I'm in an odd situation. I joined a message board that was kind of a group of people going through tough times after my ex and I had a real bad breakup. I posted on there about some issues I was having and posting on there led me to start talking to this girl who was also going through a rough time. That was nearly 7 months ago now. After a couple weeks on that site I was over it and kind of stopped visiting that website and she sent me a link to her Facebook so we could stay in touch.
In those 7 months both of us kind of dated a little bit, I had another girlfriend who ended up giving me some troubles and she helped me with that too. She has also had some issues with her ex continually contacting her and I've been helping her stay away from him, because he was abusive. One day on Facebook she gave me her phone # because "texting was easier".
Over the past two or so months we have literally texted each other every single day. Through talking we realized we have so much in common, both love sports, have same favorite TV shows, love same type of music, have the same sense of humor, everything. I just recently downloaded snapchat too and she added me on it and now we snapchat each other quite a bit, and she sends me pictures of herself in the morning sometimes with the caption "Good Morning". She has even jokingly told me that if neither of us find someone in the next few years "we could always just marry each other hahaha". Now I feel like she is the exact type of girl I am looking for and I have really fallen for her but there are a few issues. First is she lives in a different state. Second is beside joking about getting married that one time where we were both down about our dating luck, I don't think she really knows how I feel. I am also going to be visiting her state next month and will be 45ish minutes away from her house and kind of want to ask her out when I'm near her but don't know if that'd be awkward or anything.
My question I guess is, do you think it is possible to fall for someone you never met in person? Because I really think that might be what is happening to me right now.

It's possible, but you can never be sure if it's genuine or not (unless you meet up with them). I mean, everyone can "create" a fake persona online. Some people just want to impress you, and in the end, they manage to make you think they're ideal for you. They may be entirely different in real life. What if you are in love with a fake ideal? What if your major excitement alters the reality? What if she is entirely different than she presents herself?
Sure, its possible to find someone good, but less likely, and not to mention its dangerous. Plus, unless both of you have the money to travel I don't see the point in it.00|00|0
Thanks for b/a :)

gluten-free Prescription Prenatal Vitamins
onelildream replied to mandigirl1's topic in Celiac Disease - PregnancyI use OCal prenatals. They are a prescription, but they say Gluten Free right on the label... And I'm not one to trust things unless they say that. They don't make me sick, but I take them right before bed. I'm 21 weeks preg, so I'm passed the nausea stage. I think when you take prenatals might be a culprit too.
Did I Do The Right Thing?
onelildream replied to onelildream's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseThank you. To all of you. I needed the support. I am confident I am doing the right thing. I will present my information at my daughter's next exam and maybe I will teach him a thing or two!! You guys are a God-send. I am happy to have all of your support and love. This forum has been a real blessing in my life.
My Daughter Had Vermont Sugar-free gluten-free Syrup, Why'd She Break Out In A Rash?
onelildream replied to onelildream's topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesHonestly? Ignorance. I didn't know maple syrup is one ingredient, so I didn't know that wouldn't make us sick!! Haha. Thanks, Ursa
This morning I tried gluten-free syrup on our gluten-free pancakes. It was called Vermont Sugar Free Syrup. On the back it said Gluten Free, but listed in the ingredients was caramel coloring. I have had probs with caramel coloring, but thought that since it said gluten-free it was safe... So why did she break out in a rash everywhere it touched? Could it be the caramel color or is she reacting to something new like splenda?? Hmmmm.. I need your help. Oh, PS, that was the worst tasting syrup I have ever had, but she liked it!
Did I Do The Right Thing?
onelildream posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseAt the beginning of my pregnancy I was having severe reactions to gluten. (I am now 16 weeks and have been off gluten for 5-6 weeks). I talked to my doctor and he said GO 100% gluten-free the entire pregnancy, and then I'll be sent to a GI doc after I deliver. As I started to do my best and be gluten free my symptoms all ceased, THANK GOODNESS. I was very active in educating myself and have become more and more convinced every day that I have celiac. (my whole life I have had many of the symptoms but just not as severe). Anyway, I have glutened myself on purpose 2 times and refuse to test it again EVER because of the awful repercussions. Very stupid to endanger my growing child, I know, but I am over that. What I have also done is taken my daughter (2 years old) off of gluten for about 2 weeks now. Her back, which has been covered with "eczema" all of her life, has finally cleared up. She is soft and babylike for once!! And she has had regular stools which she has never had all of her life either (they have always been rock-hard and sometimes she's constipated for a week!). Life w/o Gluten has been great. Unfortunatly, she found a bag of cheerios in an old diaperbag last week and glutened herself, which of course, gave her constipation for days... And lo-and-behold the rash all over her back came back. It is slowly getting better but I am convinced that this is celiac for us both. I am fine with the lifestyle change, really. I feel good that we feel good. BUT her doctor, when I mentioned celiac at her last visit (before going gluten-free) said he's never had a child test positive for celiac. He even made me feel like I was stupid for questioning it. I mean my daughter has been on a laxative for 2 years!! He blamed me on being the culprit for not giving the laxitive to her regularly. I'm just wondering... I cannot be tested until after I am pregnant, in which they want me to eat gluten for 12 weeks just to do a stupid biopsy! I cannot survive that! I literally would be 80 pounds. I refuse to even see the GI. But my problem isn't the lifestyle change and strict diet for me, but for my daughter. I am afraid that I did all of this too quickly and prematurely. I didn't tell her doctor, and it seems he'll be angry with me when I tell him she's gluten-free and feeling better. I didn't even get her a blood test before going gluten-free... Now there's no way I am putting her back on gluten. There's no way I'll subject her to a glutening on purpose to get her a DH test. Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. But I am afraid that "hard evidence" is needed these days. What about when school starts for her and I have to explain how I diagnosed us both with celiac and I want her to be gluten-free. How on earth will things fly with that? And what if she gets mad at me when she's older? Or, gosh, what if I'm insane and we don't have celiac? What if I'm mistaken? I do know going gluten-free has made us both happier and we both are feeling healthier, but I really don't want us to be tested. And I definitly don't want us to go back to gluten. Am I doing the right thing????? or should I buck up and get one of us tested??
Dreaded Nightshades, Should I Avoid All?
onelildream posted a topic in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut IssuesSo I posted a topic a few days ago about my aweful weekend literally on the toilet and in front of the toilet. I had what was said to be gluten free at 2 seperate quick food places and after eating from Winger's (potato skins, chicken, fries, and veggies) I immediately got a severe migraine. I literally was throwing up for hours and was sick for 2.5 days straight. I felt like I could die or pass out. I'm pregnant and I should have gone to the ER, but I'm too stubborn at times! Anyway, I have been researching a lot about Nightshades. It really was after I at the potato skins that almost immediately my migraine came on. So, here's what I feel pretty confident about; I am pretty sure I can no longer have potatoes. My "food poisoning" -like symptoms were posted on many other forums when others had potatoes. So, what my question is is just this: Do you think that it could just be potatoes and not all nightshades? I am really afraid to test anything right now. I was far too sick this weekend to even take care of my daughter and I don't want a repeat. But have any of you experienced only symptoms to potatoes? Is potato starch just as bad? How do I find gluten free breads and such without potato starch? Please help. I am really feeling depressed. Tomatoes are my favorite food and I love everything spicy with serano peppers!! And I'm obsessed with Pamela's pancakes, but they have potato starch.
After Going Gluten Free, Symptoms Worsen?
onelildream replied to onelildream's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithYes, cheating is now not even remotely appetizing to me! Thanks for your replies. I will stay clear of food that could have cc or that I don't see prepped. It def may have been food poisoning. I didn't think of that. If it wasn't though, I sure am hypersensitive now!!
After Going Gluten Free, Symptoms Worsen?
onelildream posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithSo, I have been gluten free for about a month. Although, I have just recently become very STRICT about it. I check evey label and stay entirely clear of any sort of product that may even have remote traces of gluten. I ate out for two meals last week and must have been accidentally glutened. I'm serious, I thought I was going to die. I was vomiting for hours and sitting on the pot for even longer. I felt ready to pass out. I never had symptoms as serious before, but after going gluten free my eczema cleared up, migraines and headaches stopped, nausea and occasional vomiting stopped, stomache aches and related problems cleared.... But seriously, I felt like I was on my deathbed.. And it lasted for 2 and a half days. I'm just wondering do symptoms worsen after going gluten free? Has anyone experienced that????
Gluten Free Candy, Even?!

