~ Lemon-Dressed Arugula, Watermelon & Feta Salad ~
Watermelon salad in October? You betcha. It's been unseasonably warm here in the Northeast, with unusually mild-to-hot Summer temperatures lasting into our four-seasoned Fall. While most (but not all) of our garden has indeed met its end-for-this-year (Summer basil, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc.), the extra growing time has rendered it a stellar year for watermelon, which, in honesty, doesn't do well when the the days grow short and the temperatures go low. Twenty-plus years ago, watermelon salad was trendy everywhere. One of my favorite versions was served in a now defunct high-end French restaurant right here in Happy Valley: The......

~ The Perfectly-Seasoned 16-Minute Broiled Burger ~
On busy weeknights, or when I'm just plain pressed for time, popping a flank steak, a couple of pork blade steaks, or a few burgers under the broiler frees up my hands and some time to set the table, toss a salad or fix a side-dish and collect a couple of condiments. In exactly 18-, 22- or 16-minutes respectively (17 minutes if we want cheeseburgers), dinner is on its way to the table. To those who contend that broiling is not the ideal method for cooking any of the above, I say "poppycock". Position the oven rack 5 1/2"-6" underneath......

~ My Copycat Primanti Brothers Secret Slaw Recipe ~
On occasion I go to Pittsburgh. Just like every city there's plenty of sights to see, entertainment to be had, and, of course, lots of food. While Pittsburgh offers its share of show-offy fine-dining experiences, The Steel City, in my opinion, is known more for its blue collar, working man's fare. One of the most well-known, and most popular examples is Primanti Brothers -- trendsetters in sandwich making since 1933. When in Pittsburgh, you'll also notice that eating "alla Primanti's", "in-the-style Primanti's" (huge, overstuffed sandwiches topped with slaw and fries) surrounds you. Primani's 'slaw is vinegar-based and basic. Seriously folks....... View full recipe for "~ My Copycat Primanti Brothers Secret Slaw Recipe ~"
~Lighten Up w/a Refreshing Tuna-Mac Garden Salad~
Occasionally, on a day off or a Saturday, my dad would fix his version of tuna salad for us. On mom's medium-sized meat platter, he'd make a bed of soft garden lettuce leaves, then add a layer of tomato slices followed by a sliced cucumber. He'd scatter a lightly-drained can of chilled tuna-packed-in-oil over the veggies, followed by a few dollops of cottage cheese. His creation ended with a sprinkling of salt and black pepper. Mom would make some rye toast, put a pitcher of iced tea on the table and lunch was served. It wasn't fancy, but our family......

