'Harbinger' author: Warnings offer hope for nation
Without open door for repentance, 'There would be no point'
A guest on the popular radio show "Understanding the Times" with Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries recently said that, "Mr. Obama has been good for America."
But Larry Spargimino of Southwest Radio Church, a regular on Southwest's "Watchman on the Wall" broadcast, quickly qualified that by explaining that it's good because people now are waking up to how far away from God the nation has moved.
"A lot of people have awakened, they have come alive, and they are asking questions. Where are we going? What's happened to our country? I believe we have a great God. I believe that God wants the door to be opened, for souls to be saved," he said.
He said author Jonathan Cahn's message in "The Harbinger" book and "Isaiah 9:10 Judgment" video contain what Christians need to hear.
Markell's radio program, heard weekly on more than 550 Christian radio stations, aims to provide a Biblical perspective to world events.
"The Middle East is exploding, and America is imploding," said Markell on this week's broadcast.
Also heard on the broadcast is Cahn, who will be a featured guest at a prophecy conference held in suburban Minneapolis, and hosted by Markell's Olive Tree Ministries. The conference bears the same name as her radio show, "Understanding the Times."
The theme of this years conference, "Is it too late for America," also was discussed on Markell's radio show.
Cahn told WND that there is time for a nation like America, which he believes is falling under the judgment of God for turning its back on Him, to repent and turn back.
"Otherwise, there would be no point to warn us," Cahn said.
Cahn and the radio panel agreed that the current times are very difficult and dark, but that Christians should not be afraid to rise up.
"We need to remain a light in the darkness," he said. "We don't shine less, just because there's darkness."
He said that it seems like the nation is seeing a dramatic polarization in these current times.
"The dark seems to be getting darker, but the light shines brighter," Cahn continued.
Another panelist on the program, Eric Barger, said of the call to national repentance, "If I were Satan, this would be the message I'd fight more than all the others."
Cahn shared with the audience not just the phenomenal success of the book and DVD, but also that the salvation message is being received far and wide.
He also says that some of the nation's leaders are beginning to read the book or watch the DVD and are awakening to the realities that Cahn points out from a 2,500 year-old prophecy from Isaiah.
He tells how a very "famous member of Congress" recently reached out to him, and arranged to escort him through the New York and Washington, D.C., area on a strategic prayer mission.
"We prayed together for our country in several strategic places," Cahn said.
Places mentioned in the interview were the U.S. Supreme Court, the U. S. Capitol, Ground Zero, The Senate Chamber, the Pentagon, and more.
Cahn says that the success of the book and DVD come from the fact that the dots are connected in a way that most believers can understand.
He also tells WND that the "harbingers" continue to come true, and that news headlines, even recently, reveal further fulfillment of prophecy. He plans to identify those at this weekend's "Understanding the Times" conference.
The events Cahn speaks of have all taken place since Sept. 11, 2001, and they all connect to Isaiah 9:10.
"The ancient vow begins with these words: 'The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with hewn stone,'" explains Cahn. "The vow declares Israel's defiance of God, in the face of a devastating strike on the land. The hewn stone, which begins the rebuilding, symbolizes the nation's intention to come back stronger than before.
"The book then reveals the parallel to proclamations by Barack Obama in his first State of the Union message, then Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle the day after 9/11 to a joint session of Congress and former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards on the third anniversary of 9/11."
Cahn told WND that since "The Harbinger" was released, "What's in it is still coming to pass. People are stunned when they see these things in the news."
When asked what the final outcome of the Isaiah prophecy meant for Israel, and now in the view of many who see the parallels to modern America, Cahn told WND, "God's judgment."
"The end of the progression in the Biblical template is national judgment, and the fact that the signs are continuing, means that America has not turned back to God," he said.
Cahn also wants people to know that "judgment is ultimately about hope."
"If there were no hope, there would be no reason for God to give us signs. There would be no point in warning us, if we weren't able to seek forgiveness," he said.
The "Understanding the Times" conference is being held at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, Minn. It begins Friday at 7 p.m.