Gluten Free Candy, Even?!
onelildream posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI'm having a hard time with little things like chocolate and other candy. I ate something that was like smarties and it gave me an instant headache. Do even those little things have gluten? What about chocolates? Any safe ones? I NEED luxury, or I'm not going to make it!!! For enjoyment I thought I had candy left!!...... no such luck!
Pregnant And Traveling
onelildream replied to JustCan's topic in Celiac Disease - PregnancyCheck with your doc about tuna. I'm 12 weeks and doc told me to avoid it, maybe it's high in mercury? As for nausea, sucking on lemons has always helped me. You might want to try it... or OJ works, too. Just anything with acid seems to settle my stomach. Stay away from really fatty foods the night before the flight too. I too am flying in a couple weeks and I plan to pack naked nuts, if you can eat those for protein, and a lot of small snacks. Usually, they are very understanding when you explain you have a severe allergy.
In Denial Of My Celiac Diagnosis
onelildream replied to munkee41182's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping With"Does anyone else feel this way?" How about EVERY DAY! My symptoms are fairly severe and granted I've only been gluten free for a month, but I do challenge it in my thoughts EVERY DAY. A few days ago, I was thinking "naw, this can't be true. Screw it, I'm eating pizza!" So I did. And then I spent 4 hours in the bathroom. My husband asked if it was worth it... Well, no. But yesterday I sure was thinking about pizza again, breadsticks and alfredo. Could it really be that bad?! YES!!! Why do we continue to do it? I'm still at a loss.
Please Help Pregnant And Self Diagnosed
onelildream replied to onelildream's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithThanks, Everyone. Of course my kids are most important to me and I will do all I can to protect them both. It's hard to admit this is really happening, but I am doing my best to be gluten free. I am switching my daughter today too. She rarely eats wheat just out of personal preference, but all of her symptoms and mine combined just spells out CELIAC. She has had a rash on her back since birth and it's pretty congruent with DH also. I thought long and hard last night about my other symptoms, migraines all my life, constant bloating, gas, stomach aches and bathroom trips that I attributed to lactose intolerance which I might not even have if a lactase pill never works, anal fissures and bleeding, itchy bumps in DH common places, and a host of other issues. My husband and I were trying to conceive for almost 18 months before getting pregnant, which I read can be a symptom of celiac. At the beginning of this pregnancy I WAS pregnant with twins, but I miscarried one. I know that this is serious and I am pretty sure it was due to malnutrition and the lack of absorbing the nutrients. I just feel pretty lousy that I could have been dealing with this all my life, but never put all these things together until now. Is it common that there's a misdiagnosis with other food intolerances, like how I've always thought it was lactose intolerance? or just ignorance? I can't believe how many things this encompasses and just explains. Thanks for your support. I will be visiting often. Another question: What are the benefits of being scoped or tested? I've been almost 100% gluten free for a month, even my rashy bumps are scabs and not active... I'm already commiting to a glutenfree diet and there's NO WAY I'm going back to gluten for 2 months just for some stupid scope. I'd rather die. I know I can do a blood test, but how effective is it when you've been gluten free? I don't know anything about the blood test. My doc didn't even mention it (only a GI doc about a scope after the duration of the pregnancy). Again, thank you. You all have been very kind and helpful.
Please Help Pregnant And Self Diagnosed
onelildream posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithOkay, So I'm 25 and pregnant with my second child... Since the day I knew I was pregnant up until now (3 months along) I have dealt with a distended stomach. I thought it was due to being pregnant and was excited about possibly having twins, etc, but then the symptoms came: In the bathroom for hours after eating anything with gluten vomiting and stomach aches the whole second day after eating gluten headaches almost immediately after eating glutened meals etc. All my life I have thought I've had lactose intolerance, but a lactase pill has never worked for me. I also have had what I thought to be eczema since 2001, but I've never had it diagnosed, all I know is that it is itchy, I have tons of water blisters, and I scratch until I bleed on my elbows and knees... So anyway, I went to my OB and he said to stay completely away from gluten if I am getting sick because I am losing so much weight when I should be gaining. Unfortunately, I cannot be tested until I have the baby to see if it is Celiac or just gluten intolerance. My daughter is 2 and deals with consistent constipation. I am worried that if I have celiac, maybe she does too? Has anyone had a young child with celiac? Do they have opposite reactions? I'm having a really hard time and I have been trying so hard to stay away from gluten, but it's so freakin hard when I'm in denial!! I don't want to believe it. Has anyone heard of just being gluten intolerant in pregnancy? Am I overreacting? Is this maybe just a temporary thing and not due to celiac? Could the symptoms I've had all my life been due to a mild form of celiac and not lactose intolerance (which I have never taken seriously and have always jut dealt with time in the bathroom pretty regularly) Oh, and if I stay gluten free, how am I going to be tested and have anything conclusive if I have been gluten free for 8 months?! So frustrated and confused! Please help!

