Few foods boast the versatility of a crêpe: Eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fill them with sweets or savories. Roll them. Fold them. Fry them. Gluten-free, gluten-loving? No problem.
Given the crêpe's polymorphic qualities, the Leonard family hopes Weaverville — and Asheville —will enjoy the pastry often. The family of four opened The Crêperie and Café of Weaverville last week.
They're recent transplants to the area. In December, they relocated from Ft. Myers, Fla., where they operated a food trailer that served sweet crêpes.
Jake remembers when they first took notice of the pastries: "We were in Colorado, and it was a tiny little town, and a blizzard's going on," he says. "Snow's going down. There was this little wagon that was kind of permanently parked, and there were six or seven people standing in line for crêpes."
Luckily, the Leonard's have a cozy café, so no one will have to stand out in the snow.
The menu includes pliable, sweet, roll-up crêpes and crispy (but not fried) savory varieties, in addition to paninis, sandwiches, coffee, tea, wine and beer.
Ellie, 14, looks forward to helping in the restaurant behind the coffee bar. Her favorite crêpes include a Greek yogurt and fruit variety as well as a chocolate-filled one. Her brother, Cuyler, 16, prefers sandwiches to crêpes. He likes the Cuban, which features pulled pork instead of deli meat.
Sweet fillings include classics, such as Nutella, cinnamon-sugar, cream cheese and fresh fruit. Savory varieties feature a variety of meats, eggs, cheeses and a rotating cast of vegetables, including asparagus, brussels sprouts and mushrooms.
The Leonards have carefully decorated the restaurant by hand. They've covered all the chairs and tables with a variety of vintage fabrics, ranging from floral to burlap, and painted the walls pale blue. The space features a small, open kitchen, and a long communal table runs down the center.
In a corner, Stephanie has set up a small vintage clothing boutique, which adjoins the antique store next door. "I love to reuse and repurpose and recycle," she says. "Up-cycle, before I knew that's what it was called."
The restaurant will host musicians regularly; one of the baristas doubles as an accordion player. Live artwork, Stephanie hopes, will take place on occasion. "We're not necessarily [a French restaurant], but a big thing over there is sketch artists," she says. "I would love to hire sketch artists to sit here like a fly on the wall and sketch the guests as they're eating and just walk over and give them a parting gift."
The Crêperie and Café of Weaverville, 113 N. Main St., Weaverville, opens Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit the restaurant's Facebook page.

For years, L.A.-based author Lizzie Garrett Mettler thought "tomboy" was a dirty word.
"I was a definite tomboy when I was a kid," she says. "It was a nightmare for my parents to get me into a dress for a stretch of years."
As she became a teenager and young adult, she pushed that side of herself away. That changed when she started reading street fashion blogs like the Sartorialist and A Cup of Jo, and saw comments from readers who couldn't get enough of Alexa Chung and Lou Doillon's "tomboy style."
Maybe, Mettler thought, there was something to her lifelong fascination with Belgian loafers, tattered Lacoste polos and Barbour jackets.
Indeed, in recent years, men's wear-inspired fashion for women has gone mainstream. It's seen at J. Crew, where you can find a "schoolboy blazer"; on the streets, where the Breton sailor stripe shirt trend won't go away; and on the runways, in Scott Sternberg's neo-preppy Boy by Band of Outsiders collection and in the 1970s-inspired trouser and oversized button-down shirt looks by Phoebe Philo at Celine.
"Something clicked in my head," Mettler says. "So I started a blog to answer my own question about what makes a tomboy stylish."
That blog, launched in May 2010, inspired the book "Tomboy Style: Beyond the Boundaries of Fashion," which was published this month by Rizzoli. The book is a visual history, documenting 80 years of women who blur the gender lines.
In her research, Mettler realized she discovered her own tomboy style while at boarding school, trading clothes with her frilly best friend Kingsley Woolworth, who favored bubble-gum pink bed linens and diamond stud earrings. By borrowing some of Kingsley's things and mixing them with her old favorites, many of them borrowed from her older brother, Mettler found her own style vocabulary, epitomized by a shirtdress cinched with a men's ribbon belt.
"A tomboy is a girl," Mettler explains. "Tomboy style is about a woman who channels her tomboy childhood, and mixes masculine and feminine elements in her wardrobe. It's not just wearing men's clothes."
And it's not just wardrobe; it's substance too.
Mettler had a particular interest in how tomboy style pertains to the past, "to women who pushed the boundaries," she says. These women include Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Jane Birkin, as well as those we're not so used to seeing in the style pages, such as Amelia Earhart, pictured after a deep-sea dive off the coast of Block Island in 1929, and presidential progeny Susan Ford, barefoot in shorts and a T-shirt in 1976, washing her car in the driveway of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
"I was looking at everything from 1980s movies like 'Some Kind of Wonderful,' in which the drummer Watts is a huge tomboy, to photos of women skiing from the 1950s. I noticed a broad range of women, but a neat thread that bound them together was a rebellious, adventurous confidence," Mettler says.
She consulted out-of-print fashion books and the Life magazine archives. "There are the obvious icons you'd expect, but there's also Ginger Rogers," she says. "I always thought of her as Fred Astaire's dance partner, this super-feminine, glitzy woman. But she also had a ranch in Oregon where she fly-fished and canned her own vegetables. I have a photo of her in her waders sitting outside on the ground."
Mettler organized the book into seven tomboy style archetypes. The "rebels" are rocker chicks Deborah Harry, Courtney Love and Patti Smith, poet laureate of punk, who would buy an expensive coat and immediately throw it into the washing machine to distress it and make it her own. The "sophisticates" include Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Diane Keaton, Janelle Monae and tomboy godmother Coco Chanel, who turned a fascination with borrowing duds from her paramours into a new way of dressing and introduced it as sportswear to the women of the world.
A 1940 photo of Osa Johnson dressed in safari gear, riding a zebra in Africa, exemplifies the "adventuress" archetype. The "jocks" push their bodies, along with the bounds of society. There's Chris Evert, pictured mid-game in 1972, wearing a butterfly-appliqued tennis dress and ruffled panties, and Eartha Kitt, swinging a bat while playing ball with the boys in Central Park in 1952. In the "prep" category, there'sMonaco's Princess Caroline, having a smoke outside her family's French villa in 1982, bundled up in an Irish fisherman sweater and rain boots and snuggling her German shepherd.
Attitudes about tomboys have certainly changed over the years, Mettler says. And tomboy style doesn't seem to be going away.
To that end, she plans to continue her blog, spotlighting tomboy style icons such as Françoise Sagan and tomboy style resources such as New York-based label Thom Dolan. "There's always something new to find," Mettler says, "whether it's a music video or a family photo someone emails
me of their mother scaling the Alps."

