<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve recently blogged about how creating is extremely important: <a href="http://blogtothenextone.blogspot.com/2014/10/cooking-writing-and-surviving.html" target="_blank">Cooking, Writing, Surviving</a>: “Cooking and writing should not only be ‘spectator sports.’ Instead, they are necessary components of surviving.” </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">After a pretty intense work day I was fairly exhausted and cooking an authentic meal seemed a bit daunting. But the original plan was to make jaeger schnitzel. I could have easily delayed it another day and relaxed. But for some reason I was determined to make it. I have a great west facing open kitchen and the sunsets are pretty scenic. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">So I decided to make this dinner because it was comfort food from Europe; it felt right. My son was going to eat most of it so calories were not an issue. Breading the schnitzel the same way my mom did and creating a roux based sauce from the age old technique was somewhat comforting. Even stressful and emotionally draining events cannot kill your past, heritage and your accomplishments. Creating my version of comfort food, while watching the sunset, was comforting and a reminder of the achievement driven approach. I have never meditated, nor can I picture myself doing it, but this is one of the closest attempts to meditation for me (playing piano and writing are some of the other ones). Creating based on your skills are necessary components of surviving.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Key aspects to schnitzel:</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Tenderize the meat by pounding it with a mallet-the meat should become thin. This is actually fun. Traditionally veal is used, but tender cuts of port, chicken and even turkey have been used for whatever reason.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Use three dishes: Flour (season with garlic powder, Penzey roasted garlic is great), eggs, and PLAIN breadcrumbs.</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORs9A5v3Na1n1dmnKK28T1PyMppzbyeVovF1U2kOV10XVnN-yxhPNFsYtU_i2tYewgScCBxxM2n5c9S2XQcp9m9vvuGGrJk9AjJXqSorjcWAGhPOd2A6WRFOErjb9oI6iOAFU1lFs579J/s1600/IMG_0200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORs9A5v3Na1n1dmnKK28T1PyMppzbyeVovF1U2kOV10XVnN-yxhPNFsYtU_i2tYewgScCBxxM2n5c9S2XQcp9m9vvuGGrJk9AjJXqSorjcWAGhPOd2A6WRFOErjb9oI6iOAFU1lFs579J/s320/IMG_0200.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Quickly dip the cutlets into each-fast so that it doesn’t become thick. The breading should not overpower. If you are avoiding gluten due to allergy a finely ground panko also works (process is in the food processor).</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7X2YNesq7rzSUqcERYwi6tkII9aE3rzwsUYxsNt-eOzhem0QayMCPMad90lvQvED1KbfZYBuwlYIhroLTYjX26Y8lg1OQUaKH_1kMHWpXNGyxf6eK8oqPVbKqRdvIliXjNqK1omdmTrlm/s1600/IMG_0201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7X2YNesq7rzSUqcERYwi6tkII9aE3rzwsUYxsNt-eOzhem0QayMCPMad90lvQvED1KbfZYBuwlYIhroLTYjX26Y8lg1OQUaKH_1kMHWpXNGyxf6eK8oqPVbKqRdvIliXjNqK1omdmTrlm/s320/IMG_0201.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">For the sauce, use the traditional roux method to create a jaeger sauce. There are many recipes out there. I like to keep it simple and traditional. I like to use baby bella mushrooms due to their robust flavor. If you don't consume dairy, you can use soy butter, it works great for roux also. A non dairy milk can also be used. I have made schnitzel successfully when we were dealing with dairy, wheat and egg allergies.</span></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I<span style="font-size: large;">n my last entry on this “<a href="http://blogtothenextone.blogspot.com/2016/03/why-when-and-how-psychology-should-be.html"><span class="s2">Why, When and How Psychology Should be Taught in High School Part I,</span></a>” I addressed why teaching psychology in a relatable way could prevent damage from these beings (sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists, etc.). Because of how these beings are depicted in movies, television and literature, the garden variety version (e.g., not highly intelligent, not stylish or worldly) thrive under the radar undetected, wasting years of people’s lives and causing significant damage. Recently I clicked on an article about sociopaths in my newsfeed by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BusinessInsiderUK/?fref=ts"><span class="s2">British Insider UK</span></a>. This is not a psychology page but has some interesting and quick read articles (important feature, nobody is going to read a book until they are in a search phase of some sort) about entrepreneurship and lifestyle. I’m in the process of brainstorming some business ideas, so I subscribe to a lot of business type pages. Typically I would not even have clicked on the link, but I did, because I was in the ‘in search of’ phase. Why would I click on an article about sociopaths? I’m not involved with suave criminals. I’ve recently heard about someone wasting time with a narcissistic personality disorder being and they posted some articles, but it just didn’t resonate. It tends to resonate better when you are searching for an answer to something. I’ve watched friends break up with such people. I’ve heard horror stories, and I just wrote the predators off as bad people. But grouping all of them together as ‘bad’ doesn't really help one in the predictive mode. You have to avoid such people at all costs, regardless of how adoring they seem. Whether it’s you, a family member or a friend who is associating with such a being, having this is information beforehand could prevent damage, or at the least, reduce the time spent in such a destructive ‘relationship.’ I’m using quotes, because it takes two to have a relationship, these associations are not really relationships. They are relationships in the eyes of those they prey on (unless they are both sociopaths, then they are made for each other). </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">So the answer to how to teach this topic is extremely tricky. Because I too have tuned out all kinds of information that was out there. But knowledge is power, and if more people were empowered with knowledge of these beings and their patterns, much time could be saved.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">So how does one teach psychology to someone in a non academic way? Here are some key components:</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<ol class="ol1">
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s1"><b>Short and Easy Reading</b> - brief snippets-headlines in our newsfeed are 10 ways to x, or 7 ways to improve y, The reader’s attention span is extremely limited even if they are interested in the topic. I clicked on that British Insider article because their articles are brief. I didn’t need to read a book about sociopaths, because I didn’t even know that the content of this article was going to be relevant. I keep this in mind when I write…keep it short, concise and relatable. Still struggling with the ‘short’ part.</span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s1"><b>Relatable Survivors </b>- at the high school age, bring in survivors of such relationships. Men/women who in detail describe the adoration phase, the devaluation phase, and the ugliest exit they ever experienced. Of course these people need to be close in age to their audience, but be firm in emphasizing that these beings are not necessarily as they are depicted on TV, in movies and in literature. In fact, quite the opposite, it’s just a facade. A person might say, “Oh, I’ll take the adoration phase, then if/she gets mean, I’ll just leave, then I’ll know they are a sociopath, narcissist, or psychopath.” It is not that simple. If it was, there wouldn’t be countless boards online that are dedicated to survivors. This needs to be called out by the survivors. This survivor teaching is similar to when holocaust survivors talk about their experiences. </span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s1"><b>Role Playing</b> - engage in some role playing. I know in some of my business workshops, we engage in team activities of role playing. It makes you think things through. While a teen may giggle her way through this, they will have it in the back of their minds. Not that different from what takes place in sex education.</span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s1"><b>Tools</b> -And remind them that if they believe they had such an encounter, they need to leverage what’s out there about how to move on. There is a wealth of information out there on no contact, how not be lured back and how to leverage the legal system. </span></span></li>
<li class="li1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s3"></span><span class="s1"><b>Journal </b>or track relationships in general - and be on guard. That doesn’t mean you can’t ‘fall in love’ or you will never make a mistake, but journals are a good reality check at all points of a relationship. I think that journaling through a seemingly OK relationship is useful. The mind is great at blocking out trauma and bad experiences. It’s a great survival mechanism. But the other aspect of that is that we start forgetting the bad things about relationships and that can lead to someone: 1) repeating the same mistake again, 2) dragging out the ‘relationship’ too long because it’s not ‘that bad’, and 3) wondering if they did the right thing by dumping this horrid being. </span></span></li>

