SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved an increase in rebates offered through the California Solar Initiative (CSI)-Thermal Program of up to 45 percent. The CPUC authorized the higher rebates to help boost early adoption of solar water heating technology and encourage involvement in the statewide program.
Through the program administrators – California Center for Sustainable Energy® (CCSE) in the San Diego Gas & Electric Company® territory; Pacific Gas & Electric Company® (PG&E); Southern California Edison® (SCE); and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas®) – customers who heat their water with electricity, natural gas or propane can be eligible for the program's highest solar water heating rebate yet.
The increased incentive structure applies to the early steps of the CSI-Thermal Program, with cash rebates rising 45 percent for qualifying systems installed on single-family homes and by 13.33 percent for those installed on commercial or multi-family buildings. The maximum rebate has increased to $2,719 for single-family homes and remains at $500,000 for multi-family or commercial buildings.
The rebate increases apply to all CSI-Thermal Program applications submitted after July 3, 2012. Requirements must be met to qualify for a rebate under the program, and factors such as how much energy the system can displace will affect the amount of rebate that can be received.
In addition to CSI-Thermal rebates, customers may be able to take advantage of the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit on the net cost of a system less the CSI rebate. (Customers should consult the IRS or a tax professional for details.)
Typical solar water heating systems reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water by working as a companion system with a current water heater. The system captures the warmth of the sun and transfers the heat to the water. The solar-heated water is held in a storage tank until it's needed to replace the hot water pulled from the conventional water heater for use in sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers and washing machines.

About the California Solar Initiative
The California Solar Initiative (CSI)-Thermal Program is funded by California investor-owned utility customers and is administered by regional Program Administrators under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. CSI-Thermal is part of the overarching "Go Solar California" campaign, which is a joint effort of the California Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission.


text: Happy Thanksgiving, grateful ones. In honor of this appreciative holiday, we're all about finding your perfect autumnal hue. Is it red-orange like Arizona Muse in Louis Vuitton or deep tangerine like Shala Monroque in Dior? Perhaps, yellow is more your speed, as seen on Kate Moss, also in Vuitton. For those who prefer a deep red palette, there's always Rose Byrne in Jonathan Saunders\u2014and if you're willing to embrace the richness of browns and gold, Florence Welch shows it off in stunning Valentino. Any way you're swayed, there's no denying the inherent luxury of fall's colors.

TOWN OF NEWBURGH — Burglars and cops are busy in the town these days.
TOWN OF NEWBURGH — Burglars and cops are busy in the town these days.
Police Chief Michael Clancy said officers had responded to 21 percent more residential break-ins by Dec. 10 than they did for the same period in 2011. The numbers were about even until recent months.
"The burglaries have shot up since October, no doubt about it," Clancy said.
A few have had happy endings. One woman called police after noticing a strange car in the neighbor's driveway. Cops stopped the thieves moments later and recovered a load of stolen electronics.
But others have been more frightening and violent. Thugs who brutally beat an elderly couple on Dec. 2 in the Balmville section of the town are still at large. Clancy said detectives were aggressively following a number of leads in the case.
The burglaries have been scattered throughout the town. Of the 102 residential burglaries in 2012, Clancy said the north end of Newburgh had more than the south, but no single neighborhood seems to be more of a target than others. The majority have followed the classic pattern of suburban burglars: striking during the day while homeowners are at work. A new trend, Clancy said, is that the thieves seem more focused than ever on jewelry and gold. He suspects that stems from greater opportunity to unload those types of valuables.
"Part of what you're seeing, and I think some people might disagree, but you see an awful lot of places advertising that they buy gold, they buy jewelry," Clancy said.
City of Newburgh cops typically handle almost triple the number of burglaries as the town, but city police Chief Michael Ferrara has been happy to see his numbers decline. Through Nov. 30, city cops had recorded 289 residential burglaries in 2012. That's an 11 percent decrease from 321 cases reported for the same time period in 2011.
The nature of the break-ins changes in the city, too. While thieves still like gold, jewelry and electronics, Ferrara's cops also contend with legions of metal scrappers who scour the roughly 700 vacant buildings in the city in search of copper pipes and cast iron radiators they can sell.
One way police try to clamp down is to monitor pawn shops and scrap yards, Ferrara said.
"We try to develop a good relationship with people that take in those types of precious metals and all metals," he said.
The town has fewer empty buildings, but Clancy said his officers see the scrappers too. In October, two days after a 20-year-old died in a fatal fire, town cops stopped two men who had been rummaging in the ruins. Clancy said they'd come to steal the metal.

