Juan Pablo Montoya is confident that he can end his long wait for victory on the oval track in the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
The Columbian was in pole position at Dover until Tony Stewart overtook him with just three laps remaining.
Montoya beat Johnson out of the pits during the final caution period and held the lead for the final restart on Lap 20, but Johnson jumped the restart to take the lead and was black-flagged. He had to serve a pass-through penalty, handing the lead to Montoya with 14 laps remaining.
But Stewart, who had just two top 10 finishes this year, closed on Montoya and finally passed him for the lead with three laps to go.
"I thought it was pretty good, to be honest," Montoya told reporters of his Dover race. "We unloaded really well and we did everything right: we had good strategy, good calls, made the car better and we were patient.
"It's a shame, you know, there at the end, it was way too loose and I just couldn't hold Tony [Stewart] off.
"I've said this before: you have got to start running in top-fives, top-10s, to be able to get wins, to give yourself a shot."
Before that, Montoya was leading at Richmond heading into the final 10 laps before he decided for a change of tyres - eventually finishing fourth.
The 37-year old has two cup wins to his name this year at Sonoma and Watkins Glen but is yet to win on the oval track after victory was snatched away from him twice.
But, after an 18-race absence, Montoya has now finished in the top eight in three of the last five races.
Prior to NASCAR, the Columbian was involved in Formula One from 2001-2006. With Williams and then McLaren he raced 95 times earning seven wins and 30 podiums.
Montoya's first race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series came in 2006 and has raced a total of 230 times. He came 22nd overall last season with 8th place his career best in 2009.

Whilst the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is not yet set in place, it is currently still being talked about. The purpose of this bill is very clear. The means of this new bill, however, is the reason why there is still talk about it. Particularly about how effective this new law will be.
In this article, we will have a more thorough look at the Stop Online Piracy Act. The article will assist in deciding if this new law may end up harming the Howl Online Network that the United States use or not.
The main reason for the law is that this new act will have the ability to react on the world wide web.
It will also be able to react to a wide range of backdoor and thorny copyright problems that exist. Not only this, but this new bill is now also in violation of another law. This law is known as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act was developed in 1998. Since the act was developed, it has determined what the future development of the world wide web industry will be.
The Stop Online Piracy Act supporters are very confident that the purpose of this new bill is to protect businesses. It will also protect the citizens who are residing in the United States. All of these citizens and businesses will be fully protected from all sorts of unsuitable websites that come from other countries throughout the world.
Those who are completely against this new law, make the assumption that it is simply a wholesale total censorship. They say this censorship will come with a very small piece of regulation. This means that this new law will have the ability to regulate the behavior of user's from other countries in different parts of the world.
We all know that internet piracy continues to be an increasing problem. Not only in the United States but in many different countries in the world. A permanent solution to this problem really must be made. Sooner rather than later.
The Stop Online Piracy Act has several points that are sure to have an affect on the world wide web and it's websites. Not only that, but it will also have an affect on the entertainment and retail industries. You can be sure that this new bill will cause many difficulties. Why? Because the legislation that this particular bill has is the ability to permanently remove websites. Not only will the websites be permanently removed, but so will the information that can be found on them.
The SOPA was really designed to have an affect on payment resources. Not only that but all kinds of marketing networks too. For the time being, these are the only things that have been given the all clear from this new law.
The Stop Online Piracy Act will play a major role in future world wide web development. In the mean time, there is no reason why the SOPA should be used. Particularly for the current situation of its field. Stop American censorship.