<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">So offering some ‘post’ information in high school is also helpful, especially during this day and age of social media. TimeHop and FB memories only show the public facade. Some people after a bad ‘relationship’ ask friends, was it that bad? Yes, it was. If one didn’t journal, a reading of former texts and fb messages will make the pieces fit. One can see the pattern that shows the lack of empathy and feeling. I’ve had friends tell me about how they accidentally came across an old text or email that reminded them of the painful reality they lived, not the public show. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Another benefit of teaching this in high school is that maybe your social circle will understand and believe what happened. They, as outsiders only see the public show and are in denial, even when presented with specifics. Maybe they’ll get it, and save their friends, daughters or sons from entering such a ‘relationship.’ Of course real friends don’t need proof and the whole field of psychology behind you to make them realize what really happened. But that’s another topic. Beware of the “I don’t want to take sides” camp; they bought the facade, don’t want to learn, and don’t really care about your well being.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">And since most high schools are not actively teaching about these beings; teach your children and close friends.</span></span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">I recently found out that many people have wasted years of their lives with sociopaths, psychopaths, and narcissists. The people that have gone through it and wasted years of their lives (relationship + healing) are all experts and can be very helpful. They help friends that are also emerging out of these abusive relationships.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Some great articles and blogs are out there to help someone through surviving one of these very detrimental situations. They are very helpful once the damage is done, but why couldn’t the damage be prevented completely? Most of the women (and men can fall to this too) I talk to are intelligent, strong and have their act together (which of course is a great target for a sociopath). How come they didn’t see it coming? How could they be fooled for so long when they are so smart? The goal of this blog is not to do the psychological analysis, there are already some great articles out there on this subject. But as I was reading through these articles and talked to friends, my thought was, these friends and I had no idea what a sociopath even is, unless we already dealt with one in the family or friend circle. Most of us imagine a sociopath as some intelligent, stylish, worldly guy that then pounces on you at the end and kills you or something. Sort of like Hannibal Lecter on the NBC series Hannibal. The character is suave, highly intelligent and worldly like Mads Mikkelsen, plays Chopin before he whips up a gourmet meal and he is an excellent conversationalist and great dresser. A sociopath is supposed to be intriguing in this way, and is romanticized by Hollywood and literature. This is our expectation of a sociopathic or psychopathic personality. An every day Joe can’t be a sociopath, he’s just some pathetic guy that needs help. A sociopath is more like the </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Governor from The Walking Dead, clever and there is is something you can’t refute about him. Andrea fell for him. But regular Joe, he’s authentic and nice. He needs help. If he ramps up the 'adoration' early on and even wants to move in with you fast, it's because he truly admires you and your accomplishments. We think that an average guy may be different, but they can't be a sociopath, they are too simple; a bit different, but nevertheless simple. Their simplicity automatically implies that they aren't sociopaths. This too was my perception, and I believe that I’m fairly intelligent and a good judge of character. Well, these perceptions and idolizations are not true. And after talking to friends, I know I was not alone in this misperception of what these people are. And yes, sociopaths, and the rest of these personality disorders affect both sexes. So now as a mother, yes, I’ve learned my lesson, but what about my son, he must steer clear of these types of people. And another added pain point of these misperceptions is that even your friends diminish what happened and how you've been hurt, because they too think that an abusive sociopath is some suave calculating guy not a seemingly every day guy And surely, the poor little average guy is just lost and discovering himself. The guy you claim is a sociopath is nothing like those sociopaths in books and TV. But it's just part of the show sociopaths weave.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Why do so many people encounter such beings and continue in these hurtful relationships? Because pieces don’t fit, and you waste years trying to figure out what is going on and how to make the pieces fit. Then after you finally realize that you can’t take it anymore, you go through the ‘how could he” phase. Because you still don’t know what you were dealing with. Until you talk to a friend, who encountered the same thing, and realize that you were dealing with a sociopath (or narcissist, etc.) Then EVERYTHING fits. The beginning, middle and end and post end (no accountability or responsibility) all fit. Everything finally makes sense Knowledge is power. I think if people knew the basic characteristics not the romanticized one of such beings, they would 'get it' faster or not even enter into the relationship. Now maybe in the old days, because extended family were around, we would get warnings from our mom, dad and other relatives who would insist that this person isn’t right: avoid at all costs. We may not listen, but that information would be in the back of our minds and the time wasted with such a person would be shorter. Because ultimately it’s easier to wake up to this type of subtle manipulative abuse when your whole family insists for years that it’s not right. Your parents can usually differentiate between a fake show and reality that such a being provides. The realization would come faster.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">But if we know that these sociopathic, narcissistic personality disorder individuals can be average people who don’t seem exceptional in any way, these horrible relationships could be prevented. My first exposure to narcissism was a beautiful painting of Narcisus, by Carravagio (1599):</span></span><br />