Ok so there's this sophmore at school (im a jr) she's really nice and i think she's super pretty i mesaged her and then she ended up telling me i was cute thats good right i told her she was cute as well and then we just kept talking i asked her out 2 times the first she said her parents didn't let her it was a Sunday by the way and she said ohh if wecant go Sunday we will jist go Tuesday thats great right? She gave another potential day instead, we both seemed to have forgotten ok same week now its Monday she toldme Sunday night that she really wanted to watch deadpool and im like ohh thats great we could just go there then i asked around what time she wanted to go she said around 2 great till here i message her. Monday morning around 10 am and she doesn't respond until 24 hours later after i saw her at school, she smiled at me and everything. Now today Wednesday she didn't go to school i had boughten her spme starburst she loves candy and gave them to her sister to gove to her everythings great and then. i asked her. of she. got them and she told me "your so sweet thank you <3" we talked for a little more i say "goodnight sweet dreams <3" but she just responds with a "good night :)" should i keep trying to talk to her or mpve on?
Most Helpful Guy
Good night :) is good enough. Don't be the kind of person who makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
I'm not sure right now. If you asked her to go out Sunday for later that same Sunday and she said no, then I can understand that. It's strange that you claim she and you both forgot that you had a date set for Tuesday. That's a red flag for both of you.
Again, if I interpreted what you wrote correctly, another time that you asked her out you messaged her and she ignored the message and didn't respond until after you ran into her at school and the date had already passed. If I've got that right, that's the second red flag.
If you really like her, I guess that you could give it one more try, but if she misses again, I'd back off if I were you unless you're a masochist.10|10|0

Four memorable proms for four different reasons. . . .
Not everyone gets to be prom queen. Now that I'm in my 40's it seems like an even sillier distinction than it did when I was in high school. From what I've heard my little brother's geeky friend voted for me. I guess I had that going. I also had my dear old dad as my date my junior year. I know that sounds pathetic as hell but seeing that I had quit varsity cheerleading, switched to a rival school, promptly got kicked out, and found my way back one week before prom—what choice did I have? At least I didn't get stood up like Lieselle did. We took our dads because they wouldn't let two girls go to prom together back in the 80's. We managed to have a decent time despite being completely sober. I wore a borrowed blue dress. Lieselle was voted prom queen the following year.
That red dress makes all of the difference. Without it I would never have ended up making out until the wee hours of the morning in the Oxford hotel's mezzanine. Unlike my previous prom dresses, this one is a slinky little number—seeing that I am now in my 30's, wearing a full length, billowing gown seems silly. We all call the event "prom" because it is our chance to dress up and go to the big city of Denver. Officially, the evening is the "Evil Companion" book talk sponsored by our university. Either way, it's a big deal to us. I am the only one in the group who is a lecturer instead of a graduate student and I have a date. He is blond, way too handsome for me, and horny as hell. I don't remember his name. I do remember being a bit demure. I blush a lot, smile coyly, and keep that red dress on until I let myself in my hotel room at around four o'clock in the morning.

Socialist sales at Salford station
Over the last year we've done a weekly sale at teatime for commuters who work in Manchester city centre and use Salford train station to get home. Sales usually average seven or eight. Sales were best at the time of the Labour leadership campaigns, again at the election and again after Grenfell.
Normally one member does it but lately another, who can't often make Saturday campaign stalls, has joined the activity. One is fine but two is better - more of a noticeable presence.
Sales to commuters are good in that you are quite likely to see people again next week. On the other hand, commuters are often in a rush and you have to be quick to respond with a leaflet or join card, and change for a fiver or tenner (always have plenty of pound coins)!
There is a willingness to get something to read on the train - we shout: "Socialist paper, only £1, read it on the train!" However lots of people still think the paper will be free (the Metro is free, as is our local Manchester Evening News in the city centre). Many of these are happy to pay when we explain that we don't get any corporate advertising and are funded by sales, subscriptions and supporters. But if people don't want to pay we give them a leaflet and invite them to check us out on the website.
Seven or eight papers a week doesn't sound much but without this activity we doubt whether we would have made our target in the last two or three quarters. Lots of people see us, including other activists passing by on buses, and they've commented on it.
We've had good conversations, especially with Corbynistas. We got our first person interested in joining from the station sale last week and he is coming to a Young Socialists meeting.
Definitely worth trying.

Several years ago, I read and loved the book Heaven is For Real. This book depicts Heaven in a way that makes it more real to most of us who have never seen it. In the book, the Burpo family shares their son Colton's account of meeting his unborn sister in heaven. After being pregnant for two months, Sonja Burpo had a miscarriage, and she never knew whether the baby was a boy or girl. Colton revealed to his family that they had a daughter in heaven who met him at the gate upon his arrival.
This book came alive to me after my own miscarriage at two months of my identical twins, Angel and Joy. Today, I had the opportunity to meet the Burpo family one-on-one after their interview at CBN. I wanted to thank them for sharing about their own miscarriage, as it gave me hope and peace that I will see my babies again. They welcomed me with open arms into the green room. As I shared with them about my miscarriage, I cried, and they wept with me. Sonja came over to me, put her arm around me, and prayed for me. As she prayed, Colton and Todd also laid hands on me. Then, they signed a copy of my book, and also signed and gave me a copy of their new book, Heaven Changes Everything. This book offers daily devotions, including encouragement for women who have miscarried and/or lost a child.

