A Day in the Life of the Powell Family
A photographic essay by 1998 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants
Introduction / Father / Mother / Daughter / Slaves / Summary
The Powell Household Slaves -- Nanny and her children Charles (born 1757) and Jacob (born 1763),
Cate and her children Hannah (born 1764) and Jack (born 1767) , and Rose and her children
Sarah (born 1767) and Benjamin (born 1765)
Rose, Cate and Nanny are awakened by Mrs. Powell at dawn. They get up, dress, put their beds away and start the kitchen fire. The children bring in wood and water, while Nanny starts breakfast. Rose goes into the house to help Mrs. Powell and Hannah get dressed. Nanny, Hannah and Mrs. Powell plan dinner -- the main meal of the day. They decide what needs to be purchased at the market this morning, after checking supplies. Mrs. Powell tells Nanny that there will be extra people at dinner, as guests have been invited.
Rose goes with Mrs. Powell and Hannah to the market. She helps choose beef, oysters, fresh butter and cream, and carries the basket of purchases. Cate serves breakfast to the Powells, with Sarah's help. Mrs. Powell informs Rose that the ropes on the bed need to be tightened. Rose tightens the bed ropes, makes the bed, dusts, sweeps and sweetens the bedchamber, by sprinkling fresh herbs in the room. Cate's Hannah polishes the furniture in the parlor.
The slaves eat their breakfast after the house has been cleaned. Jacob goes about the town with Mr. Powell. Charles, Ben and Jack stack wood, split kindling, and haul water for laundry, dish washing and cooking, and Nanny begins the preparation of dinner.
Cate and Rose's Sarah work in the vegetable and herb garden, under the supervision of Hannah Powell. They pick herbs and tie them into bunches for drying.
Cate starts the laundry by boiling the linens in huge copper kettles. Rose irons Mrs. Powell's and Hannah's sleeve ruffles for the gowns they will be wearing to dinner.
Nanny continues the preparations for dinner. There will be a number of elaborate dishes served to compliment the ham, roasted chicken and grilled beef.
Rose and Cate's Hannah serve dinner to the Powells and their guests. They clear the table after the first course, and then set up and serve the second course. They listen very carefully to the conversation at table so that they can report any news of interest to the other slaves on the property.
Rose washes the china, glass and silver in the dining room after dinner, when the Powells and their guests have moved into the parlor for tea, conversation, music and dancing. Finally Rose is able to go out to the kitchen for her dinner. The slaves eat their dinner of hominy, salt pork, and vegetables from the garden in the kitchen. They wash the pots, pans and utensils and thoroughly clean and sweep the kitchen, according to Mrs. Powell's specifications. Cate checks the boiling linens, which will be scrubbed, rinsed, dried and ironed over the next three days.
When the Powells' guests depart, Rose and Sarah put the rooms at rest, and go back out to the kitchen/laundry where the slaves are getting ready for a walk about the town, visiting friends and relatives, enjoying music, dance and story telling.

Rutland Herald: Opinion: Harnessing wind
Reposted from the Rutland Herald.
The Legislature's response to public concern about the proliferation of wind towers on Vermont's mountaintops is lurching toward what may be a positive outcome.
It has been a vexing controversy, dividing environmentalists, dividing communities. The peaks that define the horizon wherever you happen to be standing in the state are woven into the soul of the people. And yet most Vermonters remain aware in varying degrees of the need to develop sources of sustainable energy.
Public opinion, as far as we can tell from poll results, seems to favor by comfortable margins the development of wind energy. But that is opinion broadly measured. In certain areas, wind power is broadly and deeply resented, mainly because the installation of wind towers transforms cherished mountain ridges into industrial zones.
There are better regions for efficient wind generation — Texas, for example, or the Plains States. The wide open Palouse country of Oregon and Washington has hundreds of wind towers. By contrast, the topography of Vermont means that towers built on suitable sites loom closely over human settlements.
Some regions have calculated the environmental and economic impacts and voted in favor of wind power. That is what happened in Lowell, allowing Green Mountain Power to proceed with a project that has been the focus of bitter controversy. Surrounding towns, such as Craftsbury and Albany, did not get a vote, and many people there don't like the presence of huge wind machines on nearby mountaintops. There have been protests and arrests in Lowell, and the jury is still out on the environmental impact of building a road on a high mountain ridge.
In response to the construction of that and other projects, wind opponents have promoted a three-year moratorium on wind projects. Some high-profile figures have opposed the moratorium, saying it would send the wrong message to a world struggling to come to grips with climate change: that even environmentally conscious Vermont can't get behind sustainable energy. These moratorium critics have included author and activist Bill McKibben and Sen. Bernard Sanders, who have been vilified for defending "Big Wind."
To accuse McKibben and Sanders of becoming corporate tools is a stretch. The development of wind power remains an important component of a climate change strategy, and for wind power to have an impact it must be pushed by companies with the technology and resources to carry out the job. Certainly, the bigness of "Big Wind" is not on the same scale as the bigness of "Big Oil."
And yet Vermont's environmental ethos, going back as far as the creation of Act 250, provides a place for local communities to defend their interests. It was a travesty when ski chalets in the 1960s were streaming sewage onto mountainsides, and Act 250 allowed towns to weigh in on whether mountain development was appropriate.
Energy development does not come under the purview of Act 250, however, and the Public Service Board need not consider town plans or zoning in approving wind projects. Officials as high as Gov. Peter Shumlin, a wind booster, pay lip service to the idea of local control, but local control on energy projects has no place in the statutes.
That may change. The moratorium has not gained traction in the Legislature, but as a House committee takes up an energy bill this week, there is more talk about amending the law so that local communities have an increased say.
It would be too bad if a project had local support but a moratorium quashed it. It would also be too bad if a project were universally despised in its host communities but a town's lack of standing in the process did not allow the PSB to take into account local views.
Popular opposition among townspeople and town boards in Pittsford, Hubbardton, Castleton and West Rutland has put a temporary moratorium on a project proposed for Grandpa's Knob. Even boosters such as Shumlin say they don't want to cram any projects down townspeople's throats. The Legislature ought to be looking for ways that towns can be empowered to prevent that from happening.

