Sydney's Top 5 Best Vietnamese Restaurants

It's a big call, I know, but I am about to name Sydney's 5 best Vietnamese restaurants.
I realise that as soon as I do this I will be inundated with people saying "But what about..."
I concede that I have left some fantastic restaurants out, but I had to make a decision, and this is the outcome.
One of the unifying themes across all of these restaurants is that none of them are really very fancy places. I can normally tell how bad a restaurant is going to be by quickly assessing its decor. The more stylish and designed a restaurant, the worse its food. No exceptions.
My qualifications to make these judgements? I love food, and my partner and I eat out almost every night of the week - at least 3 or 4 of those nights being Vietnamese (as you'd expect).
So here goes: Sydney's 5 best Vietnamese restaurants (in no particular order). Get out there and start trying some of them:

Phuoc Loc Tho - Situated upstairs on a side street in Canley Heights, Phuoc Loc Tho is easy to miss. But it prepares Sydney's best 7 Delights of Beef, a traditional Vietnamese banquet-style meal that presents 7 quite different dishes based on - you guessed it - beef. The charming proprietor has had a couple of very good restaurants all over Sydney over the years, and we have been fans of them all. Perfectly prepared, fresh, Southern cuisine at its absolute best - you can't go wrong here. If you don't feel like indulging with the 7 Delights, try some of the fry-and-roll-yourself dishes, and the Vietnamese salads and fresh rolls here are really top notch. Oh, and they do excellent sinh to, the sweet fruit shakes made with custard apple or avocado - a perfect dessert.

Phuoc Loc Tho
1st Floor/233 Canley Vale Rd
Canley Heights NSW 2166
(02) 9723 0701

Pho Pasteur - Right in the sleaziest part of Chinatown (they have a sister restaurant in Bankstown), Pho Pasteur is one of the City's greatest treasures. It's never going to win any awards for service, but the pho here is among the best in Sydney, and the other fast and simple one-bowl dishes are all outstanding. It is incredibly crowded at lunch, but there is a quick turnaround of tables, so you won't have to wait for long. They stay open ytill 9, so it's a great (and cheap) after-work option. Apart from the pho, they also do a great bun cha gio (fried spring rolls served over noodles and salad) and a yummy bun nem nuong (barbecued meats served over noodles and salad).

Pho Pasteur
709 George St
Haymarket NSW 2000

Nhat Tan - probably the humblest looking restaurant on the list, Nhat Tan is a Marrickville institution, though mostly frequented by Vietnamese. Primarily a noodle place, Nhat Tan has excellent pho, but also serves up a range of noodle dishes, and does really good cha gio (fried spring rolls) and goi cuon (fresh spring rolls). A small menu, but everything perfectly done. Trendy inner-city types normally head to other restaurants in Marrickville, but those in the know rate Nhat Tan as the most authentic and original.

Nhat Tan
310 Illawarra Rd
Marrickville NSW 2204
(02) 9558 9106

Hai Au - situated in Canley Vale, Hai Au started life as a tiny noodle shop close to the station. It got so that you could never get in, so delicious was the food, and so good its reputation. They moved onto much bigger premises down the road a few years ago, but on some nights you still can't get in. I have never had a bad meal at this place, and it is even starting to make a name for itself among the food reviewing elites. It charges a little more than other places nearby, but it can afford to, because the food is so consistently good. The staff are always happy and charming, though casual, and the food is served incredibly quickly. The canh chua (sour tamarind and fish soup), that staple of the Southern Vietnamese diet, is outstanding here - easily the best in the country. We also love the bo tiet bang - a delicous beef dish stir-fried with capsicum and pineapple and a wonderful sauce, and the suon rang muoi (salt and pepper pork ribs - very sinful, but irresistable!). The menu is full of amazing dishes, so get adventurous - try the bitter-melon salad if you're feeling really brave.

Hai Au Restaurant
48a Canley Vale Rd
Canley Vale NSW 2166

Bau Truong - right in the heart of downtown Cabramatta, Bau Truong is easily the best general (i.e. not specialising in a particular dish) Vietnamese restauant on the strip. The staff always speak English, and can be helpful if you don't know what to order. Consistently good, I like the way they serve the 7 Delights of beef - all on one platter to be shared by two people. Their bun dac biet (cold noodles served with everything) is absolutely delicious as well.

Bau Truong
42 John St
Cabramatta NSW 2166
(02) 9727 4492

  1. Bau Truong is the exception to your rule about decor. Both the Cabramatta one and the Canley Vale one have nice rooms, especially Canley Vale.

  2. Bau truong is expensive but always good flavours and variety!

  3. If you're looking for a medium-priced good quality one, I would recommend you DRAGON DEN in Darlinghurst,
    definitely worth a visit, you can't be disappointed, tasty like in Vietnam.

  4. Genesis Vietnamese in Epping is second to non. Fresh, tasty food and a smiling chef!

  5. ChoLon Vietnamese restaurant at Sydney Pitt Street, near corner of Liverpool st, they got nice fresh spring rolls, tasty chicken breast noodles! It is next 3 or 4 blocks from the Pitt & Liverpool st. 7-Eleven shop, very close to World square. Got a cute decoration, I like the foods, worth a visit!

  6. Cholon wow, love the spring rolls!
    Bay Tinh is good as well

ACTON, Mass. — IBC 2011 — SeaChange International (NASDAQ: SEAC) today revealed its demonstration line-up for IBC 2011, which underscores the television industry’s continued shift to multi-screen video with an array of software, applications and services that are already helping video operators deliver content to subscribers on set-tops, mobile, tablets and PC.

Trade Secrets Law in Massachusetts

Note: This page covers information specific to Massachusetts. See the Trade Secrets overview for more general information.

Massachusetts has not adopted a version of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA), which is discussed in the Basics of a Trade Secret Claim. Like the UTSA, however, Massachusetts law creates civil liability for acquisition of trade secrets through improper means. In addition, Massachusetts is one of the few states that imposes criminal liability for improper acquisition of trade secrets - unlawfully taking a trade secret is included in the definition of the crime of larceny and can result in imprisonment.