Hi my name is Marc Ankenbauer and I jump into freezing cold lakes for charity. I'd like to personally thank you very much for visiting my website, Glacier Explorer.
My Story
For the last 10+ years I've been attempting to be the first person ever to jump into all of the 168 named lakes in the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park (more commonly know as Glacier National Park in Montana, and Waterton National Park in Alberta, Canada). This is the wild mountainous area where the Rocky Mountains run over the U.S./Canadian border. It is over a million acres of enormous mountains, dense forests and abundant wildlife which includes the king of the forest, the grizzly bear. Luckily for me, the glaciers and snow melt have created hundreds of frigid, crystalline lakes for me to jump into. I've been doing this to raise money for childhood cancer. As of spring 2013, I only have 10 lakes left to accomplish my goal!
Why am I doing this?
As a young person, I had a brief bout with cancer. Although no time with cancer is exactly brief, it is something you think of often and drives your actions throughout life. This has instilled a powerful drive in me to experience life and its spectacular opportunities to the fullest. This ideology was the catalyst in attempting my project.
I have often asked myself why am I doing this? Now that its getting close, it is almost why did I do this?
Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Everest "because it was there".
I did this because I said I would.
And, because I'm alive and my body is willing.
Because I can and so many others can't.
Because I too someday won't be able to.
Because there are so many ways in which my life could be completely different and I'm still smitten by my luck.
Because I want to test out the carriage to see how it handles.
Because we all are sitting around with time on our hands and waiting this whole thing out, best amuse ourselves while we are waiting.
To give my friends and I somewhere amazing and new to go to on our weekends.
Because I have always been enamored by the idea of setting a goal that is almost out of the realm of possibilities, will demand all my attention for a decade and has absolutely no real purpose.
To stake my momentary claim to being an Explorer.
To amuse while inspiring, because inspiration alone doesn't get much airtime these days.
Because I've always admired the guy who tied a bunch of weather balloons to a lawn chair and brought a bee bee gun to shoot them out when he rose too high into the sky.
I'm in love with the randomness of life.
Gotta do something, right?
To the Madmen!!
That's why I'm doing this. While I'm at it though, I wanted to raise money for those that can't do this…
My want to give back has connected me with Camp Mak-A-Dream. They are an organization in western Montana that provides medically supervised, cost-free programs for children, teens, young adults and families affected by cancer. You can learn more about this worthy cause at: www.campdream.org

Most entrepreneurs I know are also athletes – by nature we are a competitive bunch. Athletes don't expect to master anything without practice and they know practicing will never end.
I played basketball in high school and still play today. I practice at the YMCA and I will not leave the court unless I hit at least 7 out of 10 free throws.
In high school, I shot 100 free throws everyday on a dirt court my Dad made behind our house. We had a very steep driveway so a basketball court there was out of the question. So Dad fired up the tiller and cleared a space in the woods then rolled a log across it to compact the dirt into a smooth court. Yes, the Jaunzemis clan is quite resourceful and bootstrapping was a way of life. OK, maybe we were squatting on land that was not ours, but Dad also taught me to take risks.
Like sports, entrepreneurship requires the same commitment to practice. Practicing is an action which is different from learning. Practicing allows you to know how the action feels mentally and physically. So you know what it feels like to make money, to win, to lose, to sell, to ask, to put yourself on the line.
Jason Fried of 37signals wrote a great article about this titled, How to Get Good at Making Money where he offered this exercise:
So here's a great way to practice making money: Buy and sell the same thing over and over on Craigslist or eBay. Seriously.
Go buy something on Craigslist or eBay. Find something that's a bit of a commodity, so you know there's always plenty of supply and demand. An iPod is a good test. Buy it, and then immediately resell it. Then buy it again. Each time, try selling it for more than you paid for it. See how far you can push it. See how much profit you can make off 10 transactions.

- re-listing the things my partner can't sell on Craigslist to see if I can sell it with improved copy writing or photos
- attending business events just to practice my networking skills
If you want to practice buying a business, try this:
- sign up for alerts of businesses for sale on bizbuysell
- For every business you might be interested in make a list of five ways you would grow that business.
- For every business you read make a list of three people, businesses or investors who should buy that business (you don't have to know these people, but think about who would benefit by buying it).
- Occasionally share the business for sale with one of the people on your list with a note explaining why you thought they would be interested.
- Keep doing this until you find one that you can't stop thinking about, one you know you could grow with all the creative ideas you have.
- Now go pitch those three people on your list and ask them to invest in buying the business.
One of the most common questions I get about buying businesses is how do you get the money to buy your first one? If you practice this enough you could land an investor in the process.


text: This book was a lighthearted, well written, fast paced, creature filled fun read. Never once did I wish the pace and progress to pick up. The characters were well done and loveable/detestable (where appropriate). In fact the characters were what made this book enjoyable. Necromancy is definitely a difficult topic to steer clear of Creepsville while fostering the Feels for a smart ass MC who you can't help but root for. I recommend this book to anyone that likes funny, fast paced, paranormal character driven novels where all loose ends are neatly wrapped up by the end. I am definitely going to read book #2 though it's not at the top of my ever growing, seemingly insurmountable TBR list.


text: I see the Storm game as being a defining one for the season. I have a feeling they are going to be pumped up for it. It really concerns me that this game has been scheduled on a Saturday night after we play on Monday. Surely whatever genius puts the schedule together should apply a few simple rules, one of which should be that any team playing Monday night must play the following Sunday. The scheduling this year has been atrocious, and has created an uneven playing field that is simply unacceptable in a supposedly professional sport. Manly is one team who has been royally shafted by scheduling this year.

IOM's migration and development programmes aim to generate a better understanding of the links between international migration and development in order to harness the development potential of migration for the benefit of both societies and migrants. The long-term goal of such activities is to foster sustainable development and reduce the socio-economic factors that continue to keep people in poverty. Globally, IOM implements such programmes through research, capacity building exercises for governments and community development. By engaging diasporas* with their countries of origin, IOM builds partnerships with home country institutions, authorities, and businesses to transfer skills and knowledge to meet the developmental needs of the country.
At global level, recent programme focus has been placed on the facilitation of remittances - the private financial transfers of migrants - and the development impact that they can have on communities and countries of origin.
*Diaspora: Refers to any people or ethnic population that leave their traditional ethnic homelands, being dispersed throughout other parts of the world. (IOM Glossary on Migration)
In the UK, IOM has been engaging diasporas through surveys, mapping exercises, organising video conferences with government officials, health and educational institutions. Through such engagement, IOM UK has been able to facilitate the temporary return of skilled diaspora members to their home country to conduct training and provide know-how to different sectors.
Working in close cooperation with diaspora community organisations and non-governmental organisations, IOM UK has led the mapping projects for:
- Ethiopia
- Somalia
- Iraq
- Sierra Leone
- Nigeria
- Lesotho
Migration for Development in Africa (QUEST-MIDA)
The Qualified Expatriate Somali Technical Support - Migration for Development in Africa project (QUESTS-MIDA) is a joint initiative between IOM and UNDP which brings the skills, knowledge and expertise of Somalis in the diaspora to Somalia, and encourages the transfer of core skills and technical capacity to staff in UNDP partner institutions in Somalia. The Somali Institutional Development Project (SIDP) works with Somali governance institutions in all the three principal administrative areas of South-Central, Puntland and Somaliland to foster transparent, accountable, and responsive governance. To find out more about this project, please visit the website here.