Bezirk Miraflores, Lima Reiseführer
Miraflores Zusammenfassung
- Known for its well-maintained parks and gardens
- Excellent shopping
- Beaches popular with both sunbathing and surfing
- An upscale cultural center for the city of Lima, with theaters, cinemas and galleries
- Vibrant nightlife; pubs and bars for crowds of all ages
- Area is becoming increasingly touristy
- Heat can become intense during the summer months
What It's Like
Most visitors to Lima flock straight to Miraflores, which is widely known for its shopping areas, gardens, well-maintained parks, and beaches. It's one of Lima's more upscale areas and is a cultural center with theaters, galleries and cinemas. The area is home to many hotels, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and stores that are popular with both tourists and locals; Calle de Las Pizzas ("Pizza Street") is lined with bars that are filled with teenagers and young adults (especially on the weekends). The beaches here are popular with surfers and sunbathers alike (especially during the hot summer months).
Where to Stay
In an area as lively and popular as Miraflores, it's hard to go too wrong with hotel location. Staying south of Alfredo Benavides and east of Malecon Balta will keep you relatively central, close to both Miraflores Central Park, the beach, and shops.

I kind of liked Olberman for his wit, but I know what you mean Blue. Sadly, MSNBC has gotten almost as bad as Fox News, they are still pretty biased.
Maddow may be the most witty person I have ever seen. I watch her for her insanely impressive rhetoric and intellect. I would love to see Maddow and O'rielly debate, both are equally biased, but Maddow is massively more impressive on the wit and rhetoric factor that Bill- I have laughed more than once watching him squirm solely because his counterpart disagreed, not because a good argument was presented- even Letterman outmaneuvered him, that says a lot. Olberman is with Al Gore's network now, I think. Its probably just as biased as Fox. I don't see your Bush victory argument. Bush's blunders were Olberman's bread and butter. If Kieth was even on Bush's radar, which he probably wasn't, I can't see how Bush "won" anything. He's being demonized presently, sometimes justly, sometimes unjustly by more than just Olberman.
Huh? Bush was a bad President precisely BECAUSE he didn't care about the positions of anyone else- its not an endearing quality. Olberman was just a pundit using the contemporary issues to up his voice and airtime. I think you maybe overestimating his importance.Underestimating the problems of having a leader who doesn't care about anyone his people must interact with or even his own people? Idk, you decide, but I'd rather go to Europe without having to tell people I'm Canadian so they won't kill me, because my leader pisses on everyone at will without concern or abatement.
....it's fun to watch msnbc these days without that tool Keith olberman....less bias.

Have you ever heard of a prayer rock? The idea is simple. You place this little rock on your pillow each morning so that when you go to bed that night you are reminded to say your prayers. Then when going to bed you place it on the floor so you are reminded to say your morning prayers when you wake.
Now I'm not saying you should only say your prayers at bed time or in the morning cause I firmly believe that one should be in prayer or conversation with God several times throughout their day. However I do know that for some people this does not always happen. So why not a friendly reminder? This is also great for training your children to always remember their nighttime and morning prayers.
On a smooth clean side of your rock, brush on a coat of mod podge.
Add a fabric heart.
Brush on another coat of mod podge, right over the fabric heart. You'll want to get good coverage over the fabric to ensure a good attachment. Now do several and let them dry and you are done!
My kid is a rock fanatic so these are going to be his Valentines to his classmates this year. I made a tag with the prayer rock poem and we will package it up like one of the options below. You can snag the tags below too!
Use letter stamps to stamp "You Rock" on a muslin bag and tie on the tag. You can also stamp the to and from on the back of the tag. The complete letter stamp sets can be found in the dollar bins at Michaels.
Add the tag, basket filler paper, and the rock to a cello bag and close. Again you can stamp the to and from on the back of the tag.
Simply drop the rock into a red bag, fold the top over and attach the tag with a heart paper clip.