~Tuna Salad w/Cottage Cheese, Tomato & Cucumber~
I picked a cucumber this morning. I walked to the the other side of the vegetable garden and picked a couple of tomatoes too. Checking out the vegetable garden in the early hours of the day, as soon as it's light enough to see, is part of my routine. My dad used to do the same thing. He'd come in the house, rinse off whatever he'd picked, put all the "stuff" in the dish drainer, then go out to mow the grass. Dad thrived on his routines, and, sans the lawn mower, so do I. While carrying my cucumber and...... View full recipe for "~Tuna Salad w/Cottage Cheese, Tomato & Cucumber~"
~Sweet, Savory & Slightly-Spicy Curried Potato Salad~
For most of us, potato salad conjures up memories of exactly what our grandmothers made. And, for the most part, in terms of ingredients, the recipes for our grandmothers potato salad do not vary much. Various quantities of the usual suspects: potatoes, eggs, celery and/or onion, with a dressing made of mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper, sometimes pickles or pickle relish, and, an occasional fresh herb. Voila: potato salad. While we all have our favorite recipe or recipes, when offered potato salad at a gathering, this is the kind we Americans expect to be served. From my Eastern European heritage, in...... View full recipe for "~Sweet, Savory & Slightly-Spicy Curried Potato Salad~"
~ A Simply-Scrumptious Summer Strawberry Cobbler ~
Fresh strawberry cobbler with home-churned strawberry ice cream, made the old-fashioned way, is going on our picnic table tonight. A few years ago that I realized strawberries make superb cobbler. I experimented on a whim and it turned out great. It was so successful, I tried this same recipe, substituting pineapple for strawberries that same Summer, meaning: I gained cobbler confidence. I don't know why it surprised me, strawberries contain a lot of citric acid, so, their own natural flavor makes them perfect for the relatively-fast turn-around in the oven required for a traditional cobbler. The moral of the story...... View full recipe for "~ A Simply-Scrumptious Summer Strawberry Cobbler ~"
~Greek-Style Chopped-Salad w/Red Wine Vinaigrette~
When tomatoes and cucumbers are ripe for the picking, small side-salads accompany our dinner almost every evening. Our seasonal herbs du jour always determine what cuisine-style I'll lean toward -- dill for Eastern European, basil for Italian, thyme for French, cilantro for Tex-Mex, and, oregano for Greek. Once that's decided, the cuisine-appropriate embellishments easily fall into place. It's a pretty straightforward process, but, no matter what I decide, my all-purpose super-easy-to-make red wine vinaigrette pulls it all together -- you'll rarely find my refrigerator without it. This refreshing relish-esque salad, goes great with grilled chicken, any type of steak, pork...... View full recipe for "~Greek-Style Chopped-Salad w/Red Wine Vinaigrette~"
~Grilled Shrimp and Asparagus Cocktail w/Lemon Dip~
How much would you pay for this in an upscale restaurant? About $8.00 as an appetizer? Perhaps $12.00 as a lunch entrée? Both sound fare to me, but, truth told, this small plate of happiness is so good I'd happily pay more. 'Tis true, rake my shrimp cocktail over some hot coals and I'll follow you anywhere -- and pay a tidy sum for it too. Add a few slices of grilled bread, uncork a bottle of white wine, and invite a few guests to join you too -- it's that impressive. For the pucker-up lemon sauce for seafood or......

~ Amazingly-Lemony and Perfectly-Grilled Asparagus ~
Asparagus, served hot off the grill grids, drizzled with a bit of lemon-infused EVOO and white balsamic vinaigrette, is one of my favorite Summer side-dishes. Name it -- grilled steak, chicken or seafood, it plays well with them all. Interestingly, I sometimes serve it as an hors d'oeuvre too -- it pairs perfectly with melon wrapped in prosciutto. There's just something downright delightful about picking up a medium-to-fat, crunch-tender asparagus spear in my fingertips, politely swishing it a pucker-up, creamy, lemon sauce and savoring the lightly-charred flavor. Just eat. It's too simple for words, hence this short post. Grilling asparagus...... View full recipe for "~ Amazingly-Lemony and Perfectly-Grilled Asparagus ~"
~ Asparagus Salad with Lemon-Balsamic Vinaigrette ~
A salad without lettuce? There's no law against it, and, in the case of this salad, lettuce is just in the way. The combination of tender blanched asparagus, a few halved cherry or grape tomatoes, and, small, creamy, fresh mozzarella balls drizzled with a lemon-balsamic vinaigrette is to-die-for. The only item I do add to it on occasion is: a handful of crunchy croutons. Nothing more, nothing less. No other embellishments need apply. The dressing, loaded with lemon flavor and laced with subtle herbs de Provence, is the star of this salad show, so, don't stray from this flavor profile.......

~ The Retro & Original Wish-Bone Italian Pasta Salad ~
Wish-Bone Italian dressing. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. To name a few: drizzled on my garden salad or slathered on my turkey sandwich, as a dip for my vegetables, as a marinade for my chicken, and, as the dressing for the original Wish-Bone Italian pasta salad recipe. Growing up, right next to the bright- red Kraft Catalina Dressing and the creamy-white Hellmann's mayonnaise stood the Wish-Bone. All were condiment staples in my mom's 1960's and 70's refrigerator, and today, all remain staples in my own refrigerator -- although I now prefer Wish-Bone's Light-Italian version. Want......