Trucking movements of coal in doubt
Road haulage of coal between Narrabri and Gunnedah is in doubt after Narrabri Coal suspended its trucking trial and Boggabri Coal announced it's reviewing its operations.
Whitehaven's Narrabri mine and Idemitsu's Boggabri mine asked the state government for emergency permission to undertake more than 1,000 truck movements a day to get their coal to port.
The requests came after six coal wagons derailed on November 28 near Boggabri, blocking the Main North Line.
The Australian Rail Track Corporation is carrying out repairs, but says the earliest forecast for the line to re-open is Christmas Day.
The two miners proposed using 85 trucks, carting up to 40-tonnes each.
Whitehaven started a two-week trial on Tuesday using nearly a dozen covered coal trucks on the Kamilaroi Highway to test the systems and procedures ahead of proposed larger-scale trucking.
But the trial was aborted within 48 hours, with Whitehaven saying the risks associated with the extra traffic, and interaction with other heavy vehicles, were unacceptable.
Idemitsu says it will not proceed with road haulage at this time, and will now consider its options.
The company says it hasn't ruled out shutting down production until rail services resume.
Earlier, Roads Minister, Duncan Gay, said he was prepared to take whatever precautions might be necessary to ensure the safety of children going to and from Boggabri Public School.
He says if the miners' proceed with their respective applications to Planning NSW, and truck movements of coal commence, he wants to make sure the community is protected.
"It's our view that during this period there should be 40km/h right through Boggabri while truck movements are occurring with flashing warning lights on approach to the 40km/h zone," he said.
"Also, we'll be putting one of those electronic signs on approach to the school warning [truck drivers] of the presence of the school and school children."
A spokesman for Planning NSW confirmed that both Whitehaven and Idemitsu had lodged separate emergency trucking applications with the Department.
Both coal miners sought Section 75 modifications to their original development applications while the ARTC undertakes repairs at Coxs Creek Bridge.
Whitehaven's Narrabri mine wanted approval for around 420 return truck movements along the 65km-length of the Kamilaroi Highway, while Idemitsu's Boggabri mine wanted permission for 156 return truck movements, both during a 16-hour period six days a week, excluding Sundays.

We are a coalition of tenants living in an estimated 185 + residential buildings, owned and operated by Steven Croman, his wife Harriet Kahan Croman and 9300 Realty. Under constant threat of eviction, we have all struggled against systematic assaults on our basic rights as citizens and human beings to live safely and peacefully in our homes. We as Croman tenants are victims of patterns of abuse perpetuated by the Cromans and their agents.
We are committed to Stop the Cromans and to hold them accountable under the law by working in partnership with GOLES, Cooper Square, Housing Conservation Coordinators, as well as numerous other city- wide tenant organizations and our elected officials, especially State Senator Brad Hoylman and his staff, and with the proper authorities.
When a young Steve Croman started buying Chinatown tenements and displacing tenants in the mid 1990's, he was met with strong opposition from a Chinese community organization called CAAV. They were the first activist group to officially protest Croman's invasion of their community. As Croman forayed into non- Asian communities in the Lower East Side, Little Italy and the West Village, protests accelerated and meetings moved to University Settlement.
From 2000 to 2006 several ad hoc groups met sporadically at University Settlement and Cooper Square. The Stop Croman Coalition that exists today was formed when it had it's first meeting in 2007 in the living room of long term Croman tenants, Cynthia and Peter Chaffee. We met regularly for over a year and a half. As membership expanded, a larger space was needed and the meetings were moved to GOLES. On Bastille Day, July 14, 2007, the STOP CROMAN COALITION was born and continues to this day.

I was recently asked via an Instagram post to break down my top 5 favorite whiskeys in the $35 and under range and my favorite in the $36 to $100 range. That's not enough of a breakdown for me. I need to break it down to $36 to $55, and $56 to $100. Even that seems like not enough, but we will at least start with that.
Top Five Whisk(e)ys $35 and Under
1. Jim Beam Black Bourbon
2. Jameson Irish Whiskey
3. Lismore Single Malt Scotch
4. Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon (only $11 locally and I would easily pay closer to $20)
5. Collier and McKeel Tennessee Whiskey
Top Five Whisk(e)ys $36 to $55
1. Few Spirits Bourbon
2. Basil Hayden's
3. Whistle Pig 111 Straight Rye Whiskey (called Triple One)
4. Maker's Mark (84 proof if you can still find it, otherwise the 90 proof is great also)
5. Chattanooga Whiskey Co. Cask
Top Five Whisk(e)ys $56 to $100
All of the expressions in this category are Single Malts with Penderyn being the only non Scotch. I know there are several very good bourbons and other world whiskeys in this category. However, I yet to try one.
1. Lagavulin 16 Single Malt Scotch
2. The Macallan 12 Alchemist
3. Glenfiddich 12
4. Penderyn Madeira
5. Laphroaig Triple Wood
Ardbeg Supernova 2010
Not all of these are going to be readily available in your local stores. If you live in an area where you can legally buy liquor online, you should be able to find any if not all of these on-line. A couple of my favorite on-line stores are Master of Malt and Drink Up NY. Since I live in an area where I can not buy on-line and have it shipped to my house, for now I'm just window shopping.
In the near future I intend on releasing another list of my favorite whisk(e)ys within different categories such as Single Malt Scotch, Irish whiskey, Bourbon, and so on. Keep an eye out for that.
Let me know via the comment section below if you think that I forgot one or if you agree!

Low Fat, High Protein Substitute for Sour Cream
Written by David Hanenburg | Topic: nutrition
Many people enjoy sour cream on or in a whole host of meals. I enjoy it periodically. My wife makes some great chicken enchiladas that includes this calorically dense product. Yummy!
The issue with sour cream it is mostly fat. So the calories add up quickly. If an athlete or anyone for that matter is trying to maintain or lose weight, the sour cream calories will quickly take the place of other healthy food items you could have consumed throughout the day. Or, you could start adding on weight. For most people and athletes, this is not a desire.
My mother (thanks mom!) recently made me aware of a great alternate to sour cream that tastes the same, similar consistency and texture, contains no fat, and is high in protein. This potential replacement is plain Greek Yogurt.
Yogurt? Yes, the plain version without any fruit.
My first experience with Greek Yogurt was on a burrito. If I hadn't known what it was, I would have easily said sour cream. It was definitely tasty.
Nutritional Breakdown
So how do the two stack up against each other on the fat/calorie and protein side of things?
Horizon Organic Sour Cream:
- 60 calories per 2 tablespoons (50 calories from fat)
- 1 gram protein per 2 tablespoons
Stonyfield Farm Organic Plain Greek Yogurt
- 120 calories per 1 cup (0 calories from fat)
- 23 grams of protein per 1 cup
It may not be really easy to compare so let's increase the sour cream serving size to one cup so that we can compare apples to apples.
Horizon Organic Sour Cream (one cup per serving):
- 480 calories per 1 cup (400 calories from fat)
- 8 grams protein per 1 cup
Now the difference becomes quite apparent.
- 120 calories vs. 480 calories per 1 cup
- 23 grams protein vs. 8 grams protein per 1 cup
Lower calories, more protein, same great taste (if you like this sort of thing), Greek Yogurt seems to be the winner for any runner, athlete, or person concerned about their caloric intake.
I currently have only used Greek Yogurt as a topping so I am not completely sure how it will work in a cooked dish/meal but next time we make our chicken enchiladas we will let you know how it turns out.
Have you tried or used Greek Yogurt as a sour cream substitute for a topping or in a cooked meal? What did you think of it?
Be active – Feel the buzz!