Nottingham Forest strengthened their grip on an npower Championship play-off spot with a timely 3-2 win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
Luke Chambers headed the winning goal in the second half to end a four-match losing run on the road for Billy Davies' side and give them a first victory on their travels in nine attempts.
A Kris Boyd tap-in and a penalty from the on-loan Middlesbrough forward sent the Reds into half-time in control.
But Marvin Elliott halved City's arrears soon after the restart and Jon Stead headed them level on the hour mark.
Chambers had the last word, though, with his fifth goal of the season.
City boss Keith Millen made five changes following the defeat to Sheffield United two days ago.
Three were enforced, with Nicky Maynard beginning a three-match suspension after his red card at Bramall Lane and Damion Stewart and Kalifa Cisse missing out through injury. Brett Pitman and Martyn Woolford dropped to the bench.
David Clarkson, Stead, Cole Skuse, Jamal Campbell-Ryce and Louis Carey were recalled.
Boyd came back into the Forest side along with on-loan left-back Paul Konchesky. Marcus Tudgay and Chris Gunter made way.
There was an early scare for City when David James fumbled Lewis McGugan's free-kick, but the former England goalkeeper smothered the ball at the second attempt.
McGugan was involved again shortly afterwards when he crossed from the right for Boyd to sweep the ball past James after four minutes.
Stead had two half-chances to equalise, first shooting just wide and then almost benefiting when Konchesky's header back to Lee Camp did not quite reach the Forest keeper.
Campbell-Ryce also went close but dragged his shot past the post.
It was somewhat against the run of play when Forest extended their lead. McGugan fell over Carey's dangling leg and Boyd blasted the resulting penalty into the roof of the net.
A superb passing move involving four City players saw Campbell-Ryce get free down the left and cross for Elliott to sneak his far-post header beyond Camp to make it 2-1 four minutes into the second half.
Albert Adomah's 20-yard shot went narrowly wide soon afterwards.
Stead then headed City level on the hour mark, guiding Jordan Spence's centre back across Camp who got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.
It looked like neither side would find a winner, until Chambers' looping header from McGugan's cross in the 72nd minute.
City thought they had salvaged a draw in injury time when Marlon Jackson scored but the substitute put the ball in the net with his hand and was booked by referee Roger East.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Kyou Kara Maou, because if I did, Yuuri and Wolfram would not be just friends.
Summary: Yuuri finds his true feelings towards his fiancé one night…
Wolfram opened his eyes, a tiny frown appearing on his face. His black haired fiancé wasn't lying in bed next to him.
It was late at night, and the blonde haired boy had once again ventured into Yuuri's bedroom, only to find it empty. Deciding that he'll wait for him to come back, Wolfram had settled into the soft bedcovers, and had drifted away without realizing it.
But now the moon was hovering high in the dark sky, and Yuuri still wasn't here.
Wolfram's emerald eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly untangled his body from the bed sheets. Bare feet padded the floor, and the door creaked open. Still clad in his pink frilly night-grown, the blonde Mazoku walked down the hallways, eyes glancing swiftly at doors.
After an entire detour of the castle, Wolfram sat on the cold cement floor outside the bedroom and sighed.
Where are you, hennachoko?
"Aah…that took really long…" Yuuri groaned to himself, rubbing his head sleepily as he made his way to his bedroom. "I really don't like these meetings…."
His tired face soon gave way to a smile.
At least I'll have someone to cuddle with in my bed, He thought, and blushed, shaking his head. Wa-Wait, I don't think of him that way…do I?
No, of course not, it's just getting really cold lately.
Yuuri paused, surprised to see a shape curled up outside his bedroom door. Coming closer, he recognized the pink frilly silk cloth, and the beautiful waves of golden locks.
"Wolfram!" he cried, and rushed over to his fiancé. Shaking him lightly roused Wolfram awake, and he leaned forward slowly to grab Yuuri's cheeks and stretch them apart.
"Hennachoko, where were you…?" demanded Wolfram sleepily. Yuuri sweatdropped, twitching from the pain.
"I-Itta, yamete Wolfram…" he pulled Wolfram's slender fingers off his face and rubbed his cheeks. "Don't call me that..!"
Wolfram gave him a small smile in reply, and slowly stood up.
"Then let's go to sleep, Yuuri."
"Hah?" Yuuri blinked, unsure whether to object his fiancé sharing the same bed as him, but it was too late; Wolfram opened the door and headed into the room. Yuuri closed his mouth, sighing resignedly, and followed.
His eyes strangely were attracted to Wolfram's small shoulders, lighted with pale moonlight as the feminine male stretched and lay on the bed. Wolfram turned around and beckoned him, patting the space beside him.
"Come here, Yuuri," he called softly, and Yuuri swallowed, his face suddenly hot.
"Wolfram, do you really have to sleep here…? There's a lot of empty rooms you could've…" he insisted, and Wolfram shot a glare at him.
"Come here, Yuuri." This time, Wolfram's voice was slightly stern and commanding, and Yuuri trailed off his sentence, reluctantly obeying. He slid onto the soft mattress next to Wolfram, and turned away, blushing.
Ah, I wonder if Wolfram's body feels like a girl…? He mused to himself, and slapped himself mentally for thinking that.
What am I thinking?
He's a guy, and I'm a guy.
There's no way…! …Can there?
Wolfram watched Yuuri, his emerald eyes expressionless. Finally, seeing that the Maou had no other ulterior moves or objections, he sighed softly and lay down onto the mattress, wrapping his arms around his pillow.
"Goodnight then." He murmured, and felt Yuuri jerk a little. He curiously peeked at his fiancé wondering what was wrong, to find the dark haired boy gazing down at him, his face reddening.
"What is it, Yuuri?" Wolfram asked, concerned. Yuuri's eyes snapped back and he quickly turned away.
"N-Nothing…" Yuuri muttered, and lay down beside Wolfram, his back turned to him. Wolfram frowned slightly, disappointed. He had thought Yuuri was finally seeing him as a fiancé instead as a friend, but that slightly dense Maou was unpredictable. Ignoring the pang of pain in his chest, he buried his face into the pillows and closed his eyes.
Yuuri tried to take his mind off a certain blonde boy, but the silence in the room was deafening, and seemed to amplify the sound of Wolfram's breathing. He listened to how soft Wolfram's breathing was, the small rhythm of his breath drawing in and out, and slowly, his body relaxed.
Wolfram is kind of like a girl, he decided to himself with a smile. He's really feminine and his eyes are really beautiful.
But if I ever told him that, I wonder how he'll react…?
Cringing at the thought of Wolfram whacking him for saying such embarrassing things, he rolled over to face Wolfram's sleeping body, and his dark eyes traced his fiancé's frame, silhouetted by the moonlight. Even though Wolfram was fiery, and often filled with jealousy and anger, the pale warrior had a beautiful body.
Yuuri's eyes traced slowly down the small, rounded shoulders, over the slight rise from waist to hip, and paused at the blanket, covering the rest of the body. His fingers stretched out, and without thinking, he wrapped them around Wolfram's soft blonde curls.
Wolfram's eyes snapped open at the feeling of someone touching his hair. "Yuuri?" he questioned, and the fingers instantly withdrew, followed by Yuuri's stammering excuse.
"G-Gomen, I didn't mean to…!"
Wolfram turned his head around, his heart rising slightly. "You idiot," he whispered. "You don't have to apologize."
Yuuri smiled sheepishly and drew his hands back into the covers, shielding them from the frosty chill of the air. Shivering a bit, he turned and faced the roof of the room. Wolfram felt a smile coming on, and quickly hiding it, reached his pale arm under the bed sheets to grasp around Yuuri's waist. Yuuri instantly jumped again, and his head turned to stare at Wolfram.
"What?" Wolfram asked, trying hard not to smile. "You're cold, right?"
The young Maou swallowed and nodded, and tried to relax his tense body. Wolfram smiled, noticing the increased rate of his fiancé's breathing. Closing his eyes, he cuddled closer into Yuuri's warm body, and sighing contently, started to drift into sleep again.
Yuuri froze, feeling Wolfram's body come into contact with his. His face instantly flared a brilliant red, and his breathing started to become more ragged.
Should I hug him back?
No, I don't want him to take it the wrong way.
…Then what do I want him to see it as?
Objections and doubts raced through Yuuri's mind, and he squeezed his eyes shut tightly. At times when he needed help, he always turned to a older, mature, brown haired man, and a moment like this was critical.
What would Conrad say…!
Relax, he concluded. Take it slowly…if you really don't like Wolfram that way, you wouldn't have been so excited over a hug.
…So what should I do?
Blushing hard, he slowly pried his eyes back open, determined to find out what he truly felt towards the blonde haired boy. Gazing into Wolfram's feminine face, he felt his body relaxing, and slowly, he draped an arm around his fiancé's waist as well.
"Wolfram…" he murmured softly, and emerald eyes flickered open, questioning.
"What is it, Yuuri?"
"Aah, gomen, did I wake you?" Yuuri asked apologetically. Wolfram shook his head slowly.
"You don't have a reason to call me?" Wolfram asked irritably, and Yuuri smiled sheepishly.
"Th-That's not it…" he said, and backed a little away at Wolfram's questioning look. "A-Ah, what I meant was…"
Wolfram's stare soon turned into a scowl. He didn't understand why Yuuri questioned his feelings towards him, and it made him irritable.
If he likes me, he should just accept it.
If he keeps me hanging like this forever…
Gritting his teeth, Wolfram turned his back on Yuuri, roughly pulling the blankets with him. He heard Yuuri's squeak of protest, and he ignored him. Hot tears pricked his eyes, and Wolfram blamed his sleepiness, closing his eyes.
Yuuri swallowed, his mind swimming with thoughts. Oh no, he thought miserably, Wolfram took it the wrong way again.
No, he thought, his eyes set determinedly, Today I won't keep Wolfram guessing anymore.
Glancing over at his furious fiancé though, Yuuri was finding it hard to start. His heart was beating fast again, and he really didn't know what to do first. Finally, he reached his hand out hesitantly to touch Wolfram's shoulder.
Wolfram's body froze, but the blonde boy refused to look at Yuuri. Taking this as an encouraging sign since Wolfram wasn't whacking his hand away, Yuuri slowly stroked his hand down his fiancé's arm, pushing pink silk off to reveal pale, warm flesh.
He really is soft, Yuuri mused, and felt Wolfram's body shiver slightly. "Ah, sorry, is it cold…?" Yuuri asked, pulling his hand away. Wolfram sat up and turned around, his emerald eyes shaking slightly.
"Yuuri.." he said softly, "If you don't like me more than a friend, don't take pity on me like this…"
Yuuri's eyes widened, taken aback. "Eh?"
Wolfram gritted his teeth, eyes flashing. "Don't touch me like that if you don't have any feelings towards me," he snapped, and pulled his nightgown over his bare shoulder.
"Wait, no..!" cried Yuuri in protest. "I…I wasn't taking pity on you!"
Wolfram stopped, and looked at him, a small glimmer of hope in his green eyes. Yuuri paused, words stuck in his throat.
N-Now what do I do?
They sat there gazing into each other's eyes for a long time, Wolfram's hope slowly fading, and Yuuri still stumbling over in his mind what to say next. Finally, hurt glowing in Wolfram's eyes, his fiancé moved to lie back onto the bed. Yuuri opened his mouth, knowing that if he didn't say anything now, Wolfram would never forgive him.
"L-Let's start slowly first, Wolfram--!" Yuuri stammered. "I…This is still very new to me, and I…"
Wolfram turned over and looked at him. "Are you scared of something?" he asked incredulously. Yuuri paused, and he gazed into Wolfram's eyes miserably.
"I…I'm not used to this," he admitted finally. "But I can try…!" Wolfram was already turning his back onto him, wrapping the blankets around himself. "Wolfram, please, give me time…"
"Yuuri, I've waited for a long time." Wolfram answered softly. "Now Goodnight; if you wake me up again, I'm going to hurt you, Yuuri."
"That's not it!" Yuuri almost yelled. Silence fell between them. "Wolfram, don't be like that…!"
Wolfram turned around, his expression hurt and angry. "You don't know how much it hurts to see you treat everyone the same as you treat me!"
"Then how do you want me to treat you?" asked Yuuri, lowering his voice. Wolfram turned away angrily.
"How am I supposed to tell that kind of things to you?" Wolfram snapped. Yuuri sighed and rubbed his head.
"I've said this before, it's really new to me, Wolfram…" he pleaded softly. "I've never fallen in love before, so…"
Slowly, he placed an arm on the other side of Wolfram, and leaned on top of him. Wolfram's eyes widened, and his face reddened.
"Wha—What are you doing, Yuuri?" he asked, jumping slightly as Yuuri leaned in closer. A few millimeters apart, Yuuri hesitated and smiled nervously.
"I'm giving you my first kiss. Can I…?" he stammered, and Wolfram paused for a while before agreeing with a nod. With Wolfram's given permission, he closed the gap between their lips.
Their kiss was awkward and shy, as neither of them had kissed anyone before, but it was filled with pure feelings and trust. Wolfram moaned slightly into the kiss, leaning closer for better contact. Yuuri blushed at the vibration, and the softness of Wolfram's lips pressing against his. Slowly, encouragingly, Wolfram opened his mouth, granting entrance to Yuuri. Yuuri paused, unsure of what to do, and then slowly slid his tongue into the warm, sweet cave, taking in how cute the sounds of approval that his fiancé was making. Wolfram widened his mouth slowly, not wanting to scare Yuuri away with the advances, and sighed softly.
Yuuri however, was slowly gaining confidence, and soon his tongue explored Wolfram's mouth from hesitant tastes to increasing speed. Wolfram blushed and pulled away, needing oxygen.
Both of them breathing hard, they gazed into each other's eyes before Yuuri slowly lift his head further away, laughing a little nervously.
"Aah, G-Gomen…was that too fast…?" he asked, before Wolfram frowned slightly and pulled him down again, kissing him hard.
Yuuri froze for a second, then relaxed, his fingers starting to explore what was underneath Wolfram's pink nightgown. He traced his tanned fingers up Wolfram's soft warm thighs, brushing the fabric of his underwear. Wolfram stifled a gasp and pulled away, blushing hard.
Absorbed in what he was doing, Yuuri continued his explorations, stroking up Wolfram's slender stomach, and dipped his fingers into his bellybutton, Wolfram's sighs of pleasure encouraging him. Slowly, he traced his fingers higher, pulling the nightgown up to Wolfram's armpits, and his dark eyes slowly fell from his fiance's lust-filled ones to gaze down at his pale body.
"Wolfram…you're really soft…" he murmured, satisfied to see the fiery soldier blush.
"Sh—Shut up," snapped Wolfram half-heartedly, his emerald eyes glazing over. Yuuri smiled softly, and bent down to nuzzle against Wolfram's warm neck. He felt Wolfram's body trembling with pleasure as his warm breath tickled his fiance's sensitive skin, and he smiled to himself, his hand tracing the curves of Wolfram's body.
The sound of the door slamming open caused both fiancés to jump apart, breathing heavily and faces reddening. Greta, their small adopted daughter, flung herself at Yuuri, almost tackling him down.
"Yuuri!" she cried, tears in her eyes. Yuuri swallowed hard and patted her head, his mind clearing up from the lust filled fog.
"A-Ah, Greta! What's wrong?" he asked, and grinned sheepishly at an irritated Wolfram, tugging his night-gown down.
"I had a nightmare!" cried Greta, crying into his chest. "Can I sleep here with you?"
"Of course," Yuuri instantly replied, shooting Wolfram an apologetic look. "You can sleep here between us, so that no monster can get you."
Wolfram sighed before nodding, laying back down onto the bed and pulling the blankets up. Yuuri smiled to himself as he tucked the small girl into bed next to him, watching Wolfram's back in the corner of his eyes.
At least we both know what I really feel now. He thought, and lay down, closing his eyes.
I love you.
it was gay but that was to be expected, i just want to say that... Annako is really are a good writer.

