Back from Brooklyn

In spite of the current heat wave, it’s still fun to visit Brooklyn and the city. This trip was different in that I stayed several nights with Rachel in Park Slope and had dinner two nights with Michael and Allison. What a treat! I am almost ashamed to admit that Rachel and I ate out every meal including coffee in the morning on the way to the dog run. Whoever came up with the idea that people in New York and Brooklyn are rude or aloof should spend some time in both places. Everyone was so nice, from the people and their pets at the dog run to the walk-up window at Bagel World early in the morning. The window is there for those with pets so even the dogs got a treat as we picked up bagels and coffee (me) for breakfast! And, it wasn’t a quick stop either because everyone wants to talk, say hello, find out what’s going on in the neighborhood, and make sure you get what you want. So by way of warning, this blog is all about what I did on my short trip.

On Thursday night, after a visit to Buy Buy Baby and learning a lot from the stroller team and the car seat team, we had dinner with the Evans family. marseille Loree and I have known each other for the same number of years that I was part of the Tallahassee book club. She has been my advisor for classical literature and talking books with Loree is a real treat. Kate is an amazing young woman who had just seen Matilda on Broadway and so we had lots to talk about. John was happy to be dining at Marseille since he had already investigated the menu. We had a fabulous dinner with amazing service, especially once they realized we were not leaving for the theater and so could sit and enjoy the dinner complete with after dinner sparkling wine compliments of the house.

Friday night started at Veloce Wine Bar in the east village, an area that I had not been to in decades. What a change from not venturing anywhere near it to a destination for fine dining and entertainment. But, it still retains its original charm and the reminders of immigrant life on the lower east side. village3 John’s, an old-time Italian restaurant was our destination for dinner and, even though we had to talk VERY loudly to be heard, we had good conversation and a wonderful time. Note the candles in the background. Decades of dripping candles in wine bottles! johns

Saturday night we went to the West Village to Sacred Chow, a vegan restaurant with amazing food. What a special night it was to sit in a quiet place and have a family dinner. Of course, it would have been more complete if Dave had been able to be with us. My trip ended on Sunday with a beautiful brunch with Rachel, a visit to the Brooklyn Farmer’s Market, picking up coffee at Cafe Martin, and pastries for a treat at home from Du Jour. If it sounds as if the weekend was all about food, it kind of was, but we did a lot of walking, work around the apartment, and traveling around the city. It is amazing how much walking one does whether in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Just getting to and from public transport involves a good deal of exercise which is a very good thing when doing a food-oriented weekend with family! Home to the woods with leftovers, pastries, and wonderful coffee. What could be better than that?

  1. So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

On the Ground with the Financial Opportunity Corps

Nathalie Carril-King had been on the job less than a week when a young student walked into the College and Career Pathways Center at Flushing High School in Queens, N.Y., with a look of anxiety and frustration on her face.

“She told me she wanted to go to college, but had no idea how to pay for it or where to start,” Carril-King recalls.

Carril-King is an AmeriCorps VISTA member serving with Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE) in New York City. She is part of Points of Light’s Financial Opportunity Corps, an innovative partnership between Points of Light, the Corporation for National and Community Service and Bank of America.

This fall, Carril-King and 19 other Financial Opportunity Corps members began their service with local nonprofit organizations in 10 communities around the country. Financial Opportunity Corps members will train volunteers to be financial “coaches” in their communities, helping residents learn strategies for reducing debt, improving credit, building assets, saving for emergencies and planning for the future. Like going to college.

“This program could not come at a better time,” says Christopher Kui, executive director at AAFE. “While many think that all of New York City has recovered from the recent recession, the reality is that almost half of New Yorkers are making less than 150 percent of the poverty threshold.”

Carril-King knows problems like these aren’t solved quickly – and won’t be solved before her term of service is over. But that’s part of what attracted her to the Financial Opportunity Corps in the first place. Its innovative peer-to-peer training model is designed to equip community residents and volunteers to keep it going over the years she knows it will take to effect lasting change.

It’s also one of the key reasons Bank of America partnered with Points of Light and the Corporation for National and Community Service to make the Financial Opportunity Corps a reality.

“Financial wellness is core to our company’s purpose,” said Kerry Sullivan, president of the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. “Through this partnership with Points of Light, we are supporting financial education efforts that can be scaled and sustained at the local level, leveraging the service of AmeriCorps VISTA members and our own employees to create positive change. That means customized solutions that put low and moderate income people – and their communities – on the pathway to long-term economic success.”

Volunteers from the community and Bank of America employees will serve as coaches. Through its partnerships with Points of Light and other nonprofit organizations, Bank of America employees donated more than 1.5 million hours of volunteer service last year alone.

Carril-King is already seeing the potential one-on-one coaching can have.

