For the past few weeks I've been working on a new project that has left me little time for cooking. (On the bright side, that project involves dumplings and will be revealed soon!) In the meantime, I thought this would be a good opportunity to update a recipe for sweet and sour pork that I first shared about 5 years ago.
Since 2008 I've made this multiple times, and retested it over and over for my cookbook. It's the best I've found for making crispy pork that's reminiscent of takeout without all the grease and gloppiness. I hope you enjoy it!
I grew up with two kinds of sweet and sour pork. Like any American child living in close proximity to a Chinese takeout, I ate a good amount of ping pong ball-sized pork laced with red food coloring. At home, my mother would also prepare her version, using bone-in chunks of pork flavored with a subtler orange-vinegar sauce.
In Beijing, I once took a home-style cooking class in which the teacher revealed that her secret ingredient for sweet and sour pork, also what "the better restaurants in Beijing use", was a bottle of locally produced ketchup. Why not the American brand Heinz? Too sweet.
Sweet and sour pork is thought to have originated in Guangdong province. But now that the Cantonese have flung themselves afar, each place they have landed has its own local variation. I'm sure Canada, the UK, Austalia, and other immigration hot spots have slightly different sweet and sour composites.
The version I made today is Cantonese "gulou yuk" by way of the American suburb, and polished with an aesthete's mindset. Instead of tougher, fatty cuts of meat with the possibilty of bone, I use lean pork tenderloin, easier to chew and more convenient to eat while concentrating on Daily Show reruns. The cornstarch coating is thin enough for the sweet and sour flavors to seep into the meat. I prefer using fresh pineapple, but if you like your dish sweeter, use canned pineapple and reserve some of the can juices to add to the sauce in place of fresh pineapple juice.
Sweet and Sour Pork
Serves 4 as part of a multi-course meal
- 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups peanut or vegetable oil for frying, plus 1 tablespoon for stir-frying
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 cup fresh or canned bite-size pineapple chunks
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons fresh pineapple juice, or juice from the canned pineapple, or substitute orange juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Special equipment: Instant-read oil thermometer
- Prepare the batter for marinating the pork: In a medium bowl, stir together the eggs, cornstarch, and flour. The batter should be liquidy enough to coat the pork. If the batter looks too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and stir again. Add the pork and stir gently to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the water, ketchup, pineapple juice, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat the peanut oil in a wok until it registers 350 degrees F on an instant-read oil thermometer. Working in 2 or 3 batches, add the first batch of pork cubes and fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Remove any excess bits of batter from the oil with a slotted spoon or fine-mesh strainer. Continue frying the rest of the pork.
- Transfer the oil to a heat-proof container. (It will take about 1 hour to fully cool, after which you can transfer it to a container with a tight lid to dispose of it.) Wipe up any food remains in the wok with paper towels, being careful not to touch the metal directly with your hands.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the wok or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until just aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the pineapple and the sauce and stir to coat the vegetables. Let ehs auce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the pineapple to become tender (about 1 minute for canned pineapple.) Return the pork to the wok and toss until well-coated with the sauce. Transfer to a plate and serve.

A SCUM. Avatar belonging to Salford Smid (Whose main is Smidster in SCUM.) died to a PL supercarrier fleet in SCUM's home system of Kinakka. According to a PL hictor, it was seen drifting out of the pos, so they called for PL to get formed to drop on it, and had hics ready with a warp-in.
Killmail can be found by clicking the image above.
SCUM. had bridged a battleship fleet to a system where they were sieging a POCO for the last few days, at which time the titan started to drift out of the POS. According to the same Hictor pilot, Smidster had apparently safelogged his titan before it drifted out of the pos and died. But as of right now, no one knows if that's true or not. I assume if it's true, a petition has been made to CCP already, and we'll see what their response on this matter is. But past that, it was a no risk drop since the Titan was AFK at the time of death.
Post will be updated when more information is available.

Meet Millie Bobby Paul. Or at least that's what the breakout star of "Stranger Things," Millie Bobby Brown, will be going by if you ask fellow TV star Aaron Paul and his wife, Lauren.
After the "Breaking Bad" alum stated his admiration for the talented young actress, going as far to say he wanted to adopt Millie into his family, the trio finally met over dinner.
On Thursday, Lauren Paul shared a photo of the newfound friends on Instagram, writing, "It's official," adding the hashtags, "#milliebobbypaul #firstfamilyphoto #happyholidayslovethepauls."