Other speakers include Mark Hitchcock, Erwin Lutzer, and Bill Koenig.
Markell's radio show can be replayed at this link.

text: John T. Harvey: "The Coming Recession: How Fiscal Responsibility is Economic Suicide" As you might have heard the economy is contracting while unemployment remains high inching higher especially in real terms again while Washington is too stupid or corrupt across the board to notice. I can't say I didn't see this coming even as just an above average layman. All this focus on austerity is detrimental. After all, spending is actually income and so are deficits which are the life blood of the private sector in the economy when it comes to those sectoral balances you hear me always harping about. And on that point I refer to Post Keynesian economist Wynne Godley as he along with MMT economist L. Randall Wray predicted this crisis in 2000 and that matters. Therefore it's safe to say the Post Keynesian school is pretty much vindicated. And part of this tradition can be read in Forbes magazine every month. Imagine that! I have thanks to discovering the work of the most excellent Post Keynesian/MMT economist John T. Harvey. I have to thank NY brit expat for introducing me to John whom is not only a brilliant economist, but an all around cool guy who is very approachable and has an awesome taste in music. He stresses that the economics discipline hasn't made economics very understandable to the general public and he's right; however, you wouldn't know that by reading his many excellent pieces on why everything people think they know about debt and deficits is absolutely wrong. As John points out, it's not only wrong, it pervades this entire ignorant and corrupt political debate happening right now over this stupid sequester that was a creation of the White House and Congress. As you will read down below, this horrible self induced debt ceiling pro austerity political show where never is heard an encouraging word like full employment, but instead for Peter Peterson's enjoyment, idiotic words praising deficit terrorism(budget balance and cutting our safety net) rules the day. It only amounts to economic decay and a likely recession on the way depending on how much deficit spending is cut in the coming days. Topic: Economy 3 Read more about John T.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As Von Miller rejoins his teammates for his first road trip of the season this weekend, when the Denver Broncos travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts, he'll face the first dilemma of his return to football: Do his tailored suits, the required attire for team flights, still fit?
"I haven't worn anything like that in a while," Miller said this week, as he sat inside an empty locker at the Broncos' training facility.
As Miller chatted away, it was impossible not to realize just how the star pass rusher spent much of his time during the six weeks he was suspended by the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy. Clearly he was essentially living in the weight room, bulking up his upper body.
AS PEYTON'S RETURN NEARS: Emotions running high
WEEK 7 PICKS: Colts or Broncos?
When Miller returned to practice earlier this week, he said he weighed 270 pounds. Last season, when he had 18½ sacks, Miller played at about 255 pounds, and that was nine more than his rookie weight in 2011.
Miller had been focused on gaining weight throughout the offseason and told reporters this spring he was at 260 pounds but still wanted to get bigger. The muscle-building plan intensified during his suspension, and Miller now says he's the biggest— and yet the fittest — he's ever been in his life.
VIDEO: Five story lines for Broncos-Colts
USA TODAY Sports NFL writer Lindsay H. Jones breaks down the biggest story lines headlining Peyton Manning's return to Indianapolis.
In addition to the time spent with Broncos strength coach Luke Richesson, Miller said he worked to improve his cardiovascular conditioning through interval training and repeated short sprints to try and replicate the intensity of football plays.
"I felt a lot stronger, quicker and faster," Miller said. "It's not like I'm running 100 yards or 400 yards, so I definitely felt good."
Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio isn't concerned about how much Miller weighs or how big his shoulders are now. All Del Rio wants to see is if Miller still has the speed and flexibility and power that for two years made him one of the premier pass rushers in the NFL.
Del Rio has liked what he's seen so far in practice. But the real test will come Sunday, when Miller can go full-speed and try to sack Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who has impressive mobility and ability to escape the pocket.
"I do have a sack celebration up my sleeve," Miller said. "Hopefully I can get one."
Miller's return gives the Broncos a full complement of defensive players for the first time this season. Denver played its first five games without cornerback Champ Bailey, who returned from a foot injury last week but admitted he didn't play well against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Broncos also played last week without starting middle linebacker Wesley Woodyard (neck) and defensive end Robert Ayers (shoulder), who are both expected back Sunday night.
