Among traditional Christian stories that challenge the Gospel According to John Wayne are tales of saints and beasts, the most well-known of which is the legend of Saint George and the dragon.
If we search for the elusive figure of the historical Saint George, we quickly discover that he never saw a dragon nor did he rescue a princess in distress. It's even possible he was a farmer rather than a soldier — the name "George" means tiller of the soil; for this reason Saint George is a patron saint of agriculture, herds, flocks and shepherds.
Saint George, born late in the third century, was one among many martyrs of the early Church. What made him a saint especially loved and remembered was the fearless manner in which he proclaimed his faith during a period of fierce anti-Christian persecution initiated by the Emperor Diocletian in February 303. George was among the early victims. Over an eight-year period thousands were tortured and many executed while others were sent into exile as slave laborers in quarries and mines in Egypt and Palestine. Churches were destroyed and biblical texts burned. Most Christians did what they could to avoid being noticed.
According to one ancient account, far from concealing his faith, George went to a public square and announced, "All the gods of the pagans are devils. My God made the heavens and is the true God." For this daring action Saint George was arrested, tortured and finally beheaded in the town of Nicomedia, in the northwest of modern Turkey. His body was brought to his birthplace, Diospolis, later known as Lydda and today as Lod in modern-day Israel. His witness led to the conversion of many and gave renewed courage to others already baptized.
In 311 the persecution ended. With Diocletian in retirement, the emperor Galerius (ill and close to death) published an edict of toleration allowing Christians to restore their places of worship and to worship in their own way without interference, provided they did nothing to disturb the peace.
A period of persecution ended but the memory of those eight years of suffering would never be forgotten. George was one of the saints whose witness remained fresh and challenging. Icons of him were painted and hung in more and more churches. As centuries passed he became the patron saint of cities and whole countries.
In early icons, made long before a dragon became attached to his name, George was depicted as a soldier holding the cross of martyrdom. Perhaps he was in the army, but he may also have been shown in military clothing because he so perfectly exemplified the qualities that Saint Paul spoke of in his letter to the Ephesians in which he calls on Christ's followers to wear the helmet of salvation and the armor of righteousness, to be girded with truth, to clad their feet in the Gospel of peace, to possess the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, and to protect themselves from the devil's flaming arrows with the shield of faith. However such symbolic use of a Roman soldier's equipment does not rule out the possibility that George was in fact a soldier. People from every class and profession were drawn to the Gospel, soldiers among them. George may have been one of these.
Then did the king array his daughter as if for her wedding and embraced and kissed her, gave her his blessing, and then led her to the place where the dragon was.
While they were talking, the dragon appeared and came rushing toward them. Saint George was upon his horse. Making the sign of the cross, he rode bravely against the dragon which and struck him with his spear, wounding him badly and throwing him to the ground.
When she had done so the dragon followed her as if it were a meek beast and debonair, leading him into the city.
The legend ends with George calling on the local people to be baptized. The king agrees, also promising to build and maintain churches, honor the clergy, faithfully attend religious services, and be generous to the poor.
From the point of view of history, the story is pure myth. Yet when you think about it, what better way to symbolize the evil that George actually confronted and defeated — the ruthless power of an emperor — than to portray it in the form of a fire-breathing dragon? George fought and, in embracing martyrdom, was victorious over a dragon-like adversary whose methods terrified and silenced most people at the time. We can understand the dragon as representing anything that makes us afraid and leads us to conform to a death-dealing society.
The white horse George rides in icons and paintings, a graceful creature as light as air and as fearless as his rider, represents the courage God gave to George in his disobedience to the emperor. It is the courage God gives to any Christian who would prefer to die rather than to collaborate with evil.
In many versions of the Saint George icon, the lance the hero holds is shown resting lightly in his open hand, meaning that it is the power of God rather than the strength of man that overcomes evil. The lance is usually shown as being pencil thin and often has a small cross at the top, thus stressing visually that it is not with weapons of war that evil is overcome but with the power of the life-giving Cross — the Cross that opens the path to the resurrection. Similarly, even in his battle with the dragon, George's face shows not a trace of anger, hatred or anxiety. His tranquil face serves to remind the viewer of Christ's commandment that his followers must love their enemies even in resisting them.
In more detailed versions of the icon there are scenes from before and after the battle with the dragon. Sometimes a castle is in the background from which Elizabeth's parents watch all that happens. Icons sometimes show Elizabeth leading the defeated dragon on a leash made of her belt, the enemy made tame — a symbol of victory of life over death similar to Christ's resurrection.
Bringing a wounded but still living dragon back to the town provides us with a powerful image of transformation. The final fruit of George's combat with the dragon is not victory over a monster or financial reward for successful combat but the inspiration George gave to unbelieving people to embrace conversion. The time of worshiping dragons and sacrificing one's children to them is over.
True stories become streamlined into legends and legends become compressed into myths, as the tale of Saint George bears witness, but there are many stories of the encounters of saints with beasts that may stand on more solid historical foundations.
One of them concerns one of the greatest medieval saints, Francis of Assisi. Toward the end of his life he received an appeal for help from the people of Gubbio, an ancient Umbrian walled town north of Assisi. Their problem was a huge wolf that attacked not only animals but people, so that the men had to arm themselves as if for combat before going outside the town walls. They felt as if Gubbio were under siege.
Francis placed his hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, master of all creatures. Protected neither by shield or helmet, only arming himself with the sign of the Cross, he bravely set out of the town with his companion, putting his faith in the Lord who makes those who believe in him walk without injury on an asp … and trample not merely on a wolf but even a lion and a dragon.
Francis led the wolf back into Gubbio, where the nervous local populace met them in the market square. Here Francis preached a sermon in which he said "calamities were permitted by God because of our sins and that the fires of hell are far worse than the jaws of a wolf which can only kill the body." He called on the people to do penance in order to be "free from the wolf in this world and from the devouring fire of hell in the next world." Pledging himself as "bondsman for Brother Wolf," Francis assured them that the wolf would now live in peace with them, but that they were now obliged to feed him every day.
Is the story true in the journalistic sense? Or is the wolf a storyteller's metaphor for the effect Francis often had on violent, wolf-like men? While the story works on both levels, there is reason to believe there was indeed a wolf of Gubbio. A Franciscan friend of ours, Sister Rosemary Lynch, told me that, during restoration work, the bones of a wolf were found buried within a church in Gubbio.
Another saint remembered for peaceful relations with wild animals is Gerasimos of the Jordan, shown in icons holding the paw of a lion. The story behind the image comes down to us from Saint John Moschos, a monk of Saint Theodosius Monastery near Bethlehem and author of The Spiritual Meadow, a book written in the course of journeys he made in the late sixth century. It's a collection of stories of monastic saints, mainly desert dwellers, and also can be regarded as a very early example of travel writing.
In the fifth century Gerasimos was abbot of a community of seventy monks who lived in the desert east of Jericho, a mile from the River Jordan. The monks slept on reed mats, had cells without doors, and — apart from common prayer — normally observed silence. Their diet consisted chiefly of water, dates and bread. Gerasimos, in ongoing repentance for having been influenced by the teachings of a heretic in his youth, is said to have eaten even less than the norm.
One day, while walking along the Jordan, Gerasimos came upon a lion roaring in agony because of a large splinter imbedded in one paw. Overcome with compassion for the suffering beast, Gerasimos removed the splinter, drained and cleaned the wound, then bound it up, expecting the lion would return to its cave. Instead the creature meekly followed him back to the monastery and became the abbot's devoted pet. The whole community was amazed at the lion's apparent conversion to a peaceful life — he now lived on bread and vegetables — and its devotion to the abbot.
The lion was given the special task of guarding the community's donkey, which was pastured along the Jordan. But one day it happened that, while the lion napped, the donkey was stolen by a passing trader. After searching without success, the lion returned to the monastery, its head hanging low. The brothers concluded the lion had been overcome by its instinctual appetite for meat. As punishment the lion was given the donkey's job of carrying water each day from the river to the monastery in a saddle pack fitted with four earthen jars.
A year later, it happened that the same trader was coming along the Jordan with the stolen donkey and three camels. The lion recognized the donkey and roared so loudly that the trader ran away. Taking its rope in his jaws, the lion led the donkey back to the monastery with the camels following behind. The monks realized, to their shame, that they had misjudged the lion. The same day Gerasimos gave the lion a name: Jordanes. The repentant trader afterwards delivered an annual gift of olive oil to the monastery.
For five more years, until the abbot's death, Jordanes was part of the monastic community. When the elder fell asleep in the Lord and was buried, Jordanes lay down on the grave, roaring its grief and beating its head against the ground. Finally Jordanes rolled over and died on the last resting place of Gerasimos.
The narrative touches the reader intimately, inspiring the hope that the wild beast that still roars within us may yet be pacified, while the story's second half suggests that, when falsely accused of having returned to an unconverted life, vindication may finally happen.
The icon of Saint Gerasimos focuses on a moment of physical contact between monk and lion — an Eden-like moment with an act of healing at its core. By the river of Christ's baptism, the Jordan, an ancient harmony we associate with Adam and Eve before the Fall is renewed. Enmity is over between man and creation, at least for a time in the small island of peace brought into being through one man's merciful action. The icon presents us with an image of peace — man and beast no longer threatening each other's life.
But again the question arises: Is the story true? Certainly Abbot Gerasimos is real. Many texts refer to him. He was one of the participants in the Fourth Ecumenical Council at Chalcedon in 451 AD. Soon after his death he was recognized as a saint. The monastery he founded lasted for centuries, a center of spiritual life and a place of pilgrimage. He is remembered as one of the great elders of the Desert. But what about Jordanes? Might the lion be just a graphic metaphor for the Gerasimos's ability to convert some of the lion-like people who came to him? Or might the story be as real as any event in today's news reports?
Unlikely stories about saints are not rare. Some are so remarkable — for example the legend of Saint Nicholas bringing back to life three murdered children whose bodies had been hacked to pieces and then boiled in a stew pot — that the miracles related in the four Gospels seem not so impressive by comparison. Yet even the most farfetched legend usually has a basis in the character of the saint: Nicholas was tireless and resourceful in his efforts to protect the lives of the defenseless. On one occasion he prevented the execution of three young men who had been condemned to death. In icons that include biographical scenes, we find him grasping an executioner's blade that was about the fall on one prisoner's neck. It's a story that has the ring of truth in the most prosaic sense. The miracle here is the saint's courage in saving lives while endangering his own. Christ's mercy shines through Nicholas's act of intervention.
It's not unlikely that Jordanes was as real as Seraphim's bear. In the fifth century, lions could still be found in the wilderness along the Jordan. We can easily imagine Gerasimos as a man from whom all fear had been burned away by compassion.
Lions have a special place in the human imagination. From the classical world to our own era, the lion has chiefly been regarded as danger incarnate, the most iconic image of "nature red in tooth and claw." And yet at times the symbol is transfigured. The lion becomes an image of beauty, grace and courage. In The Narnia Chronicles, C.S. Lewis chose a lion to represent Christ. The handsome stone lions on guard outside the main entrance of the New York Public Library have always struck me as guardians of truth and wisdom.
There is still one more wrinkle to the ancient story of Gerasimos and Jordanes. Saint Jerome, the great scholar responsible for rendering the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, long honored in the West as patron saint of translators, lived for years in a cave near the place of Christ's Nativity in Bethlehem only a two-day walk from Gerasimos's monastery. The name of Gerasimos is not very different from Geronimus, the Latin word for Jerome. Pilgrims from the West apparently connected the story told of Gerasimos with Jerome. Given the fact that Jerome sometimes wrote letters with a lionish bite, perhaps it's appropriate that Gerasimos's lion eventually wandered into images of Jerome. It's rare to find a painting of Jerome in which the lion is absent.
The stories of the man-and-beast encounters of Francis of Assisi, Gerasimos of the Jordan and Seraphim of Sarov are parables of the conversion of enmity into friendship. For the would-be peacemaker, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an icon of at least one of these saints somewhere in your home. Need an image to stimulate courage? Get an icon of Saint George battling the dragon.