Shabbat Shirah
January 10, 2014
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, January 10, 2014.
Shabbat Shirah
Traditionally, each Shabbat is referred to by the name of the Torah Portion that is read on that Shabbat. So… this Shabbat is often referred to as "Shabbat Beshallach," since that portion, Beshallach, (Exodus 13:17-17:16) will be read this Shabbat. However… some Shabbatot (plural of Shabbat) are named also by something that happens in the Torah Portion. Beshallach contains the episode of crossing the Red Sea in which we are told: Az yashir Moshe uV'nei Yisrael et HaShirah hazot (Then Moses and the Children of Israel sang this song). The word "song" used in this context is "shirah." Therefore, this Shabbat is called "Shabbat Shirah."
This Shabbat is always in midwinter -- in Eastern Europe, the custom arose that this was a Shabbat in which people went out to scatter seeds, especially kasha (buckwheat) to feed the birds! This custom is connected to another incident in this week's portion: the children of Israel are told to collect Manna, that magical food-like substance that was provided to sustain the children of Israel in the desert. According to an ancient rabbinical legend, even though the Israelites were told NOT to collect it on the Sabbath, there were those who sought to undermine the authority of Moses. The bad guys knew that there would be no manna on the Sabbath, so they went out the night before to put manna which they had collected the day before in the fields. When they brought the other rebels to collect the manna and prove Moses wrong, there was none! The birds had foiled the evil plan by eating up the manna! Therefore, Jews feed the birds on this special day! In fact, the name of the parsha, "BeShaLaCH" is seen as an acronym: B'Shabbat Shirah Le'echol Chitim… On Shabbat Shirah, eat wheat (buckwheat)!
So… why don't you try feeding the birds on this Shabbat? It's a tradition!
Shabbat Shalom!

First-year Germantown Friends boys soccer coach Sam McIlvain hasn't had to start from scratch with his new team, but there was definitely some restructuring to be done due to substantial personnel changes.
Accepting the boys' job after five seasons as head coach of the GFS girls' squad, McIlvain knew he'd be missing seven 2011 team members who had graduated, but at least he figured to have back the starting goalie, who was only a sophomore last year.
Things didn't work out that way, as former keeper Luke Scott decided to pursue his baseball dreams by enrolling at a dedicated diamond academy in Florida, and another player expected to be a member of the junior class contingent this year, promising midfielder Jack Moseley, transferred to another school.
That left the Tigers with just two 11th-graders on the roster, returning player Owen Scott, and new addition Jeremy Middleman.
Fortunately, there is a solid group of seniors, headed by 2012 co-captains Sam Hill-Cristol, the center back, and Will Randall, who has moved up from the defensive unit to become a striker.
"A number of the kids are playing new positions," noted McIlvain. "We had gaps to fill and we're just figuring out the best way to fit the pieces together."
Two other 12th-graders back from last year are center mid Zack Raynor ("Really dependable in the middle," McIlvain says), and goalie Nicolai Solomon ("Very solid so far," according to the coach).
Another experienced senior, forward/mid Sam Conant, is currently working through an injury, and the team's sixth senior, Mazin Blaik, is a new varsity player who will perform in a defensive role.
The defense will also feature sophomore twins Anand and Satya Butler, both of whom saw varsity action in 2011, along with classmates Issac Bushnell and Ben Steinlaus, who are midfielders. Two freshmen are also in the mix for the GFS varsity, mid/forward Felipe Sanz, and left wing Silas Shah.
After two close non-league losses to Penn Charter (2-3) and Episcopal Academy, the Tigers won their league opener last Friday, topping visiting Friends Select, 2-1. Randall, the newly-appointed striker, scored both GFS goals during the first half of the match.
"All things considered, I think the kids are pretty pleased with where we are," McIlvain said.
Talking about his decision to change teams at the school, the new boys' mentor said, "I really enjoyed my experience working with the girls' team, but when I was asked to consider this opportunity [longtime boys' coach Matt Zipin had retired] I knew I had to give it some serious thought. One of the things I enjoy about coaching is helping players develop and grow in the sport, and the boys' program has some kids who have aspirations to play soccer in college."

As the nation tries to understand the tragic events at Newtown, NOVA correspondent Miles O'Brien separates fact from fiction, investigating new theories that the most destructive rampage killers are driven most of all, not by the urge to kill, but the wish to die.