The 12-year-old Brit, who played Eleven on the Netflix hit, shared her own snapshot from the evening, captioned, "Had a wonderful evening with Aaron and Lauren! love my #fakeadoptedparents"
So, how did Millie end up smack dab in the middle of one of Hollywood's most adored couples?
Winona Ryder &Millie Bobby Brown on Stranger Things Success
Earlier this month, Paul interviewed Brown for a celeb-to-celeb chat via Elle magazine. A self-proclaimed superfan of the actress, Paul couldn't help but gush over their time together when he spoke to Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show" last week.
"I was terrified," he said of his assignment. "She's the best...But I was so terrified. She was on a family vacation in Spain and I was like, 'I've got to make this good'...She gets on the phone with her cute little accent...She's far more articulate than I and I was terrified."
"My wife and I said that we'd want to adopt her...she said that we could," Paul said.
The Emmy winner also promoted the interview with yet another heart-warming message that surely would've made any budding actor like Brown blush.
"Had the absolute pleasure to interview the brilliant, articulate and absolutely adorable @milliebobby_brown the other day," he wrote on Instagram. "She of course exceeded all of my expectations. If you have seen Stranger Things then you know how amazing this young lady is. If you haven't seen the show you need to get on that as soon as possible. Millie, you're the best..."
Luckily for the Pauls, "Stranger Things" was just renewed for a second season. More opportunities for Millie to bond with her "fake adopted parents," guaranteed.

Screen icon Audrey Hepburn is back onscreen in a new ad for chocolate - 20 years after the "Funny Face" actress passed away.
Using state of the art CGI technology, Hepburn appears posthumously in a commercial spot for U.K. chocolate brand Galaxy.
In the clip which is set during the 1950s on Italy's Amalfi coast, a young Hepburn is seen seated on a commuter bus that is stuck in traffic due to an over-turned fruit cart. As the Oscar-winning song "Moon River" - the theme to perhaps her most famous film, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" - plays in the background, Hepburn eyes a handsome stranger in a convertible Mercedes that has pulled alongside.
In the vein of classic Hollywood romance, Hepburn ditches the bus for the proffered ride from the handsome and mysterious driver.
Hepburn's sons control her estate and authorized the use of her image for the spot, according to The Independent. Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti issued a press release saying their mother would be "proud" of the advertisement, adding that she "often spoke about her love of chocolate and how it lifted her spirit".

Soft and comfy, the multiple straps make it a little more secure, but not very durable.
- Comfort
- Look
- Durability
These flip-flops are comfortable and look great with the multiple straps! Not super durable, but good for wearing around urban environments.
These are by far the best sandals I have ever tried.
Use: everyday
Break-in Period: none necessary, 1-2 weeks til molded to your feet
Price Paid: $20
These are by far the best sandals I have ever tried. I wear them every day it's warm enough. They mold to your feet and provide just the right balance of support and softness. The straps hug them to your feet.
I have worn them on short day hikes, but I do not recommend using these for a hard core hike. Being a flip-flop style sandal they would not offer your feet enough protection.
Where to Buy
$11.73 - $25.00
MSRP: $24.00 (women's)

Up Ye Mighty Nation
On September 20th, we will put thousands more in the streets in Jena, to demand justice for Mychal Bell. This time the demand for justice will resonate throughout the land.
[Guest Commentary]
Jena, Louisiana makes it even clearer that racism and its systemic aggression against Black Americans continues to grow in this country.
In New York, we put a thousand people in the streets, in a march down Fifth avenue, to demand justice for Sean Bell.
On September 20th, we will put thousands more in the streets in Jena, to demand justice for Mychal Bell. This time the demand for justice will resonate throughout the land.
Called for by Detroit City Councilman Kwame Kenyatta and activist radio personality Bob Law of New York, a national coalition for justice has formed asking all Black Americans to stand in solidarity with the Jena 6, The Katrina International Tribunal and the many others fighting for justice in Louisiana.
The convictions of the six Black youngsters in Jena have been thrown out by a state appeals court that ruled that Mychal Bell who was 16 at the time of his arrest should not have been tried as an adult.
The Third Circuit Court of appeals actually ruled however that the case "remains exclusively in juvenile court." Our concern is that the racist double standard remains in tact allowing whites to commit acts of aggression against Blacks with immunity, while Black youngsters must be unjustly imprisoned and still stand trail.
