Just when you thought you are so tired or actually lazy to make an awesome dessert, try this fruit salad. It's so good you will impress yourself and boost your morale. This is the perfect dessert for a lazy weekend. We have them for three (yes that's 3) consecutive weekends already and we don't think we'll experience a taste fatigue any sooner. Okay, the analogy about lazy and having it on several weekends does not seem to favor me. I admit I have been so sluggish to hit the kitchen lately but it's due to the work overload at the office. I intentionally included the word "office" for I believe it is the magic word …… to at least make it a valid reason for not being able to post anything for quite some time now …… to lessen the feeling …… of guilt that is. :-)
Featuring this simple and easy version of the well loved Filipino dessert is just in time for the holiday season ……… in particular the "Paskong Pilipino". This salad is among the top favorites Filipino table fares during such special family occasions where only the grandest foods are served.
Different regions have different preparations of fruit salads. The variation is dictated by the use on the types of fruit as well the kinds of sauce. Generally though, fruit salad is a dish consisting of numerous kinds of fruit, served in a liquid, either in syrup or simply in their own juices. While fruit salad or "buko salad" in the Philippines is typically made with condensed milk, cream, canned fruit cocktail or fresh fruit specially young or tender coconut and relatively sweet the other countries' fruit salads can be savory with the use of sour cream or yogurt or mustard and spicy with the inclusion of peanut and shrimp paste.
Obviously Filipino fruit salad is served as a dessert while others can be eaten as a side dish or an appetizer. Being a Filipino, the fruit salad recipe that I am sharing today is typically served after indulging in a grand meal …… to sweeten things up.
As explained, the most popular version called "buko salad" has strips of young coconut as the predominant fruit ingredient. But since the usually available young "king coconut" or "thambili" as called here in Sri Lanka, are often harvested too young that it barely contains a kernel, I substituted apple in this preparation. This may be very easy and simple but you'll be surprised with the taste. Instead of wondering with those last words I said, go and try doing it.
The ingredients needed are as follows: 1 big can fruit cocktail, 1 short can condensed milk, 2 tetra packs all-purpose cream and about 3 medium crunchy apples. For the exact sizes or quantities just refer to the photo below. I don't think there is a chance you'll get it wrong. :-)
First step is to peel, core and dice the apples to about 1 cm cube. Never mind if it's not a perfect cube. Mine is so rough, right? Just do this swiftly before apple turn to a little darker hue which happens shortly.
The next steps are just merely mixing-up everything together. In a wide bowl place the diced apples then add in the drained fruit cocktail.
Pour in the condensed milk followed by the all-purpose cream and mix everything gently …… and I mean really gently. The elusive 3 pieces of cherries might just disintegrate. You wouldn't like that I'm sure.
This is important: For those who prefer it really sweet you can use the whole condensed milk or if you are like us who want it not overly sweet, reduce the milk quantity by about ¼ cup approximately. Feel free to adjust it according to your or your love ones preference. :-)
At this point you can start eating it but I would suggest you wait a little longer.
Transfer in a covered container and keep inside your freezer for some time …… until the salad is chilled and sauce starts to harden. Transfer into small serving bowls, serve and be delighted.
Commence the wonderful experience …… a journey to richness, wonderful flavors and comforting sweetness. For a moment you will forget your problems. :-)
This time, I don't need to remind you to enjoy. I'm certain you will. c",)

I loathe, er love, oh really?
15 comments:
Ah, you see, Madonna was given a lovely big hydrangea by a fan at the Venice film festival and she rolled her eyes and dropped it to the ground and said "I loathe hydrangeas" as if he should have known that if he were a true fan.
This video just draws out the whole thing and keeps her name in the news about something other than her panned movie W.E. She in Toronto now to promote the film.
the second shot if a close up of another hydrangea. I rather like it.I like hydrangeas as a backdrop for other flowering shrubs. I've never been a fan of the regular shape and regular size and showiness. As if they do this on purpose, just to annoy me. What I love is the look of individual blossoms up close. The variation of an individual petal--your second hydrangea shot. I think the Madonna thing simply highlights the idea that we love or loathe them. I USED to loathe them, until I saw someone use them as one part of her shrub garden. And she let me grab a blossom. She changes the soil from year to year, from acid to base, to change the color.
I enjoyed this post and the comments. A LOT.
Glad you stopped by. For anyone who stumbled here, don't be shy to say 'hi' and let me know you've visited!

Federal Govt Fires Back At Those Criticizing Jonathan's Trip To Brazil
Federal Government on Wednesday responded to those criticizing President Goodluck Jonathan's decision to go ahead with the trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the United Nations' Earth Summit, RIO+20, saying his absence will not in any way hinder the flow of governance.
There have been several reactions to the president's decision to embark on the trip while some parts of the country were on fire.
Speaking to journalists at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting, Information Minister, Mr. Labaran Maku, said that was why the constitution made provision for the post of the vice president and in this case, Namadi Sambo has effectively assumed the position of leadership in the absence of the president.
Besides, Maku reminded the critics that only on Tuesday the vice president convened an emergency security meeting with security chiefs to examine security situation in the country.
Responding to questions from journalists, Maku said:
"The President can take decision from anywhere in the world. His absence will not hamper his power to act. The Vice President effectively takes charge of affairs once the president is out of Nigeria and he is in touch with him on hourly basis.
"There is no vacuum, the most important thing is that the president and the vice work harmoniously and are in constant touch.
"If the president panics what will the people do. We must stop making politics out of the unfortunate incidence going on in Northern Nigeria.
"There are people who think that because the president is out of the country he cannot make decision for the country. It is not true. Today, with advances in information technology, every president in this world, anywhere he is, even from the skies, can give directive to any defense chief to act on any matter in the country.
"We are leaving in a new world and I think people should understand this. We should not play politics with this. The president can initiate a conversation with the vice president and the defense chief even on the plane. They can do so from any part of the world with the advances in technology that we have reached.
"And the president is in touch with this country from wherever he is in the world on an hourly basis. It is not as if because the president is out of the country, it means that he is not involved, he is not engaged on the country.
"First of all, it is either that people are thinking backwards or politics has reached a level where we are ignoring the realities that the world is in today.
"The second thing to tell you is that the vice president effectively takes charge of the affairs of the country any moment the president is out of the country. We are running a democracy. We are not running a military regime where if the military head of state travels, everything waits until he comes back."