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">"And how he kisses the deceitful fount;</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">and how he thrusts his arms to catch the neck</span></div>

<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Narcissus stayed beside the stream gazing at his reflected paramour in vain, neglecting even to eat or drink. Upon his death, his body was transformed into a beautiful yellow flower, which still carries his name today.</span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">I seriously thought narcissists were just full of themselves and vain. I thought sociopaths were suave and intriguing criminals. Again, romanticized versions. After reading some basic articles, I now understand what they are, how they work and that they don’t need to be particularly smart, attractive or worldly. I understand why they run from responsibility and how to, in a <i>business like fashion</i> deal with them legally. I even understand the difference between a narcissist and a sociopath. And this is why I believe that psychology needs to be taught in a relatable way to teens so this thinking becomes engrained in our minds when we evaluate <i>potential </i>partners. Preventive thinking is always preferred to post damage repair. Having a basic understanding of these beings would allow us to read and interpret that well known 'writing on the wall.' Having a practical understanding of these personalty types and their methods is as important as understanding that you don’t use a hairdryer while soaking in a tub because you will be electrocuted. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">If we understood basics about these personalty disorders, they would just have to destroy each others’ lives since we would all be informed and would avoid them. Sociopaths would have to date sociopaths and other similar beings. And that too is happening these days when they have been found out and have to jump to the next ship. It is often another sociopath or narcissist that will match up with them in the same short time that they need to match up before the truth is found out.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Understanding what a sociopath is also empowers the subject of such a being to take care of the ‘post mess’ because they will understand better what these sociopaths fear (yes, they do fear) and how to introduce accountability into the sociopaths life (again, not dealing with Mads Mikkelsen here). The articles I've read help do that. Since they don't feel and they don't understand accountability or decency, they need to be dealt with in other ways. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">How psychology is taught to a teenager is important so that it’s relatable and they will process and remember the new knowledge. With the right knowledge they can, distinguish between ‘someone who is into you’ vs. a sociopath. As with anything, the right type of education will prevent years wasted and hurt that results from it.</span></span></div>

Chris Brown "Loyal" cover<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">Today on the news, I heard that Nancy Reagan passed away and she was fiercely loyal to her husband Ronald Reagan.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">My first reaction was, why is this attribute of her personalty called out on the news? Is there any other way to be in a relationship? Shouldn’t you be fiercely loyal to your loved ones, your significant other, your children and to some good friends? </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">But unfortunately I know that loyalty, like many other noble traits, is on its way out. As the art of letter writing, cooking, and some others are fading, so is the attribute of loyalty.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">People love to watch cooking shows, yet they don’t cook. People claim they thrive on friendships and social connections, yet many just have party buddies or acquaintances. Loyalty should be a key attribute of a true friendship.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">"Cooking and writing should not only be spectator sports," I stated in <a href="http://blogtothenextone.blogspot.com/2014/10/cooking-writing-and-surviving.html" target="_blank">Cooking Writing and Surviving</a>. Instead, they are necessary components of surviving. Relationships with your friends and partners are also spectator sports in this age of brokered personal services that are facilitated by great apps and websites. Need some extra cash? Rent your home out on AirBnB. But your home may no longer feel like a home anymore. It is now a brokered asset. You can rent all types of services these days. Who needs a real home, friendship or relationship? A service has a clear beginning and ending date, and terms. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">The fading concepts of character and loyalty have lately become a question for me. As I recently started writing a book, I’ve been struggling with how much ‘character’ to put into my characters. Sadly, too much character for your character is unrealistic. If they are loyal they will be labelled as lovesick, not independent and are subservient. Characters have to be ‘realistic.’ What is realistic these days? Characters need to be politically correct. They really shouldn’t be loyal because then they are pathetic. Also, integrity should be wavering depending on what advances their mission. The character shouldn’t be loyal to their significant other; no they should move on fast and have no ties. The friends shouldn’t be loyal because then they are picking sides and all should be a big democracy. No, loyalty is really a mafia trait, “don’t mess with the family.” But in real life, you can mess with anyone, and if you aren’t in the mafia, life goes on. Flexibility, agility and political correctness, even in personal friendships, is the way to go. After thinking this through, I don’t even want to write a book filled with such hollow characters, nor do I really want to know such people.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">At least the word loyal is still defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary:</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">unswerving in allegiance: as</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">a : faithful in allegiance to one's lawful sovereign or government</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">b : faithful to a private person to whom fidelity is due</span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">c : faithful to a cause, ideal, custom, institution, or product</span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: large;">I better write that book quick, before this word, like many others, disappears. Now trying googling the word loyal and see what the top hit is And yes, he’s right.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Cambria;">Narrated with just the right level of emotion by
Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), it goes something like this</span><!--EndFragment-->
</span><br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">"16, wide eyes, driver's license took two tries"