Massachusetts law defines a trade secret as "anything tangible or intangible or electronically kept or stored, which constitutes, represents, evidences or records a secret scientific, technical, merchandising, production or management information, design, process, procedure, formula, invention or improvement." Mass. Gen. Laws. ch. 266, § 30. From a practical perspective, this definition of "trade secret" is similar to that discussed in Basics of a Trade Secret Claim.

Unlike the Uniform Trade Secret Act, Massachusetts law does not use the word "misappropriation." Instead, it lists a number of activities that trigger civil liability:

  • embezzling a trade secret;
  • stealing or unlawfully taking a trade secret;
  • carrying away, concealing, or copying a trade secret; and
  • obtaining a trade secret by fraud or deception;

Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93, § 42. It is not clear whether Massachusetts law prohibits publishing a trade secret while knowing that it was acquired by a source through improper means. Undoubtedly, you could be liable for publishing a trade secret if you personally obtained it through any of the improper means listed above.

The Massachusetts criminal statute relating to trade secrets prohibits the following activities:

  • stealing a trade secret;
  • obtaining a trade secret through false pretenses with an intent to defraud someone; and
  • converting, concealing, unlawfully taking, carrying away, or copying a trade secret with an intent to steal or embezzle.

Mass. Gen. Laws. ch. 266, § 30. It does not look like the law makes it a crime to publish a trade secret, so long as you do not personally obtain it through any of the improper means listed above.

If a court finds that a defendant has unlawfully taken a plaintiff's trade secret(s), it may impose the following penalties and remedies:

  • Criminal Penalties: Unlawfully taking a trade secret (defined above) constitutes the crime of larceny in Massachusetts and is punishable by up to five years imprisonment, or by a fine of up to $25,000 and up to two years imprisonment. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 266, § 30.
  • Damages: A court can make a defendant pay money damages to the plaintiff in an amount up to twice its actual damages. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93, § 42
  • Injunctive Relief: Massachusetts law gives a court the power to restrain the defendant from "taking, receiving, concealing, assigning, transferring, leasing, pledging, copying or otherwise using or disposing of a trade secret, regardless of value." See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93, § 42A. It appears that a court could order you not to publish a trade secret if it found that you had unlawfully taken it from the plaintiff. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution may limit the court's authority to do so, however. For details, see Publishing Trade Secrets.

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for a trade secret claim in Massachusetts is three years. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 260, § 2A .

Posts for tag: treating gum disease

We all want to maintain healthy teeth and gums, but many of our patients may not think about what is going on below the gum line. When gum disease occurs, regular cleanings cannot fully restore your gums and teeth back to a healthy state. This is when your dentist will recommend receiving a deep cleaning.

What is a deep cleaning?
A deep cleaning is also called scaling and root planing. Scaling is a procedure that cleans underneath your gums and in the pockets of gum tissue in order to remove tartar. Root planing smoothes out the roots of areas where germs may be able to get in and thrive. The scaling and root planing process helps your gums heal and for the periodontal pockets to shrink. This procedure usually requires 2-4 visits to complete.

Although gum disease is not always 100% curable, it is easily treatable. Deep cleanings are an important part of treating gum disease and keeping it from causing more harm to your mouth. After your first treatment, regular visits to the dentist will be necessary to keep your gums healthy along with proper at-home hygiene.

To protect your gums from this disease, be sure to click here to learn more ways to fight against gum disease.

Are you concerned about the health of your gums?

If you have not been to the dentist lately and are concerned that your gums may not be healthy, be sure to schedule an appointment with Dr. Samuels to examine your gums and teeth and make sure that any issues are taken care of.

Art in the Age of the Cloud. Interview with Carlo Zanni

As part of the project activities of the Media Theory and Methods class I teach at NABA Milan, Simona Cuttitta, Letizia Mari and Martina Matteucci met with artist Carlo Zanni to talk about his recent book «Art in the Age of The Cloud», published by Diorama Editions.

Simona Cuttitta, Letizia Mari, Martina Matteucci: The structure of your book Art In the Age of the Cloud is very particular. Why did you choose this kind of temporal organization by date?

Carlo Zanni: Time is at the base of almost all my works; it’s a constant, almost an obsession. It makes the artworks possible, and at the same time, it signals the end, the extinction. It is a transformative force that I hope permeates these pages too. The book is like a browser with 40 open windows. It can also be enjoyed in a traditional way, from the beginning to the end, but also by choosing an alternative reading path.

Carlo Zanni, Art in the Age of the Cloud, DIORAMA editions.

SC, LM, MM: The choice of beginning the text with a personal anecdote about the PS1 exhibit of 2001 was interesting. Why did you make this choice?

CZ: It gives the tone to the book. It is almost a declaration of intent. It contains personal references of a historic event (the last open call made by PS1 for international artists). It is about an exhibit consisting only of video art and it contains a technical anecdote that is paradigmatic for understanding the nature itself of works based on files.

SC, LM, MM: The book starts right away with a discussion of the Internet and new media, citing Napster and the change of perspective that it enabled at a global level, and especially at an economic level. How was and how is your experience of this paradigmatic change in the economy, which is inextricably linked to the Internet?

CZ: Until now, the art world has been impermeable to this change, which involved literature, and most of all the music industry. As for myself, I didn’t experience a great change on an economic level. Online platforms for art sell almost exclusively ‘objects’. There are nonetheless some interesting signals, some attempts that allow for hope. I think that a similar change to that which occurred in the music industry will also come to pass in the art world.

SC, LM, MM: Another important point in your text is artistic production. This too has undergone a radical change, passing from a unique object to one replicable by nature, thanks to new media which have been developed in the past few years. For example, video production is defined in your book as without limits, without borders.

CZ: If a video is transmitted digitally, it exists as a file in its final version, and therefore it automatically becomes potentially replicable and ubiquitous – just as any other file. It requires continual and unreasonable work to treat it as a physical object and preserve that fictional idea of scarcity that is imposed on it in order to justify its high price.

Carlo Zanni, Coin.Zanni.Org

Carlo Zanni, Coin.

SC, LM, MM: What changes at an economic level? What in the artwork’s usage?