Central Auditory processing disorder (CAPD) is a complex problem affecting about 5% of children. The most common complaints in children with central auditory processing disorder are difficulty listening or focusing when there is background noise, and difficulty understanding and responding to what is said orally. Nemours audiologists have the expertise to diagnose Auditory Processing Disorders in children and provide proven management strategies.
Some children with CAPD may experience challenges with attention, reading or writing, or expressive and receptive language skills. Screening tests may be performed at your child's school or doctor's office, but only an audiologist can diagnose a Central Auditory Processing Disorder.

Nemours audiologists have experience and expertise in the evaluation and treatment of children with (Central) Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), also called Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). Most kids with CAPD do not have a loss of hearing sensitivity, but they do have a hearing problem in the sense that they do not process auditory information normally.
If the auditory deficits aren't identified and managed early, many of these kids will have speech and language delays and academic problems.
Children with auditory processing disorders (APD) experience difficulty analyzing or making sense out of what they hear. They may demonstrate difficulties in speech, language, and/or learning. They may also appear hearing impaired and/or be inattentive, easily distractible, hypersensitive to loud sound, or have difficulty following oral directions.
Frustration may lead to secondary behaviors, including behavioral difficulties (aggression, withdrawal, or impulsiveness) and poor self-concept. These difficulties can be compounded under adverse listening situations like those sometimes found in noisy classroom.
Recent research indicates that many children previously diagnosed with ADD/ADHD actually have auditory processing difficulties. There is not a correlation between auditory processing ability and I.Q., but there is often a discrepancy between I.Q. and achievement.
Since children with CAPD typically have normal hearing, this difficulty will not be picked up during a school hearing screening or even a comprehensive hearing test.
Only audiologists can perform the testing needed to determine if a child has central auditory processing disorder. In fact, an auditory processing problem cannot be completely assessed without the help of an audiologist Evaluation is usually reserved for children 7 years of age and up. Some younger children can be evaluated on a case-specific basis.
The first step is a comprehensive hearing evaluation to insure normal hearing and normal middle ear function. Both hearing loss and middle ear problems can adversely affect auditory processing performance. The auditory processing battery itself generally assesses speech understanding in various situations designed to simulate difficult listening situations that the child typically encounters.
AP testing is administered in a sound booth and generally assesses speech recognition in simulated difficult listening situations. It is for children with normal intelligence and normal hearing, who exhibit difficulties processing auditory information.
As a parent, it's good to know that proven management strategies for central auditory processing disorder exist. If your child is diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder, our audiologists will offer recommendations and/or therapy options related to the specific area of disorder that was seen during testing. In general, management may include teaching of specific compensatory strategies, remediation therapy, and/or management of the listening environment.
At this time, central auditory processing disorder is not categorized as a legally recognized learning disability. This means that your child's school may or may not be able to provide your child with specific therapy or interventions based solely on a diagnosis of CAPD. However, you will be encouraged to work with your child's school to ensure your child has access to the type of listening environment and listening strategies that will be most helpful.

A message from you
I watched Veil of Tears and my heart hurt for all those in desperate situations. With your help, I'd like to contribute to Gospel For Asia's ministry to assist these women in need. God loves widows and orphans, and this will enable them to know that about Him.
Upon becoming a widow in South Asia, a woman is blamed for her husband's death and enters a life of shame. Burdened with the responsibility to care for her children alone, she is often forced into begging or even prostitution.
You donation will help GFA give widows a means of renewable income, like a sewing machine or farm animals. You'll also help with daily essentials, like blankets and water filters.
This support will be given through the local church, giving widows a chance to learn about the love of Jesus Christ.
About Gospel for Asia
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: seeing communities in Asia discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we've found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.