I'm an ASE certified master technician with over 15 years of professional experience. I've worked at domestic dealerships and own my own repair business, and currently teach auto repair to vocational students. My specialties are diagnostics and electrical work. I bring a wealth of expertise to every job I perform and always strive to get it done right the first time.
Michael is currently not taking new appointments.
Clearwater, FL
Mike was great! He was on time and very friendly. The oil change was done quickly and neatly. If my car needs any more work done in the future I'll be asking for him!
New Port Richey, FL
Michael came ahead of scheduled time and finished quickly. He installed the starter and cleaned up everything when he was finished. Would definitely recommend him to friends.
New Port Richey, FL
What a great service... On time! Friendly, professional, Fair price... I work on my vehicles most of the time but this one was a little to much.iam glad I called , I will be using this Service again..
Tampa, FL
Great guy. Fixed my issue really quick and went on his way. I would prefer to use Mike over anybody else. First interaction with the site in general went really well.
Holiday, FL
Excellent !!! Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. Kept me informed on his arrival time to the minute. Hopefully I will not need his services in the future but if I do I will ask for Mike.
New Port Richey, FL
What a pleasure! Michael was on time and UNDER BUDGET! I was going to have the brake pads replaced, but, Michael informed me that I didn't need them. I just bought this car and am not used to the brakes. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity displayed by this young man . I highly recommend Michael Fink. He will now be my personal mechanic from now on. Thanks again Michael, see you in 3500 miles.
Tampa, FL
Michael was great to work with. He reached out to let me know he was running a little behind schedule, arrived, and took care of everything. What an amazing experience compared to going to a traditional auto shop where they try to up-sell and scare you the entire time.
Land O Lakes, FL
Diagnosed in minutes. Very personable young man with thorough knowledge of his profession. Took Mike very little time to put in the new starter. Cranked like a champ. Next time I have a problem with my vehicles, I will for certain ask for Mike.
Tampa, FL
the first mechanic sent to me was very personable but in the end didn't fix the problem with my car. The second mechanic however was in short time able to discover the problem and fix it at small cost. the company was good about the whole thing kept in touch and didn't charge the inspection cost because of the problem with the first mechanic. I am satisfied.
Tampa, FL
What a refreshing experience. I had just about given up on mechanics/mechanic shops and here shows up a very punctual, honest guy who took the time to explain everything to me. Did not try to up sale or say other things needed to be fixed. I can't say enough about this individual, very professional. I now have a reliable mechanic to help me out.
Tampa, FL
Michael was awesome. He helped get the car to start, despite the limited space I was able to provide, and was able to diagnose a bad ignition coil that wasn't showing up in the car's log. I was able to replace that and get the car to start. Thanks again!
Palm Harbor, FL
I owned a auto repair shop for 17 years. I would hire Michael,- my retired owners opinion. This is my first experience and I am happy with the job, his cleanliness, his professional attitude and overall it was a great experience. Thanks Michael.
Tampa, FL
Michael was great! He called as soon as I booked the appointment. Called again when he was on his way. And he was completely thorough and honest. As he checked everything he explained what he was doing (it helps that he's also a teacher at hcc). He saved me tons of money (Firestone gave me a long list of things I didn't need). Forget all those other places that just want to make a buck. I'm sticking with this guy.
Wesley Chapel, FL
Mike did a great job when servicing my daughters car. He has the knowledge, tools and customer friendly drive that is missing today. I would recommend Mike to all customers in the area.
Tampa, FL
Michael is awesome! This is our first experience using this website and I was a little weary about it because I had never used or heard of it before. The guy on the phone who took my request was super nice and answered all my questions. The text messages and emails are very helpful and courteous. Micheal is so nice, he arrived on time, and he got the job done super fast. We love Micheal and we will ask for him again the next time we need something. There was also an extra part that he needed to change and he didn't add it to the bill since it was just an extra part he had. Thank you Michael! I will be using this service again!
Clearwater, FL
This was my very first time that I have used a company like yours. I was very impressed by how well Michael Fink acted during the whole appointment. There was never a time that I felt overwhelmed, and the amount of money that I saved by using your company "Your Mechanic" astronomically surprising. I will definitely use your company for services in the future. Thank very very much, Nathan Williams
Land O Lakes, FL
This was a great service and so effortless. I would recommend this service without hesitation, and would consider using it again for me and my family.
New Port Richey, FL
This was my first experience using yourmechanic.com and, thanks to Mike, I am very happy with the results. Mike arrived right when he said he would and well within the window provided when I scheduled the appointment. Mike did an inspection on a 2000 Corvette that I was considering buying at a dealer in New Port Richey Florida. He was very professional and worked very well with the salesperson at the dealer and completed the inspection within the timeframe he had provided. He spotted many things that I would have never seen and although I had some concerns of my own just from my own observations several of the items noted by Mike in his report were serious enough that I chose not to purchase the car. Thank you Mike!!
Clearwater, FL
WOW! Mike is awesome. If you don't know how difficult it is to get the plugs out of a F-150 5.4L XLT, then look it up. He managed to get all 8 plugs out without breaking one. He is the utmost professional, friendly, and really knows his trade. In our conversations, I learned he is actually an Automotive Service Technology instructor at Hillsborough Community College. Don't hesitate to let this guy help you out!!!! THANKS, MIKE!!!! One of the best car repair experiences that I have ever had!!!!!!!!
Safety Harbor, FL
Wonderful young man, hard working and knowledgeable, got right to work and did a great job!! Looks like I have a new mechanic. Highly recommend this mechanic.
Land O' Lakes, FL
Easy to make an appointment after getting a competitive instant quote. Tech arrived on time after verifying appointment by phone, Completed work quickly and left the area as clean as it was upon arrival.
Tampa, FL
I was very impressed with Michael's professionalism, skill and courtesy. I so appreciated his honesty in informing me that an expensive repair was unnecessary. He completely put me at my ease. Very happy to to know about Your Mechanic being available in my area and I will enthusiastically recommend your services to friends and neighbors.
Land O' Lakes, FL
Michael is professional, friendly and honest. He called to confirm the service I needed. He arrived early and finished quickly. I highly recommend Michael and his knowledge and skills. He will take care of you!!!
Tampa, FL
My first experience with YourMechanic and I'll definitely use again. No complaints, he was early and got the job done much faster and professionally than I could have. Well worth the money and the convenience is a huge plus. I've already recommended the service to others and will request Michael again when I need something else done.
Tampa, FL
Mike was running late and called me ahead of time to let me know that he will be 1 hr late but he arrived earlier than that. Excellent work done on changing the rotors and brakes. I had a Amazon Local voucher which didn't work as expected. Need more clarity on usage of vouchers if your are offering it.
Tampa, FL
Although my car's system status indicated that the brake pads had to be replaced, Michael discovered that the sensor wire was severed and only needed it to be replaced. Saved me a few bucks. He could have replaced the pads, but chose to do the right thing. Good job Michael!
Odessa, FL
This is the second time we've had Mike come out to fix our Jeep (for different issues). I continue to be impressed with his expertise, professionalism and ability to get the issues resolved quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.
Land O Lakes, FL
Michael has worked on my car and my wife's car and has done a terrific job. He knows what he's doing. I have been recommending him to family members.
Zephyrhills, FL
Michael was everything you wanted in a mechanic. He was on time, professional, and honest. We will be requesting Michael on all future repairs. Thank you!!!
Land O' Lakes, FL
Exceptional service!! My wife's brakes were squeaking on our 2012 Jeep Liberty, so we scheduled to have both front and rear brakes done for $249, which was $150 less than the quotes I got from garages. Honestly, I was skeptical of the service. I half expected to be charged once more once the mechanic got to our house. However, Mike showed my that my front brakes were still good, and he did not replace them or charge us--he only charged us $124 TOTAL to come out to our house, replace the rear brakes, and inspect the front brakes! He even threw in a free tire rotation!! In addition, he was on time, very professional, and finished in less than an hour. This service is awesome--I am recommending Mike Fink and Yourmechanic.com to all of my friends!! This was hands-down the best experience I have ever had getting a car serviced. Thanks Mike!!
Our service team is available 7 days a week, Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 5 PM PST, Saturday - Sunday 7 AM - 4 PM PST.