Tucson Medical Center and Davis Monthan Air Force Base have teamed up to help medical professionals at the base more hands-on experience.
Medical providers in the Air Force are well trained, but local officials say they can learn more with better hands-on experiences.
Michael Lavor is a retired vascular trauma surgeon. His medical career began as a Navy corpsman with the Marines in 1967. He returned to the military seven years ago as a surgeon and ran a forward operating base in Afghanistan.
That medical training and military history brought him to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson to talk with base officials about enhancing the hands-on experience for medical technicians, nurses, and doctors.
VIEW LARGER An Air Force member's patches representing units at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Base officials like the idea because Davis-Monthan has only outpatient facilities.
Base officials teamed up with Tucson Medical Center to set up weeklong rotations through different departments at the hospital.
"By doing some of these cases in town and getting our folks in rotations with the medical centers in town it gives them that opportunity for their clinical currency to see some more complex cases that they need," said Lt. Col. Brent Cunningham, 355th Medical Squadron Commander, Davis-Monthan AFB.
Participants in the rotation will spend time in the emergency room, the intensive care unit and the wound care center.
Master Sgt. Pablo Vasquez was one of the first to go through the rotation. He said he was very happy with the opportunity, especially to work in the wound care center.
VIEW LARGER Master Sgt. Pablo Vasquez assists in treating a patient with retired vascular trauma surgeon Michael Lavor.
"Overseas … there is more than likely to be patients that have various types of wounds that we not only as medical technicians but also nurses and providers are going to see, which gives us the ability to assess the specific type of wound and to treat accordingly," said Vasquez.
At the wound care center, he had a chance to work with Lavor. Both men were pleased with the experience.
"When they go into a war zone or when they go into a zone where they are taking care of people who have been triaged out, you are going to see wounds. And be able to work with them and actually feel how you put a dressing on, the different techniques of doing something from some of these nurses who are highly experienced here is very beneficial," said Lavor.
The toughest critics, the patients, also seemed happy.
"It's great," said Barbara Liittschwager.
Organizers hope the program will continue long into the future.