"It doesn't matter who's playing — we're still going to work the same kind of schedule and go through the same kind of grind. But obviously when you have your better players out there, you expect to play even better," Del Rio said.
"As far as defense, I feel like we got a good group of guys. We're going to be better as we go through the year. Some of the places where we're not playing so well now right now I feel very confident we'll continue to grow and play good defense as we go down the road here."
Miller's biggest impact should be on Denver's pass rush. The Broncos have 17 sacks without Miller, but now opposing offenses will have to adjust their blocking schemes to stop him. Denver can also alter the way it attacks opposing quarterbacks.
"Not to give away our game plan, but he does give us many more options to do different things on defense," Bailey said. "But you know, when you have a guy that talented you've got to find ways to make sure he's involved with every play. So he's going to be involved a lot."

Domestic use of aerial drones by law enforcement likely to prompt privacy debate
Sunday, January 23, 2011; 12:56 AM
AUSTIN - The suspect's house, just west of this city, sat on a hilltop at the end of a steep, exposed driveway. Agents with the Texas Department of Public Safety believed the man inside had a large stash of drugs and a cache of weapons, including high-caliber rifles.
As dawn broke, a SWAT team waiting to execute a search warrant wanted a last-minute aerial sweep of the property, in part to check for unseen dangers. But there was a problem: The department's aircraft section feared that if it put up a helicopter, the suspect might try to shoot it down.
So the Texas agents did what no state or local law enforcement agency had done before in a high-risk operation: They launched a drone. A bird-size device called a Wasp floated hundreds of feet into the sky and instantly beamed live video to agents on the ground. The SWAT team stormed the house and arrested the suspect.
"The nice thing is it's covert," said Bill C. Nabors Jr., chief pilot with the Texas DPS, who in a recent interview described the 2009 operation for the first time publicly. "You don't hear it, and unless you know what you're looking for, you can't see it."
The drone technology that has revolutionized warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is entering the national airspace: Unmanned aircraft are patrolling the border with Mexico, searching for missing persons over difficult terrain, flying into hurricanes to collect weather data, photographing traffic accident scenes and tracking the spread of forest fires.
But the operation outside Austin presaged what could prove to be one of the most far-reaching and potentially controversial uses of drones: as a new and relatively cheap surveillance tool in domestic law enforcement.
For now, the use of drones for high-risk operations is exceedingly rare. The Federal Aviation Administration - which controls the national airspace - requires the few police departments with drones to seek emergency authorization if they want to deploy one in an actual operation. Because of concerns about safety, it only occasionally grants permission.
But by 2013, the FAA expects to have formulated new rules that would allow police across the country to routinely fly lightweight, unarmed drones up to 400 feet above the ground - high enough for them to be largely invisible eyes in the sky.
Such technology could allow police to record the activities of the public below with high-resolution, infrared and thermal-imaging cameras.
One manufacturer already advertises one of its small systems as ideal for "urban monitoring." The military, often a first user of technologies that migrate to civilian life, is about to deploy a system in Afghanistan that will be able to scan an area the size of a small town. And the most sophisticated robotics use artificial intelligence to seek out and record certain kinds of suspicious activity.
But when drones come to perch in numbers over American communities, they will drive fresh debates about the boundaries of privacy. The sheer power of some of the cameras that can be mounted on them is likely to bring fresh search-and-seizure cases before the courts, and concern about the technology's potential misuse could unsettle the public.
"Drones raise the prospect of much more pervasive surveillance," said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. "We are not against them, absolutely. They can be a valuable tool in certain kinds of operations. But what we don't want to see is their pervasive use to watch over the American people."

Florida Supreme Court: Let stand ruling to reinstate lesbian as boy's adoptive mother
A Seminole County lesbian can remain the adoptive mother of her 6-year-old son, despite efforts by her ex-partner to have the Florida adoption revoked.