“As we talked, I could see her face change,” she says of the student she spoke with those first days on the job.  “She was excited and more confident. I’m looking forward to more students being empowered to say, ‘I can change this.’”

How you can get involved

The Points of Light Financial Opportunity Corps is looking for volunteer financial coaches.

What are we afraid of?

According to several sources (Wikipedia, GlobalFirePower, Global Issues) the US military spending is far greater than any other country on earth. In fact, US military spending is almost half (48%) of the world total! Yes, that means that we spend more on war than pretty much all other countries in the world put together.

World military spending is exploding, having increased by 45% over the last ten years. The world spends the equivalent of $217 for each person on earth. And the US is leading the way. We spend five times more than China (the only other “superpower”). Ten times more than Russia. We spend more than twice of all of Europe put together. What about all those Arab or Islamic countries in the Middle East that we fear so much? We spend 11 times more than all of them put together.

To further put this in perspective, this is equivalent to $2700 for every American citizen, every year. No wonder we can’t afford health care, and yet lack of health insurance kills 45,000 Americans every year — more than any terrorism, war, or other military threat.

    We have no jobs in this country because the jobs are in China (partly because we can’t make cheap goods be cause companies pay the health insurance). Isn’t the milatary creating jobs for our unemployed? Aren’t we paying $2700 to keep our people employed and give them health insurance? If we disbanded our huge milatary system, whatever would happen to those people plus all the people that provide the milatary with weapons, etc? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    People in the rest of the industrialized world make sure their taxes is spent on education, health care and social security. You know, things that actually improve peoples lives. It would be considered extremely dumb to give these things up in order to send citizens overseas to shoot at stuff. So, the question is not necessarily if the government should have employees, but what these employees should be hired to do.

  3. Military spending cuts will only come if there’s grassroots pressure to cut defense spending.

    Left entirely on their own, Congress more often than not acts in accordance with the will of their constituents, even if it makes no fiscal sense (i.e. exploding the military budget in the name of freedom while instituting not a war tax but tax cuts in the name of conservatism).

    The 2009 U.S. military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world’s defense spending combined. Healthcare spending is higher than anywhere else in the world. And all while taxes are lower than anywhere else in the Western world. It’s obscene when you think about it, and it’s certainly not sustainable, but I think it has become accepted because when it comes to big complex problems, the fear of political repercussions from upsetting an interest group or having the audacity to mandate that Americans to sacrifice something in order to resolve them outweighs the political benefits of telling Americans the the cold, hard truth (See Jimmy Carter, malaise speech).

    The truth is the defense budget can EASILY stand a 10% decrease in spending, but just as was the case with Wall Street and will be the case with climate change, until we reach the crisis stage of the problem, we’re not likely to do anything about it.

Ku Klux Klan founded Dec. 24, 1865

On this day in 1865, six Confederate veterans, meeting in Pulaski, Tenn., formed a secret society that they called the Ku Klux Klan.

The name combines the Greek word for circle (kyklos) with the Gaelic word clan.

Story Continued Below

In a short time, the KKK grew from a social fraternity to a violent group that sought to push back against key Reconstruction policies, such as enfranchising former slaves.

Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-1877), a former Confederate cavalry general and slave trader, served as the KKK’s first grand wizard or leader-in-chief.

At first, the group focused as much on intimidating Northern “carpetbaggers” as on putting down the freed slaves.

By 1869, however, the group regularly engaged in wanton destruction of property, assaults and murder, prompting Forrest to seek in vain to disband the organization.

In 1871, a Republican-led Congress passed the Ku Klux Act, authorizing President Ulysses Grant to use military force to suppress the terrorist group.

Under the act, nine South Carolina counties were placed under martial law.

In 1882, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Ku Klux Act unconstitutional.

By that time, however, with Reconstruction at an end, the KKK had largely faded away.

In 1915, a new group formed using the same name.

It was inspired by D.W. Griffith’s film, “The Birth of a Nation,” which glorified the original Klan movement.

Its white-hooded members advocated white supremacy, anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, racism, homophobia, anti-Communism and a virulent form of nativism.

The Klan’s popularity fell during the Depression. Membership further declined World War II in reaction to its support of Nazi ideology.

Today, the Klan has fewer than 3,000 active members, comprised of many splinter groups.

The American Civil Liberties Union has offered legal support to some KKK factions in defending their constitutional rights to hold public rallies and parades and to field political candidates.

Barack Obama is shown. | AP Photo

Roughly $23.4 million in two weeks was spent on ads casting Obama in a negative light.

Obama swamped with negative ads

The Koch brothers-backed nonprofit Americans for Prosperity and pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future combined to spend about $23.4 million against President Barack Obama during the second half of August.