~Three Great Tips for Making the Perfect Pasta Salad~
My mom always made pasta salad for Memorial Day. It was classic 1960's, Wish-Bone-Style -- rotini pasta with some cubed salami, pepperoni and American cheese, sliced black olives, diced onion and tomato dressed with store-bought Italian dressing. It wasn't gourmet, it wasn't even particularly exciting to look at, but, because it was prepared correctly, it was remarkably delicious. Our Memorial Day picnic, at our reserved picnic table, at Lakewood Park in Barnesville, PA, would have been incomplete without the pasta salad. Mom's Spring green Tupperware container went in and came out of the cooler several times throughout the day while...... View full recipe for "~Three Great Tips for Making the Perfect Pasta Salad~"
~ Greek Pasta Salad w/Tapenade, Tuna and Tomato ~
Americans cherish the Summer. The deck chairs come out, the cooler fills with ice, the shorts go on, everyone slides into their flip-flops, and then, spends as much time in the fresh air and sunshine as possible. Some play sports while others garden, some like to swim while others prefer to sun bathe, but, each and every one loves to eat -- and a forkful of food simply tastes better in the great outdoors. Here in the Northeast, the land of four seasons, Summer has finally arrived and I'm kicking it off with a refreshing, main-dish pasta salad that is......

~ Briny, Garlicy & Herbaceous Greek-Olive Tapenade ~
My pantry and/or refrigerator are never without a can or two of inexpensive, mild-flavored ripe, black olives and a big jar of tangy green pimiento-stuffed olives too. Throughout the year, I toss either one or both, whole into garden salads, or, slice and use them to top an occasional pizza. That said, at the end of a long Summer's day, there is nothing like a well-chilled cocktail out on the deck with a salty snack to nibble on. A cracker or two with a slather of soft brie or chèvre topped with a dollop of tapenade is a favorite, but,...... View full recipe for "~ Briny, Garlicy & Herbaceous Greek-Olive Tapenade ~"
~ The Classic Italian Endicott-Style Spiedie Marinade ~
The hamlet of Endwell, the village of Endicott, and, the city of Binghamton. What do these three places in upstate New York have in common? They each own a piece of the claim to creating a sandwich unique to their area, and, popularizing it to the point to hold an annual three-days-in-August food festival and hot-air balloon rally that attracts over 100,000 people to celebrate. The "Spiedie" comes from the Italian word "spiede", as-in cubes of skewered meat cooked on a "spit". An Italian immigrant, Camillo Lacovelli is said to have introduced the original spiedie to Endwell, NY, in the...... View full recipe for "~ The Classic Italian Endicott-Style Spiedie Marinade ~"
~ The Classic Italian Endicott-Style Spiedie Sandwich ~
Endicott, NY, is off the beaten path for some, which is why the spiedie sandwich just might be the best sandwich a lot of folks never heard of. The odd part is, growing up with parents who pretty much stuck close to their home in Eastern, PA, as a family we actually made it to New York every now and then, and, everyone in our family, including grandma, loved a spiedie sandwich. It was back in the 1960's, and, I was so young, I didn't even know I was eating an official spiedie. My grandmother, my mom's mother, had a......