Broadbent Fine Rich Sweet Madeira .750L Portugal
The renowned wine critic, Michael Broadbent, MW and his son Bartholomew share a love for wine and in particular, Madeira. Winemaker Juan Teixeira works with the family's network of growers to create the blends but its Michael who goes to Madeira to personally taste and select each wine. In 1996, Bartholomew began importing his family's Madeira selections to the United States. Madeiras are fortified wines named after their point of origin; an island located 400 miles off the North African coast. During the Age of Exploration (15th century-17th century), Madeira was a regular port of call for ships travelling to the New World and East Indies. The first Madeiras were a happy result of that voyage; to prevent the wine from spoiling, neutral grape spirits were added. The intense heat and constant movement of the ships transformed its pale fortified cousin into a rich, oxidized wine. That aging process, called estufagem is now duplicated in one of three ways: Cuba de Calor is typically used to produce bulk Madeiras. The wines are heated to 130°F for 90 days in stainless steel or concrete tanks surrounded by either heat coils or piping that allow hot water to circulate around the container. Armazem de Calor is a somewhat similar but gentler approach. The wines are heated in large wooden casks in a room outfitted with steam-producing tanks, much like a sauna. The process provides moderate heat, over a longer period of time, from six months to over a year. The only company that uses Armazem de Calor is the Madeira Wine Company. Canteiro is the most method as the wines remain in oak casks, to slowly and naturally mature in the warm and humid climate of the island. By law, reserve Madeiras must age for at least five years in cask and those designated as Vintage or Frasqueira for at least 20 years. Making Madeira is similar to normal winemaking in that it begins with harvest, crushing, pressing and fermentation of the grapes in either stainless steel or oak casks. The varieties destined for sweeter wines Boal and Malvasia are often fermented on their skins, while drier styles of Madeiras from Sercial, Verdelho and Tinta Negra Mole are separated from their skins prior to fermentation. Neutral grape spirits are added at different points during fermentation depending on the desired level of sweetness. Michael and Bartholomew produce Madeira in three age categories: 3 year, 5 year and 10 year.

State officials are looking into the alleged misdeeds of an Ocala property management company after members of several local homeowners groups sent them complaints.
State officials are looking into the alleged misdeeds of an Ocala property management company after members of several local homeowners groups sent them complaints.
The Office of General Counsel has reviewed an investigation of Property Management Consultants Inc. by the Division of Regulation and has thus far found probable cause concerning five cases against the Marion County firm, according to Beth Frady, deputy director of communications for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Frady said the department has served Property Management Consultants with an administrative complaint for each finding of probable cause and the company has requested a formal hearing for each.
Meanwhile, one other case is pending in the Office of General Counsel, another was still under investigation as of Friday and five have been closed with no probable cause found, she said.
Case numbers provided by Frady corresponding to a summary of the complaints provided by a Marion County group calling itself the Homeowners Association Coalition indicates the probable cause findings center on Property Management Consultants' dealings in the following communities: Hardwood Trails, Heath Brook Hills, Lakes Villages East, Lake Joy Magic Lake and Golfview Estates.
Coalition members have filed complaints with officials concerning Property Management Consultants; Deborah Herren, its president; S. Wesley Herren, Deborah Herren's husband; and Michelle Santana, one of the firm's community association managers.
The coalition's allegations include:
That S. Wesley Herren continued to perform the duties of a licensed community association manager after voluntarily relinquishing his license on Oct. 31.
That Deborah Herren aids her husband in performing unlicensed duties.
That the company, also known as PMC Inc., improperly conducts board meetings and elections.
That PMC has misappropriated funds belonging to homeowners' associations.
That PMC has engaged in "gross negligence and misconduct."
Russ LaPeer, whose firm, Landt, Wiechens, LaPeer & Ayres, represents PMC and the principals named in the complaints, said his firm could only offer a "limited" response concerning the case.
"While a few, disagreeable, same individuals — with their own personal agendas — persist in repeating the same complaints, those are addressed by us each time, as is any other notion or position expressed by anyone else," LaPeer wrote in an email.
LaPeer added that in "contentious legal matters, the law is specific, and limited; and facts must be formed on the basis of sound evidence. That is the position we insist on for anyone in connection with any complaint."
LaPeer also claimed "no board of any homeowners association has ever filed any complaint, or voiced any dissatisfaction, concerning the management activities of Property Management Consultants, of Ms. Herren, Ms. Santana or any other licensed community association manager."
LaPeer said likewise he knew of "no board that has leveled any criticism, complaint or dissatisfaction" with Wesley Herren, who has been "out of the equation" as a community association manager after surrendering his license last year.
The coalition provided an email dated Nov. 7, signed by Deborah Herren and addressed "Dear Board Member," indicating Wesley Herren's decision to relinquish his community association manager's licenses was "based on false allegations from one homeowner with a personal vendetta against Wes."
"This move protects our associations and board from complainants' issues that were unresolved as much as 7 years before we were hired," the email read.
LaPeer's view concerning PMC and its principals differs sharply from the views of Yvonne Gordon and Don Kronen, two members of the coalition.
"There's actually about eight associations that have pulled away from (PMC)," Gordon said. "More are in the works but it takes a mountain sometimes to get them out of the picture because they'll do stuff like refuse to give you documents."
Gordon, who is a resident of and board member at Magnolias at Ocala, said her association is among those to have cut ties with PMC. The coalition has members from 15 communities, she said.
"We feel that this cannot go on," Gordon said. "We've banded together. We have meetings and we've tried to discuss what we can do to help not only our community but all the other communities that have been affected by this."
Gordon and Kronen say an example of some of PMC's misdeeds include disregarding the wishes of homeowners association boards in the hiring of vendors. In some cases the company has made unauthorized purchases with vendors it favors, sometimes costing thousands of dollars, without board approval, they allege.
Coalition members say they have participated in town hall meetings in the past year also attended by state Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, Department of Business and Professional Regulation staff and representatives of the State Attorney's Office and other officials.
Hays said he has taken an interest in matters related to homeowners associations and developers.
"The issues are so varied," Hays said. "Mismanagement of funds. Elimination of the boards by developer puppets. You have all kinds of things going on. And, quite honestly, you have times where there are some residents, who, no matter what you do, aren't going to be happy, but those are very few and far between."
Hays said he thinks many in the development community "want to get rid of the bad actors." He also described Kronen and Gordon as "determined."
"They speak from a standpoint of knowledge, not hearsay," he said. "They document everything. Don and Yvonne are great people to work with."
Frady of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation would not address the specifics of the case involving PMC. She said formal hearings are typically scheduled 30 to 70 days after cases are sent to the Division of Administrative Hearings.
When asked if his firm has taken any other action on behalf of PMC, such as negotiating a settlement, LaPeer replied, "Nothing else is going on."
"That doesn't mean nothing will, but as of right now, nothing else is going on," he said.