This recipe rocks not only because of its flavor, but also because its base uses ingredients almost everyone has on hand at all times (egg, flour, butter etc).
It is so simple to whip up because the butter is melted, you do not need to wait for it to come to room temp making these the perfect last minute dessert. Plus the recipe is super versatile; you can stir in any addition you can think of to suit your tastes making them a totally different treat each time you bake! This one recipe will literally give you a thousand different dessert options by mixing up what you use for "add ins". I have not come across a bad combination of "add ins" yet and I have made these a hundred times or more. I dare you to see if Blondes really do have more fun.
*For the blondies pictured I used 1/2 cup white chocolate chunks, 1/4 cup toffee pieces and 1/2 cup toasted Pecan pieces.
Basic Blondies
6-7 TBS butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder (optional, creates lighter blondie texture)
"Add in" (see below)
Preheat oven to 350.
Line an 8x8 pan with foil and lightly spray with PAM.
In a large microwave safe mixing bowl melt the butter. Allow to cool for 5 mintues. Mix the brown sugar with the melted butter and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and then vanilla. Add salt, stir in flour and baking powder (if using). Mix in any additions (some ideas below).
Pour into prepared pan and use a greased spatula to evenly spread mixture in pan and level the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set in the middle. (I baked for 22 minutes)Cool on rack before cutting.
Add in ideas:
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate or butterscotch chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds
1/2 cup M&M candies1/2 chopped Reese's PB cups
1/4 cup toffee pieces
1/2 tsp mint extract in addition to, or in the place of vanilla extract