Oh god, not more Gumball news...ok, let's try to give you a recap. Nick Morley, the driver of the car which reportedly fled the scene after causing an old Macedonian man to have a "heart attack" and die, thus causing his wife to die of grief (look, we're romantics, so let us romanticize, k?), thus causing the Gumball 3000 organizers to try to cover up the shameful display of emotion, was released on bail earlier today. Morley, the brother of a big UK real estate developer, then tried to snag a private jet back to the UK despite being told not to leave the country. Luckily, the Macedonian border guards knew to be looking out for the always-on-the-go Brit, and snagged him before he boarded the plane. Morley's now back in jail. The saga continues...

There is increasing concern about the lack of antibiotics in the research pipeline with more "superbugs" – resistant to many antibiotics – being discovered and many bacteria and viruses jumping from their original hosts to man.
Many countries – Australia included – are looking more closely at how antibiotics are used and also ensuring good hand hygiene – washing hands – between examining patients (doctors are the worst). When implemented in Australia this led to a decrease in the incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia.
Just as important is the research carried on by non profit groups and government research. Australia is one of the world leaders with the worlds most advanced biosecure laboratory. The Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong can research these new threats such as Hendra virus hopefully leading to new antibiotics (for bacteria) and new vaccines.

We stateside types are no more familiar with the English shooting brake than we are with clotted cream or buttered fish at breakfast. Historically, it's a vehicular crossup between a sports car and a station wagon (so sorry, estate) for country gentlemen whose fox hunting gear intruded upon their motoring activities. Now, Audi is reviving the shooting-brake concept in its new Shooting Brake Concept, which in addition to offering a fresh spin on the sport compact segment, also hints stylistically at the next-generation TT.

NOAA 15, also known as NOAA-K before launch, was an operational,
polar orbiting, meteorological satellite operated by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It was the latest in
the Advanced
TIROS-N (ATN) series and the design was based on the Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Launched by the Titan II rocket
from Vandenberg AFB, NOAA-K replaced the decommissioned NOAA 12
in an afternoon equator-crossing orbit. It provided support to environmental
monitoring by complementing the NOAA/NESS geostationary
meteorological satellite program (GOES). Instruments were flown for
imaging and measurement of the Earth's atmosphere, its surface, and cloud
cover, including Earth radiation, atmospheric ozone, aerosol distribution, sea
surface temperature, vertical temperature and water profiles in the
troposphere and stratosphere; measurement of proton and electron flux at
orbit altitude, and remote platform data collection, and for SARSAT. They
included (1) an improved six-channel Advanced Very High Resolution
Radiometer/3 (AVHRR/3); (2) an improved High Resolution Infrared
Radiation Sounder (HIRS/3); (3) the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided
Tracking System (S&R), which consists of the Search and Rescure
Repeater (SARR) and the Search and Rescue Processor (SARP-2); (4) the
French/CNES-provided improved ARGOS Data Collection System (DCS-2);
and (5) the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units (AMSUs), which replaced
the previous MSU and SSU instruments to become the first in the NOAA
series to support dedicated microwave measurements of temperature,
moisture, surface and hydrological studies in cloudy regions where visible
and infrared instruments have decreased capability.