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Subaru has recently used a similar approach showing a family
growing through different life stages with different models of Subaru. But what
differentiates the Mazda Miata ad is the final scene and phrase, something Don Draper (Mad
Men) would have written and Aaron Paul narrated with the perfect tone:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">"<b><i>Now in the garage, something new, reminds you of
when you were you"</i></b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many can identify with this sentiment. Does it mean
that we spent our lives compromising the ‘you’ away? Or is that period of
massive compromise necessary to get the family and the cycle continues?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't identify with the teen who has the forgiving parents. Maybe the ad resonated with me because recently I’ve driven
a car that reminds me of myself; my son's first car (...and the cycle begins).
It is a sports car I loved and wanted but didn't get because I had to be toned
down because that's what you do for your family. And instead of trading up the sports car I had for the new one, I gave up on sports cars all together. Is this just one of the many things we compromise on during the massive compromise phase of our lives?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I suspect the ad campaign will be successful. Kudos to
the non fictional Don Draper and team who created this ad.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Update on my life without Facebook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Day 1 to 5</b> –
complete success and a few learnings:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I don’t like about Facebook:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">1) Major distraction with too much going on:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoyed not processing any
of this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t emotionally distracted
with anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I focused on my real
life. I didn’t see Facebook cliques.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Implication</i></b>:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I resume Facebook, I need to refine settings
and “un-follow”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>many so I don’t see a
lot of activity and updates on my newsfeed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s not that I have a disdain for my Facebook friends, but it’s seriously
impossible to keep up with everyone and truly process what’s going on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do like Facebook for keeping track of
what's new with people, so I will occasionally look in on their pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This selective browsing will reduce the time of useless scrolling. It's sort of like having a fence around your house, I like my privacy and no distractions, and when I come out, it's on my terms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2) "Idle time" distraction </b> (waiting in line at grocery store) by hitting the Facebook icon on my mobile
device because this became a habit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then, in turn, I would subconsciously process whatever I saw and my
thoughts would go off in multiple directions based on what I read. For the
first few days I actually did this, I would find myself hitting the Facebook
app icon on my phone just out of pure habit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Implication</i></b>: When I
resume Facebook (actually before I resume it), I will move the Facebook app icon to the second page of
my iPhone and iPad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be less
tempting to check Facebook so frequently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
will use this ‘idle’ time for better focus or simply not think about anything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall I thought the experiment was going great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I survived the holidays without posting my
usual food photos of the holiday feast I prepared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t share my joy of the holidays or my
fatigue of endless cooking with the Facebook world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was pretty proud of myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used Instagram to post an occasional photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This actually seemed more effective because
it’s a public page and the hashtags denoted the subject of the photo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used Twitter to keep current on the news or
developing stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The experiment was a success until day six, a Saturday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On this day, one of my kids had a happy major
life event and he posted a photo of this on Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to share in the joy of this event
and watch the comments. This was a day not to be missed by a
Facebook experiment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was time to
admit that there are a few things I do like about Facebook and that with proper
use management I can follow it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I put
my experiment on hold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I reactivated my
account and posted a photo of this major event as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like the Godfather “Just when I
thought I was out, they pull me back in.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I caught up with a few other events and decided that I will hold off on
the experiment until next month (year).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So I kept Facebook on and now the experiment was to see if I could use
it effectively since I learned a lot about my preferences during those first
six days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use it to check some favorite
restaurant specials, use the messenger app to communicate with some friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">But on day three, I decided to deactivate it
again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was still distracting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes a month to make a behavior a habit.
In the meantime, I’m still learning what I like and don’t like about Facebook. I believe this tool is useful, if I use it right.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Social media can be a powerful tool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Facebook has recently turned into a
draining experience. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used to enjoy my
occasional Facebook break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Checking
photos, status updates<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and ‘keeping in
touch.’ With 450+ Facebook friends this turned into a very different venture
that mostly comprised of scrolling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
the saying goes ‘go with your instinct.’ The chaotic noise of Facebook interactions was
drowning out my own thoughts and focus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was time to deactivate my account; take a break.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do find some valuable aspects of this tool but it’s gotten
to the point of a fractured and disjointed Borg collective with Borg
cliques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found myself taking occasional Facebook breaks during the
day to supposedly relieve stress or take the focus off of some more intense and
stressful situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was supposed to
be a mindless activity. Instead it turned out to be not only a time waster, but
at some subconscious level a total distraction made up of noise that was
affecting me negatively, It was time to deactivate the account.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">My goal is that by being completely cut off from Facebook, I
will figure out the best way to use this tool. For example,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the optimal frequency-once a week, twice a
week?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Optimize the settings so I don’t
hear the noise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By being away for a month,
I will break the habit of mindless scrolling and that bad effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Results of day 1 </b>– success, the noise is gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought I would miss the periodic checks
but I didn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This experiment is also a
great way to see who the real ‘friends’ are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

reminded how limited the ‘ready made’ baked good choices are for those with peanut and nut

kinds of home made desserts this season, but while shopping for groceries, I couldn’t
pass up these items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I blogged about this a