"After the couple split up, the birth mother — the biological mother — asked the court to vacate the adoption," said Miami attorney Cristina Alonso, who helps represent the adoptive mother.
Seminole County Circuit Judge Linda D. Schoonover agreed with the birth mother and in 2013 removed the adoptive mom's name from their son's birth certificate. A state appeals court later reversed the decision. On Wednesday, Florida's Supreme Court refused to hear the case, allowing the appeals court ruling to stand, said Alonso, an attorney at Carlton Fields Jorden Burt.
"Because this is an adoption proceeding, the identities of the women and their son is confidential," Alonso said.
The women lived in Sanford, Florida and are known in court documents as C.P. and G.P. They began a committed relationship in 2005. Two years later, the couple decided they wanted to have a child and that C.P. would be the birth mother.
C.P. became pregnant via an anonymous sperm donor. During pregnancy, C.P. changed her last name so that she and the baby would all share G.P.'s surname.
G.P. was present when their son, D.P.P., was born and for the first four years of his life "was equally responsible for raising and parenting" him, according to court records. "Both C.P. and G.P. held themselves out as D.P.P.'s parents, and both were designated as the child's parents on all medical and school-related paperwork."
In 2011, the parents sought legal recognition as co-parents and jointly petitioned for G.P. to adopt the boy without terminating the birth mother's rights. The adoption became final in January 2012 — shortly before the couple broke up.
"Even after they separated, they continued to co-parent the child," Alonso said. "About a year after the adoption was granted, the birth mother decided she didn't want the adoptive mother in the child's life, so she filed a motion to vacate the adoption."
C.P.'s rationale for revoking the adoption: that she and G.P. were not legally married and that adoption papers (erroneously) referred to G.P. as a "step-parent."
Schoonover granted the birth mother's request and G.P.'s name was removed from their son's birth certificate.
G.P. appealed and in May 2014 the Fifth District Court of Appeal reversed Schoonover's decision.
"It would be unconscionable to allow mother to invoke the jurisdiction of the court for the sole purpose of creating a parent-child relationship between her partner and her child and then to allow her to destroy that same relationship because her relationship with partner had ended," the appeals court wrote.
Nadine Smith, executive director of LGBT-rights group Equality Florida, said she is "thrilled that the highest court in Florida has affirmed our rights as parents and families must be protected."
Smith said this case offers "a unique complication of not having our marriages recognized."
"This is a case where the lack of respect for our marriages means that protections that ought to be in place were not there and a lengthy court battle ensued," Smith said.
Alonso, who also helps represent six same-sex couples seeking to wed in Miami-Dade County, said the case has now been returned to Seminole circuit court to deal with custody and visitation issues.
"The appellate ordered the trial court to treat the case like any other custody case," Alonso said. "If they were married, this would have been a non-issue."

Robert Carter
Class of 1942
Major/Minor: Physics
In 1943, as World War II escalated, Bob Carter '42 was recruited to the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico to work on The Manhattan Project, the international effort to build the first atomic explosive. "In large part," he says, "Washington College determined my future with the project. As the College's only physics major, I was asked to be a lab assistant for Dr. Coop, responsible for setting up lab experiments for other science majors." Today, the 90-year-old nuclear physicist still has his hand in the field as he sits on a professional committee for the American Nuclear Society, reviewing rights and standards in the nuclear industry.
Bob is the correspondent for the Class of 1942.
I lived in Berlin, MD, from early teen years. Graduated from Washington College with a major in physics in 1942, a few months after the US had entered WW 2. I joined a program at Purdue U. in June, teaching U.S. sailors electricity concepts and practical wiring, and as a grad student in physics.
Within a couple of months I also joined a classified (secret) nuclear physics project using a cyclotron (a nuclear physics research machine). In fall of 1943 I was invited to join the nuclear physics research and development (atomic bomb) program at Los Alamos, NM.
Did additional grad work in physics and math at U. Illinois, married, fathered first baby 1946-48, and returned to Los Alamos until 1963,also acquiring 8 more children.