Handel Weekend
It's a bit late to take notice of this, but last weekend the Symphony Chorus did its thing and, as usual, I'm here to tell about it.
The first half of the program was a freebie for the singers. Guest conductor Nicholas McGegan conducted Mendelssohn's Fair Melusine Overture and Haydn's Sinfonia Concertante. The first uses pure music to dramatize, in rich Romantic fashion, the story of a woman who is cursed to become a water sprite at night. The second called upon four soloists - Alison Harney, violin; Melissa Brooks, cello; Andrew Gott, bassoon; and Barbara Orland, oboe - for a merry conversation with the orchestra and, particularly in the middle movement, amongst themselves. All of these soloists are attractive, young members of the orchestra, none of them first-chairs; so it was a nice opportunity for some of the less conspicuous talent in the Symphony to shine.
After the intermission, the chorus trooped onstage and joined in with Handel's Ode for Saint Cecilia's Day. This was a piece celebrating music itself, based on a poem by John Dryden that depicts music as the force that knits the whole creation together, and that has many other powers besides. It was wonderful to do this piece with Nic McGegan, who has conducted us before, and who is a world-class specialist in Handel's operas and oratorios. He achieves a remarkable degree of musical sensitivity and detail without seeming to push for it, and his batonless conducting style is full of infectious joy.
The chorus only sang in three numbers out of over a dozen. So we had plenty of time to sit and enjoy Handel's overture, minuets, and march for orchestra, plus a succession of spectacular arias sung by soprano Laura Claycomb and tenor Thomas Cooley. Both singers had a clear, beautiful tone, astounding agility, and the ability to combine note-perfect accuracy with deeply expressive musicality. I understand at secondhand that our local music reviewer, a.k.a. hatchet-job-specialist, said otherwise. But I was there. I know whereof I speak. And, not to put too fine a point on it, the Post-Dispatch's Sarah Bryan Miller is full of crap.
St. Cecilia is a forerunner of Messiah, an oratorio in miniature with all the same kinds of pleasure in it. It had slow arias, furnishing the orchestra's own with opportunities to shine in obbligato solos, such as principal cellist Daniel Lee (whose poetry earned him a roar at curtain-call time), flautist Mark Sparks (who took away the laurel for the best cadenza of the night), and trumpeter Susan Slaughter (always able to achieve seemingly supernatural effects with her horn). The orchestra also came equipped with several continuo instruments, including a two-rank portative organ (which had its own solo at one point), a harpsichord, and an enormous lute-like instrument known as the theorbo which, I found, makes an effective fill-in for the old "Is that a ___ in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" joke.
So with all this spectacular musicianship and musical novelty onstage, the chorus had to work hard to be noticed at all. We were noticed, though. At least, it was said of us that you could understand the text, which doesn't sound like much but it really takes a lot of work. And in the parking lot after Sunday's matinee performance, an older lady from the audience told me it was the most spectacular thing she had heard us sing since...what was that piece we did last year? I suggested Haydn's Creation, but she said no; I suggested Fidelio, but she said no; I grudgingly suggested Carmina Burana, and she said: "That's it! That was just wonderful!"