PatentsLooks like it is [past] time to do a MAJOR reform of the patent "system", like:
* Have all current patents expire in 1 year
* No patents for software (use copyright) or any living thing
* Any patent that is not is use by the patent holder is null and void
* Patents may be sold only once
* Patents must be licensed for no more than 0.01% of "device"_using_patent's cost.
* Patents are given for maximum of 18 years or patent's holder going out of business (being acquired is going out of business)
* Patents must be vetted by publishing and requesting evidence of "prior art".
There may be more but this would be a good start.

You do realize, don't you that that means revamping the entire way the USPTO does business, don't you?
I'd add making it a capital crime to resort to the East Texas district court which seems to have some very funny ideas about things like patents. ;-)

Re: PatentsYour patent reforms are far too complex. Allow me to proffer my own reforms:
* Abolish the patent system.
By definition, patents slow down progress. No amount of reforms are going to get around that. Your reforms might make progress faster and less costly than it currently is, but progress will still be slower and more costly than it needs to be.
Loki, 10 Jan 2012 @ 4:45pmPersonally, I'll go with Benjamin Franklin
Around this time, the deputy governor of Pennsylvania, George Thomas, made an offer to Franklin to patent his design, but Franklin never patented any of his designs and inventions. He believed �that as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously�

Re: Re: Re:"...However, he was still able to mass a sufficient fortune from his invention to enable him to retire from business."
Obviously Mr. Walker didn't realize he could have sold that patent to a deserving IP firm who could then "provide" licenses to the right companies and "protect" the invention from counterfeiters who wanted to steal a convenient way to help light their homes and businesses.
What a selfish jerk.
TtfnJohn (profile), 10 Jan 2012 @ 5:19pmOf course, let's not forget things that were never patentable until recently say software, business process, medications and others that serve no particular purpose but to make the end product more expensive rather than less so.
I'm not sure the software industry as a whole ever wanted software patents, a few greedy outfits who thought they had a business process worth selling weren't happy with copyright so talked some judge into making a ruling that made business processes patentable (essentially put paperclip A on paper stack b and place on desk C) and big Pharma got into the act by saying they'd go bust without pharmaceutical patents lasting well into the fifth milenia from now. Oh, and eternally renewable for making them a different colour or using white sugar instead of brown in the formulation which made no difference at all to the drug's efficacy or lack thereof.
Yes, the patent system, like copyright, is broken. Only worse. Patents were meant to reveal not hide behind. They were meant to lessen the number of business secrets which really hasn't happened given that it's a crime to "thieve" one. And, like copyright, they were intended to be for short periods not millennial in length. (For all practical purposes.) They were meant to accelerate invention not impeded it and to get products to market rather than keep them off.
Patent inspectors do need to be qualified for their work so that we'd have never ended up with patents on things like one click purchasing on the Internet and other delights the link illustrates. Instead of being paid by how many they approve and rubber stamp.
Just to remind the inevitable AC who will come by to try to remind us all that the inventor/author does need to get an income from their work both copyright and patents were created to provide an incentive to create. Not a lifetime income from those creations. They had a short life with the idea to get the author/inventor back out there to create some more not eternally live off the spoils. Or worse some faceless corporation to live off the spoils eternally or trolling companies to be formed to sue others who come up with something ever so vaguely resembling what they purchased a patent on from the inventor or the copyright on from the author. (Neither of which were practical/good enough to generate any income of their own, mind.) And have a bought and paid for court in East Texas.
(I'd say /end rant but that wouldn't be true. This will come up again, and again and again.)

NothingSo both patents and copyright are both seriously broken and abuse systems and the monopolies who have corrupted the system for their own profit are the ones who fight hard to avoid reform while extending their own controls.
Congress are clearly a waste of time and space. Instead of doing something useful they only welcome the bribe money while giving these monopolies whatever they want to buy.
So all we do is moan and protest where nothing much then happens.

And who cares again ??wow all that effort for less than 10 comments !!
That really does show just how much people CARE about patents, in stupid people making stupid 'infographics'.
if the says "30% of patents allready exist" that is reasonable, if not more than 30% the fact is.
And Masnick you know this !!!
Patents are A NEW METHOD of achieving a specific result.
Yes, that specific result may allready exist, but that new method does not.
Thermally enhancing bread !!! (toast), NO..
again, Masnick and Co. you get the basic idea's right but completely miss the actual point.
If you get bread that is a couple of days old, and is not as soft as it was when it was fresh, and you put that bread in a microwave over for about 10 seconds (or less) it makes that bread fresh again. (BUT DOES NOT MAKE FUCKING TOAST) !!.
Let's say Goodyear come up with a new type of tyre for cars, lets be more precise here.
They come up with a new method of creating a new type of tyre, they patent the NEW METHOD, they do not stop others from creating tyres from other methods, or using other materials.
That is why we have cars with tyresnow, and not slices of tree trunks that are almost round that are used as wheels.
it is all about the constitution and "to advance the art".
As in HOW that is achieved,,, oh thats right you dont like that bit, so you leave it out !!!!!
Why not show us some specific examples where patents have hindered innovation, (NOT IMMATATION)..
Also show us where if a company patetnts a new method of producing something, that somehow stops you from using the same thing produced by another method (which is also patented).
if you invent (highly unlickly) a light source (may be a LED), does that mean that ever patent for incandesent lights are now invalid ?
So then if I patent a method of making light (with a match) does that make the patent for the LED invalid ?
So intil you can make a valid point regarding patents why go to so much effort to show ignorance and stopidity.
When you are fully aware of what you are saying is a complete lie ! Do you do that because you have no other choice, as the truth and reality is so much different than what you can steal from others.
It's a shame you did not invent that chart masnick, but for you to do it would have required original thought, and for you to actually make YOUR OWN statements, and not just parrot what "someone else" said.
Masnick, you are always "just the innocent messenger", (but the one who profits from the work of others)...