The National Coalition For Justice stands today in solidarity with the thousands marching in Jena, and with those gathering at court houses and City Halls in city's around the country including St Louis, Kansas City, New York, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Newark, and more, all occurring at 12 noon today September 20, the day Mychal Bell was scheduled to be sentenced for a bogus second degree murder conviction.
We stand in solidarity with Blacks nationally calling on the mayor of each American city, as well as everyone with a national voice and influence, to publicly denounce the judicial farce taking place in Jena, Louisiana, and that the nations city councils follow the lead of Cambridge, Maryland and Detroit, Michigan and pass resolutions in the interest of justice, calling for the dismissals of all charges against the Jena 6, not just another trial in juvenile court, and we call on the corporations in Louisiana that manufacture among other things Tabasco, and Louisiana hot sauce, and are the recipients of millions of Black consumer dollars, to denounce the injustice and blatant racism in Jena Louisiana, and indeed throughout the state of Louisiana. most notably New Orleans ninth ward. We appeal to these influential corporations since some communities have already begun to say, no justice no profit.
In allowing the justice system to run its course while Mychal Bell sat in prison the so called justice system actually ran off course. Enough is Enough. We draw the line against racism and injustice here and now.
To be in touch with the National Coalition for Justice, go to cfjustice.com or call 718 636-1967

The Juju UI team has been hard at work making it even easier for you to get started with Juju. We've got a new tool for everyone that is appropriately named Juju Quickstart and when you combine it with the power of Juju bundles you're in for something special.
Quickstart is a Juju plugin that aims to help you get up and running with Juju faster than any set of commands you can copy and paste. First, to use Quickstart you need to install it. If you're on the upcoming Ubuntu Trusty release it's already there for you. If you're on an older version of Ubuntu you need to get the Juju stable ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/stable
sudo apt-get update
Installing Quickstart is then just:
sudo apt-get install juju-quickstart
Once you've got Quickstart installed you are ready to use it to deploy Juju environments. Just run it with `juju-quickstart`. Quickstart will then open a window to help walk you through setting up your first cloud environment using Juju.
Quickstart can help you configure and setup clouds using LXC (for local environments), OpenStack (which is used for HP Cloud), Windows Azure, and Amazon EC2. It knows what configuration data is required for each cloud provider and provides hints on where to find the information you'll need.
Once you've configured your cloud provider, Quickstart will bootstrap a Juju environment on it for you. This takes a while on live clouds as this is bringing up instances.
Quickstart does a couple of things to make the environment nicer than your typical bootstrap. First, it will automatically install the Juju GUI for you. It does this on the first machine brought up in the environment so that it's co-located, which means it comes up much faster and does not incur the cost of a separate machine. Once the GUI is up and running, Quickstart will automatically launch your browser and log you into the GUI. This saves you from having to copy and paste your admin secret to log in.
If you would like to setup additional environments you can re-launch Quickstart at any time. Use juju-quickstart -i to get back to the guided setup.
Once the environment is up Quickstart still helps you out by providing a shortcut to get back to the Juju GUI running. It will auto launch your browser, find the right IP address of the GUI, and auto log you in. Come back the next day and Quickstart is still the fastest way to get back into your environment.
Finally, Quickstart works great with the new Juju charm bundles feature. A bundle is a set of services with a specific configuration and their corresponding relations that can be deployed together via a single step. Instead of deploying a single service, they can be used to deploy an entire workload, with working relations and configuration. The use of bundles allows for easy repeatability and for sharing of complex, multi-service deployments. Quickstart can accept a bundle and will deploy that bundle for you. If the environment is not bootstrapped it will bring up the environment, install the GUI, and then deploy the bundle.
For instance, here is the one command needed to deploy a bundle that we've created and shared:
juju-quickstart bundle:~jorge/mongodb-cluster/1/mongodb-cluster
If the environment is already bootstrapped and running then Quickstart will just deploy the bundle. The two features together work great for testing repeatable deployments. What's great is that the power of Juju means you can test this deployment on multiple clouds effortlessly. For instance you can design and configure your bundle locally via LXC and, when satisfied, deploy it to a real environment, simply by changing the environment command-line option when launching Quickstart.
Try out Quickstart and bundles and let us know what you think. Feel free to hop into our irc channel #juju on Freenode if you've got any questions. We're happy to help.