Transitioning back to your natural hair texture is about the entire journey, not just the destination. If you are struggling to maintain your natural tresses and thinking of throwing in the towel, let us help you through the trying times.
Afro hair grows at a rate of around ½ an inch a month and if you factor in elements such as damage caused by external factors—combing, brushing, using hot styling tools — the average growth might be slightly less. The problem is we are bombarded online with images and testimonials from women who have experienced exponential growth within a short period time which creates unrealistic expectations. It's important to note that although we have some commonalities in terms of our curly hair structure, every individual has their own unique imprint, and growth will vary from person to person. To maximise hair growth, eat a wholesome diet that includes biotin-rich foods such as fish, eggs and nuts. Also, ensure that you wash your hair at least once every fortnight and stay on top of your trims. If you are ticking all these boxes, your hair will grow steadily and healthily in due course. If you want to help speed up the process you can opt for vitamin tablets or a liquid supplement.
Comparing your hair texture to your friend, co-worker or favourite natural hair blogger is a sure fire road to disappointment, and worse still, shows disregard for your own unique crowning glory. Ironically, the natural hair movement began as a space for black women to celebrate and revel in the beauty of our hair the way that God created it. Coveting the hair of another, while totally understandable in the era of #hairgoals, is a futile act. By all means gain hairstyle inspiration from online gurus, but don't get caught up in the thief of joy known as the comparison game.
Being self-confessed product junkies ourselves, it's not hard to see why many succumb to the belief that you have to continually swap and change products until you discover the golden elixir that will transform locks into billowing strands of silk. In reality, keeping your hair regime basic and fuss-free will stand you in better stead. Learn about the ingredients that are conducive to healthy hair growth, you can even make your own products by concocting your own natural oils and potions to save money. Take the time to get to know your hair. If it's susceptible to dryness, or perhaps has low porosity, you will need to buy apply products accordingly. Rather than purchase the latest 'must-have', visit hair shows and try samples before committing to full sized bottles. When you discover what works for your hair you'll be surprised to see how streamlined and pared down your bathroom counter will look.
Natural hair has different needs to chemically processed hair. While relaxed hair requires more in terms of professional upkeep: re-touches, regular trims, restorative treatments, natural hair on the other hand needs a lot more TLC on a daily basis. Detangling your hair, braiding it up at night to keep it protected, spending copious hours washing and conditioning it—these can be quite laborious tasks. But the upside is a full, bouncy, healthy mane, and surely, you wouldn't trade that? If you're finding it too tiresome, you can always take a break by wearing a protective style for awhile or doing a silk press so you won't have to detangle and braid up every night. Just remember, hair is not supposed to be stressful. Enjoy the journey and before you know it you'll arrive at your destination.

It's a chicken momo recipe. Though it's a Chinese recipe nowadays it's a very popular dish all over the world. Even in India, it's a very well known dish. And you can easily get this soo popular dumpling in five-star resturants to street vendor shops. Both versions of the dish like veg and non-veg are very famous in India and more or less every Indian familiar with its delicious taste and interesting looks. The shapes of the momo dumplings are so unique. Though all we know Chinese dumplings can cook in many shapes but the momo has its own typical shapes.

Maybe those are not so popular like chines dumplings but those are equally tasty and so healthy.
Chicken Momo Recipe Easy to make Healthy Chicken Dumplings Recipe Is The The MoMo dish is Unhealthy?
I read many articles and find many people are blaming Momos as an unhealthy dish. But there are two Sides of the same dish. You have to understand it first then only you can decide whether it is an unhealthy or a healthy recipe. The first side is if you make a Momo dish at your home only then obviously it will be a quality food and no DOUGHT it will be the healthiest dish.
BUT if you buy the same dish from a street vendor or local resturants then obviously the ingredients inside it may be poor if you don't know how it's made. Maybe it can be too tasty than what you make at home but the ingredients will be less healthy than what you use in it at home very sure. So The conclusion is simple; you only have to make it at home if you are health conscious and want to eat only healthy food.
Can This Chicken Momo Recipe make with wheat flour?
Typically or traditionally momos can be made only with white refines flour only. But if you want a bit more healthy version of momos then you can easily make this yummy snack with wheat flour. The taste will be more or less same. Many times I make this with wheat flour and I never realize any taste difference. Even you can make it healthier with whole wheat and oats flour mix. Make dumplings dough with an equal portion of oats flour and wheat flour and make momos out of it. I am sure you will try it. Taste wise there is no difference but health wise great and get 100 % of goodness from the dish.

This is my ultimate spicy momo chutney recipe or dipping sauce recipe which I learned from my Nepali friend. Actually, I never called the sauce is just a simple momo dipping sauce. I named it "DEADLY SAUCE'. You won't believe how hot it is. If you are a true spicy food lover or you like spicy dipping sauces just try it. I saw many times Nepalese are fond of spicy foods. Generally, they make non-spicy foods when they are selling it. But usually that same food they make at their home in a very spicy version.
I love Nepali food so much. They can make any veg or non-veg ingredient so tasty. Maximum time they eat veg foods only. Because they live in mountain areas and chicken or meat is costly there due to the transportation problem. They grow their own veggies in their backyard and make delicious dishes out of those. As they eat vegetables most of the time so they make spicy chutney sauces or pickle kind of things with their every meal to make their every meal interesting to eat. This momo chutney/dipping sauce is one of them.
It's true that they not only have this sauce or chutney with momo's only, even they eat this with their favourite noodle soup 'THUKPA'.Thukpa is a traditional Nepali noodle dish with great taste and healthy. It tastes more good in the winter season. A bowl of hot thukpa will make your day I am sure. Another day I will share an authentic thukpa recipe which I got from my friend's mom.
IS NEPALI MOMO CHUTNEY RECIPE AND TIBETAN MOMO CHUTNEY BOTH ARE THE SAME RECIPE?
No, Both are completely different recipes. Tibetian chutney is not spicy like Nepali chutneys. It's a bit sweet and sour sauce. And Nepali sources are most of the time looks blood red in colour and super spicy and hot. Tibetian chutney looks pale orange in colour as they use orange sweet mountain chillies to make their chutney. And they use sugar in their chutneys which Nepalis never do with their chutney dishes. I saw many bloggers write in their Tibetian momo chutney recipe that they use galangal or Thai ginger in their momo chutney dipping sauce. It's wrong, they never use galangal or Thai ginger in there any dishes even in chutneys because galangal is not grown in the mountain region of Tibet.
Tibetans eat very simple food. In northern Nepal and Bhutan where many Tibetans live and If you go to their village you can see in every resturants there, they are using simple ingredients and non-spicy foods. And most are veg dishes. I never found GALANGAL there. They use lemongrass sometimes but galangal never. I asked many vegetable vendors about it but they even never see galangal before and they don't eat this. It's true information which I collected personally. I would recommend everyone to visit that place if you can and I am sure the beautiful natural view and delicious simply cooked food will inspire you to know more about that place.