That’s nearly 10 times the $2.44 million that Priorities USA Action, the main super PAC supporting Obama, spent against Romney, federal records show.

Story Continued Below

Groups supporting Democrats, such as Majority PAC and EMILY’s List super PAC Women Vote!, spent several million dollars in late August, but they primarily used their cash to target congressional candidates — not provide air cover for Obama. In many cases, the groups avoided the presidential race altogether.

Such imbalance in outside political spending has forced Obama to dig deep into his own campaign account to fund advertisements.

It’s also meant that Romney has been able to conserve his campaign cash, spending significantly less on ads, which quickly burn up tens of millions of precious dollars during a national campaign.

Here’s the rundown on the Top 10 outside political groups, from Aug. 16 to 31, sponsoring ads and messages known as independent expenditures that overtly support or oppose federal political candidates:

Learning Disability I

To learn properly we need 3 kinds of qualities:

Enough intelligence level;
Background knowledge to understand and;

The proprioceptive dysfunction leads to perception disability.

If a person has enough intelligence level and enough knowledge to understand but he can't learn properly, we must take action in order to find out the proprioceptive dysfunction.

If this is the case, this is the only way to properly help this person.

Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus is scathing of for-profit microfinance in a recent New York Times op-ed.

I never imagined that one day microcredit would give rise to its own breed of loan sharks.

But it has.

He calls out in particular 2 banks that we have worked with on project evaluations, SKS in India and Compartamos in Mexico. My instinct would be to remain agnostic on this one until the data comes in. There are good arguments on both sides of the debate. The best way to settle it is with systematic data.

The evaluation summary for SKS is here and for Compartamos here and here

4 December: Financing climate action

04 Dec 4 December: Financing climate action

B Faso small

Photograph by Isabel Carter, reproduced with permission

Today’s meetings include the topic of financing climate action and, in particular, of drawing in private finance for green development. A key financial issue will be providing sufficient funding to enable lower-income countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change as well as to undertake clean development.

At Copenhagen in 2009, high-income countries committed to mobilise US$100 billion a year by 2020 to address the needs of developing countries. Despite existing commitments, getting adequate support to meet this goal is proving an on-going and major challenge.

“The moral and economic imperatives to act on climate change could not be stronger. Although the road ahead will be difficult, with new and unexpected challenges arising along the way, we can find inspiration in Nelson Mandela’s famous dictum: ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’ We face an unprecedented opportunity to achieve a more sustainable, prosperous, and socially just future. Creating that future must start now.”       Desmond Tutu and Trevor Manuel, June 2015, “Why tackling climate change is a moral and economic imperative.”

We pray:

  • for barriers to be removed and for agreement and vision to build up adequate climate finance
  • for justice in sharing the financial burden of adapting to climate change
  • giving thanks for the substantial funding for clean energy promised by the African Development bank on Tuesday
  • for wisdom, inspiration and resolve for our politicians, leaders and negotiators as they seek to finalise a draft text.

“Be glad, earth and sky! Roar, sea, and every creature in you;
Be glad, fields, and everything in you!
The trees of the wood will shout for joy when the Lord comes to rule the earth.

He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.”        Psalm 96:11-13

God of abundance
You call us to a jubilee economy
Where people live in harmony with earth
And there is enough for all.

We are so far from our calling!
For some there is much,
For many there is little,
And the earth cries out for rest.

We pray that you will transform our hearts
So that we share with each other,
And grant us wisdom to find new ways
Of providing for all
And restoring the land.

We ask this
For love of you,
For love of each other,
For love of all life on earth
And the generations yet to come.

Prayer from CCOW contributed by Pray and Fast for the Climate

I lived on Maine Avenue in Atlantic City and was 5 years old. We rode out the first part of the storm. I remember the parking meters and cars being covered with water and pieces of the Boardwalk floating down the street.

The water came up to the top step of our house, which was right across the street from the beach and Capt. Starn's, but never came into the actual house.

Latest Video

We evacuated to New Jersey Avenue during what I guess was the eye of the storm when the water went down at low tide.

When we returned, the contents of our shallow basement were distributed about our backyard, but the house itself withstood the storm pretty well to the best of my memory.

I was only 5, but I remember it well. One of the reasons that I decided to ride out Hurricane Irene.

Sunday Dinner...

Giada's Chicken Milanese w/ Kris's Pasta!

I made this little ditty with the help of Giada Delaurentiis. But of course I added my own genius to the menu!

Giada's Chicken Milanese with Tomato Fennel Sauce

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups plain bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless and skinless chicken breasts, tenderloins removed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups (12 ounces) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

For the chicken: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.

Using 3 wide shallow bowls, add the flour to 1, the eggs to another and to the third bowl combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and thyme.