Updated Signature & Avatar Policies Discussion Thread
You now have greater power and flexibility for both avatars and signatures here on AnimeSuki Forum!
Highlights of the key changes, effective immediately:
Because all of these changes represent an increase from our previous limits, you do not need to change your current signatures or avatars if you don't want to. Please note that restrictions on signature height or avatar dimensions (width and height) have not changed at this time.
For the complete details, please read the new wording of Forum Rule section 3, shown below:
3.0 Signature Rules
These rules apply only to member signatures. Users who do not wish to see member signatures may disable them in their User Profiles via the User Control Panel.3.1 Size LimitsThe Signature Rules are only loosely enforced. Nevertheless, signatures that violate them will be removed and/or replaced with a warning. Members who ignore warnings and keep violating the Signature Rules will receive infractions that may result in temporary or permanent bans. Annoying signatures, or those that break any part of the Forum Rules, may be edited or removed at any time without notice at the sole discretion of the staff.
To keep The Forum loading quickly for users who wish to see signatures, and to preserve The Forum's visual aesthetic, your signature must conform to the following size limits:3.2 Limited Advertising Permitted
Signatures are excluded from the advertising restrictions found in the Posting Rules, provided the site, product, service or event being advertised and the content of the advertisement complies with the rest of The Rules. If you are not sure, please ask a member of staff.3.3 Content Restrictions
Please refrain from including any image or text in a signature that could be considered a spoiler, or is otherwise in violation of any other section of the Forum Rules. In addition, your signature may not use the [quote] tag, [indent] tag, [spoiler] tag, or any tag that hides some or all of the signature contents.
If you have any questions or concerns about these new policies, please feel free to post them in this thread. We hope that everyone will enjoy the flexibility and creative potential that the new limits will allow.

Good change; I like how it's simplified to just "fit inside the box" for signatures so there's no confusion whatsoever on the issue.
Will it return an error message if it exceeds it though?

I like the "fit in the box" layout for the signature limit. I think it should eliminate confusion on what works and what doesn't.
I don't even know how many times in the past I got busted because I put a banner AND lines, heaven forbid.

META: Knock It Off (or how I learned to stop worrying and avoid the Twitter)
[WARNING: Mod abuse of power and unrequested opinion contained herein. Consider yourself warned]
Stop it.
Twitter is great. Facebook is swell. MySpace is... maybe still a thing? But for the love of all things holy, and in the name of all that is non-douchy, I beg of you... Leave. Recruits. Alone.
That's Me
This is about David Dawson, but it's not about David Dawson. It's about Kyle Kalis. It's about Shane Morris and Kyle Bosch and Yuri Wright. It's about 17-year-old kids. They're trying to decide where to go to college. They're deciding on a group of people with whom they want to spend 5000 hours per week for the next four to five years. (Attn: Mike Rosenberg, that's called 'hyperbole.' Put the pen down). This is a big-ass decision.
Remember when you debated this for 10 minutes? Yeah. Kind of like that.
The good news? You don't have to be involved. The recruits can do this ALL by themselves. In fact, your involvement is not welcomed. You're not helping. You're making it worse.
So, with that, I would like to propose that we come up with a few ground rules.
- No tweeting @ recruits: It may be an NCAA violation, though I tend to think it's not. But it's creepy as hell. It does no good, and it can cause huge harm.
- No Facebook friending recruits: They are not your friends.
- No commenting on recruits' Facebook walls: See #2 above
- No tweeting @ recruits: still no.
- No following recruits on Twitter: This is a gray area, but the bottom line is that these are kids, so err on the side of not being creepy.
- No talking shit about recruits on the internet (MGoBlog or otherwise): what part of "these are kids" did you not get.
- No obsessing about recruits' every tweet: This is the toughest one, because even if you don't follow recruits, stuff gets retweeted or posted to MGoBlog. I struggle with this one as much as the next guy. But yeah.