TAP Portugal expands presence at Lisbon with eight new routes
- TAP Portugal expanded its Lisbon (LIS) offering with the addition of eight new routes during the course of last week. Surprisingly, only one of the new airport pairs faces any competition, namely the 1,114-kilometre sector to Nantes (NTE), which is served six times weekly using the Star Alliance member's 49-seat ERJ 145s. In addition, the 7,529-kilometre sector to Bogota (BOG) in Colombia is classified as the longest route. Commenting on the route launch to St. Petersburg, Volker Wendefeuer, COO, NCG, said: "We spent a lot of time to make the launch of TAP Portugal regular flights possible. It is a long-expected event for us. By entering the St. Petersburg market, TAP gave all north-west region citizens an opportunity to get acquainted not only with Portugal, but also to use convenient connections as part of the airline's flights to places including Madeira, Azores, and countries of South America, Africa, Cape Verde". See how Belgrade, Gothenburg, St Petersburg and Tallinn airports' FTWAs compares to the others sent in this week from around the world.

I believe the writer only creates half the story, and that you complete it by bringing your imagination, experience, and heart to the tale. I am happy to share the journey with you.
I've written more than 20 novels, about 80 short stories, four children's books, some comic books, screenplays, and a couple of non-fiction books, as well as five collaborations with J.R. Rain. Many of my tales are based on supernatural legends from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and I also write mystery and suspense thrillers that are most often compared to the work of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
I've also published Liquid Fear and Chronic Fear with Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint and McFall with 47North, as well as a number of audiobooks and foreign translations. I love hearing from you, because you're the reason I do this, so let's connect! Learn more about my work at www.AuthorScottNicholson.com

Brian Flay dicusses aligning goals between programs and settings at the Emphasizing Evidence Based Programs for Children and Youth Forum held in Washington, D.C. on April 27-28, 2011.
The National Clearinghouse on Families and Youth recently profiled The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Funding and Programs List, which outlines which federal departments have programs that help prevent and end homelessness and includes programs specifically designed to assist homeless youth.
In an interview with the National Clearinghouse on Families and Youth, Kim Klein, an Oakland, CA fundraising consultant, shares five resolutions youth-serving nonprofits should make in 2012 to help them increase the amount of money they raise from donors.
This is a 58-page report which introduces the CDC's framework for program evaluation and its key concepts. It provides in-depth outline of the 6 six steps in program evaluation (engaging stakeholders, describing the program, focusing the evaluation design, gathering credible evidence, justifying conclusions, and ensuring use and sharing lessons learned), as well as 4 standards for effective evaluation (utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy).
Details the National Science Foundation's work to advance the informal science education field as a whole and provides an overview of impact evaluation and a look at some of the common issues,concerns, and opportunities in evaluation practice.
Systematic reviewers routinely prioritize evidence in numerous ways. This paper provides a framework for understanding the possibilities, considering influential factors, and choosing among the myriad options. This will help enhance the transparency of review processes, which in turn may help users determine how different reviews of the same topic can reach different conclusions.
This review surveys 125 published and unpublished studies related to fidelity and adaptation balance, spanning more than 25 years.
Felipe Castro discusses fidelity and adaptation at the Emphasizing Evidence Based Programs for Children and Youth Forum held in Washington, D.C. on April 27-28, 2011.

(redirected from Chromic anhydride)Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia.
(ănhī`drīd, –drĭd) [Gr.,=without water], chemical compound formed by removing water, H2O, from another compound; the anhydride can also react with water to form the original compound. An acid anhydride reacts with water to form an acid; e.g., sulfur trioxide, SO3, reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, H2SO4. A basic anhydride reacts with water to form a base; e.g., calcium oxide, CaO, reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. Anhydrides of organic acids have many uses. They react with alcohols to form esters; e.g., acetic anhydride, (CH3CO)2O, reacts with ethanol, C2H5OH, to form ethyl acetate, CH3COOC2H5, a useful solvent. They also react with ammonia and primary or secondary amines to form amides. Other important acid anhydrides include maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.anhydride
[an′hī'drīd] (chemistry)
A compound formed from an acid by removal of water.
1. a compound that has been formed from another compound by dehydration
2. a compound that forms an acid or base when added to water
3. any organic compound containing the group -CO.O.CO- formed by removal of one water molecule from two carboxyl groups

Peter Ubel is a doctor specialized in the field of bioethics and the research of human behaviour. As he confesses in his blog, he likes to explore the dialectic of rational and irrational forces that affect the people's health, their happiness and the way society works.
I attached a promotional video for his book "Critical Decisions" which delves into the realm of shared clinical decisions. "The attitude of people to the risk of contracting a disease, argues Dr. Ubel in this video, does not depend on whether they understand the numbers explained to them, but on how they interpret them and, thus, very often important clinical decisions are taken based on the subtlety of perception." For example, many patients are more inclined to opt for an intervention with a 90% survival rate than for one with a 10% mortality rate. Given a risk, fear always wins over reason.
With the advent of scientific medicine, the doctor took the pedestal of therapeutic efficacy, and now, since he had to take a step down due to the patient's newly acquired decision rights, he doesn't quite know how to act. Not surprisingly the formation process of a doctor is a long desensitization to the pain and illness, but instead the actual medical practice almost always moves in the universe of emotions. "Lost in Translation," says Dr. Ubel, to summarize the variety of cases discussed in the book. "Many doctors are not concerned as much with what patients really think whilst the patients return the same attitude by showing little interest in the doctor's often incomprehensible jargon."
Those who think the shared clinical decision is a technical or even legal issue (a rights issue) are mistaken. It's a question of emotions and there is no way of managing it but to place oneself in the other's shoes, even for a moment, and understand that when a patient receives bad news, the last thing he needs is a storm of numbers and probabilities. Sometimes he only wants a little time and understanding, and the doctor who doesn't know how to recognize this need does a disservice to medical profession.
In summary, this is an analytical work for lovers of good medical practice.