A quick question.
In what way did the MCSA test help your attendance at school ?
The state of Washington is implementing the Certificate of Mastery as one of
the requirements for a high school diploma starting in 2008. At the rate they
are going we should expect to see no more than 60 % of those completing high
school getting a diploma and more likely it will be about 40 %.

text: Blog Details Rinse and spit.....HURRY UP! Author : gail weisman Published Date 12/24/2014 0 Comments Share this post Easy. Fast. Non-Invavsive. Affordable. Specific. Sensitive. These adjectives are proven, true descriptors of a point-of-care, rinse-and-spit oral cancer screening test that has already completed clinical trials and is under development for dental practices and public-health facilities.Here's the 30,000-foot view (if you want a deep dive and lots of science, click here): You take a swig of the special rinse, swish it around for few seconds, and expectorate into the appropriate receptable (i.e., spit into a cup). In goes a test strip, which will quickly change color if it senses certain levels of proteins associated with the early-onset of oral cancer ? typically before a lesion is visually detected with a screening aid.The simplicity, low cost, and immediacy have huge implications, evidenced in press materials coming from the product's licenser, Vigilant Biosciences. The lead refers to the test as capable of early detection of oral cancer "across a racially and ethnically diverse population.? Initially I was taken aback by that claim. But delving further, I understood, with clarification from the test's principal investigator Elizabeth Franzmann, M.D., Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine .?Since minority patients and those of low socioeconomic status suffer disproportionately from this disease, results of the study show that an easy to administer, noninvasive and inexpensive test can provide patients with limited access to care ready means to early intervention and screening.?So.....this is big. Rather than waiting for even the earliest symptoms, high-risk individuals have a truly early and simple screening, risk-assessment, and monitoring device.Apparently, though, we'll be waiting until late 2014 or even 2015 for a launch, according to Vigilant predictions based on FDA approval times. I just want to say HURRY UP!!!!

EbonyLife Films today released the official trailer for its highly acclaimed feature film, Fifty. The movie stars Ireti Doyle, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Omoni Oboli and Nse Ikpe-Etim. Fifty is directed by Biyi Bandele and Executively Produced by Mo Abudu.
The trailer is a sneak peek into this tender but unflinching exploration of love and lust, power and rivalry, life and loss in twenty-first century Lagos. The four lead characters, six-inch heels, partying hard and loving strong, with courage and fortitude, navigate life's unending curveballs.
Earlier in the week, The British Film Institute (BFI) unveiled the programme for the 2015 London Film Festival. Clare Stewart, Festival Director, presented this year's rich and diverse selection of films and events including Fifty, which has been selected under the 'Love Category'. Fifty is the only Nigerian title and one of five African titles to screen at the Festival.
The production is Mo Abudu's quest to showcase African women coming of age, loaded with increasingly similar aspirations and dilemmas faced by their contemporaries everywhere, while yet navigating unresolved traditions and obligations.
Set in Lagos, a city of disproportionate and breathtaking contrasts, Fifty celebrates the pulse and energy of this fast developing metropolis and explores the diversities and complexities of its colourful people through the lenses of its women.
Amanda Nevill, Chief Executive Officer, BFI during her opening remarks declared this year's festival theme as "The Year of the Strong Woman"; a fitting theme for FIFTY, a riveting exploration of love and lust, power and rivalry, seduction and infidelity.
Mo Abudu, Biyi Bandele, and one of the movie's lead cast members, Nse Ikpe-Etim, were all present at BFI's announcement.
FIFTY will have its Festival premiere on Saturday, 17th October 2015, at the Vue 7 Cinema, London, and a special grand Nigerian premiere on the 13th of December 2015at The Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

I have no record of Sarah or Sally Nokes. On the same day as my Mary Ann Nokes married John Fadden at Highgate, a John Bulson married Mrs. Eliza Nokes. The ceremonies were conducted by the same individual. Perhaps Eliza was a sister-in-law of Mary Ann Nokes. There was a William Nokes of Highgate who was convicted of smuggling on Lake Champlain (Ship Black Snake).Other than these individuals, I have not surfaced much information on Nokes individuals in Franklin County.Sorry I cannot be of more help to you.