If anyone asks me to describe the Thai Green Curry Chicken Recipe, I would say it's a simple, easy, healthy and at the same time super tasty delicious chicken curry dish. Recommended to everyone must try this delicious chicken curry dish at least once in their lifetime. I am sure no one will disappoint by its unique flavour and taste. I read many times in many food blogs, they described the recipe as the hottest dish.
But I think it's wrong as we always can minimize or increase the hotness of a dish by our own creation. Means if we try to make it less spicy then surely we can no doubt. Many of us have kids in our house so we always try to make food which we all can eat together and comfortable for everyone. I also have a kid, for the reason, I made it mild in flavour and less spicy or hot.
Thai Green Curry Chicken Recipe Easy less spicy Thai Chicken Dish Is the changes in its hotness standards will change Thai Green Curry Chicken Recipe tastes?
Absolutely No.the taste and flavour will be the same like what we can get in a Thai restaurant. But the dish will be more subtle and mild if you make this dish in my way step by step. I never compromise with the taste of any dish. Always I try to taste any recipe first. If I become satisfied completely then only I publish that on my blog. So you should not worry about its taste. And even I made the recipe in an inexpensive way. I made my own green curry paste to make the flavour more authentic and to make the dish more budget friendly.
Most of the time we all try to make the international recipes but we skip to make it always when we saw the cost of the recipe ingredients. Especially the sauces or curry paste/powder of any dish. Believe me, the same thing used to happened to me too. But the ingredient cost never discourage me to cook International food. Even I find out a middle way which is I make sauces, curry paste or curry powder at my home. This homemade sauces and curry powder/pastes may not look same as the bottled commercial product one. But you will get the 100% of taste, flavour and goodness of the natural spices and I can assure you these are inexpensive than the bottled one.
How you can make a Thai Green Curry chicken without Coconut Milk?
Authentically Thai green curry chicken only made with coconut milk. But if you don't like coconut milk to use in it, you can simply use almond milk to it. But my recommendation is never to use soy milk to the green curry. Almond milk is just fine to use in it. Even I used it and that was taste similar to the original.

Chicken Adobo Recipe is the easiest chicken dish I have ever made. You can't believe how much it is easy to make. As the recipe is so easy to make I would recommend it to those who are just have started to cook or a bachelor and always lazy to cook good and tasty food. If you have a friend or family member like this must suggest this recipe. I am sure if he/she cooks this recipe, will fall in love to cook food and will enjoy it too. This recipe belongs to the Philippines. The flavours of the dish are so good and intense, and much better with steamed rice only.
What is the Filipino chicken adobo recipe?
Chicken adobo is a sweet and sour flavour vinegared chicken dish. Usually, the colour of the dish is dark brown. And anyone can identify the dish by its looks and salty vinegary sauce. It is one of the most popular chicken dishes in the Philippines. The most and unique part of the dish is the dry bay leaves used with soy sauce in the dish. I never tried this kind of recipe before. The combination of two different strong flavoured ingredients in one dish is making the dish different from other chicken dishes.
Is the sauce should be thick in Filipino Chicken Adobo dish?
Yes, The sauce of the dish should be a little thicker than other or regular chicken dishes. I find to make the sauce thick is quite difficult. Because the Ingredients used in the dish either as the sauce or in liquid form only. So I made the sauce with a trick which is very easy. In Chinese recipe, they usually thick their curry sauces with help of cornstarch. I applied the same method here and got a very good texture of Chicken adobo sauce. My suggestion is if you are struggling with the same with your "CHICKEN ADOBO RECIPE" sauce must use this trick. And I hope the trick will be same helpful as it did with me.

Bengali fried rice recipe is a simple easy Indan vegetable pulao recipe. But it is more flavourful than other Indian veg pulao dish I ever had. This recipe is so special to me because it is my Sunday lunch for a long time. When I was a kid my mom used to make this dish on weekends for us and it's healthy too. Now I am making the same recipe for my kid now. It's a recipe which any baby can like for its sweet taste. Yes, This recipe is a little sweet than other rice dishes. My mom used sugar in the dish as same I am doing.
Bengali Fried Rice Recipe Very Easy Indian Veg Pulao Rice Recipe Is Bengali fried rice recipe and Chinese fried recipe both are same?
NO. Both dishes are different from each other. In the Chinese fried rice, they fried the rice with chopped garlic, scallions, and with chopped vegetables and as spice they use black pepper, soy sauce and salt only. Chinese fried rice is a little salty. And the bengali fried rice or an indian veg pulao is little sweeter in taste and bengali never use garlic, scallion or any spices except ground cardamom and sugar and dry bay leaves in this recipe. The spice combination with rice in Bengali fried rice dish makes it so different in taste from other fried rice dishes. I tried many fried rice dishes belongs to many countries but this fried rice dish is unique in taste and no one competes for its taste. I love it's taste so much.
What kind of rice is perfect for this recipe?
"ATAP CHAL" is the perfect rice for Bengali fried rice dish. Here in Mumbai Atap chal or Atap rice is hard to find. So I replaced it with Basmati rice. Basmati rice is also an Atap chal/Atap rice which many Indians don't know. The flavour of Bengali 'Atap Chal' is more fragrant than any other Basmati rice. If you find atap chal nearby any store to you must try it for this sweet rice pulao dish.