Ancient Belief
It is our belief that as a Guardian of Veeshan, you have a duty to represent the clan. Keep in mind that every action reflects back on your brothers and
sisters. You have an obligation to keep the Clan name strong, if not strong in combat, at least strong at heart. If an adventurer advances you, it is your duty to combat them back so that you and your brethren do not lose face. To the death if necessary.
Codes of Combat
It is our belief that combat is one of the best places that one can prove themselves. The heat of battle often reflects that "unbeatable 'balance' of the dragon's
vast intellect and wisdom, great speed and strength, and glorious grace and beauty." Each member perseveres towards these goals.
Honor Code
The Guardian code of honor is one that anyone could agree with, but many have a hard time following. We ask that you use caution, and remember that your reflection of the code of honor will be the reflection of yourself and your Clan. If you are greedy and petty then we do not expect you to be able to follow such a code. But if you are pure of heart and honorable then you will accomplish many great things amongst the Guardians.
Respect: Brothers and sisters should always show respect to not only their superiors but to the other adventurers in the land. Always do as you are asked and be willing to take the consequences for your actions. Never take vengeance upon or take authority over those lower ranked than you for selfish needs. Remember that you too were once in their shoes, and wouldn't have wanted to be a victim of someone else's rage just because they out ranked you. A good reminder is to treat the people of Norrath as you would want them to treat you.
Principles: Never back down from your principles, even if some of the wicked people in the land, persecute, or torture you for it. Although we should never act superior or higher then the others in the land, all Brothers and Sisters must uphold themselves to higher principles than to those of the Lands. We must always conduct ourselves in a manner that demands not only respect but also a sense of nobility. Always observe courtesy and etiquette. Always show self control in any situation. Brothers and Sisters should be kind and open hearted, willing to hear and understand both their own and others' perspectives. You should always greet everyone in a room, or anyone just entering your Clan. You should always be willing to expand your knowledge and perspective. Always hold one's self above greed and the need for material things. Always show respect to others, even if you do not know them.
Devotion: By devoting ourselves to our Lord, our Clan, our Families, and the Codes of Conduct, we offer ourselves a chance to learn and grow from each experience. Thus we never take anything from the hard work and the things you accomplish throughout the lands. Instead we add to the commitment of gaining levels and learning within the lands. Although Donations of gold or material items to the guild is not expected, it is however looked well upon, although not necessary. Giving donations to the house may not help your pocket or make you popular, but it will make you feel like a better person. More important, is your devotion to duty. Duty to your Clan, and all that walk the lands of Norrath. Brothers and Sisters should show devotion to your Clans by making donations whenever possible.
Obligation: "One's Word is One's Honor"... An obligation taken on by a Brother or Sister of the Clan requires a willingness to undergo any sacrifice in order to repay a kindness, or honor a commitment. Remember to always repay one's debts. Whether moral obligations or material items it is extremely important to remember to repay any services, deeds, or material debts one might have. Not only for the sake of relieving such a burden from ones own mind, but to show respect for the lender. In the end both parties will have both given and taken, thus ending the obligation of both parties. Never say I was told to, or she made me do it, or it's not my fault. It is your obligation to take the punishment for your own actions. No one can make you do anything, it is you who make the continuous decision to act or react to any given situation. It was you who decided to follow the order, or not follow the order and be punished.
Truth and Justice: Brothers and Sisters are always expected to stand up for the right of truth and justice. By telling the truth we extend ourselves to new challenges and opportunity to learn. We leave justice to the hands of the Lord Wurms, Chancellors, and Ancients, never breaking the chain of command. We never take vengeance on someone weak enough to accept his punishment. We are neither judge nor jury. We do not have the right to prosecute anyone for there crimes. We can only report them for their crimes and hope that they are taught a lesson from it.

Lead story: Suite treats
GCN Lab Reviews index
GCN Lab TV index
STAROFFICE 9 from Sun Microsystems is a good solid office suitethat works well with OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Microsoft Office2003 formats alike.
To begin, we could open the main menu page, which allowed us toopen any of the programs in the suite, or we could open themdirectly from the Start menu. Because the main menu screen closedas the selected program opened, we didn't see much point inusing it over the other method. It did have links to connect tosome useful online resources at the bottom, but that was it.
The Writer program had all of the formatting options we wereused to in other word processing programs. We were able to open andsave a Microsoft Word file with no loss of formatting. We werevexed by Sun's decision to have the drawing and math equationfunctions as separate programs (named Draw and Math respectively)instead of integrated into the main word processing program. True,this could allow these functions to be more easily used by theentire suite. However, it's inconvenient to have to open awhole other program just to add these elements to your wordprocessing document, which is where you will need these functionsthe vast majority of the time.
The slide show presentation program, aptly named Impress, madeit easy to get the presentation we wanted right off the bat.Several templates were available that each focused a presentationfor a specific purpose, from a brainstorming session to a projectstatus report. We were able to select the specific slides we wantedfrom a list and could preview the slide show before it opened. Thenit was simply a matter of replacing the program's suggestionson each slide with actual content, and we had a slide show.
Exporting to PDF was possible in the main component applicationsbut not with the one-touch ease that other suites in this reviewprovided. We had to go through various settings before we finallyhad a PDF document.
StarOffice also included a database program entitled Base. Thisapplication can create decently powerful databases with the help ofTable, Query, Form and Report wizards. Unfortunately, thesedatabases can only be saved in ODF.
There are hundreds of add-ons and extensions available throughthe OpenOffice. org Web site ' a more limited, free versionof StarOffice ' a nice touch.
StarOffice 9 supports Windows, Linux and, of course, Sunoperating systems. Sun lets you download the StarOffice 9 suite,which supports one language and one operating system for $35, avery good deal.