Submission + - GMail app update blocking non-GMail servers
ukoda writes: Given the GMail Android app is bundled with most Android phone and has offered support for email accounts with other service providers it has become a popular email client. However sometime in November last year Google updated their app to silently reject self-signed certificates. For users of servers with self-signed certificates their email stopped coming in. Refreshing the inbox appears to go normally with no problems reported. From this support thread it is apparent that server connections are being rejected with the warning "Certificate Not Valid" even when the "All Certificates" option is chosen. The explanation from Google is they are improving security but for some users that had a working secure connection they now have to either stay with GMail, and turn off encryption, or move to a new app such as K9 or BlueMail. The lack of meaningful responses from Google leave little hope of things improving anytime soon.

This is a great little find for theater-goers or anyone needing to stop for a repast while walking the Boulevard. The beers are ice cold and hearty, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable and not too upscale. Loved sharing the small plates.

Popped in for a pre theatre dinner when I was on my own. Staff were lovely and very attentive. I ordered a couple of share plates but to be honest one would have been more than enough. Having said that, both dishes were delicious, and the accompanying beer (the sabre toothed squirrel ale) was just about the best ale I've... More
The grilled cheese sandwich was good, the rigatoni and cheese was yuck. Everything else, olives, sardines, fries, charcuterie and cheese ok. Pricey for what you get. Slow service.
Pre theatre sharing menu. All items were very good, except the Bone Marrow, which was just OK. Service was very good, cocktails and other beverages were reasonably priced. Quite enjoyable overall!
Stopped in for a drink after a show at the Pantages theater across the street. Great little bar and eatery on Hollywood Blvd. Lots of dark wood and a nice ambiance to relax and have a drink. Didn't try the food, however the charcuterie plate looked tasty with various meats and cheeses. I'd definitely stop by for a meal next... More
We got a last minute table on a foggy Wednesday evening. Drinks were on the back patio next to the fire pit. I ordered the Magnolia which I'm told is never removed from the drink menu. For good reason. This is a small plates place so the four of us shared about 6 dishes, and that was more than enough... More
Very good food and a great location on Hollywood Blvd. Terrific staff. They have an odd policy about tipping; rather than let you decide the tip, they just add a 20% charge on the bill. They also suggest that their entrees are designed for sharing. There was plenty of food, but more a decent single portion then shareable. Just unusual... More
Our friends (having eaten here in the past) suggested we eat here before going to the theater across the street to see The King and I.

Top 5 Tablet PCs: Compare and Contrast
Top 5 Tablets to consider
It was only last April that Apple's iPad exploded onto the scene, igniting the market for tablet devices almost instantly as iPads sold in their millions upon millions. Since then other manufacturers have been scrambling to bring out credible products to compete in the tablet space, and 2011 promises to be a bumper year for new devices.
Which begs the question: which ones should you consider? If you are thinking of buying a tablet this year, here, in no particular order, are the top 5 devices to check out:
1 Samsung Galaxy Tab
Front and rear cameras, Adobe Flash for online videos, $250 with a 3G contract, and available now: Samsung's Galaxy Tab Android tablet has a lot going for it, and has been well received as a credible alternative to the iPad.
But Samsung doesn't hold all the cards: the mobile device's screen resolution is lower than the iPad's, the screen is dimmer, and let's not forget that with a 7" display the Galaxy Tab's screen real estate is considerably smaller. It's also worth mentioning that - for the moment, at least - the Galaxy Tab runs Android 2.2 Froyo, rather than the more tablet-oriented and recently released Android 3.0 Honeycomb that many of the latest tablets are expected to run.
2 Motorola Xoom
It's not available yet, but the Xoom tablet has already caused quite a stir, winning Best In Show at this year's CES in Las Vegas. It sports a bigger, higher resolution screen than the iPad, a grunty Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor, and the 3G version will be upgradeable to 4G in the near future. It's also got two well specced cameras - front and rear - and 32Gb storage capacity which should be expandable via inexpensive flash memory cards. The Xoom is also the first tablet to run Google's tablet-oriented Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system.
Among its arsenal of sensors the Xoom sports a barometer, unique among all the tablets announced so far. But beyond weather apps it's not quite clear yet what a barometer will be useful for.
3. Research In Motion Blackberry Playbook
RIM looks to have covered everything with its Blackberry Playbook tablet which is due any day now. The device will be fully multitasking thanks to its powerful TI dual core chip and its brand new Blackberry Tablet OS which is based on the QNX kernel. The mobile device may have a relatively small (7") display, but it does have the capability to run Flash 10.1 videos, and as a bonus it will also work as a large screen viewer when connected to one of RIM's Blackberry smartphones.
On the downside it's not clear how many mobile apps will be available to run on the Playbook, although recent reports http://www.bgr.com/2011/01/26/exclusive-blackberry-playbook-and-smartphones-to-run-android-apps/ suggest that it may be able to run most Android mobile apps. Whether this is technically possible though remains to be seen.
4. iPad
The device which got the tablet revolution rolling, the iPad sis till the one to beat thanks to a vibrant developer community, the hugely successful App Store, and the general air of Apple magic that accompanies it. And that's not even mentioning the high resolution 9.7" screen, beautiful user interface and multi-tasking (sort of, anyway) iOS 4
Of course choosing an iPad means saying goodbye to Adobe Flash (unless you want to use a workaround provided by the Skyfire browser, which transcodes Flash video remotely and streams it as HTML5 to the device) and agreeing to whatever restriction Apple decides to place on the tablet and the apps it can run. Unless you are prepared to jailbreak it, of course.
5. iPad 2
Apple will raise the bar to new entrants into the tablet market some time in 2011 - probably Q2 - with the introduction of a successor to the iPad.
Not much is known about the highly anticipated iPad 2, but it is expected to be powered by a beefed-up dual core A9 processor, offer an even higher screen resolution, and include front and rear cameras - similar to the iPod Touch and iPhone and most other tablets - for applications like video-conferencing and FaceTime or Skype video calling. CDMA compatibility is also expected, with a possible capacity increase to 128Gb also on the cards.