Make sure to check out Mat's great YouTube video walk through as well over on the Juju GUI blog.

Charging in a non-secure location
Charging in a non-secure location
I think it 'locks' into the port when it's charging, and can't be removed unless the fob is present.
That's correct. See p18 of the owner's manual.
It's actually a very interesting topic that has spawned one of my favorite threads on these forums:
Sign in the window: Danger! High Voltage!
1 the cable locks in place.
2 I bought a cheap and easy heavy plastic locking gizmo that works by driving a tire onto it with channels underneath to hold/ secure any cable. It is made a fellow Tesla owner. Search for it in the teslamotorsclub.com
3 the cable price that you reported is too high. Recheck your price. However it is currently made out of unobtainium. They would likely rush one to you if you claim theft but currently you can't get a second one.
What about the case where you have to lock the power outlet?
We live in an apartment complex and will have the electricity consumed from the outlet be charged (pun intended) to us by including it along with our electricity bill.
In this case, is there a way to block access to this outlet? We just want to prevent others from freeloading (similar to Wi-Fi signals) at our expense.
~ Prash.
Prash, Getting Amped,
The 240 volt and 120 volt outlets have a cover plate that can be removed and replaced with what is called a "foul weather" cover. Here is an example of one for 120 VAC
Cost is under 9 dollars. You should be able to fit it or adapt it to allow for a small padlock. These types of covers close over your plug end, so when locked will prevent the plug being removed from the wall. They are also suitable for outdoor use, for homeowners that are considering putting an outlet out on the drive.
Questions? Let me know.
You are welcome. If you do decide to get a "Tesla Only" parking sign, you might want to check Cafe Press. Basicaly, just upload your design, and it shows you what your design looks like on a variety of products, shirts, mugs, postcards, signs, ect. You can order a quantity as small as 1, deliver is quick and the price is quite reasonalble.
@firstname.lastname@example.com, thanks a lot buddy.
@Getting Amped, the installation is not yet done but it will most likely be a 240V line. And I was worried about having other electric cars charge using our outlet.
~ Prash.
You're welcome. Since you haven't had it installed, pick up a cover and give it to the electrican. Won't be a cost, since he's got to put a trim plate on it anyway. You're in Silicon Valley, I believe? Should be easy to get.
One comment...
The 240V charging plug on the Model S charging cable is quite large. The photo shows the cover will only prevent unauthorized use but will not protect the cable from being extracted from the outlet. I don't know if anything exists that will cover the large 240V plug securely.
dahtye, once the smartphone app is there, it will ring an alarm when the car is unexpectedly disconnected from the grid, and/or the car may be able to send an SMS, even to your "dumbphone" (I doubt that there are any Model S reservation holders that do not use a smartphone, but you never know). Some such solution will become available soon.
I understand that it's probably preferable to stop the cable from being disconnected in the first place, but if you cannot have that, then maybe the being informed in a timely manner is a welcome second-best solution.
Yes, but it would also not prevent someone from taking the 240V conversion adapter. This adapter can be attached to the outlet side of the cable and it locked only by a mechanical button (no electric interlock that I can see).
Not sure what anyone would want with it, but there are strange people about who might think it cool to have (sort of like those people stealing Mercedes hood ornaments).
@jbunn ... au contraire, I live in Boston. About getting it installed by the electrician, I think it is a good idea and I'll take your advice.
~ Prash.
Couple ways around this. Since the cover locks, it would be difficult, but it's open at the bottom. Reduce the size of the opening with plastic attached on the inside of the cover. Or put a cable loop around the plug end, and attach to the padlock tab. To fasten two cables securley together, take two short lengths of steel cable and permanently affix a short piece with a duplex nicropress to the mateing ends of each power cable. Steel cable loop must be small enough to not be able to pass over the electrical plug. Next make a small loop in each steel cable and secure with nicropress clamps. Once the power cables are together, padlock the two free loops together. You can make one up for the other end of the non-Tesla power cable as well. Make it a bit longer, and you can padlock to conduits, posts, or other nearby objects. You can see what a cable clamped with nicopress looks like here; http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bournesropeworks.com/imag...
Remember though, a determined thief will pretty much get though anything you come up with. Padlock something, and he'll bring a bolt cutters. The thing is though that thieves are not by nature ambitious. If they were, they would have bigger targets in mind than your cable. So if it looks like more trouble than it's worth, chances are they will leave it alone. You're just trying to eliminate "crimes of opportunity", and they will move on for easier prey.