You may have chilli chicken dish at any Chinese restaurant at least once in your life. It is the most popular and common dish in more or less all Chinese restaurants. irrespective of the fact that the restaurant is popular or not. And I noticed that this recipe tastes so different in every restaurant, thus difficult to understand which one is authentic. Hence I am also not going to prove that my chilli chicken recipe is an authentic one. But it's an Easy chilli Chicken Recipe and you can cook it in less than 30 minutes, I am sure.
When one of my friend first time told me the recipe in details I thought it does not sound like a tasty recipe. Because she didn't tell me to use any spice in this recipe except to use Two sauces, That's it. She told me that she learnt this from her uncle who is a chief in a very popular Chinese restaurant in Kolkata. And her uncle's ancestors belong to China. But now they are living in an area named "China town" Kolkata.
I don't know how much authenticity this recipe is carrying!!! But It belongs to a Chinese family. I thought It might be an authentic recipe. Therefore I should try this. You would not believe when I cooked and taste it the first time, OMG it just tastes awesome and not like the regular Chinese one which we generally get in the Chinese restaurants. I tried the dish in many Chinese restaurants but never tried this kind of tasty chilli chicken dish.IT'S NOT SPICY NOT SOUR AND NOT SO OILY. IT'S JUST A PERFECT RECIPE LOOKS GOOD AND TASTES GREAT. Even I can say it tastes a way better than what we get from the famous Chinese restaurant's.
Can we use White flour or maida instead of corn flour in This Easy chilli chicken Recipe?
I personally never suggest anyone use self-rising flour(maida) to coating a chicken. It will make the chicken like soggy fritters, heavy and will never taste good after cooking. I always use cornstarch or potato starch to coat the chicken for frying for Chinese dishes. Maximum time I actually even never deep fry my chicken pieces which usually people do. I try to air-fry my chicken pieces in a preheated air frier for 10 minutes (160 Degree)after coating in a mixture of cornstarch and egg yolk. I never add salt to my chicken pieces when I airfry instead add some black pepper to it. Because if you add salt to the chicken when you are frying, the chicken will be dry and would not be soft and tender after cooking. So always use cornstarch or potato starch for your chilli chicken for frying as well as for thickening the sauce.
Can you use an oyster sauce in chilli chicken?
I would suggest always use Oyster sauce and lite soy sauce in your chilli chicken dish. Even I would say must use oyster sauce in your chilli chicken recipe. My friend's uncle told her that Chinese always use oyster sauce and lite soy source in their chicken chilli dish. But I saw many restaurants in India and even outside India use dark soy sauce. Which is not a correct ingredient for a chilli chicken recipe.
If you use dark soy sauce your chilli chicken dish will be dark brown or very dark in colour after cooking. A perfect chilli chicken or chicken chilli colour must be lite brown in colour. And you should use oyster sauce not only for its colour but the oyster sauce has a very unique taste which creates magic when you use it with lite soy sauce. It will make the dish more delicious. If you do not believe me, try it and then you will understand yourself that it's true.
How can I make chilli chicken gravy?
Chilli chicken gravy or sauce should not be too thick or too watery. It should be tomato ketchup like texture. To make this at first you make the dish, then before the finish, add some cornstarch with water to thicken the sauce within a few seconds. But one thing always remembers that never pour cornstarch water on the chicken when it has no water in it.
If you do it then the sauce will be stick at the bottom of the pan or will likely coat the chicken and you will not get a restaurant-style chilli chicken dish. If you want a perfect chilli chicken gravy or sauce just like you get in the restaurants add cornstarch water in the pan when you can see at least 1 cup chicken watery soup or stock already have in the pan. After adding the cornstarch mix well and then you will see a perfect gravy texture just like Chinese restaurant style chilli chicken.

When I went to yeshiva, the worst thing that ever happened to anybody was when a boy was called and told that he had to come home and deal with a parent who had just passed on. To me, the thought of sitting on an airplane by yourself going home to such a loss was such an unbearable thought. The inability to say goodbye and the lack of closure even today is an unbearable thought.
This week a student who we have known for five years had to come home to an almost similar situation. His mom has been hospitalized for the past few months while the son has been serving in the Israeli army. The father told him on Friday that the situation is deteriorating and that he should take the first flight home after Shabbos. He took the first flight and unfortunately, his mom passed away Shabbos afternoon at 6:45 Los Angeles time, while the boy was air bound. He would be returning for the funeral in Eretz Yisroel the next day. I get the chills just thinking about it.
There is no answer to why, but we can be supportive and let him know that he is not alone. The question is always how do we continue during challenging times and how do we teach our children to handle life on life's terms. I think a possible answer is teaching resilience. We live in a world where we like to cushion our children and provide everything for them in both a physical and emotional way, and Baruch Hashem for the most part we are able to. Often providing more than what we grew up with. We often try to shelter our children from knowing about the struggles and challenges of others. I worked for many years in a high school and spent many hours with parents calling me to change or fix the kids' grades. Of course, we want the best for them but are we teaching them to survive when the going gets tough.
Resilient children are hopeful and possess high self worth. They feel special and appreciated. They have learned to set realistic goals and expectations. They have developed the ability to solve problems and make decisions, and thus are more likely to view mistakes, hardships and obstacles as challenges to confront – rather than as stressors to avoid. Resilient children are aware of their weaknesses and vulnerabilities but they also recognize their strong point and talents. They have developed effective interpersonal skills with peers and adults and are able to seek out assistance and nurturance in appropriate ways.
• Communicating effectively and listening actively.
• Loving our children in ways that help them feel special and appreciated.
• Accepting our children for who they are and helping them set realistic expectations and goals.
• Helping children recognize that mistakes are experiences from which to learn.
• Developing responsibility, compassion and a social conscience, by providing children with opportunities to contribute.
• Teaching our children to solve problems and make decisions.
• Discipline in a way that promotes self-discipline and self-worth.