CZ: At an economic level, in terms of sales, none (because the art world still declines everything within the model of ‘unique expensive object’). In terms of usage, obviously the Internet could permit diffusion, and thus the consumption of video art in a more decentralized way. What the art world has difficulty understanding is that one mode doesn’t exclude another. A video (like cinema or music) can be used in many ways, each of which enriches the ultimate experience and meaning of the piece. It’s not true that if a video is created online, it cannot be exhibited in a gallery. Anything but. They are different and complementary experiences. At the same time, it is undeniable that by impeding the circulation of a video, a crime is committed against the piece, which, based on a medium that needs to copy itself and reproduce itself infinitely to exist and manifest itself, has a natural inclination towards ‘transference’ and to being a ‘copy’. I think that the nodal point is to find a good balance and adopt a congruous and sensible monetization scheme. To sell (or try to sell) a video in an edition of 3 at 60.000 euros is not such.

SC, LM, MM: Art, as a bastion of the contemporary era in which it lives, now uses all media available in the world. From television to social networks. How did art’s public change?

CZ: It’s not the bastion. I too thought it was, when I began twenty years ago, and it should be, but it’s only a bastion in a few cases. It’s more a conservative system, and in many cases it’s reactionary, especially its market. (Or its pseudo-market – that is, the myriad of galleries that define themselves as ‘commercial’ but in reality don’t sell, and live off private capital, which I find noble and generous, but in this case such spaces should re-think themselves, and work to create a more ambitious and risky program, from a cultural point of view. To be economically autonomous is a privilege, and a great responsibility, especially in a cultural environment.) I began with the outset of the Internet and the type of public seems to me to be the same. More people now are skilled at technical work, that’s true, which goes hand in hand with the proliferation of bloggers and journalists.

SC, LM, MM: Today, what is the public that we face, and how aware is it of what it creates?

CZ: The public is definitely more erudite, in terms of the ‘technical/technological’. And this definitely helps. But for now the art public is still circumscribed and it is composed almost only of insiders. This facilitates and limits, for two reasons. On the one hand, this kind of public is relatively highly cultured, and this is a good thing. On the other hand, this public has a background in art history and tries to view art through that filter. It always searches for a link with the past, and I don’t think that’s always a positive thing, because it takes away the interest in forms of art that don’t have great pasts. There should be a great interest for new forms of art which have come about thanks to the Internet, but because they have little economic and political returns, this doesn’t happen, because, in the end, the ‘neutral’ interest of the pure researcher is almost never present.

SC, LM, MM: More generally, in your opinion, is the average user, who is now super connected to all kinds of platforms, informed of the media they use on a daily basis?

CZ: The younger generations could be more informed. My generation and older generations came to these media as adults, and they are divided between those who have a deep awareness—perhaps because they were already cultured and they had deep knowledge of preceding media before they saw the arrival of the Internet and social media—and those which were sort of subjected to this technological explosion that revolutionized our daily lives.

SC, LM, MM: How did our experience of the world which surrounds us change?

CZ: It is definitely more mediated. The danger, in the art world, is that Facebook or Internet searches substitute studio visits.

SC, LM, MM: In the horizontal and pseudo-anarchic system of the web, where each user is not just a receiver but can also produce content, is it possible, in your opinion, to receive an education on the media? Is it possible to render the user more aware of what they are using?

CZ: It would be fundamental, especially for new generations, who start off, at a very young age, with full access to extremely powerful, and potentially devastating, tools. My generation had Internet at their disposal beginning in the second half of the 1990s, and as it is more or less as we know it today, since the 2000s, so at age 25/30. It’s a similar story with cellphones and smartphones. We arrived gradually. When a gradual process is no longer applicable (for social, historic, or economic reasons) an attentive educational process towards production/information media becomes structural to the society itself.

A Short Guide to Playing Online Poker Gambling Games

While live poker and online poker gambling share a dreadful part for all intents and purpose, there are some noteworthy contrasts that make the truth of the game when played over the Internet an alternate thing. Primarily, it is extremely unlikely to see against whom one is hollowed and to decide if one is playing against experienced card sharks or just pastime players who are potentially in any event, having their first poker experience online or anyplace else. Succeeding at online poker gambling likewise implies being reasonable about the amount one is happy to risk to make some great memories. Succeeding at online poker gambling begins by making a genuine assurance of the amount one needs to play. Luckily, most online foundations necessitate that the player stores cash into a different record other than their financial balance or credit line. This implies one can add a roof cutoff to the measure of cash they are ready to play at some random competition or at some random table.

Working with this spending limit, locate a table where as far as possible will empower one to play sufficiently long to become familiar with the intricate details of the game and to have a ball without being in danger of using up every last cent. It is essential to remember that the activity at an online poker gambling table will move significantly more rapidly than it will at a club. This is basically because of the way that the advanced seller will have the option to put out the cards a lot quicker than a physical vendor. There is a genuine peril here in that one can become overly enthusiastic and, in light of the fact that one sees such a large number of pots, one may wind up wagering stupidly or dependent on their gut driving forces as opposed to on their reasonable choices with respect to procedure. Verify that the quick and angry pace of the games does not permit one to get messy in their play.

For instance, there are sure capacities accessible on most online Texas Hold’em games which should be possible consequently by your PC. Starting players will in many cases depend on these highlights to prevent them from settling on awful choices. In the event that you ought to happen to see various players make precisely the same move at precisely the same time, it is a decent marker that they are utilizing mechanized capacities as opposed to their own senses and that you are not facing the most experienced players on the planet. While this may appear to be somewhat mean, in the event that one genuinely wishes to appreciate a vocation succeeding at online poker gambling this would be a valid statement to make a move. When playing Domino QQ Online, it is significant that you verify that they set a period limit for their play. Since this is being done in your own home before your own PC it is extremely simple to overextend one’s capacity to make reasonable wagers and reasonable plays.

One More Round

My father and his wife are coming to dinner here at the Duckhaus on Tuesday night. I dread this with a dread that runs thick and black and gums up the gears of my clockworks so badly that even the finest butter cannot make them tick. But there were things Sam Spade had to do because Archer was his partner, and there are things I have to do because he’s still my dad, and I won’t have him forever.

Ever since my mother died I think we’ve both been trying extra hard to put old grievances behind us and make the relationship work. But for my part, I’m getting tired. Yes, relationships take work. But they shouldn’t take this much work, and the work shouldn’t be so bloody unpleasant.