Re: And who cares again ??Troll harder. Any bread heated for 90 seconds with a heat element 2500 Celsius will become toast.
How is replenishing the liquid content of a dry bread by vaporizing something, innovative?
20 years ago I used to get old bread that was hard as a rock, put butter on it and throw it in the microwave for 5 seconds, it worked like a charm, until the microwave exploded because of all the butter that accumulated on the circuits which took years.
I bet every single person who ever heated bread knows if it has ice crystals in it it will become fresh again.
That patent doesn't even explain how it happens, is not innovative where is the innovation?

Jose_X, 10 Jan 2012 @ 11:11pm
Re: Re: And who cares again ??The graphics has at least one flaw I noticed, IMO, and I think darryl plays off it.
The law doesn't say a patent has to be a breakthrough (as the graphics appears to suggest is the case). The crummy law more than gladly accepts the very low standard to which darryl refers: "non-obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art".
Lot's of things that are not obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art -- all inventive enough to be patentable by law -- can be derived by a person having ordinary skill in the art after possibly as little as a few weeks' or months' work (or less), especially once a client asks for a solution to that problem.
And people of above average skill may possibly find each and every single patent to be obvious -- at least as far as the word of the law goes.
So look at how many hands we are tying down for 20 years! Tying so many hands doesn't promote the progress, as a general rule. The opportunity costs and intellectual restrictions are huge.
Listing patents out by number to darryl may merely result in him/her stating that we are wrong despite the obviousness to so many people (and maybe darryl is below average in common sense) that when the inventiveness bar (and the implementation bar.. as with software) is so low, you obviously will hamper a very large number of people many of the time (obviously there might be some good narrow patents that have been filed in these past decades).
JEDIDIAH, 11 Jan 2012 @ 2:55pm
Re: Re: Re: And who cares again ??"Breakthrough" is a good shorthand for what was originally supposed to be patentable. This conflict goes all the way back to the beginning of the republic. The pendulum has swung both ways.
Our original patent examiner would have rejected most of this years patents for being far too obvious.
Any 17 year monopoly should be treated like toxic waste, not candy.

Re: And who cares again ??>> Also show us where if a company patetnts a new method of producing something, that somehow stops you from using the same thing produced by another method (which is also patented).
Each and every time the method you have is more narrow than the method that was patented.
If you give a higher detailed invention of more restricted scope, because you understand the technology better, you will be in violation.
And if you came up with this independently, you will be in violation still.
This is neither just nor a way to promote the progress. It is a way to tie down the smartest inventors the US has and/or raise costs for consumers through unnecessary monopoly grants.
And this is particularly wide reaching when we consider software, business method, and similar patents because these frequently have a very low bar to implementation and experimentation. Software is just writing.

Because of their ridiculous comments, like yours, were ridiculed and countered line by line by those of us who live in the real world. How long until you stop infesting this site? If you want to present counter-arguments, then go right ahead, we welcome debate in the comments: but make them COUNTER-ARGUMENTS, not attacks and put some thought into it. What you wrote above was a series of disconnected thoughts that simply by virtue of being typed into the same comment box result in a single paragraph of meaningless text.

Well done on the theft of five minutes of my time...

Why we all should lose respect for patents.There was a time that for one to get a patent he needed to prove it was something new, something that didn't existed before.
Today a bunch of leeches keep watching what others use and do and go running to the patent office to get a monopoly on that so they can stop others from doing it without paying them.
Those are social parasites that deserve nothing but scorn from society, not respect, they invent nothing, they create nothing they contribute nothing, they only take without giving nothing back.
halley (profile), 11 Jan 2012 @ 5:05amI tend to agree with the premises of the infographic, but I hate to say I was not impressed with the image at the bottom of #3. If you don't have concrete patent numbers to make the point, don't show patent numbers. It was like watching a really interesting drama on TV, but spotting a boom microphone hovering over the actors' heads: hard to maintain the assumption of accuracy in all the other numbers from that point on.
6, 11 Jan 2012 @ 1:55pmUnfortunately Laura is wrong, it doesn't have to be a "breakthrough". That's just what you think before you get into the patent field.
JEDIDIAH, 11 Jan 2012 @ 2:59pm
Turn your brain in to the bar.What else could possibly justify a 17 year innovation stifling monopoly?
Clearly the current practices at the PTO are badly broken.
It's not incorrect to point out that things should be done differently. There's even "precedent" for it.
So the argument that "this is the way things are done" is a huge fallacy.
6, 12 Jan 2012 @ 2:05pm"What else could possibly justify a 17 year innovation stifling monopoly?"
An enabling/enabled written disclosure of a novel, non-obvious invention? That's what currently does it.
"Clearly the current practices at the PTO are badly broken."
I don't know about "badly". But yes, they need some workin' on. Moreso though the issue is the courts and congress. It is as Boss man David Kappos said in the interview posted today on IPwatchdog. The congress and the courts have decided on the ridiculous managerie of lawls and policies governing patents, they are the root cause of most of the problems, but on the other hand, he contends that they did it for a reason, to keep the system flexible. I kind of doubt they did it for that reason, but it is an argument one could make. IMO they did it because they are dumb, which btw is a fact that can be proved by substantial evidence.
6, 12 Jan 2012 @ 2:05pmAnd just btw, I didn't make an "argument", I simply stated that Laura was wrong. And she is.

another biased article�Patent troll�
Call it what you will...patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, shell company, etc. It all means one thing: �we�re using your invention and we�re not going to pay or stop�. This is just dissembling by large infringers to kill any inventor support system. It is purely about legalizing theft.
Prior to eBay v Mercexchange, small entities had a viable chance at commercializing their inventions. If the defendant was found guilty, an injunction was most always issued. Then the inventor small entity could enjoy the exclusive use of his invention in commercializing it. Unfortunately, injunctions are often no longer available to small entity inventors because of the Supreme Court decision so we have no fair chance to compete with much larger entities who are now free to use our inventions. Essentially, large infringers now have your gun and all the bullets. Worse yet, inability to commercialize means those same small entities will not be hiring new employees to roll out their products and services. And now some of those same parties who killed injunctions for small entities and thus blocked their chance at commercializing now complain that small entity inventors are not commercializing. They created the problem and now they want to blame small entities for it. What dissembling! If you don�t like this state of affairs (your unemployment is running out), tell your Congress member. Then maybe we can get some sense back in the patent system with injunctions fully enforceable on all infringers by all inventors, large and small.
Those wishing to help fight big business giveaways should contact us as below and join the fight as we are building a network of inventors and other stakeholders to lobby Congress to restore property rights for all patent owners -large and small.