Downhome Dough
This is another recipe for my cookbook. I actually developed it in August of last year. Here's the original post. But the measurements needed testing, and it tastes so good ... so it was high time to make it again.
The crust is made using my own recipe for cornbread, but it's halved to allow room for the toppins'. Of course, I baked it in my trusty cast iron pan. But it didn't finish cooking until well after dark, so excuse the bad flash shot:
Atop the crust is a homemade pizza sauce, some "beefy" flavored TVP crumbles, sauteed kale, squash, red pepper, and onion. The traditional sauce gives this recipe an Italian pizza-y taste, but the cornbread certainly makes it Southern tried and true.

Bianca - The recipe software I got is called Living Cookbook 2008. I bought it on the recommendation of the chef program I'm about to start, and it was thirty-something dollars on Amazon.com. It's more for storing and sorting recipes then tracking your daily eats, but you might be able to integrate the information to use in that way. I really like the program so far, it's really easy to copy recipes from the internet into the program - I just added your whole wheat beer bread last night!

Had this for dinner- it was delicious! My omnivore (part-time veg) husband loved it.
We used grain sausage on top of the greens, etc and added raw onion before it hit the broiler!
Thanks for a wonderful idea!

I bought a bag of pink heart marshmallows about a week or so ago with the intent of putting them on lollipop sticks and dipping them in chocolate.
But for FHE last night I made doughnut holes and said, "Donut you guys know I love you a hole bunch!" While my kids were at school today I made sugar cookie bars.Then my kids came home from school with tons of candy from their class parties. To add chocolate covered marshmallows to that would be overloading the overload!
So I saw this idea
on pinterest the other day and thought it was cute. Then the idea hit me to do a Valentine version! After all, I already had the marshmallows!
So when The Hubs comes home from work tonight this is what he'll see taped to the door. I can't wait! The kids are SO excited!
|Love is a battlefield. You are about to get a heart attack.
P.S. You better run!
The arrow points to his ammo!
So if you need a last minute fun family idea for Valentine's Day today, feel free to have a marshmallow Heart Attack!
What are you doing to make Valentine's fun this year?
Lots o' love...especially because it's Valentine's Day,

The 'Wind Factory' Is Back In Action At Melges 24 European Sailing Series: Three Amazing Races In Riva Del Garda
20 May 2017
Claudio Ceradini's Altea ITA722 helmed by Andrea Racchelli, also boat of the day on Day 2 in Riva (c) IM24CA/ZGN/Mauro Melandri
May 20, 2017 - Riva del Garda, Italy - After a not so generous first day, the Wind Factory is back in action in Riva del Garda. Starting from the early morning, a steady Peler of variable intensity between 8 and 15 knots allowed the completion of three very fast races: in the end, a perfect day for the second event of the 2017 Melges 24 European Sailing Series and Italian Open Nationals.
Gian Luca Perego's Maidollis ITA-854 was, also in this second day of racing, among the greatest protagonists of the races: scoring the second bullet of the series, a second and a sixth, the Italian entry, already Melges 24 World Champion in 2012, maintains the first placement, chased by another Italian, Claudio Ceradini's Altea ITA-722 (2-4-1) helmed by Andrea Racchelli, also boat of the day today. Just four points now divide Maidollis and Altea, and things may change tomorrow when, after the fifth race of the series, the discard of the worst result will be applied.
The Hungarian entry FGF Sailing Team HUN-728 (8-3-2) with Robert Bakoczy in helm climbs up to the third position, while Travis Weisleder's Lucky Dog / Gill Race Team USA-848 (12-13-15), under the spotlight in this event for the presence of the 470 Olympian sailor and Melges 24 World Champion David Hughes aboard, slips down in seventh position after having closed as second the first day of racing.
In the Corinthian division, it was a stunning day for Miles Quinton's Gill Race Team GBR-694 that, with Geoff Carveth in helmt, with a fourth and two bullets, tightly holds the leadership of the ranking, followed by Swiss boat Andele SUI-821 (6-4-4) of Jörg Hotz with a margin of nine points. The Estonian past 470 class Olympian sailor Tõnu Tõniste, helming Lenny EST-790 (8-12-6), completes the provisional podium.
Upheavals in the Corinthian ranking may arrive tomorrow, after the discard: despite having been disqualified yesterday, in fact, the 2016 Melges 24 Corinthian World Champions on Taki 4 ITA-778 (1-2-2) helmed by Niccoló Bertola are boat of the day today, showing the potential to get on the podium of their division.
The intention of the Race Committee, presided by Giancarlo Crevatin, is to benefit once more of the early morning Peler also tomorrow and this choice has found the approval of the experienced boat-swain Fausto Maroni from Fraglia della Vela Riva.
In the last day of the event, first preparatory signal is scheduled for 9.00 am. Sun should be eventually shining, allowing for a great closing of the second event of the 2017 Melges 24 European Sailing Series in Riva.

PEMBROKE, N.C. - Coker College lost their first game of the year when cross-town rival Francis Marion University scored 10 points in overtime, erasing a six-point deficit to defeat the Cobras 72-68, Friday evening (Nov. 20) in the opening game of the UNC-Pembroke Classic.
Francis Marion improves to 4-0, while Coker moves to 1-1 on the year.
FMU's Robert Faulkner led the Patriots with 16 points, five rebounds, and three blocked shots before fouling out. Andrew Smith added 12 points and five rebounds, while senior guard Herman Mains added 11 points, including the go-ahead basket in the final minute.
Mason Ambler (Atlanta, Ga.) led Coker with 21 points and nine rebounds before he also fouled out. Vatrick Thompson (Columbia, S.C.) chipped in 15 points.
Thompson hit a pair of three-pointers to start overtime; giving the Cobras an early 66-60 lead. The two teams traded baskets giving Coker a 68-62 lead with just 2:21 left. Francis Marion then went on its 10-0 run with Mains scoring the go-ahead hoop on a layup with 25 seconds left and Kendrick Robinson sealing the win with two free throws with one second remaining.
Coker was down by as many as six in the first half before cutting the lead to just four, 32-28, at halftime. The Patriots were up 38-32 when Coker responded with a 9-0 spurt to reclaim the lead. The Cobras clung to a 59-54 margin with 1:42 left in regulation, but a 6-1 run by FMU forced the overtime period. Mains hit a three-pointer during that rally and Robinson tied the game on two free throws with 26 seconds left in regulation.
Coker will play host UNC-Pembroke on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. on the second day of the UNCP Classic.