Late in my days in the outpatient program, I realized that we really don’t have a relationship at all. What we have is a baseball game where the two teams are facing in opposite directions, wondering why no one ever scores a run.

If we had a real relationship I would not dread the idea of dinner with him and the Piece of Work he calls his wife. If we had a relationship I would not groan inwardly every time an envelope turns up in my mailbox with his handwriting on it, or an email turns up in my e-mailbox bearing his name.

I have these reactions because after all these years, I know what’s inside. And I know that it’s just going to make me angry. My father lives in the Land of the Blind Egoists and does not hesitate to stomp blindly through its thorny undergrowth no matter whose feelings he scrunches and squishes. In fact, he has always had a way of making others feel like the Guilty Party for Being Squished.

I’ve seen the way that real families interact when they get together for dinner. There’s a nice buzz in the atmosphere, everyone’s milling about, there might be one grumpy uncle in the corner but the rest are all making the scene in one way or another; maybe the television’s on, two or more people are working on the dinner, another is setting the table, the atmosphere is congenial, the topics of conversation are light and may include anything from the kid’s soccer game to the noisy neighbors to the movie they watched last night.

Family gatherings have never been that way when my father was involved, and now that it’s just my father, his wife and me, they are about as enjoyable as the Salem Witch Trials.

Instead of a cheery buzz, the atmosphere is might be similar to that of the Law Offices of Mordant, Shiver, and Rigor Mortis, L.L.C. on a day when an insignificant lower level member of their staff (me) has performed in a particularly disappointing manner and must be taught a Life Lesson, usually by means of an extensive narrative from the illustrious career of the senior member.

Never mind having the television on, Dad can’t stand that, because it gets in the way of his talking.

I’ve written about my father’s habit of monopolizing every conversation before, several times, on the blog, so won’t belabor it here. Let’s just say that when he does allow me to speak, it’s usually quite suddenly in the middle of a speech that I may not have been paying the fullest attention to, and then he’s usually attempted to limit my topics by asking a question, often one that has no connection to my reality. Instead of a lifebouy, he tosses me a black hole.

When I am given the free opportunity to speak, suddenly the entire world falls silent and shifts its focus. My father crosses his legs, turns his piercing blue eyes on me and looks at me as intently as if I was a culture on a slide and he was looking down the length of a microscope. This is not the way to have a friendly, nice, enjoyable, relaxing conversation. This is the way to make me clam right up.

The last time we had lunch together I was hung over and so I had the alcoholic’s nerve to stand up to him, in the alcoholic’s inappropriate way. I actually shouted at him, right in the middle of the restaurant, “Why are you staring at me? Stop it! You’re making me nervous!”

It didn’t do any good. It never does any good. He’s been to my house one time since then, and he talked and talked, and said his piece, then opened the floor for my response. I do not play by those rules, and so passed. Then he left.

I sometimes think it’s time to give up on it completely, because it is hopeless, “Rilly it is,” as Katherine Hepburn would say. He’s never going to change, and it’s never going to hurt any less.

But then I think of how suddenly and unexpectedly Mom died. And that still reduces me to tears, even just now. It’s been two years and all the evidence aside it still feels like something that happened to someone else. I still wish that I could talk to her every day.

Dad’s a year older than she was. I won’t have him forever. He annoys the living crap out of me. Even the good moments that we have are Strictly Formal and Distant. And yet I know that he loves me. Maybe that’s why I feel so guilty.

-- Freder.

EAB- Frequently Asked Questions

I have a dead street tree on my boulevard what is going to be done?

All ash trees in the Town have been monitored/inspected due to effects from emerald ash borer.

View the current list of ash trees and their timeline for removals, replacements, or treatment here.
(Last revised: January 28, 2016)

When will my tree be cut down?

View the current list of ash trees and their timeline for removals, replacements, or treatment here.
(Last revised: January 28, 2016)

Can I cut my ash tree down?

It is the Town’s responsibility to cut it down, please do not remove the tree.

How long does it take for an ash tree to die?

Within two years of observing symptoms, most of the crown of the tree will be dead. Complete tree death typically occurs within five years, but may take as few as two to three years.

Why can’t my tree be treated?

Your tree may not meet the specific requirements for treatment. Trees not infested with EAB may still have other health issues. Look for extensive branch dieback, sparse foliage, conks (mushrooms) on the trunk or branches, or severe trunk injuries, these trees are not good candidates for treatment and may need to be removed for safety reasons. Treatments will cost more over time than removing and replanting with a tree that is resistant to EAB.

What does a tree infested with the emerald ash borer look like?

Initially, the top of the crown begins to thin and partially die. Epicormic sprouting, or sprouting from the main stem of the tree, may occur. The presence of insects below the bark leads to increased woodpecker activity, which causes the tree to look like it is losing patches of bark. In severe cases, the bark of the tree may split in places where the larvae are feeding beneath.

Direct evidence of the beetle can also be seen. Small, 1/8" D-shaped exit holes, where adult beetles emerged from the tree, will occur wherever a beetle emerges. This may be above eye level, so it is important not to discount a symptomatic tree if no exit holes are observed. If the bark is peeled back, the galleries where larvae have fed may also be observed; they are meandering and are usually filled with frass (sawdust and insect excrement). Larvae may also be visible underneath the bark. The cream-colored larvae have bell-shaped segments and can be up to 1.25" in length.

What is the treatment criteria?

Based on best practice at the time, ash trees that met the criteria below were candidates for treatment:

•  20 cm or greater in diameter
•  Overall health and structure
•  Location
•  Level of EAB infestation

Will the Town be treating trees on private property?

Private property owners and residents are responsible for all costs associated with the treatment or removal of ash trees located on their property.

What kind of trees will be replanted on streets and in parks?

The Town no longer plants ash trees. We will carefully choose the type of tree to be planted based on the tree's function, the intended location and soil conditions. The tree may need to be replanted in another location in the
community due to changes in underground utilities and surroundings. Residents will be informed of these relocations.

Can I choose the type of replacement tree, or what type of tree will be planted?

The replacement tree will be chosen by the Town from a pre-determined list according to specific site conditions.