When accepting a mission that requires the transportation of cargo, you can only use the space on your ship for stashing away cargo. Cargo space on your escort ships can only hold commodity cargo for trading. An escort containing mission related cargo runs the risk of being destroyed, thus putting the mission in jeopardy. Your benefactors trust you, not your hired guns or escorts.

This is not going to be an easy year following the Tour de France. In fact, it may be the toughest-yet for me, due to the unexpected near-total cessation of train service in the Alps this year (due to a massive modernization project). The original plan, which has worked out very well for a number of years, was to work out of a single city for as long as possible, getting close to the nearby stages using the train when they weren't close enough to ride to. So with that in mind, I set up reservations in Avignon (to see the Ventoux stage, which simply can't be missed despite being out of the way and accessible only by car) and Grenoble, from which all of the Alps are, theoretically, accessible.
Theoretically. We should have been able to take trains to places reasonably close to each of the stages, but that plan's now shot. Here's what's in store for the Alps-
This is the most-heavily-affected stage. It's a two hour drive, in good traffic, from Grenoble to Chorges, and on the day of the TdF, could be a whole lot longer. In all likelihood it could be a totally-jammed road, with time trials being very popular and there being so few roads in the area.
Time Trial, Wednesday, July 17th.The plan will be to drive from Grenoble to Veynes, about 100k and supposedly 90 minutes over very twisty roads. This is the toughest stage to catch, because there are so few roads into the area and it carries huge interest because it could determine the final winner of the TdF. It's not very long, just 21 miles or so, but all of it up & down.
View Larger Map
The beauty of driving to Veynes instead of Gap is that we'll be taking a route that virtually nobody else is. Traffic congestion should be minimal, and no problem parking at the Veynes train station.
From Veynes, we catch the 11am train to Embrun, arriving right at noon. We then try to intersect the course somewhere on one of the two main climbs, using local roads whose suitability is in question (but that's never stopped us before!). For the return we ride 30 miles back to the Veynes train station to pick up our car, sine the last train out of Chorges (at the end of the time trial) leaves at 5:25pm, likely too early by half an hour or so.
Alpe d'Huez, Thursday, July 18th. Traffic isn't an option for this one, it's assured. There's only one route from civilization to the base of Alpe d'Huez, a narrow road that starts in Vizille, about 10 miles out of Grenoble, and climbs relatively-gradually for 20 more miles. It would be nice to ride from Grenoble to Alpe d'Huez, but that would preclude doing anything but going up & back. The route below has us parking about 2 miles short of Bourg d'Oison (the base of the mountain), riding further up the valley and then taking one of the amazing "balcony" roads that intersects the main climb just a bit up from the bottom. Then we ride to the top and descend down the back side, the Col de Serenne, and back to the car where we will be waiting in traffic… forever.

2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT

2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT Review
Reviewed by Automotive on
The 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT combines the luxury and utility of the Escalade SUV with the power and carrying capacity of a two-passenger truck. When you're in SUV mode, the luxurious amenities of this vehicle will probably make you forget there's a powerful truck inside, just waiting to be unleashed, thanks to the midgate panel that provides an eight-foot truck bed that's perfected for hauling big loads. There's also a 7600 lb. towing capacity with this truck, and the EXT is designed so that you can load it up and still stay in control on the road, even in tough conditions. If you're looking for an all-purpose truck that still has all the amenities and comfort of a high-end luxury vehicle, the 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT is a great choice. If it's within your budget, sure to upgrade to the Luxury or Premium trim so that you can benefit from Magnetic Ride Control, larger wheels and some enjoyable entertainment and luxury interior options.
New For 2013
The Cadillac Escalade EXT is enjoying a multi-year run as one of the premier luxury sport utility trucks on the market, so it's not ready for a redesign just yet. The enhanced navigation system is a carryover from 2012, and 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT owners will still enjoy the Escalade EXT's classic features, including:
- V-8 Engine
- 5.3-feet truck bed, expandable to 8 feet
- 7600 lb. towing capacity
The 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT, in Radiant Silver Metallic, White Diamond Tri-Coat, or Black Raven, looks as impressive as any SUV or truck on the market. You'll find a power glass sunroof, roof rack, painted finish bumpers, and a hard bed cover that removes to reveal one of the best looking pickup trucks on the road. The Premium trim features power-retractable running boards and IntelliBeam headlamps, along with a body colored grille and 22-inch chrome alloy wheels.
Interior & Cargo
Like the Escalade, the Escalade EXT interior is heavy on comfort and luxury, with dual climate controls, wood, simulated alloy and leather trim, and a heated steering wheel. The OnStar system offers a host of services, including directions and emergency assistance, and the tilt steering wheel features audio and cruise controls, which, along with hands free calling, means you never have to take your hands off the wheel. The luxurious seating includes fourteen-way power driver and passenger leather bucket seats with power lumbar support.
One of the highlights of the 2013 Escalade EXT is its control center. This clear, color central computer provides navigation, climate control, and driver information, and it allows you to access the BOSE 5.1, 10-speaker surround sound system. You also can't beat the convenient touches of Franchise Favorites and Tune Select, which finds your favorite businesses if they're in the area, and your favorite songs if they're playing on the SiriusXM radio, respectively.
You should have all you need when it comes to space in this sport utility truck, just fold up the midgate panel and you've got a full 101 cubic feet of protected, secure cargo space, with bonus top box and underfloor storage for extra items or items that you don't want touching the inside of the vehicle.
In addition to the StabiliTrak stability control, electronic traction control, and Magnetic Ride Control, which help keep the wheels where they're supposed to be, even in harsh road conditions, the EXT also include OnStar emergency crash assistance, roadside assistance, and stolen vehicle assistance. For theft prevention, the Escalade EXT features an engine immobilizer and anti-theft system. Other safety features on the 2013 Cadillac Escalade EXT include side mirrors that alert you to cars in your blind spot, a four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), front and rear ventilated disc brakes, front and side driver and passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, a backup camera, and child safety locks.
Driving Experience
The 6.2-liter, V-8 engine matched to a heavy duty six-speed automatic transmission gives you the power you need, with a healthy 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. Even when it's weighed down, you'll get great control over this vehicle thanks to the standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD), computerized road sensing suspension, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, and available Magnetic Ride Control, which constantly analyzes the road and adjusts to provide just the amount of damping you need just when you need it.
As you might expect, the Escalade EXT is a bit of a gas guzzler, averaging 13/18 mpg city/highway, but you'll save some gas with the Active Fuel Management system, which adjusts from eight cylinders to four when possible.