On a work surface, put the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, lightly pound the chicken until approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off. Coat the chicken with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

In a large, nonstick saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of the breaded chicken into the oil and cook until light golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Reserve the cooking juices in the saute pan.

For the sauce: Using the same saute pan, add the olive oil to the reserved cooking juices and heat over medium heat. Add the fennel and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic and thyme. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the tomatoes are tender. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.

Kris's Pasta

1lb Linguine (or your favorite pasta shape)
1 can diced tomatoes (plain or Italian flavored)
1 lemon (juiced and jest)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 shallot thinly sliced and chopped
1 handful of chopped fresh basil (and extra for garnish)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (and extra for garnish)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

While boiling salted water for pasta, combine all remaining ingredients in a large serving bowl. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes (al dente!). Drain pasta when cooked and poor into the large serving bowl with sauce. Toss the pasta so that it is coated with the fresh sauce. The pasta's own heat will heat up the sauce. We want this to taste super fresh so don't cook it. Let the pasta do all the work. Serve pasta along with Giada's Chicken Milanese and you've got one hell of a tasty dinner!

Salad Time!

Roasted Corn and Ricotta Salata Salad

Ingredients for Salad:
2 ears corn (husked/roasted/and de-cobbed)
1 cup cubed (1in) Ricotta Salata cheese
1 pint cherry tomatoes (chopped in half)
1/2 cup chopped scallions
salt and pepper to taste
Your favorite bag of mixed greens

For the dressing:
-1 part Champagne Vinegar per 3 parts Olive Oil
-1 tbsp Agave Syrup or Honey
-1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
-1/2 lemon squeezed
-1 tsp soy sauce
-2 gloves garlic, minced
-salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Husk 2 ears of corn. Rub them in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the cobs on greased baking sheet. Bake the cobs in oven for 15-20 minutes or until the kernels start to brown slightly. Take the corn out and let cool while you fix the dressing and other ingredients.

In a mixing bowl prepare the dressing. Add in the tomatoes, scallions, and cheese. If the corn is not cool yet, handle with oven mits as you cut all of the kernels off the cob. Place all of the kernels in the bowl with salad fixings. Give it a stir. Serve the corn salad over your favorite greens as a side dish or main entree!

Philadelphia Ice Cream!

When you take the historic tour through Old City in Philadelphia, there is one Franklin that you CANNOT miss. If you want traditional, old-fashioned ice cream that drips down your homemade cone on a hot day, and more importantly, if you want to feel (and act) like a kid again, head over to The Franklin Fountain in Old City Philly! Just a few skips west of the river, and there lies this famous mecca built of chocolate and cream, not literally.

With so many flavors of ice cream, root beer floats, egg cremes, and candies, one could take days to order. The possibilities are endless! I made a mistake in getting a medium cone filled with Butter Pecan. It was to-die-for but it was too much. I don't exercise enough these days to handle an indulgence as such! Hmmm... gym anyone, so that we can eat more ice cream?

Sunday Dinner...

This recipe is a combination of Giada DeLaurentiis and Me!

Giada's Bean Salad (serves about 4 or 5)
-A bunch of your favorite greens ( I love Chicory)
-1 can of black olives sliced
-1 can of white cannellini beans (drain and rinse the beans)
-1 red onion sliced
-2 cups of french green beans (cook the beans , then cool them)
-2 cups of shaved Parmesan... or you may want more like me sometimes. hehe!

Toss all of that goodness in a bowl!

My Dressing (makes enough for this and leftovers)
-1 part Champagne Vinegar per 3 parts Olive Oil
-1 tbsp Agave Syrup or Honey
-1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
-1/2 lemon squeezed
-1 tsp soy sauce
-2 gloves garlic, minced
-salt and pepper

My Goat Cheese and Truffle Puff (serves one, but make more for guests!)
-2 Puff Pastry Shells (Store bought, thawed)
-Truffle Oil (Expensive but so worth it, get some!)
-2 ounce wedges of goat cheese
-Salt and Pepper

Directions: Preheat oven to 400. Place parchment paper on baking sheet. Flatten out Pastry Shells with your hands. Place bottom shell on baking sheet. Put the goat cheese wedge in the middle of the shell. Sprinkle some of the Truffle Oil on top of the cheese (not too much, it's strong). Season cheese with Salt and Pepper. Place the top Pastry Shell over the cheese and close up the puff by crimping it. Brush the top shell with more Truffle Oil. Season with Salt and Pepper again on top of shell. Bake until golden brown and the cheese is oozing!

Plop that puff on your salad. Drizzle that dressing on, and eat up! It's damn good!

The Seasons...

...according to a little girl and her dog. Those were the days!

Prosecco, Rosé Style!