Can I keep wood from my tree after it has been removed?

No. The wood from Ash trees must be disposed of in accordance with CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) Regulations.

Adobong Baka (Philippine Beef Adobo)

Another adobo post?

We've never adobo-ed beef before, so I was very intrigued when I saw a recipe for Adobong Baka in Kulinarya: A Guidebook to Philippine Cuisine.

Beef, delicious.
Adobo, delicious.

So, I figure it was high time to see how red meat would fare when cooked as an adobo.

Our usual adobo suspects: cracked black peppercorns, vinegar. We tried out Sukang Iloco, a sugarcane vinegar, this time.

Garlic, of course.

I used a bottom blade roast here, which needed to be braised for a couple of hours to be tender.

But first, we browned the beef for extra flavor.

Everything into the pot: browned beef, garlic, vinegar, black peppercorns, bay leaves, soy sauce and water.

Verdict? Maybe it's just unfamiliarity talking, but I still prefer pork adobo over this.

For some reason, we found the flavor to be quite lacking. Surprising, given that we even browned the beef for this dish! And of course, how can flavors be anything but bold with adobo ingredients.

I'm still willing to give beef adobo one more chance, but perhaps I'll have JS make the adobo her way, instead of following the Kulinarya recipe.

Adobong Baka (Braised Beef in Vinegar)
from Kulinarya: A Guidebook to Philippine Cuisine

Serves 6

1 kg beef short ribs
1/4 cup oil
6 cloves garlic
1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 cup vinegar (cane, palm, or white)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 bay leaves
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

1. Have butcher cut the beef short ribs into 1 1/2-inch cubes.
2. Crush, peel and mince the garlic.
3. Crack black peppercorns.

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled garlic and cracked peppercorns with the vinegar, soy sauce, and bay leaves.
2. Add beef short ribs and marinate for at least 1 hour.
3. In a deep heated pan, brown the beef in oil in two batches over high heat. Add the remaining marinade.
4. Add the water to the pan. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until meat pieces are fork tender. Season with salt according to taste before the liquid has almost evaporated.

Just before serving, reheat the adobo and serve hot.

  1. I wonder if you marinated the beef. That will add more flavour to the meat for sure.

  2. I also prefer pork to beef adobo for some reason. Must be a familiarity thing.

  3. Its just that beef isn't as good as pork ;)

  4. Pork rules!!! And in a lot of cases Pork with fat rules!!!

  5. Sunset magazine featured beef adobo last year. Maybe their recipe would be better. If you want the recipe (not sure if online) let me know and i will email you the recipe. Love your blog!

  6. Haha... well, we'll try it with our standard recipe and see what happens.

    But, thanks for the offer! =)

Saab gets some more breathing time, gets approved for bankruptcy protection

Saab Automobile has received approval for their proposal for voluntary reorganization from the Court of Appeal in Gothenburg, Sweden today.

The move gives Saab some breathing room to secure short-term stability while simultaneously attracting additional funding, pending the inflow of the equity contributions by Pang Da and Youngman. Saab hopes creditor protection will allow it to survive until Chinese authorities approve a $336 million investment by Zhejiang Youngman and Pangda.

Separately, Saab said that it has launched an “efficiency improvement initiative” review of the company’s business plan for 2012 and beyond, aiming at creating a more flexible and more competitive cost structure for the company.

“During the coming weeks, Saab Automobile will identify areas throughout the whole organization where efficiencies can be gained,” Saab said in a statement. “The initiative will focus on both fixed and variable costs and aims to create a lower and more flexible cost structure within Saab Automobile by eliminating duplication of work, streamlining processes, shortening lead times, improving coordination between departments and simplifying the organizational structure.”

this is 30...

(The only recent pictures of just me that I barely tolerate.)

I made a list of "30 before 30" when I turned 28.
I thought 2 years would be plenty of time to check off each adorable goal I'd set for myself.

I honestly can't even find the journal I wrote the list in to see if I did ANYTHING at all.
I know "have baby #2" was on there, soooo...check!

You guys.
THIS, this is 30...

1. I recently got a nose ring. I didn't even tell Husband (we had talked briefly about it a while back, so no worries.) It was the most painful 3 seconds of.my.life. I mean, ooooouch. I was worried how it'd look with my so-called "Cindy Lou Who Nose," but I've never felt more like "me" than I do now with it. It apparently looked so normal, nobody, I mean nobody, said anything about it. For a bit I thought it looked SO bad, people were just being kind. When I finally brought it up, everyone thought I'd always had it. I was clearly born to have a nose ring.

2. I'm obsessed with personality quizzes and getting to know myself better. I'm an INFJ. Enneagram number 4w3. A big part of those persons is the need to be known and understood. I'm constantly reading and sharing articles with Husband for him to better understand this hot mess.

3. I crave community. Which is hard for an introverted, always moving, pastor's wife. Making friends has become both easier AND harder as I've aged. Add small children in the mix and geeze...this season can be lonely.

4. I've had the same head of thick, half curly/half wavy/half straight hair my whole life and I STILL don't confidently know how to style it. Hence the messy buns, braids, and hats. I did, however, successfully grow my bangs out and train my hair to go from a deep side part to an almost middle part. I call that winning.

5. I'm so terribly bad about printing pictures. There was a time, when Emmerson was around 10 months, that I printed probably 20 8x10s and filled the house with cuteness. That time, was the last time. Poor Hutch can't find his red-haired self anywhere.

6. I wish I was as fat as the first time I thought I was fat. I've tried almost every diet and "life change" out there. Paid $$$$ in meals and gym memberships. But I lack serious willpower. It's the worst combination to have extreme desire and limited motivation (and severe asthma. Man, I wish I was a runner.) But it can't NOT be mentioned that I did, in fact, lose 40 pounds this year.

7. I am painfully naive when it comes to politics. I've begun to educate myself, but the political jargon is SO hard for me to understand. I'm for sure Team "Let's just all be friends and eat queso!"

8. I'm unable to properly defrost my cars windows. It drives me crazy and takes me an extra 5 minutes in the car during the winter months. When does the "adulting" begin? 30, yes?