A Gin Sling is a simple drink that is made with regular table sugar, gin and soda water mixed in a cocktail shaker and poured into a collins or highball glass filled with crushed ice. The Gin Sling has never been as popular as the Singapore Sling, a drink made of lemon juice, dry gin and cherry brandy, but the Gin Sling is a wonderful drink that gin purists will appreciate. This recipe makes one Gin Sling, on the rocks.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Cocktail Shaker
- Crushed ice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 113gr. gin
- Collins or highball glass
- Soda water
- Lemon peel, for garnish
Show More
- 1
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice.
- 2
Add the sugar and gin to the cocktail shaker and shake gently for 10 to 15 seconds. Shaking too hard will bruise the gin.
- 3
Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a collins or highball glass half-filled with crushed ice.
- 4
Fill the glass with soda water and garnish the drink with a twisted lemon peel. Serve immediately.
Tips and warnings
- If you prefer, use simple syrup in the cocktail instead of the icing sugar.
- To add a tropical flavour, try adding one-half ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice or Rose's sweetened lime juice.

Life Quotes
The secret of realizing the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius!
Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. `Nothing` is the worst thing that can happen to us!
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
My mother said to me, `If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.` Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It`s a palliative. The remedy is death.
The fact that our task is exactly commensurate with our life gives it the appearance of being infinite.
But thoughts, the slave of life, and life, time`s fool,
And time, that takes survey of all the world,
Must have a stop.
Finding one important thing in your life doesn`t mean you have togive up all the other important things.
It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.

In the "happy birthday and yay, you are now almost old enough to drink" department, this year marks the 20th year the Santa Fe Photography Workshops have been around. For the past 20 years, in a quiet (well, ok, sometimes not-though I have to admit I personally blame Joe McNally for that bit) sleepy little ex-convent of a building, tucked away on a high mesa, somewhere near the top of Canyon Road, the workshops in Santa Fe have brought together some of the best image makers from all over the work, to congregate, share, create, inspire, and coexist. Broken down in week long classes, covering everything from black and white master printing, to making your own book, marketing your work, or learning the beginnings of Photoshop, the workshops teach, train, inspire, and have become, over the course of the last 20 years, almost a rite of passage for most photographers. (It's been said by some that you've not a "real" photographer unless you've been out to Santa Fe and experienced something like the workshops firsthand.)
Rather than celebrate (though I guess now I'm doing that too) I thought I would present you with a riddle. This year, as part of their workshop offerings, the Santa Fe Workshops have many workshops in what they call "Workshops Around the World." According to their website, "Workshops Around the World embrace the photographic exploration of nature, cultures, and places in the U.S. and around the globe."
So, here's the riddle.
As part of their offerings, they are going to visit some of the following places: Nepal, a photographic journey through the Katmandu Valley, Bhutan, land of the thunder dragon, and Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali.
The riddle is this: which, if any, of these three workshops would you pick, assuming that they were about the same price. That is, which of these three places (if any) would you want to visit first in the context of a photography workshop. And, as you're mulling over that riddle, think about this next one as well. Which workshop do you think that I would pick?
Isn't it fun to even think about it? To think about a journey to such a distant land? To wonder what it would be like, to think about the pictures you'd take, the people you'd get to meet, the food you would eat? Do you wonder what the bars look like there, or maybe the restaurants? How about the streets? Are they crowded with many tourists? Or bustling with locals en route to busy markets? Doesn't it just blow your mind to think about it? Where would you even begin to photograph that and what kind of pictures would you get?
It's an interesting riddle and, perhaps, I'll post my answer in a few days. For now though, I'm busy just enjoying the question. (Oh, and, it goes without saying really but, Happy Birthday Santa Fe Photo Workshops!)
Until next time...

Happy Birthday-Now Almost Old Enough to Drink
2 comments:
- mythopolis said...
I love Santa Fe and Happy Birthday to this organization, but I am too much into outsider art and too much closer to the border, to think much of the galleries there, and the exaggerated prices of art there. Good food, though, and I like the Pueblos outside of town. Las Cruces and Mesilla are more for me. Because of the outlaws, I guess. : )
- Carol said...
@Mythos, you'll get not disagreement from me about that. Canyon Road (gallery road in Santa Fe) can be quite "snooty" at worst. The Workshops though are not really about that. It's more about the craft and process of image making and the power of community to inspire. Hard to explain, maybe you just have to be a participant to enjoy it really, but that's how it works (at least, that's how it did for me.)
El Farol is the bomb. Las Cruces and the high road are fantastic, Mesilla is kind of fun, though it's gotten bigger and more touristy.
I kind of love the little towns that nobody notices, you know, like Las Trampas. Those always have a kind of special place in my heart (and camera viewfinder) I guess. - 3:21 PM

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on making a bunch of wallpapers for my iPad. Many of them are wallpapers that I've cropped personally and all are saved at 100% quality with zero compression or blur. All safe for work, all wallpaper that looks great on the iPad. No busy stuff here. If you have any that match my criteria, please feel free to submit them. ipad backdrops - daily wallpaper updates deserving of your ipad Enjoy!
I miss a button "download all" in your collection. It's very nice to watch the backgrounds.. but downloading one by one is a b*tch. Thanks for good collection!!!
Very nice collection, well done. Will keep an eye on updates! Is it possible to auto-rotate different backgrounds on the iPad2? Never used it on my mac but it would seem a real treat with these gems. (Recieving my first iPad in two weeks)