Hi Kate, John Martinson here and I hope you had a safe trip home! It was a pleasure meeting you at the W2W and I bought your book and I'm excited to read it. It was a big positive impact in my life being able to go to the day at the races with Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation and the Working To Walk Chicago. I met so many inspirational people like yourself, Sam Schmidt, Ida Cahill, Bruce, Susan, Dr. Young, Dr. McDonald (Hollywood) Kay, Cindy, Dr. Stephen & Jeannette Davies, Marilyn & John Smith, Joe, Larry & Kathy, Deborah, Ron, Justin, Donna & Matt, Pete, Martin, Anne and so many more, I just want to say THANK YOU!!

Kate, I just wanted to say that I just finished your book and it was wonderful. My son is a T5 incomplete. He was rear ended by a drunk driver in Jan.05. He has made incredible progress and is independent in everything. When I read your book it took me back to so many of the sights and sounds of that time period in our life. I hope that Bruce and the girls are doing well. Thanks again. Shelly
hi Kate, I'm not sure if you are a nurse or if you can answer this but I thought I would try anyway.
My husband Scott, is a C6 quad and has the symptoms of a dvt in his right leg. We plan on seeing a doctor tomorrow who can ultrasound it but until then do you think he should stay in bed to avoid breaking up the clot and it moving to his heart or head?
Thanks for any help you can give us

Toddler Yum needs a new nickname, I think. Even before my sweet girl turned three, she didn't seem much like a toddler any more. She's fully adjusted to going to a yochien, or preschool, here in Japan, and even adapted to riding on a bus all by herself. Actually, who am I kidding. She loves riding the bus to school so much she actually thanked me for LETTING her ride on it! lol. And I thought my little baby would be scared to ride all by herself. Anyway, the fact is that my little girl is growing up, and I think I just might have to start calling her "Kid Yum." Sniff.
Kid Yum has been enjoying the delicious school lunches at her Japanese yochien. I have been enjoying the luxury of having someone else feed my kid nutritious meals from scratch. The yochien has its own kitchen with see through windows, and you can see the chefs working on prepping vegetables and other ingredients all morning. It puts American schools to shame, really. But unfortunately, this blissful respite is over for the school is now having a kind of summer vacation, when many students go off and do other things with their families. They have what they call "waku waku time" or exciting fun play time instead, offered for working mothers or those with new babies etc. so Kid Yum is attending that. But the downside is that she no longer gets those delicious lunches during break, and I have to make her her own bento every day. Eek!
I made a bento before for the oya-ko ensoku (parent-child outing) when we went to a camp wilderness area and did scavenger hunts etc, but that was basically just a lot of things that I like. I didn't pack it up in a real bento. For that, I made roasted kabocha pumpkin slices, inari zushi, and spring rolls with peanut sauce, boiled eggs, and Roasted Chickpeas. So, today I made Kira her first official kid-serving bento.
And last but not least,
Roasted Broccoli
1 head of broccoli, washed, cut into long stemmed florets
olive oil
bouquet garni
smoked paprika
Preheat an oven to 450 (or use a toaster oven). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place your broccoli florets on the pan and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Rub the olive oil into the florets and sprinkle them with herbamare, bouquet garni and smoked paprika. Yes, I brought all of these herbs from the states because I love them so.
Roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes and check. Turn and cook for another 5 to 15 minutes depending on how roasted you want them to be.