9. I desire to live the farm life. I'm talking chickens, goats, and a donkey or two. But, with the ever changing ministry life, "settling down" doesn't seem to be in our future.

10. At the end of 2015, I began the darkest season of my life. Depression, anxiety, marriage counseling, antidepressants, the whole shebang. We're still picking up those pieces, but God has (you listening, Lauren...He HAS) been faithful. Even when I don't see it, feel it, like it, etc.

11. I have a stack of fantastic books I started to read, with every intention of finishing, that still sit in my office. A constant reminder of my fails. It's not you guys, it's me.

12. I hate filling up my car with gas. It's a mixture between having a fantastic Daddy that always filled up for me before I knew I was running low and a certain incident when I was 16 and ran my car into a gas pump.

13. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I've tried it all. Teaching, camp counselor, secretary, retail, Disney World, stay-at-home mom, preschool, small business owner, etc. Nothing gives me that spark. That lack of "spark" of course, makes me feel as though I bring no worth to the world, my home, my family, etc. I listened to Husband one day (actually let his words fall over me) as he spoke truth over my life and all of a sudden, something clicked. In this season, I don't have to do anything but love my man and care for our babies. No one expects or loves me less if this is all I can offer.

14. I still watch "Beauty and the Beast" and "White Christmas" on repeat like they're about to be outlawed.

15. I so want to be a letter writer. The one who always has a card or thank-you on hand. I have the fullest of intentions, but alas, I'm left with a drawer of still-in-the-package thank-you and blank inside cards.

16. I thought my insecurities in high school would dissipate as I got older. Wrong. They escalated. And multiplied. But God gave me a tiny mirror in Emmerson and it causes me to mentally change the way I talk and see myself. I see her so perfectly. I know God sees me that way too.

17. I've never seen a single LOTR movie or a Star Wars movie completely through. At this point, I think I'll pass.

18. I can count on 2 hands and maybe 1 foot the amount of fully home cooked meals I've made. Please know this is a shame and not something I'm proud of. But I DID conquer the ever-intimidating Instant Pot and I'm.in.love. About to need BOTH hands and BOTH feet to count!

19. I haven't yet decided if I can pull of the baseball hat style, but I'm totally committed. Sometimes I catch my reflection and I'm feeling super fashion-blogger worthy, other times I look like a ragged homeless person.

20. Sometimes I act like I can't hear Emmerson when she's on Level 27 of the "Ask Why" game.

21. I just started caring about my skin. I mean, besides the whole acne scene in my teens. Under eye creams, daily washing my face and makeup off, all of it. (Disclaimer: Please don't take advantage of my naivety and try to sell me your stuff.) I'm slowly but surely adding and taking away things in my repertoire.

22. I have to Google how to boil an egg every single time I want to boil one. I'm THAT domestically challenged.

23. I have zero clue how to dress my body shape. Since my wonderful, beautiful, precious children ruined whatever figure I had before, I'm totally lost. I used to watch "What Not to Wear" and think those people were crazy. Now I walk out of my house and look for a hidden camera because I'm definitely one of "those people" now. How do you dress a potato?

24. We're averaging Christmas cards every OTHER year. So, don't hold your breath by the mailbox this year.

25. As I've aged, I've become increasing minimalistic. I also recently discovered hygge and I'm here.for.it. Less stuff= easier clean up. Every day, once in the morning and once before bed, I take 20 minutes to tidy up the house. My brain has become increasingly anxious and my anxiety is directly linked to the state of my house. Emmerson can't clean her room by herself in 2 minutes? She's got too much. Purge. I haven't worn 3 shirts in my closet in months? Purge. Just had a baby? Purge. Get.all.the.stuffs.out.of.my.house. (I did accidentally donate a box that had my high school and college diplomas in it. Oops.)

26. I still giggle like a school girl every time someone passes gas in the most inopportune moments.

27. I have tooooo many dreams and expectations. I'm learning to do an Elsa and let it go. Simplify my dreams and speak out my expectations. (Did y'all know men can't read minds? Go figure.) Husband encouraged me to focus on one thing I desire and take all the steps until it is complete. And guess what? I am! And I'm loving it.

28. I'm writing a children's book! It's a dream I've always had. One that grew with Emmerson's birth and again with Hutch's. I have a very rough first draft written out, with illustration ideas. I'm excited to see what the next year brings for my little book!

29. I can't clean my ears with a Q-Tip without hurting myself. 30 years and I'm still digging too far.

30. I've never been more excited to see the overall trend coming back. Second Grade Lauren has always been inside of me, secretly hoping they'd return. Just bought some "fancy" cotton ones and Husband has already had to put me in my place. ("You know you can't wear those every single day, right?") Pssshhh. Sounds like a challenge I'm ready to accept.

A (big) part of me looks at this list and sees all the failures I'm taking with me to year 30.

I thought I'd be more settled in who I am by now.
I thought I'd be close to 10 years in my profession.
I thought Husband and I wouldn't have near as many heated fellowships and my house would be exactly how I like it.
I thought I'd have more kids, definitely twins.
I thought I'd have a perfectly laid out, daily quiet time.

All these things I don't have... make turning 30 daunting. I'm no where near where I thought I'd be, even just 2 years ago. But in God's way, I'm beginning to see that's okay. He was probably laughing to Himself as I wrote out my cute list 2 years ago, knowing maybe 5 were in His plan for my life.

As I've talked to older, wiser women about turning 30, about half of them felt the same way. The others felt 40 or 50 were harder, but each decade came with their time of pause to reflect.

I have to look at what I have. And once I get started on THAT list...I can't help but welcome 30 with open arms.

So, world, this is 30.
She's a mess.
She's a bit too much to handle.
She doesn't have any idea what she's doing.
But she's learning every day to be content in following Christ and the handsome Husband He gave her.

(Disclaimer: I'm not actually 30 until December 24, but you know where I'll be that night...as a good minister's wife in a Baptist church...yep, candlelight service.)

cap it all

What is the meaning of "To cap it all"?

By Khalid, Oman (11th Dec.2006)

This phrase cap-it-all is an informal expression that is frequently used in speech. It is normally used when you are talking about a sequence of bad events. Suppose a person has had the worst day of his life. How will he go about telling you this? Well, he will probably begin by saying that first this happened and then that happened. He will continue with the list of things that went wrong. And when he comes to the end of the list he will say "finally". Instead of saying "finally" or "believe it or not" the person can say "to cap it all".