<span style="font-size: large;">Many breads are cross contaminated with nuts and peanuts and often dairy - we've had this challah bread for years. It's delicious for french toast as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And some other fun baked stuff. Yes, baking season is upon us, but these tasty traditional desserts are great and have an old world taste without the old world worrying of an allergic reaction.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, a reminder, for those with some gluten and soy allergies, Kosher for Passover is a great choice. When my son couldn't have wheat or soy, we stocked up on those items as well. Kosher doesn't imply nut free, these items just happen to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Shellfish allergies? Again, we have often shopped in the kosher seafood section so we don't have to worry about cross contamination with shellfish (still dealing with this allergy).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dairy allergies? Dealt with that too, and kosher meats do not have lactic acid based in dairy either-you can't mix meat and dairy in the kosher diet.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So while you may not have religious reasons to follow a kosher diet, it is actually a very allergy friendly diet.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">While this blog has been a great way for me to share some
expertise around creating some foods in unique ways, it’s time to change things
up.<span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">I initially started this blog almost five years ago to share techniques on how to
create delicious food while avoiding the usual pitfalls of processed foods and
the diseases that accompany them. Working full time, driving a sizable commute
and having a full blown career would have
been perfect excuses to ditch the kitchen and home cooking. But I couldn’t and wouldn’t
for various reasons. So over time, I
recorded my recipes and have gotten encouraging feedback from readers. I have even
used my blog to refresh my memory of a certain dish preparation. But I didn’t keep up with the blog. I cooked and cooked, but writing down
portions and photographing was somewhat tedious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">These cooking techniques were initially necessitated by my
son’s food issues (which we still have some of) and my refusal to succumb to
processed food in my kitchen. No, I
won’t use high sodium cream of mushroom soup for a casserole. I refuse to use use ‘food like’
ingredients. This blog is a way to show
that yes, you can have a career, and not feed your kids processed garbage or
bland boring food (the image of what a healthy meal consists of). It proved that if you chose to consume some
ingredients (or can’t), there is a way to introduce flavor. And ultimately nothing inspires one to go in
the kitchen after long workday like photos of a great home cooked meal and tips
on how it was accomplished. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Will I ever post more recipes on this blog? Yes, maybe.
Why the shift in direction of this blog then? Because food is just one ingredient in life, One element in that spectrum, it’s time to
include other elements. Much like
processed food can kill our bodies and destroy our ability to reach our full
potential, complacent thinking does the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">So what will I blog about now? Not fully defined yet, but it will include a
broader spectrum of managing and creating change beyond food. It will need to have enough focus to be useful, applicable and helpful too.</span><span style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who doesn't like meatloaf? If you are not a vegetarian or vegan, this is comfort food in many cultures. This meatloaf is sort of like scotch eggs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The top gets a slightly crisp texture from
the caramelized spices too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone has their favorite meatloaf recipe. I like this one because it's very taste and not overly salty. There are multiple flavors in here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can make this with meats you choose.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time used pork and turkey. I added pork because it adds a nice
flavor to turkey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The quantity of spices are guides, I usually judge visually.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 pound ground turkey<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">½ red onion<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.5 tsp Italian Seasoning (I use Glorioso's)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon authentic Hungarian paprika for the meatloaf mixture (will sprinkle more on top)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.25 cups bread crumbs<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 uncooked eggs<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1.5 tsp or so of Worcester sauce<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">½ tsp salt<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">½ tsp red pepper flakes (just sprinkle)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Generous sprinkling of garlic powder<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">3-4 boiled eggs<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">freshly ground pepper to taste<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tbs finely chopped parsley<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">½ cup of chicken stock<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven at 375 degrees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sauté chopped onion, set aside<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a large bowl mix everything (but the boiled eggs) very
thoroughly Spray very sparingly the meatloaf pan with cooking spray<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gently lay out half the meat loaf mixture and line up peeled
boiled eggs (just short of each end)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Place the rest of the meat mixture on top and pat to make it
into a loaf form<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf (slightly generously) with:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hungarian red paprika<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sprinkle with a small amount of Smoked Spanish paprika and
roasted garlic powder (I get both from Penzey) also on the top<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake on 375 for about 1 hour and 20 minutes (check with meat
thermometer).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Slightly tip the meatloaf pan and hold the meatloaf in place
with a spoon and tilt to drain any fat rendered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let it rest for at least 10 minutes - if you don't, it will fall apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove from pan (I do it by placing a plate on top of the
pan and turning the meatloaf pan).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy with some traditional side dishes like mashed potatoes
and gravy.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This blog is partially becoming my tool for me to remember
what I create in the kitchen and how I created it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I often refer to my blog for some recipe or
technique that I used before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This of course requires that
the blog entries have enough information to create the item.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That level of information can be time
consuming to add to the blog, so I occasionally skip the detail and I conceptually blog
about some great dish without adding the recipe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I planned to make this Yule Log (Buche de Noel) the night before Christmas
Eve and frost it the next day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spent
some valuable family time and it was midnight before I was ready to bake. I
first looked at my blog, which only had pictures, but no recipe of the cake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I quickly pulled up a recipe online and
started making it. After robotically measuring 3 cups of flour and blending it
with salt and baking soda, I realized that this recipe was way off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three cups of flour with six eggs does not
sound right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I frantically (now 12:30
AM) googled and rushed through all kinds of recipes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One called for cornstarch; I never use cornstarch in my cakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow, by
combining various recipes, I created the buche de noel cake part and rolled it
up to cool overnight (now 2 AM).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During
this process I also thought I misplaced two egg yolks in the separation process
(but didn’t see it in the drain) so I added two more yolks. Later, I realized
that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>nothing was misplaced, instead the
imagined discrepancy was due<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to panic
combined with fatigue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consequently the
cake ended up with two extra yolks which led to a very yellow and tasty cake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>buche de noel was a success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do not want to repeat this panic night again. Baking is
not something one can improvise (or the dreaded cake fall or cake break during
the roll can happen).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some on social
media were also asking me for the recipe after seeing photos of the finished
product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I decided to remake this
cake during the holiday season so I can write down the recipe and photograph
the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those who are familiar with The Walking Dead, when the
Governor was asked by his new partner “What are you doing?” He replied, “Surviving.” A great line from the
series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">But since we are not living in the midst of a zombie
apocalypse, we can probably do a little more than just survive, but are we?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I was looking for an item in the basement, I came across
some old letters written by me when I was 17 and some letters I received. I was somewhat surprised by the great quality
of the writing, the intensity, tight writing styles as well as the precision to
express feelings, barriers and other daily life events. The letters (from me and others) didn’t have
“I miss you, got to go, brb, ttyl” . Instead the sentences captured exactly the
sentiments felt at the time along with the realities. One built, strengthened and forged relationships with such
letters. No, these letters weren’t
written in the 1800s; they were contemporary and modern. I felt a sense of loss that I no longer write
like that. As I lost the knowledge of
some languages (Russian and German), I have lost the ability to express myself
that way, for whatever purpose. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This blog was initially inspired by my need to advocate some