When in the toasting mood, whether it be for ringing in the New Year or celebrating another special occasion (or if it's just freakin' HOT), I reach right past that glass of Champagne and head straight for the Processo. Prosecco is an Italian sparkling white wine, made from the Prosecco grape. It's dry, fruity, and you get the bubbly sensation of Champagne without the headache! Well, it's been hot here in NYC and when I went to grab my favorite bottle of $13.99 (in NYC) Zardetto Prosecco, I decided to go with its Pink cousin instead. Forgive me, Zardetto. You've been good to me. However, Riondo Pink gets me.

Riondo Pink Prosecco is light, dry and fruity. Its fine bubbles give off aromas and flavors of cherry and strawberry. It's super tasty with or without food. And at $12.99 per bottle, how could you go wrong?

TIP: How do rose wines get their light pink color? Well, some red grape skins are only left in the fermentation process for a short while, where as in red wine the red skins are fermented much longer. Go figure!

Green Scoops!

Going organic when it comes to ice cream is a cinch! There are tons of organic varieties. But what about the spoon that scoops all of that natural goodness up? Merchant NO. 4 has got you covered with this cute scoop from Chabatree's Teak Collection. I know what you are thinking... "But it's made of wood!" Well, it's actually environmentally conscious because they use the wood from plantation farms, which don't use chemical finishes either. Seems pretty sweet!

The Food Network Drinking Game!

There are hundreds of TV-Show and Movie drinking games. Whether you watch 24 and do a shot every time Jack Bauer yells, "Damn it!" Or if you take a drink every time the word "Dude" is uttered in The Big Lebowski, you are no stranger to the game. Well, if you love to cook, I've got you covered. I would just advise getting all of your cooking done BEFORE you start to watch The Food Network and engage in my suggested shenanigans. And of course… You must be this old (21) to enjoy the ride!

The Show:

Gaida at Home and Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis

Giada De Laurentiis is one of my favorite chefs on The Food Network. First and foremost, she's Italian. Extra brownie points there. But her food is always fresh and light- not what most think when Italian food is on the menu.

So, what's the game? Well, as attractive as Miss Giada is, she tends to always open her eyes and mouth so widely with excitement that she gives the joker a run for his money.

Every time Giada looks so -excited-and-she-just-can't-hide-it take a drink!

Bonus Sip:

She also loves to pronounce Italian ingredients in an Italian accent even though she is speaking English and doesn't have a natural Italian accent.

When Giada says "Prosciutto" or "Parmigiano" a la Topo Gigio raise your glass! Salute!

Try her Blueberry-Limoncello Cooler

The Show:
Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten

Ina Garten is fabulous and she knows it. So much so, she loves to say it. However, that's not the only time you need to take a drink during one of her home cooked specialties. Ina also loves to mention and include her adoring husband Jeffrey, as well as asking, "How bad could that be?" when she adds something deliciously bad for you to a recipe.

Drink when Ina says/mentions:
Fabulousness (in any capacity)
How Bad Could That Be?

Bonus Sip:
When Jeffrey shows up and raids the fridge while Ina goes out with her Hamptons buddies.

Let the game begin with her Fresh Whiskey Sours!

The Show:
30 Minute Meals with Rachel Ray

Oh Rachel Ray. Her recipes are simple and interesting and she's always so organized. I also love how she gathers all of her ingredients in one shot. I wonder if she ever drops things and they need to film it again? Anyway...

Every time Rachel gathers ingredients like a squirrel preparing for winter... drink up!

Bonus Sip:
There's that laugh. Every time Rachel's infectious cackle interrupts her recipe tutorial... take a drink!

Wash all of this fun down with her Frozen Peach Champagne Cocktail

The Show:

Guy Fieri won the second season of The Next Food Network Star, and with Guy's Big Bite and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (aka Triple D) he's still going strong!

Guy' s go to adjective for something that tastes great is:
So that's your go-to to drink.

Bonus Sip:

Don't forget to take a swig when he takes a bite of food and has sauce all over his face and talks with his mouth full. I dare you to keep drinking until he wipes his mouth... With a napkin... (won't happen- see you in rehab!)

Give his Silver Sangria a go!

If you find yourself stuck inside on a rainy Saturday, just turn on The Food Network... and your blender! And remember, it's always 4 o'clock somewhere. Or do they say 12 Noon these days? Be safe!

Cane River by Lalita Tademy

I almost put this book back on the shelf before buying it. Oprah’s Book Club books have always been hit or miss for me. Thankfully I took this book on with me on our holiday in Mexico. I spent two glorious days laying in the sun, enjoying the lives of these beautifully strong women.