Over the years I've shared many delightful recipes using breadfruit, so it gives me great pleasure to be able to share this wonderful breadfruit salad (like a potato salad) with you. I have a number of breadfruit recipes in my arsenal I'd like to share with you, but being in Canada means paying very heavy prices.. 'when' it's available in the markets. BTW the breadfruit pie recipe is still one of the most well received recipes I've shared to date.
You'll Need…
3 cups cubed breadfruit (cooked)
1/2 cup bell pepper
1/4 scotch bonnet pepper (diced fine)
1/2 cup celery (diced finely)
1/4 cup red onion diced finely
3/4 can peas and carrots
3 hard boiled eggs (diced)
pinch paprika
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
pinch black pepper
* We cooked the breadfruit in salted water so I didn't add any further salt, but do adjust to your own liking.
Peel, core and boil the breadfruit in salted water. Cool, then cube into 1/2 inch pieces. Then prepare the other ingredients so it's just a matter of assembling when the breadfruit has had time to cool.
If you struggle to get perfectly boiled eggs, check out this video tip: How To Cook Perfect Boiled Eggs. << Click! Then it's just a matter of cutting the boiled eggs into small pieces.
Place the breadfruit, eggs, onion, scotch bonnet pepper (no seeds), celery, bell pepper and the peas and carrots (drain and rinse with cool water) in a large bowl, then get ready to make the rick and creamy sauce to bring everything together.
Stir (be gentle) well. Then in a small bowl, place the mayo, vinegar, mustard and black pepper and whisk. Now pour this mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients mix well (with a folding motion) and finally top with a dusting of paprika.
Be sure to place in the fridge to chill before serving. Yet another delicious recipe using breadfruit, especially during the summer months when you're having those wonderful BBQ events.
Before you go, don't forget to check out the latest cooking videos, connect with me on twitter and join our community on facebook. oh yea! leave me a comment below – it's appreciated.
If anyone is interested I saw canned bread fruit in a grocery store Valli produce if you live in the Chicago land area
How many serving is this for?
i blend one of the egg with mayonnaise mustard olive oil vinegar .sugar a pinch f curry ,onion and garlic. and pour it on my breadfruit
I tried it and was great, thanks Chris
Nice. I think adding flaked smoked fish or saltfish would enhance this dish
I live in the BVI, we have some breadfruit, we love salad, but can't stand mayonnaise – what could I use as a substitute please?
How about vinegar sugar salt oil. My German mom never put mayo on potato salad. With potatoes you sprinkle the hot cooked potatoes with vinegar and then dress the salad. The bread fruit seems to get rubbery with direct contact to vinegar.
In the US we call what you mentioned German potato salad
I also don't like the strong flavor and high fat content of mayonnaise so I use quarter part mayo mixed with three parts miracle whip. Hope this helps.
Thank yo so much for uploading this video and recipe! Doing this for my Food and Nutrition practical since I have a lot of breadfruit.
I live in Grenada where there is an abundance of breadfruit. I made this salad with some slight variations, left out the paprika, dijon mustard, eggs and vinegar. I used mayonnaise and added a touch of black pepper, garlic powder and all seasoning powder and fresh thyme. It was delicious! I'll be sure to try out your other breadfruit recipes.
My hubby is from Grenada..and I am going to try tis out for him.
Thanks for letting me know some of the add ons you did.