Moved to Maryland to do different type of nuclear research and development, and added two more children. Retired in 2000, and wife died that same year.
Now I continue work on special technical committee, using the Internet. Still travel a few times a year, camp, kayak (or canoe) on several day trips with some sons and grandson. Try to stay well and active. WC class agent, rep, correspondent since about 1990.
Campus Involvement
The father of 11, Bob gives back to WC because he wants today's students to have the same opportunities he had. He recalls a time in his undergraduate career when he owed almost $100 on his bill and would not be allowed to take his finals until the bill was paid. "I told Mr. Johns, the comptroller, that I didn't have the money and neither did my father. Mr. Johns pulled out his checkbook and paid the bill. In return he asked me to return to Chestertown for two weeks in the summer and take his son and a friend of his camping. It doesn't get more personal than that."

"Orchestra of Exiles" is the story of one man's four-year odyssey which culminated, in 1936, with the creation of a top-flight symphony orchestra in the desert outback of Palestine. This extraordinary feat was accomplished by an eccentric moral powerhouse of a man, a Polish Jew named Bronislaw Huberman who was one of the most famous violinists in the world. Huberman's Jewish musicians were among the best players of Europe; they were escaping a world that would soon be torn apart by Nazi aggression. D

The Civil War introduced the first metallic rifle and pistol cartridges, the first repeating rifles and carbines, the first ironclad ships, and many other inventions that heralded a change in warfare. When war broke out, the Confederacy captured most of their artillery from local Federal forts and armories, such as the Harpers Ferry Armory. They also established several arsenals and munitions works in Selma, Alabama; Atlanta Rolling Mills, Atlanta, Georgia; Leeds & Company, New Orleans, Louisiana; Fayetteville Arsenal, Fayetteville, North Carolina; and Tredegar Iron Works, Richmond, Virginia.
The Union also had a ready supply of munitions at the beginning of the war from Federal forts and armories. The bulk of the munitions made for the Union were produced at the Watertown Arsenal, Watertown, Massachusetts; Watervliet Arsenal, West Troy, New York; Allegheny Arsenal, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and the Washington Arsenal, Washington, D.C.

Illuminating Texts - The Patient Illustrator
Ian Wallace ruminates on his research for his book Sarah and the People of Sand River which led him into the protagonist's Icelandic Canadian culture, then beyond it into the culture of the Cree of Manitoba, Canada, and finally into the symbolism and myth around the raven. He was trying to portray both races of people (of which he was not a part) with dignity and respect and with as much accuracy as was humanly possible.

Two goals from Gareth Bale gave Tottenham a 2-1 win over Newcastle
Gareth Bale's wonderful run of form continued as he scored both goals for Tottenham in their 2-1 win over Newcastle.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 10/02/13 8:44am
The Welsh wizard was a constant thorn in Newcastle's side and he opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick after just five minutes.
Spurs were the better side in the opening exchanges, but the visitors looked dangerous on the counter and levelled with Yoan Gouffran's strike flying into the top corner off Michael Dawson's back just before the half-hour.
Both teams had their chances to win it in the second half, and it was Spurs who took the three points with just 12 minutes left as Bale broke into the box and fired under Tim Krul for his eighth goal in his last nine Tottenham appearances.
He did pass up a gilt-edged chance to take the match ball home but he fired over an open goal with his right foot from just five yards out - however, it mattered little as Spurs took the win and extended their unbeaten run to 10 games.
Bale was in in the mood from the start. Just 70 seconds had elapsed when he burst down the left after a clever one-two with Lewis Holtby, but Davide Santon cut the Welshman's cross out before Clint Dempsey could convert.
Three minutes later and Spurs had the lead. Fabricio Coloccini clattered into Dempsey 25 yards out and Bale stepped up to deliver a Ronaldo-esque free kick which dipped over the wall past a diving Krul.
Spurs dominated the rest of the opening quarter but Newcastle came back into it and levelled. Moussa Sissoko galloped down the right on a Newcastle counter and pulled the ball back to Gouffran who beat Hugo Lloris via a deflection from the diving Dawson.