I loved every minute of reading this book. Lalita Tademy spent years researching her family history, and then used what she found to write a semi-fiction, semi-fact based novel about her female ancestors beginning in the 1800’s while they were still living in slavery. This is one of those rare books that tells a complete story. Each of these amazing, strong women, drew me in to the novel giving an excellent portrait of what a woman’s life in slavery would have been like as well as the Civil War, reconstruction, and the years of discrimination that followed. I was so sad to say goodbye to these characters at novel’s end that I found myself re-reading large sections of the book, unready to move on. I would recommend this story to anyone who has an interest in historical fiction, slavery, and the lives of real women. This is going on my all time favorites list.

The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin & Anna Kraus

During college I worked as a nanny, which is why I am surprised I never managed to pick this book up before now or see the movie. For a while I was really opposed to anything resembling chick lit, but now I have seen the light. There is nothing wrong with reading a little light chick lit every now and again. Actually, it’s kind of a pleasure after a long hard day.

The Nanny Diaries is written from the perspective of “Nan” the Nanny. Come now, couldn’t you think of something a little less obvious? This of course, is second only to the evil mother, “Mrs. X.” Apparently, the author thought this would be a clever way to make it seem like Mrs. X really existed. I however, would have much rather enjoyed reading about Mrs. Goldingsternman, or Mrs. Heathrightcliff… or whatever silly name. But, Mrs. X? It just irritated me. Nevertheless, aside from the terrible names of the characters, it was a fun easy read. Although I thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about my own “nanny-days,” I felt there was much lacking in the story. I always hunger for dynamic characters that grow and change and surprise me. These characters were predictable the whole way through. I give this book a 2.5 out of 5, (but I’m still going rent the movie!)

i Won!

I just won my first Early Reviewer book from LibraryThing! Truly, Madly: A novel by Heather Webber. I hope it arrives before Christmas in Cabo. I'm in the middle of The Nanny Diaries right now. I was going to save it for vacation, but decided that what I really need right now is a light read. Since moving to OC, I've been looking for a good used bookstore and this weekend I finally found it: Book Man. Floor to ceiling, three rooms of well organized books at reasonable prices. Now I can supplement my gift card purchases from B&N, without feeling guilty.

JK Pendragon on Junior Hero Blues ~ Exclusive Excerpt Local Giveaway

Prism Book Alliance® would like to thank JK Pendragon for stopping by today. Please give them a warm welcome.

Business Superhero with city

Title: Junior Hero Blues
Author: JK Pendragon
Publisher: Riptide
Cover Artist: Michelle Fairbanks
Genre: Action/Adventure, Alternate Universe/Alternate World, Fiction, Gay, Gay Fiction, Gay Romance, Humor/Comedy, Romance, Science Fiction, Young Adult
Release Date: 11/07/2016

Last year, Javier Medina was your average socially awkward gay high schooler with a chip on his shoulder. This year, he’s . . . well, pretty much the same, but with bonus superpowers, a costume with an ab window to show off his new goods, and a secret identity as the high-flying, wise-cracking superhero Blue Spark.

But being a Junior Hero means that Javier gets all the responsibility and none of the cool gadgets. It’s hard enough working for the Legion of Liberty and fighting against the evil Organization, all while trying to keep on top of schoolwork and suspicious parents. Add in a hunky boyfriend who’s way out of Javier’s league, and an even hunkier villain who keeps appearing every time said boyfriend mysteriously disappears, and Blue Spark is in for one big dollop of teenage angst. All while engaging in some epic superhero action and, oh yeah, an all-out battle to protect Liberty City from the forces of evil.

Welcome to the 100% true and totally unbiased account of life as a teenage superhero.

Hello and welcome to the fourth stop on my blog tour to promote my new YA Superhero book, JUNIOR HERO BLUES! Today I thought I’d go the traditional route and just post a fun excerpt to give a taste of what the book is about.

The excerpt I’ve chosen doesn’t really need much introduction. Suffice it to say that our hero, Javier aka Blue Spark, has been summoned to what he thinks is a jewellery store robbery, but he arrives to find a lot more than he bargained for.

I hadn’t really been given any info by dispatch besides that the incident was a jewelry store break-in, and when I arrived, the alarm was going off already, so that meant the police were on their way. But of course by the time they got here, it probably would have been too late. It was up to me to stop the thieves (if they hadn’t already finished up and left in the time it had taken me to find my mask in the bottom of my backpack), so I jumped down outside the glass doorway and warned all the civilians to take cover, before heading on in.

The thieves were still here, but it looked like they were getting ready to leave. My first clue that something was up was the fact that none of them were holding any loot, besides the head guy, and all he had was a briefcase. The second thing was that they weren’t wearing normal robber attire (not that robbers have a uniform but, you know) and instead they were wearing dark-colored skintight suits that looked a lot like Legion costumes only . . . well, darker. Also, they all had on masks, but not your old-fashioned balaclava-type masks. No, these were molded ones, heavy-duty, doubling-as-face-armor-type masks, like only heroes wear. Well, heroes and villains.