IMPD Officer Dies of Injuries Suffered in Shooting
Indianapolis Star via YellowBrix
January 26, 2011
INDIANAPOLIS – An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer wounded in a shooting last weekend died this morning of his injuries.
David Moore, 29, was pronounced dead about 6:30 a.m. at Wishard Memorial Hospital, said Public Safety Director Frank Straub.
Moore's family had announced Tuesday night that they would remove him from life support as soon as donor recipients could be found for his organs.
An American flag and a city of Indianapolis flag were flown at half-staff outside the City-County Building near the Washington Street entrance.
Moore, an IMPD patrol officer since 2004, was shot four times — twice in the face — during a traffic stop on Sunday morning on the Near Northside, near 34th Street and North Temple Avenue. He had been in a coma in the intensive care unit since then. Moore also was shot in the hip; a fourth bullet to his chest was stopped by his protective vest.
A brain scan conducted Tuesday revealed that he had lost most brain function.
Police Chief Paul Ciesielski was preparing a formal statement.
Police Chief Paul Ciesielski said a medical scan this morning revealed that Moore will not survive his considerable injuries.

The 14 Plus 3
I am off on vacation after today's show, so want to leave a useful post up top while Guy Benson sits in for me. Thus a post directing you to the campaigns that can use either or both your financial and volunteer help.
The 14 Senate seats currently held by Democrats and for which there is a strong GOP challenger are listed below. There are also three GOP primaries in which I have taken sides. I support Senator Mitch McConnell's re-election in Kentucky, Rep. Jack Kingston's nomination in Georgia and Rep. James Lankford's nomination in Oklahoma.
The 14:
Here are the 14 Senate races for seats presently held by Democrats but for which Republicans are either favored to win or serious contenders:
1. West Virginia: Rep. Shelley Moore Capito v. no one.
Jay Rockefeller quit after Capito got into the race. She will win, going away.
2. South Dakota: Former Governor Mike Rounds in South Dakota v. no one in South Dakota
This is a mortal lock for the popular Rounds.
3. Arkansas: Rep. Tom Cotton v. the hapless legacy senator Mark Pryor in Ark
Pryor won his seat because his dad held it for years. Now the combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq Tom Cotton has a lead and is building it day by day, as shrinking Pryor struggles to erase all his positive endorsements of Obamacare. Most recently he was for repealing the cuts to career military COLAs after he was for them.
4. North Carolina: A businessman and former Speaker of the North Carolina House Thom Tillis is already ahead of another Obamacare booster, Denocratic incumbent Kay Hagan.
5. Michigan: Former Lt. Governor Terri Lynne Land is contesting an open seat left so by ancient Carl Levin, who has designated a no name with a propensity to disappear even more from voters' minds. Land is running on the same ticket with popular GOP governor Rick Snyder, and has established an early lead.
6. Virginia: Ed Gillespie is running against a popular former governor-turned-senator Mark Warner, in a purple state, but Warner is tightly tied to both Obamacare and the new governor Terry McAullife, and Gillespie is a pro's pro with terrific fundraising ability and genuine and deep roots in the Commonwealth.
7. Alaska: Either Mead Tradwell or Dan Sullivan will beat Mark Begich, who only won the seat six years ago because a corrupt Department of Justice prosecution of Ted Stevens hounded the late Stevens from office. Begich provided the crucial 60th vote for Obamacare, and Alaskans won't forget.
8. Montana: Rep. Steve Daines must unseat the recently appointed John Walsh, who was gifted his seat when clueless Max ("Obamacare is a train wreck") Baucus was exiled to China in an obvious attempt to hang on to the seat.
9. Colorado: Rep. Gardner is young, charismatic and an experienced veteran of Rocky Mountain State politics who spent years on the U.S. Senate staff of Wayne Allard, a stint in the Colorado legislature, and checked both big boxes –as a CSU undergrad and CU law grad. Mark Udall is Barack Obama in a badly fitting cowboy hat.
10. Louisiana: Rep. Bill Cassidy is in a dead heat with long-time hanger-on Mary Landrieu, and will have to go through the "jungle primary" before facing Landrieu head-on a few weeks later. If, as expected, the Republicans already control the incoming majority, he will win in a romp. If the Senate hangs in the balance, more money will flow into the Lousiana race than has ever been seen there before.
11. Minnesota: Mike McFadden is a self-funding successful businessman who has an uphill but doable battle with comedian Al Franken, who along with Bernie Sanders and Barbara Boxer, define the left edge of the United States Senate. If Gopher State voters get tired of being the butto jokes because of Franken, McFadden can win here.
12. Iowa: This is an open seat, but with popular Republican governor Terry Branstad running for an easy re-election, if the GOP nominates the right candidate from among many contenders, he or she could win in November against an off-the-shelf-left-wing Democrat, blah blah blah Bruce Braley.
13. Oregon: Dr. Monica Wehby is a pediatric neurosugeon –exactly the sort of person Obamacare booster incumbent Jeff Merkely didn't want to face but will in November.
14. New Hampshire: Former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown has been a second-home resident of the Granite State for decades and has moved north and taken the plunge into the race against Jeanne Shaheen –a strong partisan of Obamacare.