Spurs had two penalty appeals turned down. The first - when Aaron Lennon's shot struck Santon's arm - looked credible, but the second - when Bale's volley brushed Mathieu Debuchy's shoulder - was not.
Just after the break and Newcastle were hit with a blow as goalscorer Gouffran was stretchered off. Kyle Walker clipped the forward's right shin on the halfway line and he needed oxygen before being carried off on a stretcher. He was then taken to hospital for an X-ray.
Bale continued to look like Tottenham's best hope of finding a winner. The Welshman, who fired his country to victory over Austria in midweek, picked the ball off Lennon and fired a low cross into the box but it was cut out before Dempsey could score.
Bale came forward again, charging at the defence before firing a powerful shot which Steven Taylor blocked bravely. But Taylor then went from hero to villain moments later, however, as his mix-up with Coloccini allowed Bale to race through the Toon defence and fire between the legs of Krul to make it 2-1.
Steven Caulker could have added a third moments later with a free header when Krul went walkabout from a corner, but the defender nodded wide. Krul's finger-tips prevented Bale from adding a third after he raced through from a long punt down field before firing a powerful volley at goal.
Yohan Cabaye was guilty of putting in a terrible tackle on Mousa Dembele, stamping on the Belgian's ankle in a late attempt to win the ball. Spurs' players demanded a red card, but Phil Dowd issued just a yellow.
Newcastle threatened to equalise in the second of seven added minutes through substitute Shola Ameobi, but Lloris saved well to deny the striker.
Krul's acrobatics denied Bale his hat-trick twice in added time, but the winger did not mind. He had already done enough damage to see off the Toon.

Especial de la Semana: Albondigas
You may know Sara Markel-Gonzalez from her Queens roundups and Taco Thursdays. She'll be introducing you to Mexican specialties around the borough, and tipping you off on where to try them. First up? Albondigas!
Every day, at many Mexican restaurants that cater to a mostly Mexican clientele (particularly in the outer boroughs), there is a rotating list of off-the-menu specials. The specials are generally closer to home-cooked fare—meats braised in rich sauces, hearty soups, stewed vegetables. Mostly messy, not always beautiful, sometimes unfamiliar; but flavorful and satisfying food.
When I eat out (or more likely, order in) at any of my favorite Mexican spots in my borough of Queens, the first thing I ask about are these daily specials. And if I see or hear albondigas on the menu, I always order them.
Albondigas are meatballs, and in central and southern Mexico, they are large and dense—usually bathed in a thick, smoky, chipotle tomato sauce. Every cook makes them a little differently; some people use rice as a filler, some use bread. Some people add fresh mint to the meat mixture, some use cilantro; sometimes they are stuffed with hard-boiled egg. Last week, I ordered from Tulcingo Restaurant in Elmhurst—and came across a new version I loved.
The plate came with three very large spheres of meat, black beans, and rice. The meatballs were garnished with three thickly cut rings of raw onion, a crisp and sharp counter to the spicy and very rich chipotle sauce; though it was on the border of being too greasy, it stopped just short. And Tulcingo's version was of the egg-filled school, which I love.
All in all, a good dish, and one that I would definitely order again from them. But then, there are so many other specials to try. It's worth it to explore off the menu, and I've found that the specials are usually made with care and pride. Next time, we'lll try costillas en salsa verde con verdolagas.
Tulcingo Restaurant
40-11 82nd Street, Elmhurst NY 11373 (map) 718-205-3134

Recipe: Dip-de-dip-de Dip!
Stylist note - I'm a bit bored with taking the same old shots of my food with the same old background, so when the current Australian issue of Harper's Bazaar appeared in the mail today, I decided to get a little playful...)
All recipes make enough dip to fill an average-sized soup bowl, depending on size of veggies.