That confirmed my suspicions: these guys were with the Organization. I reached for my watch and subtly tapped the panic button that alerted the Legion that I needed backup. In the meantime, I knew it was up to me to either stop them, or else stall them until some more powerful Legion members could arrive and take them out.

All this happened in about five seconds, of course. Basically I walked in, the tinkly bell on the door went off, the guys inside looked at me, and I pressed the button on my watch. And then the guy with the briefcase turned around and distracted me with his junk.

Okay, you have to cut me some slack here, because one, I am a hormonal teenager, and two, it was, like, right there, and, um, big. And it’s not like I’m not used to seeing guys in spandex and/or spandex-like materials, seeing as I belong to the Legion and everything, but jeez, this guy was really impressive. It was almost obscene.

So at that moment I had about two thoughts in my mind, one of which was Distract them until backup arrives! and the other of which was Holy crap, his bulge, so my first instinct was to distract him by pointing out his penis to him.

I know. Shut up.

“What the hell is that?” I gestured dramatically at his crotch. “That’s not appropriate for children!”

The guy just stared at me, and I’m pretty sure his expression was something like incredulous, although it was hard to tell because, you know, mask. His eyes flickered over me though, and I remembered belatedly that as a superhero in a midriff-baring costume, I was not exactly above the “not appropriate for children” criticism. Also, the way he was looking at me was . . . I don’t know, kind of sexy but in a way that made me feel a bit uncomfortable and squirmy. And angry too.

“Hey!” I said loudly. “I’m talking to you!”

The guy shrugged, seeming a lot more relaxed than his two cronies, and grinned at me. “What’s the problem? I have nothing to hide.”

“Oh yeah?” I flushed under my mask. “Then why are you hiding your face?”

I’m sorry, by the way.

If you went into this thinking that it was a story about one of those epic, always cool heroes with the witty one-liners, who only pretends to be shy and dorky for the sake of his alter ego, you’ve probably realized by now that that is not what you’re getting. I, Javier Medina—or Blue Spark, as I’m known to the citizens of Liberty City—am one-hundred-percent dork, through and through. The mask only makes it worse. So yeah, I apologize. If this isn’t what you’re into, I’d recommend Captain Liberty’s autobiography. Not the current Captain Liberty, though, I’m pretty sure he’s super boring. But the Captain Liberty in the forties was pretty cool and witty. Except that he was kind of a huge raging misogynist. Kendall’s all into the feminist history of superheroes, so I know these things.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, I was detailing my epic levels of fail.

Well, let’s get on with that, then.

So the guy took a step toward me, and then another. And then he was staring down at me with this dark, evil glint in his eyes, and smiling like a crocodile. “Listen, kid, if you knew what you were dealing with, you’d get the hell out of the way.”

“I know what you are,” I said, pretty bravely in my opinion, considering that the guy was like three times my size. “You’re with the Organization, aren’t you? What’s your name, Evil McBigDick?”

I was stalling here, just so you know. I’m usually a lot more to the point. I think.

Anyway, I must have struck a nerve, because the guy’s smile went away, and he made a little signal to his cronies with his fingers. Then he said, “It’s Jimmy,” and brought his fist up into my stomach, catapulting me into the air and through the glass display window. “Jimmy Black.”

Stupid name for a supervillain, if you ask me.

So I went flying through the glass and it shattered all around me, and there I was lying on the pavement, staring up at the tall buildings and the sky. My stomach hurt pretty bad, and I was trying hard to breathe, and little bits of glass were digging into the bare skin on my back. I know, I know, midriff-baring costume, really, really stupid. But it shows off my abs, and my cool markings (more on those later), and I don’t think it’s fair that only the girl superheroes get to look sexy while fighting crime. Plus it’s not like the rest of my uniform is super heavy-duty. The thing about me is, I’m generally fast enough to get out of the way before taking any blows. And if Jimmy hadn’t been distracting me with his junk, I would have been able to. Okay, that’s probably enough about his junk.

The minute I could actually take half of a proper breath, I sat up to see that my backup had arrived, finally. Two superheroes—I think I recognized Lady Deathquake (awesome name) and Wolfhound—were locked in battle with two of Jimmy’s cronies. But Jimmy himself, not to mention the briefcase of whatever he’d been in the process of stealing, was nowhere to be seen.

Then I spotted him: running down the sidewalk, shoving pedestrians out of the way as he went, and turning down an alleyway. There was no time to alert the other heroes, or call for more backup. I had to follow him.