^I thought that was "skank." I believe "skant" is a portmanteau of "skirt" and "pants," because it's sort of a culottes-like garment.
Since we are parsing here, I grant you that aesthetics vary by CULTURE, but not likely TIME. Culture does have an impact on initial impressions, although those impressions are often changed when a person actually wears the garment in question. Time however is not as big of a factor, as the human body generally needs to have certain types of covering, and fashion tends to follow those needs.
The skant-wearing officers aren't too dissimilar to some of the people I see occasionally walking about town. I live in the London area, and we have pretty much every ethnicity, culture, religion and personal oddity on the planet, so little surprises me when it comes to fashion choice . Some of the Scottish visitors from the Highlands come down in traditional highland dress, meaning short kilts on the men, complete with sporran and other additions. People often ask them about it, and they tend to play up their Scottishness. At least, I think they're playing it up... Basically, when big, beefy guys can be seen strolling in and out of McDonalds wearing highland dress, a skant is unlikely to raise any eyebrows. By the 24th century, where there's no longer a sexual division of labour, and with a million humanoid cultures added to the mix, I imagine the concept of gender-specific clothing would largely be obsolete. Who even knows what's normal anymore, when there's so much variety and so little tying any one person to a particular social identity?
Too late, sir. The entire bridge already knows your private affairs. No, please, please don't clam them up.
Two points.. 1) Isn't the kilt in a way culturally gender specific? If you see someone wearing one it says "Scottish male". 2) Aren't pants unisex? The contention, as I understand it, is that 24th century Starfleet officers should be wearing unisex garb, but don't they already do that?
Who's to say what the "unisex garments of the... future" will be? Given the vast number of types of garments we've had during the last several thousand years, it'll probably be some combination of them... or something entirely different that may owe its origins to new technology or even new alien cultural influences. On the subject of trousers and whether or not people who wear them are also people who ride horses... that may have been true centuries ago, but now? I live on the Canadian prairies and have been on a real live horse exactly twice (hated it both times). None of the reasons I wear pants have to do with horses. I've had the not-really-fun experience of shivering in the early morning because it was simply expected for girls to wear dresses to school. I remember my grandmother telling me how she wished she could have worn pants when she was younger, given how cold the winters got here. You'd think that she could have worn pants, given the fact that she and her younger brother had to ride a horse to get to school... I'm not saying fashion doesn't play a huge part in whether or not people in this region wear pants, but the weather definitely does.
1) Yes, it is. I'm sorry about any confusion, there - I wasn't trying to make a direct comparison between now and the 24th century Federation; I meant that after another few hundred years of cultural integration and intermixing, advanced technology eroding gender roles in occupation, and the influence of a million alien cultures, it would be like today's cosmopolitan cities taken up to eleven. Kilts are indeed gendered, but I assume that the Federation has so many styles and traditions (many of them probably contradictory!) that they'd eventually all bleed into one another. Which in some way might well be a shame. Then again, the novels have explored the "Federation diversity or Federation homogeneity" issue before. It's an interesting question, isn't it?, and a very important one. People take their symbolic adherence to cultures, sub-cultures, tribes, genders, etc, very seriously. Does a completely free and diversified society eventually undermine itself by leeching the significance from its own component cultures - its functional diversity eventually torn apart into complete alienation and troubled individuality? 2) Oh sure. I wasn't trying to justify the odd uniform variant, I was just throwing my two cents into the "looks silly" discussion. Again, sorry for any confusion - I need to be clearer rather than waffling on. (I have no idea why Starfleet would want to introduce a skant option, myself)
Pants are unisex NOW. As any woman born prior to the 1960s would tell you, a woman in pants prior to that would have been considered quite scandalous and as unacceptable as a man in a dress.
Here is my unnecessarily long and detailed discussion of the "silly" concept. Lets use (in my mind) apt comparison. The characters all speak English. Why? Because the television audience for Star Trek historically has been majority English speaking. It is incredibly ethnocentric to think that 300 years from now that the majority of the entire human population spread across the galaxy will be speaking English, and even more ridiculous to think that aliens would speak perfect English (including the mouth movements).The creators of the show recognized that and created a "easy out" with the universal translator. So there is an in - universe explanation of why people are all speaking a language in the future that is amazingly easy for us in the present to understand. Even in the novels there is little discussion of the how alien X is somehow speaking perfect English or how in the middle of speaking perfect English it can choose to use it's "native" language for a few words. Apparently the universal translator can be selectively turned on and off at a whim. The existence of the skant is a similar type situation. It is apparent that the creators of the show decided that the skant was not selling very well to the MAJORITY of the intended present day audience, and it went away. Of course an author or story teller could specifically mention its existence or have a character wear it, but I think the chances of that are as slim as an author describing the fact the Universal Translator is actually doing the talking when an non - human is conversing with a human via subspace. So we can all take comfort that in the 24th century Garak speaks beautiful Cardassian and that his shop used to specialize in repairing Lt. Bashir's skants, even if that never shows up on camera.
Tell that to the women in past centuries who've had their body shapes unnaturally and often painfully distorted by whalebone corsets, bustles, foot-binding, stiletto heels, torpedo bras, and the like. You're enormously underestimating how big a difference time can make, perhaps because you're only approaching the question from a male perspective. Historically, men's fashions have been more guided by practicality than women's. Exactly. Just 60 years ago, a woman wearing pants would've been considered a transvestite. It's actually a sexist double standard that we today consider it perfectly acceptable for a woman to wear pants but ridicule the idea of a man wearing a skirt. I've always applauded the idea behind the skant; it was an attempt on Roddenberry and Theiss's part to reject that double standard, to say that it was just as acceptable in the future for a man to wear a "dress" as for a woman to wear pants. Maybe it would've worked better as off-duty attire than a uniform variant, but they already had the precedent of the miniskirted female uniforms of TOS.
So I supremely confused. Is the going argument that a single garment, long enough to cover the buttocks on an average human but no longer than mid thigh needs will serve as proof that Starfleet is not a sexist organization? Or is it that this same garment needs to be described by a TrekLit author so that the entire written world knows that HUMANS in starfleet have progressed to the point that gender issues are no longer important? Why is THIS garment so important as a symbol? Why do we assume that in the future wearing a skirt is "gender neutral"? Would it not be just as likely that 200 years from now female humans are forced to wear pants, and that it is considered "feminine" for males to wear pants and therefore Starfleet shows it's progressive nature by having male humans wear them as well? I just don't get the argument here. Personally I think that skant is a silly looking, impractical outift. At least a few people agreed with me because they disappeared. However, if a Treklit guy like our dear Christopher decided to have a character wearing one, then I would roll my eyes and still enjoy reading the book. In the future what people wear is not a big deal. what they DO is the big deal. A Trek Lit author is free to make all kinds of interesting choices, that reflect his or her view of what the future will be like in an organization and culture that is free of many of the "definitions" that exist today. But forcing them to use ONE garment as proof of IDIC is just as silly as that little miniskirt that women wore in TOS and men wore in TNG.
I'm not saying it's important -- I'm saying just the opposite, that diversity in fashion should be accepted as something people have a right to practice and not argued about and objected to because it doesn't fit some narrow preconception about fashion or gender. You're the one making a federal case out of it; we're just saying it's not that big a deal. If you treat equality as something that has to be made an issue of and declaimed about in speeches, then clearly equality hasn't truly arrived yet. The real way to demonstrate it is not to make an issue out of it, to simply present it matter-of-factly as part of everyday life.
So it's not a big deal, but the OP wanted to know if it exists in TrekLit and the conversation went from there to where? I mentioned my opinion that it went away because in the "real world" some people felt it looked silly, yet somehow my personal opinion is viewed as being illustrative of the fact that equality has not yet arrived because OBVIOUSLY my opinion is based on my male gender normative? That is a circle in a circle in a circle - Skantception! Both male and female humans wear non gender specific garb - PANTS! The problem that arises is that most Trek fans acknowledge that the "ideal" future is one that is peaceful, inclusive, etc. yet some clamor for that future to reflect the most cutting edge and progressive thinking available at the current time. For instance, a new Trek Series would undoubtedly be encouraged perhaps even required to have at least one LGBT character. Yet human culture embraces a multitude of ideas and mores, and a representative slice of a group of humans could contain any number of combinations, including religious individuals, monogamous heterosexual married individuals, and single, childless, asexual, genderless individuals. A recent Trek novel even had a crewmember who wore a hijab, a small detail that I thought was very cool as it showed a rare moment where religiously influenced cultural garb still existed in HUMAN culture. I feel that it is a misplaced notion to expect that a specific character, costume, or event be placed within a story to PROVE that society in the future conforms to whatever the most progressive standard is at this current date. Why not just accept that whatever representative slice that the storyteller took of society in the 24th century did not include a person, place, or thing that is - by our standards - progressive?
Are you even listening? The idea that pants are not gender-specific is an extremely recent one. Even as recently as the '70s, during my own lifetime, pants were considered masculine attire, and girls who wore pants were considered tomboys.
I noticed that point several posts ago, and I am unsure why you are bringing it into the discussion as it alone proves that Starfleet is a progressive organization by "current" standards. Even in the late 80's there were still lots of people who felt wearing pants was not a "womanly" thing to do, which was and is silly. So putting women in pants was a big sartorial step for the creators and writers. In addition, Counselor Troi was given a regular uniform which was a big step at the time when just a few years previously in the U.S. Army men and women had different uniforms. So pants = progress. What seems to be the issue is that now the "progressive" thing to do is to have males wear what has traditionally been considered female clothing, although such an idea ignores that men have been wearing flowing garments for a very long time. So my contention is that the writers and creators of Star Trek have already shown that Starfleet is a progressive organization sartorially, and that inclusion of the skant won't change that. Therefore an author can choose to include the skant or not based on their opinion of the appearance of the skant itself and not be judged "sexist" if they decide not to have one of their male characters wear one.
One of the churches I attend (being pan-denominational, I bounce around among 5 different churches in 3 different denominations when I'm home) has a substantial Samoan congregation, and they generally worship in traditional Samoan attire. The male version of which is approximately the same length as a Scottish kilt. At any rate, at age 51, I can say with some authority that Christopher is exactly right: I have WATCHED women's pants go from being barely-acceptable casual attire to being commonplace work and even formal dress attire. And I've seen the advent of the Utilikilt (tm) for men. And I've also seen at least one heterosexual man publicly advocate male dresses.
Anything that somebody has a right to wear, somebody else will have the right to point and laugh. Nothing is above criticism. And to be brutally honest, I don't give a CRAP what real fashion will be like in 400 years' time. All any of us know is what things look like now, and the way I see it, the skant is as cringe-worthy as anything I've seen on that show. Was it Eddie Izzard?
Whut? By my math, 60 years ago = 1954. I wasn't born at that time, but my mother was. I've got photos of women on my mother's side of the family when they were wearing pants. I don't recall any scandalous family stories that any of them were considered "transvestites." Context does matter, of course. It's wildly impractical to wear a dress when working on a farm or out fishing or hunting. Put that into the context of what women wear on the job. I recall an episode of Adam-12 where one of the female police officers had to get out of the car, kneel on the asphalt, and point her gun at the crook they were chasing. What had me flabbergasted was the fact that she was wearing a skirt. The only thing between her skin and the road was pantyhose. That's not the remotest bit practical, for reasons that include her ability to run and climb if she had to, plus it's no protection at all from whatever's on the road - rocks, gravel, etc.