Ah yes, that appears would work.
Now, another one that I just realized by reading your post....
I purchased a heavy duty 15 ft extension cord that has NEMA 14-50 at both ends. [I know we aren't supposed to use exension cords, but it does apparently work without voltage loss since the cords wires are very low AWG]. Thinking that someone might want to steal the extension cord, it makes sense that I could use a padlock to lock the Model S charger cord and the extension cord together near where they mate. This would prevent a quick theft of a cord that costs about $70. And I can detach them easily by releasing the lock when I don't need the extension.
BTW, does anyone know why Tesla advises against using an extension cord? IMO, if the wire gauge is big enough, there should be no difference between plugging directly or using the extension cord. The voltage drop in an in home install could be higher than the extension cord - depending on how long the run is from the main panel.
Stranded has the same cross sectional area as solid wire. (One foot of copper stranded uninsulated would also be equal weight as the same lenth of solid copper.) Because stranded wires is not as DENSE however (air between the strands) the wire APPEARS larger. This means that the normal 120VAC drop cord like you might buy at Home depot is a not as robust as the same lenght of 12 gague romex. Voltage drop becomes very noticible.
Voltage drop between the same gague wire for solid and stranded is the same but an extension cord has a much lower ampacity and higher voltage drop that one would exepct based on it's SIZE, leading people to underestimate the cord. Their statement, i think is to discourage casual use of cheap dime store extension cords. If on the other hand you have an 8 gage stranded 4 conductor cord with Nema 14-50 plugs of a reasonable lenght your voltage drop is 1 or 2%. Not bad. We use this type of cord all the time in boating, and I imagine RV folks do as well.
Hope this helps.
Remember that current flows only on the surface of each strand, so the multiplied strands makes them much more efficient than solid.
@Brian H - I thought that was only true at very high frequencies - that is why microwave towers use 'waveguide' (hollow, square cross section tubing) instead of cable. At 50hz I thought most of the cross section of the cable supported electron flow.
Forgot to add - I though the reason for smaller strands was to allow flexibility (at the cost of thicker overall cable diameter as described above)
Electrons repel each other as far from each other as possible. Also why a Faraday cage works. (Ever seen the demos of guys standing right beside Tesla coils, being hit by megazaps? From within flimsy Faraday cages, and nothing touches them.)
In direct current, the charge is evenly distributed through the cross section of the conductor. At high frequencies the "skin effect" becomes noticible where electrons prefer to flow on the outside of the conductor. Microwave frequencies do use wave guides for that reason. But 60 cycles is pretty slow. Residental electricians dont consider the skin effect when determining ampacity because the skin depth is about 8.5 mm, but they do use stranded wire in the larger sizes (smaller gague numbers) for flexibility. Wiring a 200 amp service would be almost impossible with solid wire.
Yes; the magnetic effects of field collapse in AC dominate at high frequencies. I didn't understand or consider that.
Stranded wire lowers losses due to eddy currents.
Extension cord use is also discouraged because of the added contact points, which can corrode, collect dirt, become resistors etc. And how many extension cords can you safely string? 1? 2? 14?
When I put my compressor on 75 feet of 14 gague extension cord, it wont even start, the voltage drop is that bad. I do have a very heavy 10/3 cord of 50 feet, which you can get at home improvement stores. As tiebreaker says, the ends are the weak links. I would use this cord for occasional 120 vac use without reservation though, as its pretty heavy.
As I get ready to bring out the electrician for an estimate, can anyone let me know how long the included charging cable is so that I can start thinking about where the outlet needs to be if I don't want to have to back into the garage? Or, is there an extension cord that anyone here is using on a regular basis for 14-50 that's working reliably?
Extension cords aren't typically rated for continuous use (>3hr). I would imagine if you had a properly sized one, including 25% derating for continuous use, you would be fine. For 110V, if you could get a 20A extension cable you would probably be fine. For 240V, you would probably have to make your own.
A heavy-gauge well constructed extension cord is electrically indistinguishable from in-wall wiring.
A light-gauge or poorly constructed cord will have a higher voltage drop at any given charging current. That voltage drop is converted into heat (voltage drop * charging current = watts of heat) which can be very dangerous if it causes the extension cord to fail. Also, poor quality extension cords may become damaged from foot traffic, weather, etc. compromising the insulation.