The Veggie Dips
Chunky Beetroot & Herb Chutney
2 large beetroots
2 minced garlic cloves
1T chopped coriander leaves
1t ground cumin
1t ground cinnamon
1t Hungarian (sweet) paprika
2T lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
1. Chop the beets into quarters, and place in a saucepan full of water. Boil rapidly until beets are soft.
2. Remove beets from hot water, and place in cold water until cool. This should allow you to remove the skin with ease, if desired.
3. Place beets and all other ingredients into food processor (or small bowl if using a stick blender) and pulse until beets have broken down and all ingredients are combined. I like to leave mine a little chunky to maintain the home-made feel.
Serve topped with fresh coriander leaves, and my special secret Primal snack... ;)
Nice & Naughty Nightshade Dip
I don't have any issues with nightshades, so I decided to play with eggplant and tomatoes to see what there was in the way of dip potential... For some, there's no dip greater than baba ganoush, so I took that as a challenge... :)
1 large eggplant (for extra oomph, char the skin over medium flame before using)
2 tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
2T olive oil or butter
2t ground cumin
2t ground cinnamon
1T lemon juice
Onto the base formed by the above ingredients, which is quite a nice, subtle dip in and of itself, you can add extra flavour via chopped Granny Smith apples, a splash of balsamic vinegar, ground cardamom, chilli flakes, black olives, capers, etc...
1. Heat oil/melt butter in a frying pan over gentle heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
2. Chop the eggplant into cubes. Gently add to frying pan and sauté well.
3. Dice tomatoes, preserving the pulp and juices. Add to pan.
4. Remove from heat, and place in food processor. Add all other ingredients.
5. Process to desired smoothness. Check flavour balance and add further seasonings if desired.
Serve topped with black olive slices, curls of apple peel, or fresh herbs (along with my secret recipe, of course!)
Roast Pumpkin Puree
When it comes to pumpkin, my favourite combination of flavours has been captured in my pumpkin soup recipe. So why mess with perfection? For this chunky, 'dippable' version, I've simply omitted the stock! I've also cut down the cooking time by boiling my pumpkin rather than taking the time to roast the whole fruit. Roasting will produce a richer, sweeter flavour, but boiling still preserves that gorgeous roast pumpkin taste.
500g pumpkin (whatever is grown locally)
1/2 large onion, sliced thickly
2T coconut oil
2t cumin
2t nutmeg
1. Chop pumpkin into cubes, and place in a oven-safe pan filled with water. Bring to a violent boil and leave it there for a good ten minutes.
2. While the water is boiling, heat oven to a moderate temperature.
3. Empty water from pan, and add all other ingredients to the pan. Toss to coat onion and pumpkin with oil and spices, and bake until onion has softened.
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool - or jump straight into processing, careful of flying bits of sizzling food. Puree thoroughly (although leaving the odd chunk of roasted onion is really quite nice to crunch into).
Serve with the you-know-what, and maybe a side of sour cream.
Refreshing Zucchini & Coriander Dip
A tasty, light snack that would be great as a palate-cleanser. Roasting the zucchini beforehand would intensify the flavour.
2 large zucchini, chopped into small chunks
2T chopped coriander leaves
1T lemon juice (or more to taste)
2T olive oil
Optional - chopped red chilli, which would certainly change the impact!
1. Heat oil in a saucepan. Add zucchini and sauté until soft.
2. Remove from heat and combine with coriander and lemon juice. Mash or process until smooth.
Serve with a garnish of coriander leaves or flat-leaf parsley (and...).
Creamy Spinach & Basil Pesto
I have a friend who prides himself on his spinach dip. This kicks his spinach dip in the goolies.
250g Spinach, steamed & finely chopped (frozen spinach will also work well)
A generous handful of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 or 2T macadamia nut butter
1 or 2T olive oil or macadamia nut oil
2T lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
1. Whip macadamia nut butter, oil and lemon juice until the mixture begins to thicken.
2. Place mixture and greens in food processor and blend well.
3. Chill thoroughly before serving.
This one is perfect with the mystery snacks, and also lends itself very well to being eaten via veggie sticks (capsicum, carrot, broccoli, celery, etc). The beau has now fallen in love with this recipe, citing it as 'better than the pesto dips you get from the store, and this doesn't even have cheese!' Soooo satisfying... (The comment, and the dip!)
