Street in the French quarter has been serving this classic, which features a piquant olive salad spread on an Italian roll and layered with sliced cheeses and cold cuts. In this version, we've presented this famous sandwich as a salad. When processing the spread, you can pulse several times for a chunky texture or process longer for a smoother spread. Any leftover olive spread will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Yield: 4 servings
-1 large clove garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
-3/4 cup pimento-stuffed olives
-1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
-1 large celery rib, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
-1/2 medium red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
-1/4 cup Italian pickled vegetables, drained
-1 red bell pepper, roasted, peeled, and seeded
-6 to 8 pickled cocktail onions
-2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
-1 tablespoon sugar, plus more as needed
-Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-5 ounces arugula leaves, washed and dried
-1/4 pound provolone cheese slices, cut into 1-inch wide strips
-1/4 pound mortadella or Genoa salami, cut into 1-inch wide strips
-2 tablespoons Italian flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Place garlic, olives, celery, red onion, pickled vegetables, roasted peppers, pickled onions, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
-Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped.
-Add more olive oil if mixture is too thick and pulse to incorporate. Transfer olive mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Taste and season with sugar and pepper.
-Cover and allow olive mixture to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
-To serve, place olive mixture in a large salad bowl.
-Add arugula leaves and toss to coat. Divide salad between 4 chilled salad plates.
-Top with strips of provolone and mortadella, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Chicken, Prawn and Sausage Gumbo
-Serves 8
-There is debate about the origin of the word "Gumbo". It likely comes from the Bantu word meaning "okra" or the Choctaw word meaning filé. These are the two methods used to thicken this popular stew. You can make this recipe the day before, but don't add the prawns until right before serving or you will overcook them.
-8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
-1/2 cup all purpose flour
-3 large onions, chopped (about 6 cups)
-3 green bell peppers, seeded, chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
-4 celery stalks, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
-8 garlic cloves, minced
-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-1/2 cup dry white wine
-1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
-3 bay leaves
-1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
-16 ounces bottled clam juice
-2 cups low-salt chicken broth
-2 pounds andouille sausage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
-1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
-16-ounce package sliced frozen okra
-2 pounds prawns, peeled and deveined
-Minced fresh Italian parsley, for garnish
-Steamed rice, for serving
-Melt butter in heavy 6-quart pot over medium-low heat. Add flour and whisk until incorporated. Cook, stirring occasionally until dark reddish brown, approximately 1 hour.
-Add onions, bell peppers and celery and cook until onions are soft and brown, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Add garlic and cayenne and stir 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add wine, thyme, and bay leaves and bring to a boil.
-Add tomatoes with juice, clam juice, broth, sausage, and chicken; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add okra and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
-Add prawns to pot and cook until just opaque in center, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season gumbo to taste with salt and pepper. Place one scoop of steamed rice in center of bowl and ladle gumbo around. Garnish with minced parsley.
-Makes 30
-To develop more flavor, let the dough rise in the refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before frying for best results. Watch your oil temperature carefully: too hot and the beignets will burn. Too cold and they will be greasy.
-1 cup whole milk, 105-115°F
-1/2 cup granulated sugar
-1/4 ounce active dry yeast
-4 cups all-purpose flour
-1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-4-6 cups canola oil, for frying
-1 cup powdered sugar, for garnish
-Pour the warm milk into a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, the yeast, and a heaping tablespoon of the flour into the milk, whisking constantly, until both the sugar and the yeast have dissolved. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
-Add the butter, salt and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Fold in the remaining flour and sugar with a large rubber spatula.
-Knead the dough by hand in the bowl for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
-Remove the dough from the bowl and roll out on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares (2-inch squares are more traditional, but larger squares can also be used), cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warm location until beignets are doubled in size, about an hour.
-Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F on a thermometer. Fry the beignets in small batches in the hot oil, turning them every 30 seconds or so with a spider or slotted spoon, until golden brown all over.
-Use a spider or slotted spoon to remove beignets from the oil and drain on paper towels set on a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Put the powdered sugar into a fine-mesh strainer and dust the warm beignets generously.
-Serve while warm.
Black-eyed Peas with Andouille Sausage
Serves 6-8
Several cultures believe that eating black-eyed peas will bring prosperity or luck. When cooked with sausage and bacon, it adds flavor to your meal as well!

-Slice remaining sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Fry briefly in a nonstick skillet and keep warm.
-Place peas in a serving bowl and garnish with fried sausage, green onions, tabasco and cider vinegar as desired.