Installing archzfs
Using the archzfs repository is highly recommended for effortless updates.
Embedding archzfs into archiso
See ZFS#Embed_the_archzfs_packages_into_an_archiso.
Using the archzfs repository
Activate the required network connection and then edit
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and configure the mirrors for pacman to use. Once that is done, edit
/etc/pacman.conf and add the archzfs repository:
# nano /etc/pacman.conf
[demz-repo-core] Server = http://demizerone.com/$repo/$arch
Next, add the archzfs maintainer's PGP key to the local trust:
# pacman-key -r 0EE7A126 # pacman-key --lsign-key 0EE7A126
Finally, update the pacman databases and install archzfs:
# pacman -Syy
This is also the best time to install your favorite text editor, otherwise nano or vi will have to be used.
# pacman -S archzfs dosfstools gptfdisk vim
Partition the destination drive
Review Beginners'_Guide#Prepare_the_storage_drive for information on determining the partition table type to use for ZFS. ZFS supports GPT and MBR partition tables.
ZFS manages its own partitions, so only a basic partition table scheme is required. The partition that will contain the ZFS filesystem should be of the type
bf00, or "Solaris Root".
Partition scheme
Here is an example, using MBR, of a basic partition scheme that could be employed for your ZFS root setup:
Part Size Type ---- ---- ------------------------- 1 512M Ext boot partition (8300) 2 XXXG Solaris Root (bf00)
Here is an example using GPT. The BIOS boot partition contains the bootloader.
Part Size Type ---- ---- ------------------------- 1 2M BIOS boot partition (ef02) 1 512M Ext boot partition (8300) 2 XXXG Solaris Root (bf00)
An additional partition may be required depending on your hardware and chosen bootloader. Consult Beginners'_Guide#Install_and_configure_a_bootloader for more info.
Format the destination disk
Format the boot partition as well as any other system partitions. Do not do anything to the Solaris partition nor to the BIOS boot partition. ZFS will manage the first, and your bootloader the second.
Setup the ZFS filesystem
First, make sure the ZFS modules are loaded,
# modprobe zfs
Create the root zpool
# zpool create zroot /dev/disk/by-id/<id-to-partition>
Create necessary filesystems
If so desired, sub-filesystem mount points such as /home and /root can be created with the following commands:
# zfs create zroot/home # zfs create zroot/root
Note that if you want to use other datasets for system directories ( /var or /etc included ) your system will not boot unless they are listed in /etc/fstab! We will address that at the appropriate time in this tutorial.
Swap partition
ZFS does not allow the use swapfiles, but it is possible to use a ZFS volume as swap partition. It is important to set the ZVOL block size to match the system page size; for x86_64 systems that is 4k.
Create a 8gb (or whatever is required) ZFS volume:
# zfs create -V 8G -b 4K <pool>/swap
Initialize and enable the volume as a swap partition:
# mkswap /dev/zvol/<pool>/swap # swapon /dev/zvol/<pool>/swap
After using
pacstrap to install the base system, edit
/<root>/etc/fstab to ensure the swap partition is mounted at boot:
/dev/zvol/<pool>/swap none swap defaults 0 0
Make sure to unmount all ZFS filesystems before rebooting the machine, otherwise any ZFS pools will refuse to be imported:
# zfs umount -a
Configure the root filesystem
First, set the mount point of the root filesystem:
# zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot
and optionally, any sub-filesystems:
# zfs set mountpoint=/home zroot/home # zfs set mountpoint=/root zroot/root
Set the bootfs property on the descendant root filesystem so the boot loader knows where to find the operating system.
# zpool set bootfs=zroot zroot
Export the pool,
# zpool export zroot
Finally, re-import the pool,
# zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id -R /mnt zroot
If there is an error in this step, you can export the pool to redo the command. The ZFS filesystem is now ready to use.
Install and configure Arch Linux
Follow the following steps using the Beginners' Guide. It will be noted where special consideration must be taken for ZFSonLinux.
- First mount any boot or system partitions using the mount command.
- Install the base system.
- The procedure described in Beginners' Guide#Generate an fstab is usually overkill for ZFS. ZFS usually auto mounts its own partitions, so we do not need ZFS partitions in fstab file, unless the user made datasets of system directories. To generate the fstab for filesystems, use:
# genfstab -U -p /mnt | grep boot >> /mnt/etc/fstab
- Edit the /etc/fstab:
- When creating the initial ramdisk, first edit
/etc/mkinitcpio.confand add
zfsbefore filesystems. Also, move
keyboardhook before
zfsso you can type in console if something goes wrong. You may also remove fsck (if you are not using Ext3 or Ext4). Your HOOKS line should look something like this:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard zfs filesystems"
- Regenerate the initramfs with the command:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
Install and configure the bootloader
For BIOS motherboards
Follow Grub2#BIOS_systems_2 to install grub onto your disk.
grub-mkconfig does not properly detect the ZFS filesystem, so it is necessary to edit
grub.cfg manually:
set timeout=2 set default=0 # (0) Arch Linux menuentry "Arch Linux" { set root=(hd0,1) linux /vmlinuz-linux zfs=zroot initrd /initramfs-linux.img }
For UEFI motherboards
EFISTUB and
rEFInd for the UEFI boot loader. See Beginners' Guide#For UEFI motherboards. The kernel parameters in
refind_linux.conf for ZFS should include
zfs=bootfs or
zfs=zroot so the system can boot from ZFS. The 'root' and 'rootfstype' parameters aren't needed.
Unmount and restart
We're almost done!
# exit # umount /mnt/boot # zfs umount -a # zpool export zroot # reboot
After the first boot
If everything went fine up to this point, your system will boot. Once. For your system to be able to reboot without issues, you need to enable the ZFS service and set the hostid. The proper way to do this is:
# systemctl enable zfs.service
When running ZFS on root, the machine's hostid will not be available at the time of mounting the root filesystem. There are two solutions to this. You can either place your spl hostid in the kernel parameters in your boot loader. For example, adding
The other solution is to make sure that there is a hostid in
/etc/hostid, and then regenerate the initramfs image. Which will copy the hostid into the initramfs image.
# hostid > /etc/hostid # mkinitcpio -p linux
That's it! Your system should work and reboot properly now.