As they had against the Germantown Academy girls exactly a week earlier, the Lions of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy got off to a strong start at Penn Charter in last Tuesday's Inter-Ac hoops showdown, but then saw the opposition recover and eventually prevail. SCH led 17-9 early in the second quarter, but fell behind for good during the third period and lost to the Quakers, 38-34.
The final margin between the teams was a lot closer this time around, four points as opposed to a dozen against GA, but the net result was still the same, as SCH slipped to 6-9 overall and 2-3 in the league, while PC improved to 7-7, 2-2. In between those contests, the Lions had an even more frustrating experience (if possible), losing 40-39 at Notre Dame on a late free throw by the Irish.
At Penn Charter, SCH's Michelle Boggs went inside for the first field goal of the game and senior classmate Sydni Epps followed up with a pair of three-point baskets. PC started off with a trey of its own from senior Danielle Sienko, and another upperclassman, Dianna Thomas-Palmer, added a lay-up to make it 8-5.
Boggs and Thomas-Palmer are both strong 6'1" post players, and there was a lot of muscle at work in the paint. Boggs had an early edge in this battle, but Thomas-Palmer rose up to score a game-high 13 points, along with seven rebounds and two blocks. Surprisingly, she also handled the ball a good deal on the offensive transition, proving sure-handed with the rock.
"Our team goes through Dee," PC coach David Bass said. "She's a big presence; an all-league player in my opinion. We have to make sure she gets touches down low."
SCH still led at the end of the first quarter, 13-9, but Epps already had two personal fouls. Boggs would pick up her second late in the second stanza. A jumper by Lions sophomore Julia Schumacher (starting at point guard in place of injured junior Gianna Pownall) and a score off a rebound by Boggs made it 17-9 early in the second round.
Unfortunately for SCH fans, Boggs (six points, 13 rebounds) would not score again in the game, and it would take the Lions until the end of the afternoon to score their next 17 points.
"They got a lot from their high-low plays early in the game, so we changed some things on defense to try and take that away," said PC's Bass. "They ended up taking a lot of shots from the corners, and the corner shots are tough to make."
When the Lions can't get the ball inside to Boggs on offense, they're usually headed for trouble. The senior (who will play for East Stroudsburg University) rang up 22 points in the Notre Dame game, when the Lions gave perhaps their best complete-game performance this season.
Still, as the first half wound down last Tuesday, the Quakers had only taken three points off of their deficit for a 17-12 tally. With 10 seconds to go, the Lions ignored the well-worn phrase "Don't foul the jump-shooter!"
Charter senior guard Marykate O'Brien made both a three-pointer from the right wing and a free throw tacked onto the play, pulling PC within one point at the intermission, 17-16. That trey, combined with her seven-for-seven free throw shooting, would give O'Brien 10 points for the day.
A lay-up and free throw by Epps (which rounded out her 10-point total) gave SCH a little lift to start the second half, but Thomas-Palmer deposited two jumpers to tie the score at 20-20. After SCH junior Maddi Hinchey (five points) and PC's Sienko (eight points, four rebounds) traded buckets, Thomas-Palmer barreled down the lane to give the Quakers their first lead of the day (24-22) with 1:38 left in the third round.
SCH's Schumacher, who made the most of her starting opportunity with nine points and four assists, stuck a jumper from the foul line to tie the game for a final time. Ayanna Matthews (four points, three steals), a starter for Charter along with eighth-grade classmate Hannah Fox (three points), hit a lay-up, then Thomas-Palmer and O'Brien each made a pair of free throws to close out the period, 30-24.
Two more O'Brien foul shots upped the lead to eight points early in the final frame, but three-pointers by Hinchey and Schumacher kept SCH from falling out of contention. Later on, with 2:22 on the clock, Schumacher was fouled on another three-point attempt, and she canned two of her three tosses to make it a two-point affair, 34-32.
Now in the foul double bonus, Charter had Matthews, Thomas-Palmer, and Sienko each hit one of two shots from the stripe as the clock ticked down to 36 seconds. The foul committed against Thomas-Palmer, with 40 seconds left, was the fifth for the Lions' Epps. At 18 seconds, the final total for SCH went up on the board with two free throws by senior Elana Roadcloud (four points, eight rebounds). Four ticks later, a foul shot by Fox locked in the final score, and on their last possession, the Lions couldn't find the mark on a three-pointer and a lay-up.
As in more than one prior encounter, Springside Chestnut Hill came out with a successful initial strategy, but when the other team countered effectively, the Lions became frazzled and didn't play well together. At Penn Charter, the three SCH players who took the most shots from the floor connected on only six of 36 attempts – less than 17 percent.

Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
We are going to get our asses kicked hard in this next game. The Clips see an opportunity to shluff off that "worst team in the league" aura and hand it over to the Warriors. I think the Nets have looked a lot better than the Warriors over the last decade so they get a reprieve for at least a season or two.

Clipps by 5. W's will play their hearts out but Baron will have a great game. Coaching change will make Clipps better just watch! Baron is so much better when he can run an offense more freely and I read an article today that that's exactly what Kim Hughes intends on letting Baron do!

Three youngsters join parents on the wing in Georgian city
Three young peregrines, raised on a Hawk and Owl Trust nesting platform on the spire of St John's RC Church in Bath, have now all fledged successfully and left the nest.
Having taken their first flights, they are spending their time flitting from roof to roof on nearby houses, building up their strength and flying skills. In the meantime, the adult birds are continuing to bring food to them until the youngsters are ready to start joining their parents in the skies above Bath, developing their hunting skills. This is likely to be over the next few weeks.
So members of the public watching activity from street level should continue to have great views of the peregrines overhead.
The youngsters hatched over Easter weekend and are believed to be this year's first peregrine chicks (known as eyasses) in the UK. The peregrine pair, thought to have been the earliest to breed in 2011, surprised everyone by laying a clutch of eggs by 18 March. It wasn't all plain sailing though, as two of the young had to be rescued by the Hawk and Owl Trust after early flight attempts landed them at ground level near the church.
This was the sixth year in a row that peregrines have successfully bred on the platform, which was put up by members of the Hawk and Owl Trust's Bath & West Wiltshire Group in 2005. A peregrine pair made it their home the following year.
The peregrine, which is the logo of the Hawk and Owl Trust, is the largest falcon resident in the UK. Numbers have increased after being devastated by the effects of organochlorine pesticide poisoning in the 1960s. There are now thought to be 1500 pairs in the UK and although their natural nesting habitat is cliff ledges, over the last decade peregrines have increasingly been breeding on human structures in our cities.

Candles play a huge role in the Jewish religion. Women light Shabbat candles on Friday evening at sundown to welcome in the holy day. We say goodbye to Shabbat, separating the holy day from the weekdays with a Havdalah candle and reciting the Havdalah prayer. Hanukkah time comes around every year and we light candles every night for eight nights commemorating the miracle of the long lasting oil during the time of the Bet Hamikdash. World of Judaica presents an abundance of magnificent looking candles and candlesticks for you to choose from.
Our Shabbat candlesticks come in the most lavish patterns and designs. We have tall silver candlesticks made from nickel and we have silver plated and sterling silver smaller but more intricate ones. We have brightly painted and gold-plated ones. The options are endless and each one is more gorgeous than the next.
We have Hanukkah candles specifically designed for the holiday that fit perfectly into our many Menorahs. Some of our Menorahs are traditionally designed and others & more unique, such as in a tree of life design. Pick out your favorite style and give it as a Hanukkah gift to be used for the remaining holiday nights.
Our Havdalah candles come in the most elaborate designs and colors. They come in tall & braided styles & would make a gorgeous Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift.

Robert Pattinson - "Interview Magazine" October 2008
Michael Martin interviewed Robert Pattinson for the October 2008 issue of Interview Magazine (with James Franco on the cover). Here's the article:
– Alert the tabloids: Harry Potter actor linked to drug house! Twenty-two-year-old Robert Pattinson fondly recalls his time living in a "cool little ex-crack den" in London with best friend Tom Sturridge. He's joking (we think) about their bad behavior as struggling young actors. "We spent the better part of a year just getting drunk every night," Pattinson admits. "I don't know if that counts as 'struggling.'" After the debauchery ended, Pattinson co-starred as Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter movies. A former child model–he posed professionally from ages 12 to 15 ("when I stopped looking like a girl")–Pattinson has been dubbed "the next Jude Law" in the British press. "I don't really see the similarity," he says. One opportunity to break out comes via next year's Little Ashes, a Spanish drama in which Pattinson stars as the young Salvador Dali. But first, there's the vampire thriller Twilight, based on the popular teen books, in which Pattinson plays Edward, a 108-year-old bloodsucker in love with a high school girl. Horror fans are already stalking him. "It's funny," Pattinson says, "because teenage girls would say,' Oh my God, you're Cedric!' It switched in a week to 'Oh, my God, it's Edward!' Allegiances change to freely in the teen-girl world."