healthier food options and share some techniques to achieve such meals. Cooking is somewhat of a dying art. People want quick instant food, processed
food. Cooking is too hard, too time
consuming and to many, just not worth it. Creating is too hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many also communicate in the same fashion as they consume
their food. Quick fragmented texts or
chats that mundanely list what the person did that day. Gtg, ttyl and such forms of expression have
zero impact on a relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Robots can write better than some humans. Some great writing still exists (books, some
TV shows, movie scripts, plays), but, like cooking, it is not a frequent
activity in a typical home.
Surviving? As bad processed food,
the inability to expressively write will also lead to an unhealthy state. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cooking and writing should not only be ‘spectator
sports.’ Instead, they are necessary
components of surviving. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently on Facebook someone asked a general question about
an ingredient and if it was safe for a gluten free dessert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gluten is not something we’re avoiding here,
but there was a time when my son was off of the top 8 allergens, not for fun,
but for survival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back to the social media post-I was taking a brief break from
work, mechanically scrolling through my newsfeed (iPhone) when I came across
this simple question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A well intended
question about an ingredient – such consideration is not so common.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I clicked on comments to see what people were
saying about ingredients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given my
interests and lifestyle, food related posts are more relevant for me than
political ones (I don’t click on those).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’ve mentored parents on how to manage food allergies and Eosinophilic
Esophagitis, so yes; this was the one I chose to click on for the two-minute morning
distraction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some comments were very
helpful and informative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But some were
pretty ignorant and insulting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes,
ignorance for the ignorant may be bliss, but not for the ones they are
subjecting to their ignorance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
ignorance around food allergies,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot
ignore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have dedicated a significant part of my life to ensuring
that my son can eat real food and have a decent quality of life and not be the
kid who <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>gets to watch others eat
seemingly fun food while he eats nothing or boring food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve rushed hot dairy free chocolate milk to
poetry parties in grade school, so he can feel normal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve worked with parents to make sure that
the food arrangement for parties has the treats I brought are positioned right
so my son and all kids can eat it (after I was up until 2 AM baking it), just
so he can feel ‘normal.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although we are
down to ‘just a few’ food allergens now (nuts, peanuts and shellfish), I have
not forgotten how it was for him to live without dairy, soy, wheat, eggs (and I
don’t even consume dairy).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have not
forgotten watching him watch other kids celebrate every accomplishment in the classroom
with pizza and ice cream, neither which he could have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now I was reading comments that some
people are pretending to be allergic or sensitive and how glad this commenter
was not to be a waiter anymore and have to deal with such things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I too am very glad that he’s not in the
food business anymore because his ignorance combined with his compassion would
have either killed someone or made someone very sick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Baking is a messy science.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Improvising is tricky and risky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So once upon a time, I used to order special birthday cakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was lucky to always live close to some fine
bakeries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Birthdays involve enough
planning and ordering the cake implied that there was just one less thing to do-nothing
to bake, mix or decorate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bakery cakes
always look perfect and I didn’t have to spend hours doing it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I thought most cakes were a bit too
sweet for my taste (European tortes/cakes tend to be less sweet), it was always
a hit with kids and family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the whole food allergy, EoE show hit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not too long ago, I had to make birthday
cakes free of the top allergens (meaning no eggs, no gluten/flour, and no dairy
or soy for the frosting).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was
challenging, but a few birthdays I managed to make two cakes (one for the kid
party and one for the family/friends party) in one day and still have a good
time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a way to make good tasty
cakes without those allergens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People
avoid those ingredients for others reasons as well (vegans – no eggs…and yes, I
made some really good cakes without eggs).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life has gotten simpler since then, I can now use dairy,
soy, gluten/wheat and eggs for baking cakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So why don’t I go back to ordering them?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Quite a few reasons:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The cakes/tortes I make at home are:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
And of course, most bakeries are not free of nuts and tree
nuts-so while I may not be ordering a walnut cake; there may be traces of
walnuts in the cake I ordered (baking is a messy process).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I’ve seen cakes from both sides now, and
I think a home made cake just feels more personal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course having a choice is the best, but if
I did have a choice, 90% of the time I would chose to bake a home made cake for
loved ones birthdays (or holidays).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
other 10% would be if I travelled during one of these events.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since I don’t like heavy, fatty sugary cakes, this one is my
favorite (and is a version of the cakes my mother made).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To start with, it requires a dozen eggs,
separated, and two mixing bowls, and both mixing attachments (one for whites
and one for yolk).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use free range cage
free eggs-yes, they taste better (I know farm fresh tastes even better). There
are simpler recipes, but this cake, in my opinion, is the lightest, tastiest
and showcases the frosting very well (especially a mocha or rum chocolate
frosting).<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hungarian is a phonetic language (actually Estonian, related
to Finnish).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the name of this dish is
fun to pronounce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My daughter used to
love asking for it, not only because she loved the flavor, but it was fun to
say: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rakott Krumpli (means something
like potato casserole-krumpli is one of the words for potato).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rakott Krumpli was one of my favorite childhood dishes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love potatoes and while some may think
blending potatoes, hard boiled eggs and sausage (in this case a good quality
pepperoni from Gloriosso Brothers). These three flavors (the pepperoni juice
blends great with the eggs and potato) combine great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Budapest my mother used csabai sausage
(similar to pepperoni) thinly sliced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Again, a </span>good quality pepperoni is a great substitute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyone who has sampled this dish, so far, loved it (and the
sample turns into main course).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are variations of this dish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some add cheese-I only saw that on the
internet, but to me that kills the great blend of egg/pepperoni/potato flavor
(would dull it out).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The authentic
version does not have cheese (as George Lang doesn’t recommend it either, and
he is a highly respected chef).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
mother made the version I make (except with Hungarian sausage).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Noodles that you don’t boil separately and noodles that
absorb the flavor of the sauce better than any other noodles I have used,
including rice noodles. Pancit Canton is a noodle used in Filipino
cooking. The beauty of these noodles is
that you do not have to prepare them separately. Instead you incorporate them into your stir
fry towards the end and in about 8-10 minutes they cook. This process allows them to absorb the flavor
of the sauce you are preparing while cooking.
I haven’t been able to replicate this blend of flavors with other
noodles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Simple steps to making Pancit Canton:</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Proceed with your stir fry as usual<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Incorporate about 10 minutes (so don’t overcook your
vegetables before)-make the stir fry a bit saucier than normal. For example, add some chicken broth to the
mix so the pancit has something to cook in (the liquid should NOT cover the
noodles…it should be enough for the pancit to cook in). Cook on medium high for about 8-10 minutes. Add more liquid if necessary (make sure you
don’t dilute the flavor of the sauce too much, so you may need to add the other
sauces as well).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will see the noodle getting softer (occasionally stir,
again make sure there is enough liquid).
Once done, drizzle some sesame oil and stir on medium heat for that
authentic Asian flavor and serve. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Note: I use the
Wildwood Super Firm Tofu not only because it’s easier to deal with (no draining,
etc.) but also because it’s higher in protein.
I marinate it and bake it (note, you can also pan fry it, but it’s more