May O'Donnell:
A Preliminary Inventory of Her Collection in the Performing Arts Collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
|O'Donnell, May, 1909-2004
|May O'Donnell Collection
|2 document boxes, 2 oversize folders (0.84 linear feet)
|May O'Donnell (1909-2004) was an American dancer, choreographer, and teacher. She was a soloist with Martha Graham's company from 1932 to 1938; in 1949 she founded her own dance troupe, which performed in New York and on tour until the 1980s. The May O'Donnell Collection, 1930s-1996, consists of personal and performance photographs and publicity materials.
|This brief collection description is a preliminary inventory. The collection is not fully processed or cataloged; no biographical sketch, descriptions of series, or indexes are available in this inventory.
|Open for research
|Gift, 2005 (G12430)
|Processed by:
|Helen Adair, 2005
The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
|May O'Donnell (1909-2004), an American dancer, choreographer, and teacher, studied with Estelle Reed in San Francisco and Martha Graham in New York. She was a soloist with Graham's company from 1932 to 1938. In 1939 she presented her first program of her own work, and from 1940 to 1942 she toured with José Limón. She returned to Graham's company in the mid-1940s, appearing as a guest artist from 1944 to 1952. In 1949 she founded the May O'Donnell Dance Company which performed in New York and on tour until the 1980s. She was married to the composer Ray Green. May O'Donnell died in 2004 at the age of ninety-seven.
|The May O'Donnell Collection, 1930s-1996, is arranged into two series, I. Photographs and II. Publicity Materials. The photographs are subdivided into personal and performance photographs, with the latter arranged alphabetically by title. The majority of the photographs show May O'Donnell or her company in performance, 1930s to 1980s. Except for one color photograph for Homage to Shiva, all photographs are black and white. Some of the photographs are reproductions of originals not held by the Ransom Center.
|The publicity materials are arranged chronologically and consist of promotional fliers, programs, reviews, and articles, supplemented by a few miscellaneous items such as a 1959 contract with the University of California and two letters, one from 1956 written by May O'Donnell to the critic Walter Terry, and a 1978 letter from Grace Cohen Jaffe (formerly Grace Marcus) to May O'Donnell (filed in the 1949 folder).
|Elsewhere in the Performing Arts Collection, the Dance Collection contains reviews of performances by May O'Donnell's company. A compact disc titled "Ray Green and His Music" is located in the Ransom Center Library.

Show hours are noon to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 20 and Friday, June 21; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 22; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 23.
Tickets are $12 for adults. Children 12 and under and active military, police and fire personnel are admitted free with identification.
The event's updated name reflects the boat show's new naming sponsor, as well as the show's greater participation from international vendors and larger yachts.
"We have lots of boats and products coming from around the world," said show manager Dave Geoffroy, who is also vice president of sponsoring organization National Marine Manufacturing Association. "We've made an effort to bring in larger boats, including eight or nine superyachts in the 80- to 100-foot-plus range."
This will be San Diegans' first opportunity to experience a taste of the superyacht lifestyle since the last Yachtfest was held three years ago.
The show will be about 30 percent larger this year, reflecting an improving economy and the public's renewed embrace of boating, Geoffroy said. Expect to see more than 150 vessels, both new and brokerage boats, ranging from personal watercraft, dinghies and inflatables to mid-size sail and powerboats up through luxury superyachts.
Barrett Canfield, president of South Coast Yachts, will exhibit the firm's largest-ever display of Bénéteau yachts, both sail and power.
"It's always been a good show for us. We've always been able to debut new models. This year, we'll be introducing four new sailboats," plus a current model powerboat, Canfield said. "Bénéteau powerboats are the fastest-growing brand. They've always been built, but were little-known on the West Coast. We have only one available to show."
Canfield recommends the show because of "the great variety of styles of boats and great deals." Best of all, he said, banks are again lending at the lowest rates he's ever seen.
More than 50 vendors will offer an array of boating accessories like electronics, canvas, anchors and other marine gear, as well as boating services that will exhibit under tents at Spanish Landing Park.
Participants can choose from over 100 educational interactive seminars and skill-building clinics — both on the water and on land — focusing on both sail and power boating subjects, including boat-handling and seamanship, docking and maintenance and repair. The show's website lists both free seminars and Discover Boating's on-the-water "At the Helm" clinics, for which advance registration is recommended and extra charges apply. Fees for each Discover Boating clinic include same-day boat show admission.
The show also features a "Be a Diver" pool, where guests equipped with a swimsuit can get an introductory diving lesson and find opportunities to try out stand-up paddling, kayaking and other paddling sports.
Last year's attendance was up about 64 percent over the previous year to more than 5,000 guests, as the boating market began to show marked signs of improvement. Greater interest and sales at San Diego-area boat brokerages indicate continued revived expenditures on water-based pursuits.
The family-friendly boat show offers food for sale, including tacos and drinks at the Bay Club Restaurant, as well as a visiting gourmet food truck. Paid parking is available at the Port District lot adjacent to the hotel.
The show is located at the Sheraton
1380 Harbor Island Drive.

And this is how wonderful new dishes are born! I love Indian potato dishes -- the potato is such a good carrier for the spices.

Lydia - yep, potatoes are great spice-carriers. And cauliflower is probably my next favourite spice-carrier:)
Joey - I've been looking into Indian vegetarian dishes recently and you're right, they variety is enormous!
DaviMack - let see, maybe we can indeed meet up for a sag aloo in Glasgow:)
Holler - I'm sure you would. If you're not sure about beetroot greens, then simply use dear old spinach leaves!
Thank you, Meeta! It's quite a compliment coming from you!!
Great Big Veg Challenge - thank you! PS I made your roasted marrow the other day - delicious! I'll be blogging about it in a few days.
Tanna - you mean the beet & potato pie? I'm so glad you liked it!

Hmm, I'm indian, and I say, Sag Aloo is definitely indian.
Its not found in cookbooks because its more of a home-cooked dish.
- 7:44 pm, August 23, 2009
Good one. I thought of the same idea when I had some leftover beet greens. But I wasn't sure if it would taste good. Then I Googled and found your recipe. BTW, I remember that the recipe they used to make at home called for mustard greens. Beet greens come pretty close to the original taste.
- 1:09 am, March 08, 2014
- Pille said...
Mallika - spinach is quite flavoursome when seasoned properly, me thinks. And we've got great - and flavoursome potatoes here in Estonia. But they do benefit from adding spices, of course :)
James - so thrilled to read that!
Sankalp - thank you, thank you! Glad to read there some Indian-ness :)
Anonymous - I do grow leaf mustard at home, so will try the recipe again later this year. Thanks for the tip!!