Here are a few examples.

* To cap it all, the train was running twenty hours late.

• To cap it all, she found that she had left her credit card at home.

It was a perfect day for birding on December 28; clear skies, calm winds and local birding expert Poo Wright-Pulliam helped the group spot 37 different species of birds at the Silver Creek Preserve. Some rare species were spotted including Northern Shrike, Tundra Swan, Golden and Bald Eagle, and Grey Partridge.

On December 30, the abundance of new snow created a perfect canvas for viewing animal tracks during the Winter Tracking Workshop led by local tracking expert Ann Christensen. The group discovered tracks from many active creatures and learned a wealth interesting tracking knowledge from Ann.

The ERC office was open during the Ketchum Gallery Walk on Thursday, December 29. Many friendly visitors stopped-in to view our exhibit. Our exhibit highlighted the current threats snowshoe hares, Clark’s Nutcrackers, wolverines, and sockeye salmon face due to a changing snowpack.

Dipping into the Flavor of Booker’s Kool-Aid Retort to Biden

By Fred Snowflack | August 1, 2019

Insider NJ

Getting attacked in politics is not necessarily a bad thing. It means you are relevant.

So Cory Booker had to be pleased Wednesday night when Joe Biden began talking about how Booker ran the city of Newark as mayor.

The former VP zeroed in on the police department, Biden said that under Booker’s leadership, Newark police routinely engaged in “stop and frisk.”  Critics say the policy allows police to stop and check
out individuals for no genuine reason.

Booker was ready.

“You’re dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don’t know the flavor,” Booker said, drawing laughs.

Booker said Newark Police had massive problems when he took over as mayor and that he was able to turn things around.

Forget about the actual issue. And the Kool-Aid. This was a good moment for Booker. He began the debate by polling no higher than 3 percent in virtually every sampling. In some polls he was at 1

And here he was going head-to-head with Biden, the frontrunner. Booker acquitted himself well. But he also did well in the first debate a month ago and realized no jump in the polls. Will this time be different? Maybe.

Booker began the debate criticizing Donald Trump for attacking his own country, citing the president’s negative comments on Baltimore. And when Booker said Trump was dividing the country “against itself” it was a good start.

Then what?

Booker used his next speaking opportunities to say that because Democrats were arguing with each other, Trump was enjoying the debate.

It was an odd comment to be sure. This was a debate among a large field of Democratic presidential hopefuls. Did Booker, or anyone else, expect them all to agree? What would be the point of that anyway?

As the nearly three-hour debate dragged on, Booker really didn’t have all that many chances to speak. He did say he would bring troops home from Afghanistan, but would not offer a timetable.

The senator from New Jersey used his closing statement to reiterate his theme that the nation and its people must seek a common bond. This was a clear rebuke of Trump, who Democrats accuse of destroying what binds all Americans together.

It’s a good point, but Booker’s campaign is not getting much traction and it’s questionable if that’s going to change.

We Have a White Nationalist Terrorist Problem

Aug. 4, 2019

If one of the perpetrators of this weekend’s two mass shootings had adhered to the ideology of radical Islam, the resources of the American government and its international allies would mobilize without delay.

The awesome power of the state would work tirelessly to deny future terrorists access to weaponry, money and forums to spread their ideology. The movement would be infiltrated by spies and informants. Its financiers would face sanctions. Places of congregation would be surveilled. Those who gave aid or comfort to terrorists would be prosecuted. Programs would be established to de-radicalize former adherents.

No American would settle for “thoughts and prayers” as a counterterrorism strategy. No American would accept laying the blame for such an attack on video games, like the Texas lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, did in an interview on Sunday when discussing the mass shooting in El Paso that took 20 lives and left 27 people wounded.

In predictable corners, moderate Muslims would be excoriated for not speaking out more forcefully against the extremists in their midst. Foreign nations would be hit with sanctions for not doing enough to help the cause. Politicians might go so far as to call for a total ban on Muslims entering the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

There are serious questions about how the United States has approached Islamic extremism, but if even a degree of that vigilance and unity of effort was put toward white nationalism, we’d be safer.

White nationalist terror attacks are local, but the ideology is global. On Saturday, a terrorist who, according to a federal law enforcement official, wrote that he feared a “Hispanic invasion of Texas” was replacing white Americans opened fire in a Walmart in El Paso. In a manifesto, the gunman wrote that he drew some inspiration from the white nationalist terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, that left 51 people dead. The F.B.I. is investigating the El Paso mass shooting as a possible act of domestic terrorism. The motive behind another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, is under investigation.

In April, another terrorist who opened fire at a synagogue in Poway, Calif., echoed the words of the Christchurch suspect, too, and appeared to draw inspiration from a massacre at a synagogue in Pittsburgh last fall. The alleged Christchurch terrorist, for his part, wrote that he drew inspiration from white supremacist attacks in Norway, the United States, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

An investigation by The Times earlier this year found that “at least a third of white extremist killers since 2011 were inspired by others who perpetrated similar attacks, professed a reverence for them or showed an interest in their tactics.”

White supremacy, in other words, is a violent, interconnected transnational ideology. Its adherents are gathering in anonymous, online forums to spread their ideas, plotting attacks and cheering on acts of terrorism.

The result is an evolving brand of social media-fueled bloodshed. Online communities like 4chan and 8chan have become hotbeds of white nationalist activity. Anonymous users flood the site’s “politics” board with racist, sexist and homophobic content designed to spread across the web. Users share old fascist fiction, Nazi propaganda and pseudoscientific texts about race and I.Q. and replacement theory, geared to radicalize their peers.

These communities aren’t new. Stormfront, an early white supremacist bulletin board and website, was begun by Don Black in 1996. Communities like the neo-Nazi site, the Daily Stormer, have spread white nationalist ideas for years. Some of these communities’ most unstable users have moved their hate into the real world — Dylann Roof, who killed nine black churchgoers in Charleston in 2015 had a Stormfront account under the name, “Lil Aryan.”