Does anybody know what the brick in the mobile power adapter does (other than have green LEDs)? My assumption is that it is a safety device that disconnects the power if the car isn't attached, and it may also contain over-current and ground-fault protection.
If so, then Tesla might also advise against extension cords because the extension attaches upstream of the brick. This would increase the chance of a passer-by coming in contact with a high-power line without these safety features.
The connector is 20' long.
The mobile cable (and HPWC & Supercharger) does lock into the charge port when the car is locked, and thus will not be removable.
However the adapter at the the other end is not locked in place and could be unplugged from the wall and from the mobile cable, even during charging. So you only need to be worried in a black market for adapters. :O
I charge with a J1772 and the adapter. I've noticed that when I disconnect the J1772, the locking mechanism holding the adapter in the charge port unlocks. Unless I pull out the adapter within a few seconds, the lock engages again and the adapter is stuck. Unlocking the doors doesn't release; I have to access the touchscreen to "open the charging port", which once again unlocks the adapter.
The most worrisome thing is that simply disconnecting the J1772 causes the car to unlock the charging port (and adapter), even when you walk up to a locked car without the key fob. Be careful at public charging stations--I'm sure the J1772 adapter isn't cheap.

These no-bake peppermint cheesecakes in a jar are a perfect gift to give and full of that peppermint flavor we crave around the holidays. The best part about these isn't the jar though, it is the, "no baking required," feature that I happen to love the most. This year I wanted to create holiday hostess gifts that would long be remembered, but quickly be used. What could be more memorable or useful than a tiny cheesecake in a jar? The possibilities with this fun food craft are endless. Convert your favorite no-bake cheesecake into a sweet gift and decorate your jar with your favorite craft technique whether it is spray paint, decoupage, or a scrap of fun fabric. These gifts can easily be personalized and will be a fun treat for whoever you might share them with. I guarantee if you made me one of these as a hostess gift, I would have you over and over again…just for that Oreo crust alone! Make a batch of these and keep them on hand for those unexpected occasions where a gift is needed! It also could be a lovely reward for yourself after all of that hard holiday preparation you have been doing. You deserve it. 5.0 from 1 reviews Print No-Bake Peppermint Cheesecakes In A Jar Author: Amy Allen Clark Recipe type: Dessert Prep time: 15 mins Total time: 15 mins Serves: 10 A sweet & simple no-bake cheesecake in a jar that you can give to someone special for the holidays. This is the perfect little hostess gift, teacher gift, or neighbor gift to share! Ingredients 10 Half Pint Ball Jars Cooking Spray 2 cups of chocolate sandwich cookies (approximately 17 cookies) ¼ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 2 teaspoons peppermint extract 2 cups whipping cream, whipped Red food coloring 20 peppermint candies 3 freezer bags 1 rolling pin For decorating jars (optional): Red Spray Paint, Green Grosgrain Ribbon, and Hot Glue Instructions Place your chocolate sandwich cookies in a freezer bag and use a rolling pin to smash the bag of cookies until they become cookie crumbs. Add your melted butter and sugar to the bag and mash the bag in your hands until the three ingredients pull together to create your crust and are well incorporated. Take the lids off of your glass jars and place them on a cookie sheet to contain the mess. Spray each of the jars with cooking spray. Put two spoonfuls of cookie crumbs into each jar and use the back of the spoon or your hands to press the crust into each jar. Slide the cookie sheet of jars back into the freezer to chill while you prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat your cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually pour in a can of sweetened condensed milk until it is smooth. Stir in your peppermint extract and red food coloring, approximately three drops, to achieve a pale pink color. Mix all of these ingredients well. Fold in your whipped cream. Remove your tray of jars from the freezer. Using a standard ice cream scoop, add one scoop of filling to each of your jars. Use the back of a small spoon to smooth the filling on top until it is level and smooth. Remove the wrappers from your peppermint candies. Place the peppermint candies into a double-bagged freezer bag and use your rolling pin to smash these into small pieces to garnish your cheesecakes. Sprinkle the broken peppermints on top of each one. Screw the lids back on your jars and put these back into the freezer. Freeze for two hours or until firm. 2.2.1 How To Decorate Yours Jars: Remove the bands from the jars and set aside. Outside or in a well-ventilated area, spread your jar lids out on newspaper. Shake your spray paint well. Slowly and evenly, spray your spray paint back and forth until all of the lids are covered with the spray paint. Allow these to dry for at least thirty minutes. Plug in your glue gun and allow it to heat up. Tie grosgrain ribbon (any width you desire) into a small bow. Place your spray-painted lids on top of your jars and screw the bands into place. Squirt a tiny dot of hot glue on the back of your bow and place it on top in the center of your lid. Hold it in place for a minute. Sit back and bask in your crafting glory. Looking for more sweet Peppermint Gifts to share? Take a peek at our recipe for Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows, Candy Cane Peppermint Bath Salts, and DIY Peppermint Mocha Coffees you can enjoy or share this holiday season!