Buon giorno!
How Antipasto di Melanzane e Peperoni came to My Italian Dish:
Not long ago, Chick, a cycling friend of my husband Tom, asked if I knew about an extraordinary Eggplant and Peppers dish that he had experienced in Sovana, Italy. Chick, an avid cyclist, is naturally concerned about eating healthy foods that at the same time give him the energy to pedal on and pedal fast! This is one of those dishes. Chick mentioned that he and his group enjoyed this so much while visiting Sovana, that they asked the servers at the restaurant to please continue to bring more of it to the table. See the photo of Chick enjoying a splendid moment dining in Italy during a break from riding.
This "mysterious" dish had been in his mind every since. When he asked me about it, I was immediately intrigued as I knew little of Sovana. However, the dish he described was somewhat familiar in ingredients. Fortunately, he also provided a clear photo of the half eaten platter which offered a good view of the basics. I decided to accept the challenge, and I will be ever-grateful to Chick for bringing it to my attention. Besides, this kind of stuff just "makes my merry go round" or whatever!
To get a feel for the region and cuisine of the area, I first researched Sovana as I knew little about it. Sovana is a very small village in the province of Grosseto in the heart of Tuscany and near the Lazio region. It is not usually considered to be on the "beaten path" of most tourists, as it is tiny and rural with the open Tuscan terrain so classic and frequently photographed and painted . However, there is much history there. The village dates back to Etruscan times and is known for its tombs and the frescoes of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore. It is also said to be the birthplace of Pope Gregory VII.
After much research and pondering, I took to the kitchen with my newly starched Linda's Italian Table apron to attempt re-creation of this splendid dish that I call Antipasto di Melanzane e Peperoni. Chick described the flavors and ingredients to me which really helped. Let's see…a saute of eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, olive oil, maybe parsley. It reminded me of two dishes my parents, Loretta and Attilio, used to make. One was a simple dish of peppers and oil served in antipasti – usually cold or room temperature. The other which my father more often made called for the addition of sausage – the very classic Sausage and Peppers – served hot with crusty bread. While I wanted to remain true to the dish Chick described , I landed somewhere in between the dishes that were familiar to me as well.
The resulting recipe provided for Tom and me one of those perfect late afternoon fall lunches On the Patio that Tuscany has made famous – sunshine, crisp air, a balmy breeze, good wine, and simple yet memorable food. The added benefit here is that this dish is nutritious and vegetarian. There is very little fat in this dish, and the fat used is olive oil which provides its own benefits. On that lovely afternoon, it offered the perfect light course. The planets were aligned indeed!
I decided that this could be a perfect antipasto or even a side dish to meat – to be served hot, warm, or room temperature. It also occurred to me that the dish would be more flavorful if the vegetables were roasted first – HEALTHY – and would provide an opportunity for a fun and easy tutorial for roasting your own peppers. By roasting the peppers first, you bring a slightly smoky flavor to the dish which will give it an added level of flavor. You can also roast them ahead if you wish. The roasted peppers will also be more tender because you remove the skins. Roast your own peppers, and it is not likely you'll want to buy the jarred ones too often again! It is EASY and just takes a few minutes. There are several ways to roast the peppers from using a blow torch to holding them over an open flame on a gas stove. The method described below is SO EASY, can be used to roast and skin peppers for any dish, and requires no more equipment than your broiler. You will be amazed at the simplicity of this procedure.
We will also roast the eggplant which will again enhance its flavor. Also, eggplant tends to act as a sponge when frying, and roasting it first will eliminate the need for so much oil. You will be happy with this dish! It can be used in different ways, and you will see how easy it is to roast peppers. This antipasto is light, yet buttery tasting – without actually adding butter – and so delicious. I have added just a touch of fresh lemon juice to balance the flavors with a little acidity. This addition, I feel, is important. Aside from balance, the lemon adds complexity and freshness. Don't you agree that a crusty bread merits a very necessary invitation to this party for dipping into the luscious sauce? Mmmmm. This recipe is full of nutrients and ALL VEGGIE! TROPPO BELLA!
Let's begin!
4 peppers – one of each color: green, yellow, red, orange
Olive oil for brushing
Arrange the 4 peppers whole on a baking sheet – brush with olive oil on all sides.
Place pan in oven under broiler as close as you can get to the broiler without touching it.
When one side starts to blotch and blacken, using tongs turn the peppers and blacken each side. See photo. Watch them carefully, and do not let peppers get too black or scorch. Results are rapid. Don't walk away. This is not a time to call your best friend to brag that you are roasting your own peppers. FOCUS!
When finished, using tongs, place the peppers in a bowl and quickly cover tightly with plastic wrap for 15 minutes. This will steam the skins and make removal easy.
Peel all of the skins off the peppers. They will slide off easily. Assist with a fork if needed.
Remove the stem from each pepper – this will practically fall off. Scrape the seeds off with a fork. You don't want to see seeds in this dish.
Cut the peppers into large pieces- 2-3 inches. Do not chop in small pieces. See photo.
Set aside.
1 Med.-Large Eggplant – skinned & sliced, ready for pressing (see below)
Olive oil for brushing
Kosher Salt
Slice lengthwise in 1/2 in. thick slices – usually 4-6.
Then press the eggplant for a couple of hours as described in instructions in my post for Pasta Alla Norma <(Click to link directly to this post) This dish is sweet and you do not want any bitterness to detract from the sweet buttery flavor.
After pressing, place eggplant slices in pan and brush with oil. Sprinkle with a little Kosher salt. Roast at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Turn once halfway through.
Cut eggplant into large pieces.
2 tbsp. oil
3 cloves garlic sliced lengthwise
2 1/2 c. Sliced Baby Bella or Cremini Mushrooms ( these give an earthier flavor)
Roasted Peppers
Roasted Eggplant
3/4 c. White Wine
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Oregano (2 tsp if dried)
1/2 c. Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley
1 tsp Kosher Salt or to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
Fresh chopped basil for garnish
Saute garlic in oil. When just becomes golden, add mushrooms and saute til just tender.
Add eggplant, peppers, wine, lemon and herbs, salt, pepper at med. high. Stir occasionally and let wine cook down. A lovely sauce should remain. If you "must" add butter, this would be the time – but only a tablespoon. I find it rich, delicious, and buttery without the added fat.
Garnish with fresh basil.
Don't forget the crusty bread and a lovely crisp white wine of your choice. I would suggest a Pinot Grigio – crisp and cold – ON THE PATIO!
Isn't it gorgeous? This is so easy, and you will have created a beautiful and authentic dish with so many uses and much versatility. You can serve this warm or cold as an antipasto, first course, or side dish. Try something different by adding roasted zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, butternut squash, and/or roasted potatoes – even sweet potatoes. Serve it over roast chicken – so many options – all good for you. Buon Appetito!