We all know that fish (not farm raised) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But there are times when I really don’t feel like eating baked or pan
friend fish, even if marinated, breaded or prepared in an interesting way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, I know, I should make fish because it’s
so good for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today was one of those
days and in a desperate attempt,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ended
up making one of my favorite ways to consume fish and it wasn’t even that
difficult.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
My mother always made this dish for Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her version was a lot more complicated. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would buy the live fish (we lived in the
city, so there were special stores for this), scale it, etc., etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I had no pets, I really looked forward
to bringing the fish home because I got to play with the fish for a day or a
few hours. This modern day version doesn’t involve the extensive
preparation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet the authentic flavor is
still created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mother did add fish
eggs to the soup; that is the one missing ingredient. <o:p></o:p></div>

This Fisherman’s Soup was part of the traditional dinner
during Christmas Eve. During the past
ten years I was able to find this soup in a Hungarian restaurant called
Paprikas (initially in Chicago, then in Arlington Heights). This restaurant closed several years ago and
it took about five years for me to attempt to cook it. The dutch oven is a
great substitute for the traditional bogracs (kettle used to cook over the fire) that the
fisherman used as they made this soup on the shores of the Danube. There are variations of this soup; some add
green peppers or other vegetables. I
prefer this version due to the balance
between the tasty broth and fish.<o:p></o:p><br />

I haven’t added a blog entry for three months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I’m very busy but I’ve always been busy, so that’s not
the right answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did I cut back
on cooking and creating new dishes?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No, because I just reviewed my iOS album on facebook and I have all kinds
of food photos uploaded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do I tend
to not blog as much during the summer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thought that was it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But
after scanning through the dates in my blog, it seems to be a cyclical phase.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Blog for a while, stop, then blog for a
while, stop and so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish I
could blog during my commutes, but Siri is not that advanced. But even if Siri
was advanced, I would most likely only use it to keep a track of ‘to blog’
items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Words and ideas flow better

We avoided allergens for my son in EVERY restaurant in the
park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While we are down to
shellfish, nuts, and peanuts, Disney is known in the food allergy community for
being able to readily and accurately cater to special diets (including multiple
food allergies).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the
French chef (not Julia Child, while Disney is fantasy, resurrecting people is
not one of the themes) comes out and tells you exactly why a certain food is
safe for your child to eat, your evening becomes perfection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Disney kitchens were extremely
cognizant of cross contamination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The best part was dining in the various countries in Epcot. Certain
foods are typically cross contaminated with shellfish, but the fish and chips
in England was not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, I
gave the allergy ‘speech’ before every meal, but it was understood well and we
had so many choices.</div>

<i><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Koreans traditionally make a
distinction between the “tongue taste” and the “hand taste” of a food. (…)</span></i><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">
<i>Tongue taste is the straightforward chemical phenomenon that
takes place whenever molecules make contact with taste buds, something that
happens with any food as a matter of course. Tongue taste is the kind of easy,
accessible flavor that any food scientist or manufacturer can reliably produce
in order to make food appealing. “McDonald’s has tongue taste,” (…)</i>
<i>Hand
taste, however, involves something greater than mere flavor. It is the
infinitely more complex experience of a food that bears the unmistakable
signature of the individual who made it — the care and the thought and
idiosyncrasy that that person has put into the work of preparing it. Hand taste
cannot be faked, (…) and hand taste is the reason we go to all this trouble,
massaging the individual leaves of each cabbage and then folding them and
packing them in the urn just so. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What
hand taste is, I understood all at once, is the taste of love.</b></i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

I'm not proposing that people stop eating bacon (I'm lucky, I don't really like it), but in order to stop the horrible health epidemic, people need to start to look at their diets and reevaluate the quantities of unhealthy foods they ingest.