Our dismally slim cookbook collection consisted of the annual Southern Living hardbacks that my mother picked up for us at yard sales, and one or two of them had sticky notes flailing out of the top to denote a recipe or two that The Carnivore, who was by and large the family chef, had attempted with good success. And I had a tiny little single-pocket manila folder that held the four or five recipes I had clipped from magazines or newspapers. It was kind of sad really, now that I'm looking back on it.
When we first moved into our dream house, six weeks after The Big Boy was born, and I began to get used to my new role as more-mom-than-businesswoman, I started testing the waters as the head chef in the family. The Carnivore had designed and built a spectacular kitchen, with appliances that were smarter than me and a floor plan that had the living room and kitchen completely open to one another. The space is vast, airy, and colorful, with high ceilings, stained glass windows and a big bay window, hardwood floors, and even a fireplace. Really, it would have been hard to NOT get obsessed with cooking.
I began to madly clip new recipes, eager to expand our rather boring and completely uninspiring meal rotation, and over time, my folder of recipes started to bulge and split its seams; there were so many that I would often forget what was in there and would have to pull every single piece of paper out in order to find anything. And since we had started with such a limited set of meals, we were voting nearly all new recipes to be keepers. So, in true obsessive-compulsive fashion, I finally spent a weekend organizing all of the recipes into a binder. I made copies of each recipe on a single sheet of paper so I wouldn't be stuck with all the scraps of paper, and I categorized all of them, even going so far as to provide an index for each category. I know, it's a little sick, isn't it? I can't help it. I blame my father. He's the same way.
Recently though, I realized the binder had gotten out of control. There are maybe 150 or so recipes in there now, and our standards have changed drastically in the past four years. Whereas before, any old edible pasta dish would easily earn its place in the book, we recognize now that in those days, we were just trying to avoid starvation. I mean, the first pasta salad recipe that moved into the book is truly a very middle-of-the-road, pedestrian kind of dish that I clipped from the newspaper. I will probably never make it again now that I have added the Pasta Salad with Corn and Spinach that we fell in love with from Fine Cooking.
It's clearly time to do some culling. We're just a lot pickier than we used to be. And I don't want to waste valuable real estate in The Book with white-bread fare, if you know what I mean. So we've gotten ruthless. Unless we get overly frustrated with the process, we're not having any new recipes for a few weeks until we have gone back and eaten our way through some of the pages that we haven't even turned to in recent memory. Last night, I made a goat cheese and sun-dried tomato pasta dish that we only ate once, maybe a year ago, and neither of us could even remember much about it, much less why we had decided to add it to our permanent cache. This time, we each had no more than a couple of bites before we put our food critic hats on and began to nit-pick the dish into oblivion. It just wasn't earth-shatteringly tasty. And it didn't pull our heartstrings or comfort us or excite even a single taste bud. I wish I had a buzzer on the kitchen table. Or a gong. At some point, we obviously felt this dish was an important addition to our menu book, but neither of us were particularly moved by it any longer.
So I marched to The Book, unceremoniously yanked the page out and escorted it straight to the recycling bin, scribbling over it's entry in the index. Call me ruthless. I just love the sound of it.
Oh, it isn't like we'll run out of recipes. We can afford to be remorseless about this process. I mean, I'm threading my way amongt bookshelves that are groaning under the weight of cookbooks, I subscribe to a slew of cooking magazines (though that amount could rise at a moment's notice), and the internet is a resource to be reckoned with here. Almost every day I print out a new recipe that I want to try from one of the food blogs (see sidebar at right) that I regularly follow.
The only issue we're running into is when we disagree over a recipe's rightful home in The Book. A couple of nights ago, I made a spinach, goat cheese & chive quiche that I truly enjoy (my sister-in-law showed up with a sizeable block of goat cheese last weekend so we've been on kind of a goat cheese kick around these parts lately). Though The Carnivore and I are usually on the same page with recipes – with the obvious exception of, um, meat – we butted heads on this one. In the interest of making meals that we are all happy with though, and since this is a rare occasion to begin with, I reluctantly recycled the recipe and took the leftovers to mom's house. I'm still feeling a little sadness over this, like it's a puppy my parents won't let me keep and I need to find a good home for it.
I am a giant fan of eggy main dishes anyway, and The Carnivore most certainly is NOT. Quiches and frittatas are such beautiful vegetarian entrees, and can be loaded with all manner of seasonal veggies and herbs, and since goat cheese can even be found relatively locally here, well, I'm just downright downcast to see this recipe move on to a more agreeable audience than it found in my kitchen.
So here it is, free to a good home. Please take good care of it for me. I will miss it terribly.
SPINACH, GOAT CHEESE & CHIVE QUICHE (adapted from Fine Cooking, serves 4 as an entree, or 6 as a side dish)
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 2 to 3 Tbs finely snipped fresh chives
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 partially baked tart shell (or pie dough or even puff pastry - whatever you like)
- In a large saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil.
- Add spinach to boiling water and cook until just wilted (2 to 3 minutes).
- Drain spinach and set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, yolks and heavy cream. Season w/ salt & pepper and whisk until well blended.
- Add the goat cheese, chives, thyme and Parmigiano to the egg mixture.
- Squeeze excess moisture from spinach; and mince.
- Add spinach to egg mixture and mix well.
- Pour mixture into prepared, partially baked tart shell.
- Put tart shell onto a baking pan (because it will overflow and make a terrible mess of your stove) and bake at 375 degrees until the filling is puffed and brown (about 50 minutes) and interior no longer runs all over the place when poked with a knife.