Live Review: Nick Cave at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
How I've gone this long without seeing Nick Cave live is beyond me, especially since I've always… well, "always been a fan" wouldn't be accurate. (I own three of his albums.) More truthful would be to say that Nick Cave's music has never, ever irritated me. Considering Cave's extensive output, that's saying something. Combine it with the full-blown "holy shit" moments his songs have given to me—like hearing "Nobody's Baby Now" while nursing a $1 PBR at EJ's in Portland, in 1997—well, Nick Cave finally demanded to be seen live.
If you've seen him, you know. If you haven't, imagine a rail-thin circus ringmaster whipping a band of lions not out of but into aggressiveness. A flamboyant offspring of Valentino and Satan, Cave channels 55 years of romantic bandwidth into sharp, stinging things called "songs," which are more like forays across continents than things you might sing in the shower. These forays are not for the faint of heart, or, evidently, for the young: tonight, he had a children's choir backing him up, and when they exited the stage, they covered their ears and looked terrified.
Live Review: Lady Gaga at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, San Francisco
"Well, San Francisco," cooed Lady Gaga, wearing one of dozens of bazonkers outfits eclipsed in ridiculousness only by the feathers, leotards, Mickey ears, sequined chokers and ill-fitting hot pants donned by her audience, "this is our first date together, which means I can suck your cock and still feel okay."
So yeah, let us hail the emergence of a new pop star and all that. Lady Gaga sang, danced and swore her way into the shamelessly superficial affections of San Francisco for nearly two hours tonight, asserting her perfectionist dedication to fame, fashion, sex appeal and music. In that order. She also loves to say "fuck." She may love to say "fuck" more than making music. Crass, vulgar, loves it. Selections from the Gaga patter book:
"I don't know if you've heard, but I have a pretty tremendous dick."
"Let me see your fucking teeth! I am not a dentist! I'm a free bitch!"
"Do you like my show so far? If you don't, I don't care, 'cause you can fucking leave!"
"Do you want to fuck me? Come on, San Francisco!"
Adding up the costume changes, set changes, stories about her fans and her pushy record label and her days living in a studio apartment plus legs legs legs dance dance dance skinny skinny skinny epic chorus part dance breakdown red bikini flip hair #1 song in the country scream scream gay gay gay keytar fame fame aliens tinkerbell i love you i love you i love you i love you hundreds of counterfeit tickets outside dance dance dance fuck off dance rah-rah ah-ah-ah-ah skinny skinny fame crawl crawl shake shake singy singy sing song, Lady Gaga is decidedly here to stay. Despite sometimes not making very much sense when talking to a crowd.
"Some of you may not know where to fit in in the world, but know that you always have a place with me. When you are lonely, I'll be lonely too. And that is THE FAME!!" Huh?
"The way my fans work their cameras, it's like kings writing the histories of their kingdoms." Huh?
But fuck it, she was genuinely appreciative of her fans—she thanked them, like, 30 times, I swear—and put on A PARTY-BLIZZARD OF A SHOW. Entire auditorium letting hella loose for "Just Dance," "Paparazzi," "Poker Face," "Shameless," and big cluster-love we are one closer "Bad Romance." (It helped that her warm-up music was 35 minutes of MJ, which killed it more than opener Kid Cudi.) Everything on point, choreographed or improved with such fluidity so as to look choreographed, real live actual singing, backup dancers great, huge spectacle. "How to Give Fans Their Money's Worth," by Lady Gaga, coming soon from Da Capo Press.
Gaga makes a big deal of being "from the underground" and doing things her own way, and it's true—no major label is going to call a meeting to say, "You know, you've got the sound, the look, the moves, but what you really need is a video screen of a waifish girl throwing up all over you. Maybe you should also put the barrel of a machine gun in your mouth when you're at the piano and tell your audience to fuck themselves." That's all her.
But what Gaga has is a fulfillment of dual needs; one for that uncensored down-to-earthness and another for something that we kinda forget in all this dancing on the grave of the record industry that we've been doing. We need pop stars, no matter how obvious the myth. "The thing I hate more than anything is the truth," bespoke Gaga at one point tonight, "I can't stand the truth—in fact, I prefer a giant dose of bullshit."
Fuck if Lady Gaga doesn't have the whole illusion down.

Theo, if the recipe isn't secret, would you mind sharing it?
I'd like to know the type/brand/thickness of the stone and whether the oven has a convection feature and, if so, is it used? Also, is that semolina or cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza?Peter
I'll have to carefully weigh everything out sometime this week.
That dough calculator is only in percentages... Difficulty figuring it outThe 7/11 cans say 300grams on the label. I would imagine that water wouldnt differ too much in weight... But I dont want to half-ass anything anymore. My digital scale goes up to 10 lbs. I'll have to carefully weigh everything out sometime this week. Forgive my ignorance on the subject... I can operate a full fledge recording studio, but I can't figure out grams from pounds from ounces.... Maybe it's time to give one of my old pot-dealing college buddies a call, to break it all down for me I know they'd probably say, "Duuuuuude...you've come to the right place, bro...... 16oz to a pound, eight eighths to an oz....etc;"
I just weighed the water in the can again, filled to the very top, and the weight is now 3114 grams. I don't know how to go about deciding which one of these weighs should be used.
Peter and Theo,I had an empty can of 7/11. I just brought it in from the recycle bin and weighed the can tared out with water.The water in the 7/11 can weighs 3032 grams.Norma
Scotty123,I have followed your threads and advice for quite some time and find them all very refreshing, informative and usable. I also like the way you critique some members efforts and try to help them advance in their pizza making abilities...Kudos and Thumbs up! All of us can learn from it...I know I have.You also intrigued me to look into a soapstone replacement for my old cordierite stone. But I have one question to ask...I'd love to have your personal dough recipe and would like to see a pic of one of your finished pies! Given all the info you have dispersed so far, I'm dying to see how you do it. Perhaps post a video from start to finish on YouTube??? Man, that would be greatly appreciated. Or even some pics on here would do the trick.Looking forward to it...and I'm sure many other members, too. P.S.: Don't forget to include your sauce recipe!
You might have added more water then you did in your first weighing hence the difference of 82 grams. It doesn't take much of water to get a difference of 82 grams.
I will make two pies tomorrow night after the fridge does it's magic. Here is the calculator screen shot:

Salisbury, NC- In effort to find the winning path, the Cobra men's tennis team changed up their doubles teams on Monday afternoon at Catawba College, but still fell by a 7-2 margin.
The plan seemed quite right as the double team of Tyson Thompson (Lenoir, NC) and Jeremiah Dye (Summerville, SC) rolled at number three by a score of 8-3, while Danny Nash (Hilton Head, SC) and Evan Schreiner (Senaca, SC) battled back by from being down 7-4 to take the match 9-8 (5) in a tiebreaker to give the Cobras a 2-1 lead heading into singles play.
However, the Cobras were unable to keep it going in singles play as they were swept at all six positions in straight sets.
The Cobras will return to the courts in search of their first win on March 29th, as they play host to the Saints of Limestone.