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the easiest to deal with and it also has
more protein.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t need to
press, squeeze, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve only
found this at Whole Foods and Woodman’s around here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It saves a lot of the playing around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other super firm tofu works too, but
you have to drain and press (I haven’t tried any of the tofu presses on Amazon
yet).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you buy another tofu, makes sure it is ORGANIC (fermented, sprouted)-do not buy GMO (defeats the whole purpose of eating it for health). As a side note, I only buy organic soy sauce as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Marinate </b>– tofu
takes on any flavor and marinating, seasoning makes a huge difference. If you
don’t have time to marinate, season it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pan fry</b> in a
healthy oil – this makes a huge difference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It goes fairly quick and gives the outside a nice
crunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes I sprinkle some
flour on top as I’m frying it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Throw into any dish instead of meat and you will get a healthier
version of your dinner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well prepared tofu is similar to paneer in Indian cuisine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>UPDATE:</b> 3/4/14-instead of pan frying, I've been finding myself bake tofu more. There are many ways to bake it. First I marinate it (30 minutes), then I place it in a 400 degree oven for about thirty minutes. I use the no stick foil to prevent sticking....while it's not as crispy as pan frying, it's still fairly crisp and firm.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Options 1 and 2 were not appealing because I knew most quick
outside solutions would be unhealthy, high in sodium and fat. Sure I occasionally indulge in such
items, but one can do this only so many times and get away with it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really was tempted to skip a meal since I wasn’t even
hungry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finally settled on option 4. I had some organic eggs, baby portabella mushrooms and some
other vegetables. This is a very
flexible dish. You can use what
you have, I wish I had spinach, but didn’t. Also, , tomato is a common ingredient for this dish, but I
didn’t have any.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Simple Recipe:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gently beat 10 organic eggs and add a little paprika</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chop a small or half of a large onion</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chop 1-2 garlic</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boil some potatoes (but don’t overboil) and chop</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wash and slice mushrooms</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chop parsley (1tsp)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salt</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paprika</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Optional -Various spices that you like (e.g., cumin,
turmeric…but in very small quantity)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">And other vegetables as desired.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pan fry vegetables in olive oil (not extra virgin as it has
a lower smoking point).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Typically add the onions first, then mushrooms and towards
the end potatoes and the chopped garlic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">When onions are translucent and vegetables look ready,
slowly pour eggs in medium batches and stir. Keep gently stirring until done.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was tasty and there is nothing to feel bad about (not
with the dish at least).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is not a frittata, but it has a very creamy
consistency.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">The only problem, I don't want to waste the great flavor on doing taxes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Note:</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Organic eggs do have much better nutritional content than their non organic version (the chicken’s diet impacts the nutrients in the eggs).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven’t blogged for a while. Talking to other bloggers, this is apparently a common phase
a blogger goes through. Blog, stop
and realize that it’s time to blog again since there is so much to blog about
and then stagnate on that thought for a while. We all know if we don’t</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">keep the blog fresh and new it will
die for sure. If it’s already
dead, we need to resurrect. So I’m
entering the resurrection phase.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First, why the loss in continuity? Time as usual is never enough and unlike the Rolling Stones
claim, it’s not on my side (but it’s definitely on their side). I have more than full time life/career
and in my spare time, I am also running a hobby site (totally unrelated to this
blog) that now too needs resurrecting also. Plus I have many other interests
and responsibilities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So as part of the resurrection process, it’s time to self
analyze. Why did I start this blog
in the first place, and was I true to its original mission? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are multiple reasons why I started this blog. Mostly, I refused to accept that
garbage processed food is the natural outcome of a busy life style. Friends would ask me for recipes – oh
how did you make this without some key unhealthy ingredient? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is well known that I personally avoid dairy like the
plague. This passionate hatred for
dairy was initially the outcome of my son’s G.I. issues; an up and coming form
of food allergy called Eosinophilic Esophagitis – a strange allergy of the
esophagus that can only be diagnosed via an endoscopy / biopsy. A condition you don’t ‘grow out
of.’ So after his diagnosis, we
tried the elimination diet (off the top 8 allergens) and it worked. His condition cleared up. The next 7 years were spent trying to
figure out which of those 8, if not all, are causing this reaction (food trialà endoscopyàconclusion). Over the years he gained back
soy, wheat, eggs, fish and now the biggest one of them, with respect to his
lifestyle, DAIRY, the most common trigger for EoE (the odds were against us).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, back to this blog. since it’s not a food allergy blog.
Over the past 8 years, I learned a lot about processed foods, ingredients, and
how to make food taste good without bad ingredients. Eating this way I stopped getting sinus infections, etc. I
wanted to share this knowledge.
Cooking and living this way led to the Hegelian dialectic and hence paradigm shift. So I started blogging about how to
shop, cook and live with real food ingredients while avoiding some culprits
that have been shown to be carcinogens and causes of diabetes. I started posting recipes and shopping
tricks. Then I had no time. Taking
photos and uploading them was easy.
It’s the recipes that slowed down the process. I don’t really follow recipes. I create dishes on the fly. For a new dish I always read multiple recipes that formed
the foundation. Then I create my
own recipe in my head as I apply some foundations that too are in my head. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Plus the whole
purpose of the blog wasn’t to be a pure recipe blog. There are plenty of great recipe blogs out there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So as with any resurrection, remember Imhotep, it’s time to
get back to the basics. The rest
follows (“Imhotep, Imhotep” – famous follows quote from The Mummy).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So to apply the Imhotep resurrection model, the first entry
is to remind (including myself) why I blog. With that step completed, I’ve set a goal for myself on the
frequency of new blog entries,
even if not a full blown recipe, something valuable the reaffirms. So for now, this entry is just a
reminder that one can live a busy life without ingesting garbage. One doesn’t need a food allergy or EoE
to do this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While unwinding from a long workday, I found this new source, it too is a
reminder. “We have to cook our way
out of this mess” – blogs and events like this are reminders not stray off the
path. It’s the anti unhealthy campaign
that we are exposed to daily (fast food and processed foods):</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://theeatin.org/" target="_blank">A new movement: The Eatin?</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Due to my son being able to eat dairy, we can now eat out
more (no dread of dairy cross contamination-if the spatula touched cheese,
nobody will get sick). But dining
out is a science too. Some
restaurants have better dishes than some others. I’ve found a few that are ‘less
evil’ than some others. Serving real food is of course the first criteria to
even visiting it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Healthy food is NOT boring. It’s the lack of know how and some social conditioning that
leads to people thinking that it is.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I haven’t blogged for a while, but now that grilling season
is over, it’s time to make some saucy comfort food. It took Coq Au Vin prepared
in a traditional dutch oven to get me to start blogging again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve been very busy, and working with
new techniques and dishes is what inspires me to blog (even though I seem to
have zero time these days).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">While this dish is meat based, the technique would work for
a robust vegetable dish also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A dutch oven is somewhat similar to a crock pot in concept
but I’m finding that for certain dishes it renders a different, less soupy
flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have wanted a dutch oven
for a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Le Creuset is
great, but I’ve decided to buy the Food Network version due; the price was more
reasonable and it seems very similar the Le Creuset brand. I almost purchased
the 5.5 quart one, but ended up getting 7.5 quart version instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m glad I did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dishes I make max out this dutch oven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you spend so much time making such
dishes, there are economies of scale, so you may as well make a large portion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I’ve also been reading “As Always, Julia:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Letters of Julia Child and Avis
DeVoto” by Joan Beardon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book
inspired me to finally get this dutch oven and return to some of the French
cooking I trained myself on in my early cooking days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made the Classic Coq Au Vin dish when I was a sophomore in
college.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I liked it, but wasn’t
thrilled with it, so over time, I abandoned it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This book inspired me to finally purchase a French style
dutch oven and make French style dishes again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a crockpot that allows me to saute and slow cook in the same pot, but I
suspected that the dutch oven would produce different results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To get in the mood I watched a few old Julia Child videos on
YouTube.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also read several
recipes on line for Coq Au Vin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
ended up blending various recipes (which is what I typically do).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I liked the Julia Child recipe, I
didn’t like the fact that I have to break adding ingredients at certain
intervals (e.g., mushrooms at end).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of the benefits of such cooking is once you fry your ingredients,
the slow cooking is fairly easy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There are many Coq Au Vin recipes out there…and you can add
your own variation (as I did).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
basically mixed the classic Julia Child recipe with a few other ones I’ve found
(one of them was an Emeril Lagasse recipe).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe the Beurre Manie, which is a classic French sauce
thickening technique (a different version of roux) thickens a stew/casseulet
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It consists of mixing
softened butter (substitute soy if avoiding dairy) with flour and add it to a
simmering sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes for a
very nice velvety sauce.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Also, classic Coq Au Vin recipes call for using bacon fat to
sauté the chicken, I avoided that also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m not against it, but I must be one of the few people on the planet
that doesn’t have an intrinsic craving for bacon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I used one free range (no antibiotic/hormone) chicken quartered
and about six drumsticks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also
added carrots to the traditional recipe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The pearl onions are a must.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They taste delicious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Some tips:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Always saute the ingredients. Sauteing ahead of time locks in the meat juices (this is true for crock pot cooking too)-if you don't saute, you get soup texture for your ingredients.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Make sure you scrape those seared pieces when you pour the
wine in (can’t do this with a no stick pan).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When the dish is done, make sure you uncover the dutch oven
to let steam escape</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Do not refrigerate a dish that is not cooled off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Basic technique (again, there is flexibility here):</span></div>