Here's the crux of the problem: I hate the question.
I really do. Trying to divine the league's Clutchiest Clutch of Clutchness is futile. Percentages don't work, because not all late-game shots are created equal, by a long shot. Nor do all players receive the same attention, and even for a guy like Kobe Bryant, who has been around for a long time and taken tons of shots in "clutch" situations (by any definition of the term), sample sizes still tend to be too small.
So when I saw this morning's post from Henry Abbott at TrueHoop, declaring definitively that Bryant is not the NBA's King of Clutch, I almost reflexively rolled my eyes. Not because I disagree vehemently with the contention- as Abbott notes, Bryant has missed a ton of shots in those situations, where others hit at a higher percentage. Depending on how you define the question, it's reasonable to argue his success rate disqualifies him from the title.
The problem is in the framing of the issue. To me, the definition of clutch is the absence of choke. With the game on the line you want a guy who will treat a shot- the rise, the release, the follow through- the same as he would a more "routine" play in the second quarter. Someone who won't rush, or short arm the J, or dribble off his foot, and of course someone who is willing to put himself on the line in the first place. By this standard, Kobe is unquestionably clutch. Year-to-year, whether the ball goes in 20, 30, or 45 percent of the time doesn't really matter, because in any given year circumstances can mess with percentages more than "clutchness." Instead, why coaches, GM's, and players gravitate towards him when asked "Who do you want?" in those situations is a) because he's hit some massive shots over the course of his career, b) Bryant has the skill set to get clean looks in unclean situations, often a requirement in late-game shots (particularly near the buzzer), and c) because Bryant never, ever shies away from the challenge.
Abbott contends there's likely some institutional bias, so to speak, in the debate. That we hear so often about Kobe's "clutch" status and have his triumphs replayed endlessly makes it easier to forget the misses. He's probably right, but the makes obviously matter, too.
I don't care if Kobe is statistically the "clutchest" player in the game. He's clutch. More than sufficiently so. He's hit far too many massive shots to say otherwise. I'm all for attacking sacred cows- there's nothing wrong with investigating whether the meme on Kobe's late game uber-moneyness is valid- but to some extent it's also an exercise in navel gazing, because the term itself is extremely difficult to quantify in the form of a ranking.
But while the "is he or isn't he?" question and the evidence Abbott uses to support his argument are a dominant part of the reaction to his piece, drawing the ire of many a Lakers fan, he also makes a different point about Kobe and the Lakers that is far more valid, and quite frankly much more important:
"Over Bryant's 15-year career, the Lakers have had the NBA's best offense, and second-best won-loss record. No other team can match their mighty 109 points per 100 possessions over the entire period. You'd expect Los Angeles to also have one of the league's best offenses in crunch time, right? Especially with the ball in the hands of the player most suited to those moments. That's not what happens, though. In the final 24 seconds of close games the Laker offense regresses horribly, managing just 82 points per 100 possessions. And it's not a simple case of every team having a hard time scoring in crunch time. Over Bryant's career, 11 teams have had better crunch time offenses, led by the Hornets with a shocking 107 points per 100 possessions in crunch time, a huge credit to Chris Paul. The Lakers are not among the league leaders in crunch time offense -- instead they're just about average, scoring 82.35 points per 100 possessions in a league that averages 80.03. They are, however, among the league leaders in how much worse their offense declines in crunch time."
The Lakers are not unique in a tendency to go to an iso-heavy, star-driven offense late in games (whether as the fourth winds down, or literally in the final seconds), but that doesn't make it right. (Talking to one scout, he told me the Lakers aren't necessarily predictable, or more specifically are "no more predictable than any other team.") Kobe starting possessions with the ball, either finding his spot for his own shot or instituting the pick and roll is, by design, the thrust of their attack. It is, to some extent, part of the compromise reached by Phil Jackson and Bryant over the years, and often is extremely effective.
Still, if there's a better question to investigate, it's whether the Lakers are truly best served having Kobe "bring them home" in the way in which it is traditionally defined, as if most nights the generally outstanding work he does in the first half balancing the needs of his teammates and his own game in the context of the team's offense isn't appropriate for the second. Particularly in the final five or six minutes, when "bad" trips are even more painful.
The Lakers are too talented offensively to suffer the sort of dropoff in late game situations Abbott describes, and are uniquely constructed so that they don't always need to shrink the playbook, so to speak, like other teams might.
None of this is meant strictly as an indictment on Kobe's play. He measures games very well, and generally that includes late game situations. It's a question of strategy. Bryant is so much more effective a weapon, particularly late in games, when opposing defenses can't load up on him on every play. High screens or isolations should be part of the playbook, just not the only part. It's a waste when the Lakers become predictable in the most important moments of a game. It makes Kobe less effective, and the team along with it, and encourages the sort of "Hero Kobe" play that tends not to produce as many points.
As always it's not a question of shots, but touches. The more players involved in a possession, the more likely L.A. is to score, even if Bryant ultimately takes the shot.
Kobe can close games in any number of ways. L.A. needs to make sure they use all of them effectively. Their late game offense should be proportionately as good as everything up to that point.
Great ball movement and execution might mean no Laker has to be clutch in the final 25 seconds, because the game is already won.

While Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would love to see a controversial campaign-finance ruling overturned before she retires from the Supreme Court, she recently acknowledged that "it won't happen."
Vox explained that in the 2010 case, Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission, the court approved unlimited contributions to political candidates. Critics of the decision allege that it gave too much power to wealthy donors, multinational corporations and well-funded interest groups. The ruling permitted the rise of super PACs.
When The New York Times asked Ginsburg to name a goal for the remainder of her tenure on the court, she replied: "It would be an impossible dream, but I'd love to see Citizens United overruled."
Many Republicans, as well as Democrats, support repeal. Last year, a Bloomberg poll showed that 80 percent of GOP voters and 83 percent of Democrats opposed the ruling. Vox noted that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders made the issue a major part of his presidential campaign. The party's nominee, Hillary Clinton, also favors overturning the decision.
Even Donald Trump, the apparent Republican nominee, has spoken out against super PACs funneling unlimited contributions to candidates. However, an overwhelming number of congressional Republicans continue to defend the ruling. GOP leaders have consistently resisted Democrats' efforts to enact campaign-finance reform.

A long and versatile necklace that can be wore around the neck, on diagonal, around one arm or as a shield around both arms. It's made from onyx beads with a solid oak laser cut heart and dark stained and silver plated elements. It's part of the "Sur-Faces" collection.
The "Sur-Faces" collection tells the story of the modern human, adapting himself and his life in a citadel; struggling not to forget his pure essence, deeply humane, delicate and sensitive. Each and every day, people show multiple facets of their personality. But the truth is unique. The truth lies in the heart. One creates facets as a protection, a surface shield to protect a more fragile inner side. If smile, anger or seriousness might be read on ones face, they sometimes act as a protection to prevent true emotions to come to the surface. Through the variety of the materials used the accessories in the "Sur-faces" collection express this complementarity. With rigid facets, shiny or silky surfaces, they decorate the body and feed the soul.

We demonstrate what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first electronically controlled variable focus lens (ECVFL)-based sensor for remote object shape sensing. Using a target illuminating laser, the axial depths of the shape features on a given object are measured by observing the intensity profile of the optical beam falling on the object surface and tuning the ECVFL focal length to form a minimum beam spot. Using a lens focal length control calibration table, the object feature depths are computed. Transverse measurement of the dimensions of each object feature is done using a surface-flooding technique that completely illuminates a given feature. Alternately, transverse measurements can also be made by the variable spatial sampling scan technique, where, depending upon the feature sizes, the spatial sampling spot beam size is controlled using the ECVFL. A proof-of-concept sensor is demonstrated using an optical beam from a laser source operating at a power of and a wavelength of . A three-dimensional (3D) test object constructed from LEGO building blocks forms has three mini-skyscraper structures labeled A, B, and C. The dimensions for A, B, and C are (, , ), (, , ), and (, , ), respectively. The smart sensor experimentally measured dimensions for A, B, C are (, , ), (, , ), and (, , ), respectively. The average shape sensor transverse measurement percentage errors for A, B, and C are , , and , respectively.

UCLA coach Nikki Caldwell likes to refer to Jasmine Dixon, Markel Walker, Doreena Campbell and Darxia Morris as the team's four horsewomen. The quartet rode off into that sweet night on Saturday, defeating crosstown rival USC to advance to the Pac-10 Conference tournament final against top-seeded Stanford.
But in today's championship game at the Galen Center, Dixon seemed to be the only one to saddle up for UCLA, scoring a game-high 20 points in a 70-46 loss to the Cardinal.
Walker, meanwhile, had just nine. Campbell and Morris combined for six points and seven turnovers. Walker, Campbell and Morris were responsible for 39 of UCLA's 59 points in the victory over USC a day before.
Stanford countered with its highly potent trio of Jayne Appel, Kayla Pedersen and Nnemkadi Ogwumike. The three combined for 43 points.
ESPN's latest projected bracket has UCLA as a No. 6 seed in the Dayton Regional, playing No. 11 James Madison in Cincinnati, Ohio. The women's selection show airs Monday at 4 p.m. PT on ESPN.