~ Texican-Style Pork Steak and Bell Pepper Spiedies ~
My grandmother, my mother's mother, had a close friend who lived in Endicott New York (a village just West of Binghamton). For a period of six-eight years, once every Summer, our family of four plus grandma, arranged ourselves in my dad's all-white, 1960 Dodge Dart Seneca and headed North. It was a very long day (we left early in the morning and returned late in the evening), but just before arriving at our destination, we stopped to eat spiedies for lunch (our hostess made us dinner). Our family, including grandma, loved the classic Italian spiedies in Endicott -- Dad and...... View full recipe for "~ Texican-Style Pork Steak and Bell Pepper Spiedies ~"
~Easy Sweet & Spicy Tex-Mex-Style Barbecue Sauce~
Simmer down. I am well aware that authentic Texas-style barbecue requires no sauce, and, its purist fans proclaim perfectly-smoked beef, poultry or pork is so lip-smacking fantastic sauce ruins it. I'm neither here to disagree nor apologize -- I'm just a Yankee gal that likes a special or secret sauce with, or on, almost everything that comes off a grill or out of a smoker. There's more. I have absolutely no idea what might constitute the perfect Tex-Mex-style barbecue sauce, I'm simply here to share my culinary concoction of sweet and savory pleasing-to-me perfection. Specific to no one dish, but...... View full recipe for "~Easy Sweet & Spicy Tex-Mex-Style Barbecue Sauce~"
~Spicy Southwestern-Style Candied Sweet Potatoes~
April showers bring May flowers, tick-tock, and so starts the prime-time grilling season. Across the country, home cooks and grill-masters are already concocting their secret recipes for sweet and savory wet sauces and spice-is-nice dry rubs. Once the chicken and ribs start hitting the grill grids, neighborhoods everywhere will be filled with the ethereal smell of barbecue. Get out the paper plates and napkins, place the side-dishes on the table, pop a beer and pull up a chair. Speaking of side-dishes (notice how I snuck that in), while Northeastern Deutsch-Amish potato-salads, macaroni-salads and coleslaws reign undeniably supreme (as far as......

~ Russian or Thousand Islands Potato Salad or Slaw ~
Tick, tock. The Summer season is fast approaching and once we Americans fire up our outdoor grills, we'll be faced with more reasons than we can count to whip up a big bowl of the family's favorite tried-and-true mayonnaise-based potato and egg salad or creamy-crunchy coleslaw. That said, because one can never have too many variations on potato salad or coleslaw, consider dressing either of them with spicy Russian- or sweet Thousand Islands- dressing. Your preference is your choice -- swap 'em out as you please: For 5 cups Russian or Thousand-Islands-dressed potato salad or coleslaw: 5-6 medium-large Russet potatoes,......

~ Secrets to the Italian-American Sausage Sandwich ~
Whether one is at the ballpark, a carnival, or entering a shopping mall, one can't help but notice the line in front of the vendor selling Italian sausage sandwiches. Hot-off-the-griddle, a succulent link of sweet or hot sausage on a medium-textured Italian roll, heaped with a savory mélange of griddle-sautéed peppers and onions: it's next to impossible to resist. If you've ever eaten one, you've also noticed they taste immensely better than the majority of home-grilled versions. Why is this? Read on, and "don't knock it until you've tried it", so, criticize this post with caution. The best technique for...... View full recipe for "~ Secrets to the Italian-American Sausage Sandwich ~"
~ Herbaceous Caramelized-Onion & Boursin Burgers ~
Eating à la Française, in the the style of the French people, is a remarkable experience. As a person who is 100% willing to throw calories under the bus for outstanding fare, dining in France is literally at the top of my food chain. Speaking of chains, over the past few decades, "le fast food chaînes" have indeed invaded France, but, only to the point of being easier to find without replacing "haute cuisine" (fine dining) or interrupting eating "en famille" (family-style meals). That said, for a culture that loves "pissaladière" (the French answer to pizza) and has long-established ties...... View full recipe for "~ Herbaceous Caramelized-Onion & Boursin Burgers ~"
~Jerk-Style Chicken & Slaw on Coco Bread Sandwich~
Don't worry, be happy -- especially if you've got some leftover Jamaican-style jerk chicken (or pork) on hand. Warm or chilled, removed from the bones and pulled into succulent, bite-sized chucks and pieces, this full-of-Island-style aromatically-flavored poultry (or meat), when piled high on one of their signature freshly-baked and opened, rich-and-flaky coco bread sandwich rolls, is magnifique. A slice of tomato or grilled pineapple and a heap of jerk-slaw takes it over the top. Coco bread is an enriched Jamaican yeast bread that's a cross between a thin sandwich roll and a thick pocket bread. It's said the name comes......