Our recommended price for the Nuvifone G60 was death, payable by the handset, not the prospective buyer. Until that can be arranged, though, Amazon's plunging $200 discount (on a $300 phone!) will have to do.
To recap the only review we've ever written that didn't even have a "Good" section, the Nuvifone was a failure in about every way that the once-hot handset could've been: It's crashy, it's got a clunky resistive screen, the browser is really, really tough to use, and camera sometimes works, there's a $5/month charge for basic services like weather, traffic and local events, the battery life is horrendous, and the OS acts like a navigation unit firmware with tumorous telecommunications outgrowth. And oh god, that price: $300 with an AT&T contract, which is about how much it'd cost you to buy one iPhone 3G with TomTom and Navigon apps.
So yeah, a price drop was all but inevitable, but it's heartening to see it happen this soon, even if not by Garmin's hand. Next stop: 0. [Amazon via Engadget]

Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.
Water Resistant
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

International Day of Forests - The contribution of forests to sustainability and development
21 March 2013
UNOG Library Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland
The United Nations General Assembly has passed a draft resolution to designate 21 March each year as World Forest Day, encouraging all Member States to organize forest-related activities. This resolution marks the importance of forests and their contribution to human enlightenment. Forests have always played a major role in human history. Over time, the interaction between humans and forests has changed in response to social and economic changes. A historical perspective reveals the importance of striking a balance between conservation and use in order to ensure the full range of forests' economic, social and environmental contributions.Sustainability which is founded upon these core concepts found its roots in scientific forestry more than three centuries ago.
For example, in 1713, Hans Carl von Carlowitz, Chief Mining Administrator at the court of Kursachsen in Freiberg (Saxony), published his work "Sylvicultura oeconomica" in which he demanded that no more trees should be felled than could be replaced through the planned sowing and planting of new trees. He called this approach "nachhaltig" (in English: sustainable). Similar concepts appeared around the same time in other countries.
The science and practice of forestry have evolved and expanded over the centuries, from focusing on the preservation of forest capital while ensuring the sustainable production of wood, to including a deeper understanding of sustainable development.
Objective of the discussion:
To highlight the contribution of forestry to our society and to celebrate the first ever official World Forest Day, the UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section together with the United Nations Office in Geneva, is organizing a high level policy talk on 'The contribution of forests to sustainability and development".
A distinguished group of speakers will debate on these issues and present success stories as well as their vision, illustrating how maintaining the health and productivity of forests in different regions of the world have contributed and will continue to contribute to sustainable development.
Although national priorities may differ between countries, there is consensus that sustainable forest management remains a shared objective, not only between countries with similar levels of forest cover, but between those with quite different experiences.
Join us to discuss how sustainable forest management can respond to a variety of needs from multiple stakeholders and create a healthier society.

How to Choose the Best Legal Structure for Your Startup
1 min read
When starting a business, your decision on how to structure it is an important one. We examined the pros and cons, and what they mean for various types of startups. Here's what you can expect from the four most-popular business structures.