Yet, in recent months, conversations in one anonymous 8chan forum in particular have evolved. They increasingly focus on carrying out acts of white nationalist terror. In the wake of the Christchurch shooting, copycat killers have taken to the board to seek approval for acts of violence. They post hastily written manifestoes in the hopes that these rantings will be shared online and by the media —  and inspire more shootings. Posts actively incentivize the darkest impulses of the most dangerous users. In May, an anonymous user posted a screed on “Target Selection,” providing a blueprint on how to increase the body count during mass shootings. The community celebrates and compares the number of casualties from shooting to shooting — a gamification of mass murder.

Law enforcement currently offers few answers as to how to contain these communities. The anonymous nature of the forum makes it difficult to track down the validity of threats, and trolls frequently muddy the waters by attempting to dupe authorities with false threats and disinformation.

But the real world violence associated with the site has caused some agencies to pay closer attention to conspiratorial and hateful communities online — just recently an F.B.I. field office for the first time identified fringe conspiracy theories as a domestic terrorist threat.

Technology companies, too, appear unwilling to treat white nationalist terror online the way they have dealt with the online spread of radical Islamic terror groups, such as the Islamic State. Companies like Facebook and Twitter took bold action to remove tens of millions of pieces of ISIS and Al Qaeda propaganda and accounts between 2014 and 2018. Similar standards have not been applied to white nationalists, perhaps because, as a 2018 reportfrom researcher J.M. Berger, who specializes in online extremism, notes, “The task of crafting a response to the alt-right is considerably more complex and fraught with land mines, largely as a result of the movement’s inherently political nature and its proximity to political power.”

While its modern roots predate the Trump administration by many decades, white nationalism has attained a new mainstream legitimacy during Mr. Trump’s time in office.

Discussions of Americans being “replaced” by immigrants, for instance, are a recurring feature on some programs on Fox News. Fox hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, for example, return to these themes frequently. Democrats, Ms. Ingraham told viewers last year, “want to replace you, the American voters, with newly amnestied citizens and an ever-increasing number of chain migrants.”

“You will not replace us,” white nationalists proudly chanted at Charlottesville in 2017. (Mr. Trump himself proclaimed that there were “fine people” on both sides of that deadly event.)

In May, bemoaning an “invasion” of immigrants, Mr. Trump askedhow immigrants could be stopped during a rally in Florida. “Shoot them,” someone in the crowd yelled. Mr. Trump gave a smirk and said, “That’s only in the Panhandle you can get away with that stuff,” as the crowd exploded in ghoulish laughter.

Far more Americans have died at the hands of domestic terrorists than at the hands of Islamic extremists since 2001, according to the F.B.I. The agency’s resources, however, are still overwhelmingly weighted toward thwarting international terrorism.

The nation owed a debt to the victims of the 9/11 attacks, to take action against the vile infrastructure that allowed the terrorists to achieve their goals that horrible Tuesday. We owe no less of a debt to the victims in El Paso and to the hundreds of other victims of white nationalist terrorism around the nation.

Moderate members of the political right must do more to condemnwhite nationalists, even if the president condemns them from one side of his mouth and extols ethnonationalism from the other.

Advertisers have a duty not to sponsor television programs that flirt with white nationalism or advocate it outright.

Banks have a duty not to help finance white nationalist organizations.

Religious leaders should feel called to denounce white nationalism from the pulpit.

Technology companies have a responsibility to de-platform white nationalist propaganda and communities as they did ISIS propaganda. And if the technology companies refuse to step up, law enforcement has a duty to vigilantly monitor and end the anonymity, via search warrants, of those who openly plot attacks in murky forums.

Those people who encourage terrorism anonymously online should be named.

Those who sympathize with the white nationalist ideology but who deplore the violence should work closely with law enforcement to see that fellow travelers who may be prone to violence do not have access to firearms like semiautomatic assault-style weapons that are massively destructive.

Most importantly, American law enforcement needs to target white nationalists with the same zeal that they have targeted radical Islamic terrorists. Ensuring the security of the homeland demands it.

There can be no middle ground when it comes to white nationalism and the terrorism it inspires. You’re either for it or against it.

Fair Use Doctrine, Copyright Infringement Misrepresentation

Copyright abuse by copyright holders, rampant, now Lawrence Lessig and EFF win Fair Use Doctrine victory:

Lawrence Lessig Wins Damages For Bogus YouTube Takedown | TorrentFreak: " . . . .in August 2013 and with support from the EFF he sued Liberation Music, asserting his right to use the music clip under the fair use doctrine. Liberation acted in bad faith when it sent the takedown notice, Lessig’s lawsuit said, and “knowingly and materially” misrepresented Lessig’s video as infringing copyright. Now, according to the EFF, Lessig has settled his dispute with Liberation after the label agreed to pay him damages and “fix” its copyright policies.. . . ."

Microsoft Said To Be Considering A Free Version Of Windows 8.1 | TechCrunch: "The nomenclature makes it sound like Windows 8.1 with Bing might be pretty heavily focused on the browser and its role as a potential platform play, so what we could end up with might look a lot like Chromebooks, in fact. This is all said to still be experimental, however, so it’s not guaranteed that it’ll ever hit the market."

Windows 7 change is good for businesses but may be more bad news for Windows 8 - TechRepublic: "....when asked "Was Microsoft right to extend the availability of Windows 7 for business customers?," TechRepublic's panel of international business decisions makers responded yes unanimously  – but their enthusiasm for Windows 7 seems to be linked to their lack of love for Windows 8....Some took a stronger line; Ingo Dean, IT director of EastWest Institute, said "Windows 8 is not ready. Allowing us to continue to get Windows 7 alleviates our need to seek alternatives such as MacBooks or Chromebooks...."

Spam phone calls cost US small businesses half a billion dollars in lost productivity | ZDNet: "....Although the federal government's national Do Not Call Registry may offer consumers some relief from spam, it leaves businesses exempt and unprotected. The volume of detected and blocked calls jumped 162 percent from January 2013 to January 2014 and is on track to keep rising with the mass adoption of mobile phones....Unlike spam emails, which can be ignored, spam calls are highly disruptive and costly for businesses that rely on phone calls for sales" said Jason Flaks, Director of Product and Engineering at Marchex...."