PHOENIX -- A cat is recovering at the Arizona Humane Society after being burned in an apartment fire last week.
The humane society's emergency animal medical technicians transported Bella, a 4-year-old tortie, to the Second Chance Animal Hospital after receiving a call from a neighbor.
Bella had first-degree burns on her paws and a burn spot on her belly where a piece of plastic had melted on her skin. Her whiskers were singed off.
Veterinarians have been changing Bella's bandages and giving her antibiotics and pain medication.
The humane society said Bella will enter the foster program for several weeks because her owners are unable to keep her after losing everything in the fire. Once fully recovered, she will be available for adoption.
To adopt Bella, call 602-997-7585 ext. 2045.
To become a foster parent for animals, visit www.azhumane.org/foster.

Pet Owner in Austin
Hello! I am about to put my house up for sale, and because of this, need to find a temporary home for my two dogs. Chief is a 5 yr old German Shepherd. He is awesome! Friendly and protective. Duke is a 1 1/2 yr old Anatolian Shepherd (?) mix. We adopted him about a year ago from AAC. He is pretty shy and unsure about things, but has a super sweet disposition. Neither dog is aggressive at all. They will bark when someone comes to the door, and when someone walks by the fence, when they are outside. They are pretty much entirely inside dogs and very spoiled. I hate to be away from them, but it will make things much easier. It should only be for a few days and would need to start on Monday, 7/6, at the latest. I will provide their food and dishes, etc. I am on a very tight budget right now, but will pay a fair price to the right person. I live in SW Austin, and would love if they can stay close, so we can visit if time allows and you are amicable to that. Thank you for your time!

I am a 41 year old woman with no family history of diabetes. At a regular doctor's check-up (about 5 weeks ago) I had blood work done routinely and the results showed a blood sugar count around 280. Previous bloodwork done 9 months ago had it at 90.
At the time of this test where my bood sugar was so high, I had been having extremely intense premenstrual symptoms (cravings for food I don't normally eat, irritability, etc.)
The doctor decided to do a fasting blood sugar test three days later. A day and a half later I got my period. This blood test showed my blood sugar at around 380. I was put on Glucotrol [glipizide, a sulfonylurea hypoglycemic medication, ed.] for the next three weeks. Again we did a blood test (I also had PMS again) and this time it was about 470. Now we are set tomorrow to do another fasting test.
I'm having such a hard time adjusting to a diabetes diagnosis and wondered if there could possibly be a relationship to menstruation -- am I secreting hormones or something which could drive up my blood sugar that much? I had no noticeable symptoms which made me think I was ill when I went to the doctor five weeks ago, but now I have symptoms. Can you help me understand this at all?
It's common that the symptoms related to the onset of monthly menstruation (called PMS, premenstrual syndrome) can cause the blood sugar to be slightly elevated for a few days. But the extremely high levels you're experiencing cannot just be related to menses; based on the recent blood sugar value, your diabetes seems to be getting worse despite the addition of medication that should have helped (if you have Type 2 diabetes).
At age 41, it's not clear whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Since you're not responding well to a month's treatment so far, ask your physician for additional advice and information to help get things under control soon. For example, I really wonder what your blood sugar levels have been doing during the past month while you have been on Glucotrol. If you have not been doing home blood sugar monitoring, you definitely should be!

What do Casablanca, The Streets of San Francisco, 42nd Street, Fantasy Island, East of Eden, and The West Wing have in common? They, and hundreds of other classic movies and TV shows were created just a few blocks from the Tangerine at one of the twenty nine sound stages on the expansive Warner Brothers Studio lot.
Warner Bros abandoned their Sunset Blvd studios in Hollywood and came to Burbank in 1928 when the four Brothers Warner purchased First National Pictures. The company that created the first 'Tarzan of the Apes' in 1918, First National's studios were located on Olive street near Dark Canyon, now the southwest corner of the Warner lot.
With the earnings from the first full-length sound motion picture, the highly successful 'The Jazz Singer', Warners brought their pioneering sound technology to Burbank and began to perfect the sound technology. The lot expanded along the Los Angeles River, quickly becoming one of the world's most advanced centers of cinema production.
Tours of the Warner Bros lot, including visits to working sound stages, the Prop Department, the Picture Car Vault are best arranged in advance and tickets may be purchased at www.wbstudiotour.com. The main gate to Warner Bros is less than a half mile from the Tangerine on Riverside Dr at Warner Blvd.