text: 14/02/2008 Phil Koperberg: NSW Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Click on image to enlarge Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Water Phil Koperberg announced today that a baby elephant is expected to be delivered at Taronga Zoo's Wild Asia in mid 2009 - a first for the Australasian region. Minister Koperberg said Taronga's young female Asian Elephant, Thong Dee, was five months pregnant, just 15 months after arriving from Thailand via the Cocos Keeling Islands. "An ultrasound last week showed a healthy foetus just under 10 cm long and very active, like its father, the male elephant, Gung," he said. "Although it's very early days yet, we believe Taronga's preparations and specially designed elephant exhibit will help reduce the risk for the first-time mother. "In the wild first-time mothers can lose up to 50 per cent of their calves either during pregnancy or as neo-natal deaths. "This exciting news is a tremendous success for Taronga's regional Conservation Breeding Program and for the future of our largest living land animals." Mr Koperberg said Asian Elephants were more endangered than their African relatives. "Asian elephants face an uncertain future threatened by shrinking living space and poaching for the ivory trade and there may be just 34,000 left," he said. "While this might seem stable, some countries have fewer than 200 animals left in the wild which is genetically unsustainable. "In Thailand alone, the area of rainforest has diminished from 80 per cent coverage prior to Word War two to only 15 per cent today. "World Zoos represent the best hope for many endangered species around the world and this pregnancy confirms the years of planning and research that Taronga Zoo, strongly supported by the Iemma Government, has put into this carefully considered program. "As with any conservation breeding program, our long term aim is to preserve the genetic diversity of this endangered species within the zoo as an insurance policy if wild populations were to collapse in the future." The Zoo's Director, Guy Cooper said when the elephants arrived in Taronga in November 2006, the breeding program began with conditioning that allowed keepers to train the elephants to have ultrasounds and regular medical checks. "Supported by a carefully chosen team of expert keepers and global zoo knowledge of Asian Elephant breeding, including advice from German mega-fauna reproductive expert, Dr Thomas Hildebrandt, our program made immediate progress," he said. "The elephants at Taronga have matured rapidly due to their high standards of diet, exercise and care. Continuous reproductive assessments undertaken last year established that all the females were viable for breeding. "From the start, the male Gung, 7, began doing what he was supposed to do in an elephant herd, mating with the females. Over months, his relationship with them changed from being a playful younger brother to being a desirable young male. "It was always our plan to breed Gung with the younger females Thong Dee and Tang Mo. He has now been successful in mating nine year old Thong Dee. "Our Elephant Manager, Gary Miller, has brought a wealth of knowledge on elephant breeding from the USA, where he was involved in nine elephant births and has attended several of the elephant mothers as the 'aunty' to help during their births." Elephant Breeding Fact SheetBreeding season - mostly non-seasonal - breed year round Reproductive cycle - cycle approximately every 4 months and can be in heat for up to four days Gestation period - 22 months or 630-660 days - the longest gestation period of any mammal Birth weight - 100-150kg Inter-birth interval - 3-4 years in favourable conditions but can be from 5-8 years Age of sexual maturity - 8-9 years for both sexes however in the wild males may only become sexually active between 15-20 years Number of mammary glands - 2 between the front legs Other factsif bred early in life (before 20 years) females have been known to breed up until about 60 years of age pregnancy can be confirmed by measuring hormones in the blood from about 12 weeks after mating or by ultrasound between 8-20 weeks weekly blood samples are taken from the females to plot their reproductive cycles so breeding can be carefully managed only a single calf is born - twins are very rare adult male elephants (bulls) go through periods of heightened sexual activity, increased aggressive and sexual behaviour, secretions from glands on the side of the head (temporal glands) and urine dribbling. This is known as musth. Musth is usually associated with increased secretion of testosterone and may last for periods of a few weeks to months. Bulls do not have to be in musth to breed successfully there is a report of Asian and African Elephants interbreeding however the calf did not surviveFor more information contact Media Relations:Ph: +61 2 9978 4606 Fax: +61 2 9978 4511 Email: email@example.com

Fish Tacos
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 4 servings
- Total: 21 min
- Prep: 15 min
- Cook: 6 min
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
Pinch cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound meaty yet flaky white fish, like mahi mahi or cod, skinned and de-boned, cut into chunks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
8 sprigs fresh mint
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 lime, juiced, plus extra if necessary
Kosher salt and pepper
10 corn tortillas, warmed
1/4 head green cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
Pickled banana pepper strips, optional
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
- For the fish: In a bowl, combine the oil, spices, salt and pepper. Add the fish and make sure each piece is coated with the marinade.
- For the mayo: Put the mayonnaise, garlic, mint, cumin, and lime juice in a food processor. Whizz until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if necessary. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- Grab a large, nonstick saute pan and warm it gently over medium heat; no need to add oil since the fish is already coated in oil. Once warm (test by sprinkling some water into the pan, if it sizzles and evaporates, you're ready), place each piece of fish in the pan. It should sizzle gently but firmly when it hits the pan. Cook until cooked through, but still moist, about 3 minutes per side. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Don't overcook your fish! It'll taste awful!
- Remove the fish from the pan and serve immediately with warmed tortillas. I put a light layer of cabbage on the bottom, then the sauce, a few chunks of fish, the scallions, a couple of slices of banana pepper, and a squeeze of lime. And once the fish is finished off, you can do what I do, and make cabbage tacos - everything except the fish! So good!
Cook's Note
Christina Perozzi from beerforchicks.com suggests an Allagash White from Portland, Maine. It's an ale brewed with coriander and bitter orange peel which works perfectly with the tacos, harmonizing with the spices and also providing herbaceousness and citrus!