Darkfall 2.0: Aventurine SA details MMO overhaul

By Tina Chubb - Aug 15, 2011

We have some rather interesting news now for those of you that still play the Darkfall game, as the developer Aventurine SA has just revealed details regarding the upcoming overhaul. Once the massively multiplayer online role-playing game – which combines real-time action with strategy – has been updated, it will be known as Darkfall 2.0.

As Robert Purchese over on the eurogamer.net website recently noted, the update will literally change just about everything in the game. Not only will combat become more tactical and spells be redesigned, but the world and the monsters and dungeons within it will also be reworked. Advancement will also be done faster if a character is specializing on one role.

The major overhaul will also bring a brand new user interface, as well as new lighting, a new map tool and new visual effects. Darkfall’s crafting system will be receiving an overhaul for version 2.0, bringing with it more customization options. Gems will also be a lot more important in the upcoming Darkfall 2.0 update, since they will be used in enchanting.

Aventurine SA has also made some major improvements to Darkfall’s new player experience, including training quests for all basic aspects of the MMO game. The upcoming update also includes a new environmental audio system, as well as new area-based music and a number of replacements and additions to the game’s existing sounds.

As mentioned above, both the skill and attribute gains have changed a considerable amount. If a new player concentrates on just a single role, they will excel at that specific role in a relatively short amount of time through casual play. More roles and more options will then become available for them. However, players are able to use one specialization at a time.

Dungeons will now feature dynamic elements such as one-way doors, traps and moving objects. Not only have all the loot tables been redone from scratch, all of the item properties, calculation formulas and numeric values have also been completely refurbished. You can read more about the upcoming overhaul via the eurogamer.net website.

Are you looking forward to the update?

Join Project Feed the Hood and some of our community partners for a panel discussion and film screening of “A Place at o-A-PLACE-AT-THE-TABLE-570the Table”, from the producers of “Food Inc.”, in Smith Brasher Hall at CNM in Albuquerque on Wednesday, October 23rd from 4-7 PM. Click to RSVP on facebook.

Project Feed the Hood will facilitate a discussion about how food insecurity affects our communities and ways we can work together to build a better food system for all New Mexicans!

Project Feed the Hood has grown tremendously since its inception 4 years ago; our priority has always been to raise awareness, educate, and organize with communities to address food insecurity and structural inequalities in our food system.

Hunger and food insecurity vastly affect the daily lives of thousands of New Mexicans, with children being the highest at risk. Inequalities in the food system have left many in New Mexico hungry, yet overweight and unhealthy at the same time. New Mexico not only has some of the largest food deserts in the country, but some of the starkest dietary disease statistics (childhood obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc).

There are many ways to advocate for equality in the food system, and there are a lot of great groups in New Mexico working on a wide variety of food justice issues in their communities.

We look forward to seeing you at the “A Place at the Table” screening on October 23rd!

Check out video from the panel discussion at our previous screening here.

Security+ Study Guide

Table Of Contents

Welcome to the free Security+ Study Guide. It is our expectation that this guide will have all the materials necessary to excel in the Security+ exam. We have here a free study guide, cram sheet, and other materials that should help you conquer this pesky little exam.

The Security+ exam is a traditional, timed, and scored exam; the question bank for the exam is surprisingly small and therefore many of the questions that appear in one administration of the exam will reappear in another. What this means to you as a potential test taker is that you can prepare for the exam by studying past questions and concepts thoroughly. This guide makes good use of previous test questions and known tested concepts to help you pass.

This Security+ Study Guide consists of 16 lessons designed to take about one hour or less to thoroughly read and re-read. As a general rule, you might want to complete one lesson per day, so this guide should take roughly 16 days to complete. Of course, you can work at a faster or slower pace. Each lesson covers only the material that you need to know to excel on the exam and is filled with previously tested materials. At the end of each guide are questions for review that cover the information in the lesson that should help you better prepare for the actual Security+ exam.

The best way to utilize this study guide is to read each and every lesson thoroughly. Some lessons will inevitably be very dry and probably uninteresting; as it would turn out, the Security+ exam is full of questions on these dry and boring topics. It is imperative therefore that you read every lesson at least twice in order to understand the concepts rather than just the words presented.

Because the exam does feature some “exhibits” or pictures, the lessons in this guide will also have pictures that are there for more than just aesthetics. The pictures in the lessons will be decidedly exam-related and are thus important for you to understand and grasp as well.

After you read the guide and complete the review lessons, your next step will be to look at our Security+ Cram Guide, which contains some previously covered and some new material that is definitely going to show up on the exam. It is very brief but it is also very important that you understand the points covered in the Cram Guide before you take the exam.

Enjoy the lessons and read carefully. You should have no trouble excelling on the CompTIA Security+ examination!