Imagine my delight when I arranged my five completed veggie dips - all light and tantalising in their own way - on my patio table to discover the oh-so-complementary colour palette! Perhaps the association with Bazaar has resulted in a surprise discovery of this year's fall line...
Dips From The Deep (i.e. Seafood!)
Anchovy & Olive Paste for Serious Savory Lovers
No, seriously. Small dips people, small dips! And if you're sensitive to salty flavours, make sure you have a glass of water on hand... It's so worth it though!
50g unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
100g anchovies, finely chopped
1t capers
3T black olives, pitted and chopped
3T olive oil
2T chopped parsley
2T chopped basil
1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over a low flame, and add garlic. Sauté garlic until fragrant and thoroughly combined with butter.
2. Add anchovies, capers, olives and olive oil, lowering the heat to your stove's minimum, and simmer for five minutes or so, stirring frequently. The ingredients should combine and become quite creamy. The smell should be wonderful.
3. Remove from heat and add herbs. Mix thoroughly and process if desired.
Best served with salt-free dippers (of which my secret recipe may be...), such as fresh veggie sticks. A little goes a long way with this one! A layer of butter/oil may separate and sit atop the paste - you can mix it back in or scrape off to enjoy as a milder version of the dip.
Smoked Salmon, Onion & Olive Dip
I stumbled upon the winning combination of smoked salmon and olives by accident the other day when I added my home-brought lox with the sad garden salad served to me during a PD (the only edible part of the provide luncheon, you see...). Wowzers! I just knew I wanted to try these two ingredients in other variations, and processing allowed the flavours to mesh and develop beautifully.
This recipe is my favourite of tonight's creations :D
100g smoked salmon
1/2 brown onion, chopped
1/4 cup black olives, sliced.
1. Put all ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined but not sloppy (the crunch of onion within the creamy smoked salmon is just divine!)
That's it! Other smoked salmon recipes I've had in the past involved all kinds of dairy, particularly cream cheese, but if you can afford to omit it, the dairy really isn't necessary.
Serve with the little wonder-snacks, and top with fresh parsley or salmon roe!
Prawn Paté
200g peeled, cooked prawns
75g salted butter, softened
2T lemon juice
2T chopped parsley
3T chopped dill
1. Place all ingredients in a food processor, and combine thoroughly.
2. Chill and serve as is (as I did this time around), or you can create a paté by leveling the top of the prawn mixture, melting 20g butter, and pouring it gently over the top. Chill for an hour before serving.
Serve with extra peeled prawns and lemon wedges, plus the - you know...
There's one more recipe I wanted to re-test before putting up for all and sundry to try, which was a spicy crab/avocado mix (yum!!), but the only avocado I could find was not yet ripe... So I hope that the fishy dips will expand to at least four before I'm done...
So for now, I hope you enjoy the Girl Gone Primal Dips, and I can't wait to introduce you to the GGP Dipper... Only a few more sleeps!
My special Sunflower Sesame Crackers were unveiled on Mark's Daily Apple today, so I can finally share with you the tasty primal treats that have been thrilling my guests and completing my summer dinner party offerings for the past couple of months! They are absolutely perfect with all of the above dips, and are suitable for many more purposes as well. The recipe is ridiculously simple and easy to adapt - for instance, I add salt and pepper into the mix itself, then sprinkle with dried rosemary for an aromatic finish! Enjoy!!

Lovely photography, as usual!
The dips look fantástica! Really lovely, and I bet yummy. I will try one or two of these out with my little sons this week. I'm looking for more snack food options for them, especially. Me, I am loving eating meat, but I'm expanding my gustatory vocabulary.

These look brilliant, thanks for sharing!
Can't wait to try the Anchovy & Olive one with crunchy roasted fishies - (http://healthcorrelator.blogspot.com/2010/01/eating-fish-whole-smelts.html) I had mine with some homemade chimichurri sauce this evening, but I think your dip would be better..