Canton Charge's second win of the weekend evens them up for season
It was a fast moving physical game and a good win as the Canton Charge, presented by SecureData 365 and powered by the Cleveland Cavaliers simply overpowered the Maine Red Claws throughout the contest for a 99-88 victory during an early start Sunday Evening contest. The win puts Canton 3-3 and 2-2 at home.
As early as 4:06 in the first quarter the Charge took the lead and never looked back leading by as much as 12 in the first half claiming 29 rebounds plus 20 trips to the free throw line. Leading the scoring for the Charge was Cavaliers assignment Alex Kirk whose 6-9 was good for 12 points as Canton led 51-39 at the half.
As the game moved into the third and fourth quarter Canton would allow Maine to cut the lead down to a single possession only to slam the door in their face and run up the score to double digits again. Over all Canton finished out-rebounding the Red Claws 50-36 while hitting 50% of their attempts or 36-of-72 (50%).
Throughout the contest there were fast breaks, high speed passes, and exciting shots from all angles of the basket making for a spirited contest that was enjoyed by the fans. Three extra jump balls had to be called for due to the excessive grappling for the ball under the net. This was the pure science of basketball.
Arinze Onuaku posted his second double in as many games with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 16 rebounds, and four assists in 37 minutes. Kirk finished with 16 points on 7-of-13 shooting and six boards in 30 minutes. Justin Johnson came off the bench to provide clutch, run-stopping buckets en route to a team-high 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Stephen Holt added 17 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes for Canton.
Jermaine Taylor paced Maine with his game-high 22 points on 8-of-18 shooting, seven rebounds, and four assists in 34 minutes. Tim Frazier supplied the Red Claws with 14 points, eight rebounds, and four steals in 38 minutes. Omari Johnson netted 14 points with six boards in 20 minutes off the bench, while Christian Watford added 18 points in 30 minutes for the visitors.
The Charge are back at the Canton Memorial Civic Center on Saturday, December 6th at 7:00 p.m. against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants for Glow in the Dark Night, where fans in attendance will receive a special neon Charge logo glow in the dark t-shirt!

Unravelling: Am I Weaving Professionally?
Lovely Win Currie asked me the last time I was in Marlborough if I am now weaving "professionally." Yes, in as much as one beautiful gallery has my stuff and occasionally some of the pieces sell, and that's my only income. That, and some commission work. But to say I am weaving "professionally" is an exaggeration.
What I don't understand is, I do love every single process involved in weaving, (except winding the warp onto the back beam.) I revel in the simplicity of each task, and the repetitive physicality. As soon as I start one or another of the process, my body remembers it, and I'm on almost-auto-pilot. So why do I avoid work so often?
I'm beginning to see I will never be a prodigious weaver, or a prodigious anything, but will forever be distracted by lots of things, blogging included. I still find the required transition between the word world and the design world difficult, and I have to move between the two deliberately. Sometimes I just need to shut up and stop reading words and go to my stash room. But sometimes, lately, it happens without my intending to, and I find myself in the other place, like Scotty beamed me up or down or sideways without my asking.
Years ago, I saw a documentary in which a young Russian woman said in Russia, before you go somewhere, you sit down on a chair by your door and relax just for a minute before you leave. I want a mental chair so I can travel back and forth at will.

To all you knuckleheads supporting the legalization of marijuana: Just because other drugs are legal doesn't mean we should add more drugs to the party, pushing the state's drug addiction problem on a more rapid downward spiral that it is on now.
Most of us have either seen or know someone who has smoked or even smoked marijuana ourselves, usually in a recreational setting. What else is common about the drug, locally and statewide, is its illegal status. But this has not discouraged some people from partaking of the drug and the consequences for this legal disregard is socially and economically catastrophic.
All this recent talk helped form my opinion that marijuana should not be legalized, doing so will lead to increased addiction, social evils like crime and additional burdens to our already burdened health care system through treatment of addiction and drug-induced accidents.
Though some say that marijuana is not as harmful as alcohol and should be legalized, does that mean we should push our state further down the downward spiral it is in? No.
The legalization of marijuana will make it more accessible to the public (outside of the individuals who need it for medicinal purposes), almost encouraging those who were too afraid to use it illegally, to try it. Making it legal will be the same as saying, it's OK to smoke pot.
Side effects of the drug will be taken less seriously and the statistics of statewide addiction will rise. Looking at the negative side effects that other legalized addictive substances have had on West Virginia families as well as to the lives of the individual, one should understand that allowing another addictive substance to be legalized will be unwise.
Though it is a person's own personal choice to choose to take a drug, it will not only affect the individual but also others around him.
We will have a higher unemployment rate. Who wants to hire an unmotivated sluggard who is that way due to the psychological and physical side effects of a drug? So, no. Marijuana and substances of suit should not be legalized.
There are those who say marijuana is a helpful medicine. They also say it makes you calm down and feel good. They also say that it isn't as dangerous or harmful as alcohol and other drugs. and we need the tax revenue.
Those are some reasons to legalize marijuana. But are they right? No they are not. Marijuana should stay illegal in West Virginia because if it is legalized, more people will smoke it, causing negative effects on health and families.
Once marijuana is legalized then we have the issues of how we control the criminals. I believe that it will just create more issues for law enforcement. They will have to decide who has it legally and who doesn't. This takes time for law enforcement, when they need that time to investigate real crimes.
There are plenty of legal drugs that people can use to control their pain. Use of addictive substances like marijuana should not be legalized because their consumption by our youth poses a threat to society. If our elected government officials decide to legalize marijuana people will want more after they get bored of it. It will lead to the legalization of even more drugs that will cause more harm.
Why take the risk of legalizing marijuana? Increased drug use, negative health effects and negative effects on families are all the outcomes of legalizing marijuana. So think about this: Will it put a negative effect on your family? Will it increase drug use by people? Will it effect teens and their ability to learn? Will it increase your risk of cancer? Yes, it will.