In other words, it's like betting on red, black, 0 and 00 on a roulette wheel. Vegas won't let you do it, because you're covering all outcomes.

Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks. These include liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, and beer.
Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys. From there, it passes out in urine. If your body produces too much uric acid or doesnt remove enough if it, you can get sick. A high level of uric acid in the blood is called hyperuricemia.
This test checks to see how much uric acid you have in your blood. Another test can be used to check the level of

Normal values range between 3.5 and 7.2 mg/dL.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The example above shows the common measurement rangefor results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.

Acidosis Alcoholism
- Chemotherapy-related side effects
- Excessive exercise
- Gout
Hypoparathyroidism Lead poisoning
- Leukemia

text: Is the Corn Crop Beyond Recovery? July 13, 2012 09:50 PM Tweet An Evansville, Ind., planted this corn March 26. "We've had no significant rain since the first week of May. It has never been this dry this early." TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Many farmers across the Midwest are facing bleak corn yields. Market expert Jerry Gulke is one of them. This year, it's been hard to find farmers who are optimistic about this year's corn crop. Read AgWeb Crop Comments, and you'll read how corn hasn't pollinated and yield are dropping as quick as temperatures are rising. On Wednesday, USDA analysts chopped the projected corn yield to 146 bu./acre, down 20 bu. from earlier projections. "USDA surprised even me," says Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group. "I thought we would be looking at somewhere around 150 bu./acre, but they took an ax to it and dropped it 20 bushels per acre." Weather, of course, is the driving factor behind the low yield expectations. In the Corn Belt and Midwest, extremely dry conditions and near- to above-normal temperatures are maintaining severe stress on reproductive summer crops, according to USDA's Joint Ag Weather Facility. During the weekend and early next week, heat will persist on the Plains and intensify across much of the East and Midwest. Several days of 100-degree heat can be expected on the central Plains, and triple-digit readings may briefly return to the upper Midwest. During the next 5 days, little or no rain can be expected on the Plains and across the driest areas of the southern and eastern Corn Belt. Gulke says the stressful weather has been causing crop condition trend to fall. "We aren't to 1988 levels for crop conditions yet, but we're headed that way. I've been watching my crop deteriorate from what I thought was a record crop four weeks ago, down to 40 bu./acre or zero." The state of the corn crop is astonishing, Gulke says. Crops look good from the road, but upon further inspection the ears have little yield potential. "We're not seeing a 10% reduction, it's more likely 40% to 50% reduction in some places." Gulke says there are some people he trusts that are expecting around 130 bu./acre. "You plug that into the supply and demand equation, and that's not just a problem – it's a catastrophic event for our end users, livestock, ethanol and exports." Drought Destroys Demand In addition to lowering corn yield expectations, USDA also lowered demand expectations. "They had to lower demand, and I doubt demand will get better under these circumstances," Gulke says. "This is a forewarning to livestock producers – don't plan on expanding." Gulke says his fear is that the U.S. will liquidate cow herds and sow inventory to a point that permanently disables demand. "So when we do have a crop, we won't have demand to sustain it. That's a pretty bleak outlook." This situation, Gulke says is a risk manager's nightmare. "I may have the worst crop of my lifetime, and it all changed in a matter of four weeks. It's hard to react that fast. Earlier this year we all knew we were going to $4.50. But, when things change you have to change your attitude."

Lemon Poppyseed Cookies
I'm delighted to have Joanne from Eats Well with Others share with us her delicious lemon poppyseed cookie recipe. Joanne is a busy gal; she's a med student in NYC, a marathoner (just like my brother-in-law) and is an avid (and extraordinarily talented) baker. I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot but I think I've told you on numerous occasions that our family loves sweets. In addition to this, we always have guests over, especially for tea time, so having Joanne guest-post a sweet treat seems doubly fitting!
I used to be a Costco muffin inhaler.
Have you ever had one? They're big...huge, really...about the size of your face.
And they're strangely reminiscent of narcotic drugs in their addiction-inducing qualities. I mean, you KNOW you should only have half. But you have a pulse and therefore restraining yourself at all whatsoever is but a mere pipe dream. It's okay. We've all been there.
My favorite flavor was the lemon poppyseed.
It was infused with almond extract and was smothered in tangy sweet lemon glaze.
In fact, I may or may not have chosen which muffin I wanted based on the glaze:muffin top
ratio. Higher OBVIOUSLY being better.
(See ladies, muffin tops don't look good on anyone. Not even muffins.*)
*(Unless they have glaze on them.)
Anyway, eventually I grew up and realized just how much hydrogenated fat was in those muffins and how many miles it would take me to burn off just half of one. And so I gave them up. Cold turkey.
(By which I mean I moved out of my parents' house and had the muffins forcibly pried out of my hands upon exiting. Same thing.)
But a lemon poppyseed-less existence is really just too sad of a thought to entertain for even one second let alone an entire lifetime. Which is where these cookies come in.
They have all the same delicious lemon almond overtones of the muffins. (And the glaze. That heavenly glaze...) But without all the heft and heaviness.
Perfect for getting your Costco muffin fix or, if you weren't previously a lemon poppyseed "user", just for dipping into a warm cup of tea. Win/win no matter what your circumstance is.
Yields: 18 to 24 cookies1-½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 large egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ cup confectioner's sugar
1-½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the lemon zest and egg until blended. Mix in the almond extract. Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just incorporated.
Drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are set and just beginning to brown at the edges (don't let the tops brown!). Allow to cool on the baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a wire rack set over wax paper to cool before icing.
To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Add more lemon juice if necessary, until the glaze has reached a good drizzling consistency.
Glaze the cookies and let the glaze set before serving. Store in an airtight container.