40% whole gran boule with toadies . . .
Yesterday was a big day for this old skibum. I made a trip to the big city and picked up my new Kitchenaide SS fridge to go with the KA SS stove bought in the spring AND stopped the Bass Pro store and bought a Lodge combo cooker for $50, which is WAY easier to load than my 4" deep enameled CA DO, which was taking a bit of a beating doing bread and is my favourite cooking tool, both stove top and oven. The Lodge CC rocks!
I took yet another page from dabrownman's book in this bake going with 25% whole wheat and 15% organic rye. For 2/3 of the WW I used 1/3 red wheat berries and 1/3 white berries ground in a small coffee grinder I use mostly for grinding spices. All of the flour and water was autolysed overnight @ 85% hydration.
This was about a 3 day build due to schedule. Day one feed the starter, let it rise and fall , then into the fridge overnight. Mix in the am with 4 S&F's with 10 minutes rest and 3 S&F's with 30. Bulk on the counter for 1:30 the into the fridge for 24 hours. Pre-shaped, rest 10 min and shaped. I proofed in a mixing bowl lined with linen dusted with rice flour for an hour, scored and baked in the new Lodge for 20 minutes @ 500F covered, then 10 uncovered @ 450 convection, turning at the half. Crumb shot:
This made a nice bread with a good open crumb, but I still like the flavour profile of my 15% WW, 10% rye and will back down to those numbers next bake and once again use ground wheat berries and toadies. i also added 1Tbs oil, 1 Tbs honey and 1 Tbs malt syrup and 11/2 tps salt.
The new love in my life:
Now I just need to change out the flooring and my kitchen reno is complete. It sure is nice to have quality kitchen appliances!
Happy baking! Brian

Ouch, no more TT. That is going to be tough to resist on the few days we get good winds here, but OK, I am committed to the process. Just don't tell me I have to stop drinking too.
I will have the board ready early tomorrow morning hoping to eek a session out of the possible 10kt winds forcast here. If that doesn't happen, I will be riding the board towed, working out my right foot forward issues and practicing switch foot with some slack in the rope.