Phil, the Gorilla from the St. Louis Zoo passed and was one of Arts patients, in order to determine the cause of death. This was such an honor for Art as he spent much of his childhood at the Zoo visiting Phil. While attending college, Art met Carol Ann Thieret from Perryville, Missouri.
Carol Thieret was living and working in St. Louis during that time. They were introduced by mutual friends while on a blind date. Following a courtship, Art and Carol were married June 4, 1960 in Sereno, Missouri and moved to Florida. Art's wife Carol had been diagnosed with Renal failure. During this time, Art & Carol had 1 child named Teresita (Tera) who was borne premature due to her failing kidneys.
Art was hired in 1961 by the West Florida Arthropod Research Laboratory, Florida State Board of Health, in Vero Beach, Florida. He and Carlisle B Rathburn, Jr. developed and published a photo micrographic method for the measurement of air-borne droplets. This camera could also be used for accurate size determination of dust particles, droplets in sprays, emulsions, inhalants, natural fogs, clouds, aerosol bombs and photographing insects and other small objects.
They returned to Missouri so they could seek better healthcare options for his wife. Art was employed by General Electric as a major appliance salesman. Carol underwent an experimental surgery called a Kidney Transplant. During this time Art enjoyed spending time with family, singing opera and painting.
In 1973, Art, Carol and Tera moved to Sedgewickville, Missouri just outside Perryville.
They bought 132 acres and lived on a farm. They had horses, goats, chickens, and cattle. Art's passion for beauty and nature encouraged him to plant a two-acre field of wild flowers which was breath taking. Art worked for the original owners of Buchheits country store. Later became co-owner of Thieret Sales & Service in Perryville, MO.
In the late 1970's Art created "Ozark Landscaping Products, Company" with brother-in-law Denny and their spouses. They built their business by packaging landscaping products and sold to 10 states including Walmart, Central Hardware, K-Mart, Nurseries, etc.
In 1982 Tera was married and had a daughter named Jessica and later divorced. Many years later Ozark Products was sold and the family moved back to St. Louis, Missouri. Daughter, Tera met and married Randy Torralba in 1988. Art's hobby was painting, photography of nature and spending time with his grand-daughter Jessica.
In the 90's Tera's husband Randy was in the US Navy and moved every three years through out the continental US. This gave Art and Carol the opportunity of traveling to each location to visit. Randy and Tera had a son named Rhett in 1991. Carol's kidney was failing which required another transplant. She was blessed with a perfect match from her brother Kevin for her second transplant.
Art and Carol along with Art's nephew Steve developed a company called Cara-Tera (named after Carol and Tera). They sold to the public landscaping supplies and a huge variety of concrete statuary in Town & Country. Art and Steve did a large variety of landscaping jobs. Their work included landscaping beds, pathways, huge retaining walls, gabion walls, and magnificent fountains made out of natural stone which are still there today to enjoy. Eventually Art and Carol sold their business to Steve Miserocchi and retired.
In 2000 Tera and Randy retired from the military and moved back to St. Louis. They raised their children within 3 miles of Art and Carol. By 2010 the grandchildren were grown, got married and had children of their own. Both Art and Carol enjoy spending time with their daughter Tera, son-in-law Randy, grand and great grand children. Jessica and her husband Josh have two children Caleb and Destiny. Rhett has one child named Bruce. Art and Carol are enjoying life and currently live in High Ridge, Missouri. Art continues to paint, take pictures of nature and has added custom canes to his hobbies. He loves walking or just sitting quiet in the woods at night enjoying and listening to nature.
Blessed by so many gifts and adventures from life, with cherished family, reflects on his favorite quote by William Shakespeare:
"Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
Teresita M Torralba

AT&T investment in Alabama approaches $1.4 billion over three years
More stories in Innovation
MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Alabama Secretary of Commerce Greg Canfield congratulated AT&T here today as the company announced a nearly $1.4 billion investment in its Alabama wireless and wireline networks from 2010 through 2012.
"More and more as we recruit new business and industry to Alabama, wireless connectivity is a major factor," Canfield said. "AT&T's $1.4 billion investment over the past three years is a significant investment in the state, and I am happy that they are committed to continuing to invest across Alabama. I am also proud to announce they are hiring more than 350 employees in Alabama."
High speed Internet is essential for economic growth, job creation, and global competitiveness for companies in both urban and rural areas.
Today in Montgomery, the company announced plans to conduct a statewide tour to highlight how that investment will impact rural and urban areas all across Alabama. This year so far LTE has been added to more than 350 sites.
This investment also means that AT&T is hiring in Alabama. Currently there are over 350 jobs available in all areas of the state. These jobs range from retail store employees to outside wire technicians. More information on job openings can be found at att.jobs.
"While we are proud of our past investment, I am even more excited about our plans moving forward," said Fred McCallum, president of AT&T Alabama. "With our recently announced Project VIP, Alabama consumers stand to benefit from expanded wireless and wire line broadband. Our elected officials are to be commended for creating an atmosphere that allows this kind of investment to take place."
The recently launched Project Velocity IP (VIP) is a three-year investment initiative to expand and enhance AT&T's wireless and wired IP broadband networks. As part of Project VIP, AT&T plans to increase the density of its wireless network by deploying more than 10,000 macro sites and more than 40,000 small cells. Through this initiative, the company also plans to:
Expand 4G LTE to cover more than 300 million people by year-end 2014
Expand the AT&T wired IP broadband network to cover approximately 75 percent of customer locations in our wired service area by year-end 2015
Expand the AT&T fiber network to reach 1 million additional business locations by year-end 2015. AT&T Alabama regional announcements will be made across Alabama as new broadband investments come online.
Events will be held in The Shoals, Huntsville, Birmingham, Mobile, and rural areas such as Jackson and Brewton.

OHAI! We've taken over your fields; now you have to kill us!
Prairie dogs are pests who eff up the land and breed prolifically. When there's an overpopulation, landowners GAS them. Awesome, we could be rodents!
In all seriousness, if you win the tickets, e-mail me. I'll help you find a good home for them!