A hospital was forced to evacuate a busy accident and emergency department over a bottle of weed killer.
Fire crews were called to University Hospital of North Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent just before 7pm yesterday after a child was brought in suffering from an eye irritation.
Staff called the fire service as a precaution to identify the substance affecting the child and to ensure no hazardous material had been brought into the hospital.
Firefighters, who evacuated the department as a precaution, later identified the source of the irritation to be a domestic weed killer.
Simon Craythorne, station manager with Staffordshire Fire and Rescue service, said the parent of the child had brought the bottle of weed killer into the hospital.
The parent and child were "decontaminated" and the weed killer removed from the hospital.
A spokesman for the hospital said it was standard procedure to evacuate an area when an incident arose involving a questionable substance.

As the federal government gets closer to a possible shutdown tonight, locals can expect some but not a great deal of impact from it.
The House of Representatives and the Senate need to agree on a spending bill by 9:01 p.m. Pacific time zone or the government will begin closing. It would be the first partial government closure in 17 years.
About 800,000 federal employees could be furloughed by the lack of an agreement, including as many as 169,000 from California.
The National Park Service said they will be furloughing 83 employees who work within the federal lands of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The Circle X campground will have to close and campers will have 48 hours to get out.
Also, the National Park Service has been in touch with nervous brides who are getting married this weekend at Paramount Ranch. If there is a shutdown, and, if it lasts until their wedding day, those ceremonies will have to be postponed.
The impact to the region's airports and ports is likely to be minimal.
"Impacts should be little to nothing," said Art Wong, Port of Long Beach spokesman. "It looks like federal law enforcement will not be affected by the shutdown."
The Transportation Security Administration will not be affected by furloughs.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not provide a comment from the agency's field office in Los Angeles. The agency, which inspects shipments imported to the United States, directed a call seeking comment on potential impacts of a shutdown to the Office of Management and Budget.

Daniel: Thanks for your response. The whole issue of appropriate soil fauna/symbiotic associations is quite up in the air with these trees. We purchased them from native settings when they were already quite large and with native soil balls intact - thus I operate under the assumption that the correct fungal/ actinomycete/ bacterial inoculant was present. However, at times past these tree were inoculated with P.t. spores and a brew of Endomycorrhizal species spores. What is your opinion of competitive displacement of native symbiotic flora with the addition of the exogenous ones??? Thanks for all your input!

Haute Skin
I am a makeup artist/skincare specialist/new mommy. I've been doing makeup and working with skincare for close to 15 years. Im now trying to break into the industry from behind the scenes with my own skincare line.
My little boy means the world to me and I want to spend as much time with him as possible (before he gets older and wants to be with his friends..lol)
Running my OWN business would give me that opportunity. Since skincare is my passion there would be nothing better for me than having my own line.
My market would be anyone and everyone who wants to take care of their skin. Young skin, mature skin, pigmented skin, dry skin, oily skin, acne prone skin, sensitive skin, chemically treated skin.
People are always looking for an effective, hip new skincare that looks luxurious yet is still affordable..that would be Haute Skin.
There is a world full of savvy people who know good skincare and who have their favorites already. I happen to be one of those people. I dont expect every single person who buys my products to use the entire line religiously, some might. The idea is to have a few favorites and to incorporate them into their skincare regimen. I can deal with that.
What you should know about Haute Skin:
It is a hybrid line that brings together science and nature so both high tech skin care lovers and botanical/natural skincare lovers will feel good about buying this product.
It is a highly effective line and just as good as the lines out there that are waaayyy overpriced.
It is a very luxurious line but extremely affordable so even savvy shoppers will know they are getting an amazing product for an amazing price.
It is meant to appeal to all people who are concerned with their skin and want to feel confident that they are going to use a product that works.