~Crunchy & Creamy Island-Style Jerk-Seasoned Slaw~
Coleslaw -- creamy and crunchy, sweet, savory and nicely-spiced, coleslaw is a make-my-day side-dish and my favorite sloppy-sandwich topper. There's more. By swapping out a few herbs and spices, coleslaw, "the chameleon of side-dishes", any coleslaw recipe can be prepared to complement any cuisine. How convenient is that. I came up with this version to serve with Jamaican-style jerk fare. This simple, lip-smacking recipe has got a bit of coat-your-throat heat. Herein lies the secret to my jerk-seasoned slaw: Leave it to the Jamaicans. I can't think of another exotic-to-me cuisine that does a better job of making my life......

~ Island-Style Bejeweled Coconut & Black Bean Rice ~
In Jamaica, they make a dish called coconut rice and peas -- it's usually served as an accompaniment to Caribbean-style chicken- or shrimp- curry dishes and jerk-seasoned meats. This is sort of not it. This is my twist on it. In Jamaica, beans are called peas, more specifically, pigeon peas -- they're a staple in Indian, African, Latin and Caribbean cooking and are sold canned, dried or fresh. In the Caribbean islands, kidney beans are a common substitution, which is a good, because, up until recently, pigeon peas were not something I could find in my Central PA stores. While......

~Spice-is-Nice Oven-Roasted Jamaican-Jerk Chicken~
Leave it to the Jamaicans. I can't think of another exotic-to-me cuisine that does a better job of making my life easier. I mean, seriously, they've cornered the market on marketing high-quality, bold-flavored dry-spice blends and rubs, wet pastes and marinades, barbecue, steak and hot pepper sauces, etc. -- when it comes to cooking Jamaican fare at home, some of their store-bought time-savers make me ponder why anyone would want to concoct "it" from scratch. That said, time spent in my kitchen is therapy -- it's my "don't worry, be happy" space. It's the game-on place where movies and music......

~Thai-Style Grilled Chicken or Pork Tenderloin Sliders~
In Thailand, unlike here in America, sandwiches are not something one finds sold in shops or on the streets -- bread is not a part of the traditional Thai diet. That said, East met West quite a few decades ago, and, we Americans love sandwiches -- if it can be eaten between two slices of bread, we Americans will figure out a way to do it and make it taste great. To that end, A trip to Thailand will reveal that nowadays, a portion of the Thai population has come to appreciate and incorporate some bread (mostly flatbreads), in some......

~ My Basic Thai Marinade for Grilled Poultry or Pork ~
For those who love Thai food, your search for an all-purpose marinade and method of cooking some chicken or pork, to bring the bold flavors of Thailand to your American dinner tables without consuming too much time, muss or fuss, is over. Fact: When it comes to our food, just when we should slow down, relax and make more time for our family and friends, we Americans always seem to be in a hurry. While "eat and run" is not my style, this is my "go to" marinade, which produces succulent, full-throttle Thai-flavored chicken or pork, relatively quickly. It's perfect......

~A Little Thing Called Gem Lettuce: A Leafy Treasure~
Lettuce is not a subject people get excited about. That said, everyone has a preference, nonchalantly placing their favorite variety in their shopping cart as they saunter through the produce department. In our present day food world, it's understandable to take this humble, fragile and perishable vegetable for granted, but, prior to the 1920's, that was not the case. Americans relied primarily on seasonal leaf lettuces that were grown in their gardens or sold in their local markets for their salads -- salad eating in the colder regions was a seasonal pleasure. Out of season, the cook relied on rugged...... View full recipe for "~A Little Thing Called Gem Lettuce: A Leafy Treasure~"
~Grilled Gem Wedges w/Blue Cheese, Bacon & Filet~
You can teach an old dog new tricks. As a gal, who, for the most part, prefers her vegetables cooked in some manner to enhance their flavor and texture, grilling lettuce was a technique I learned just a few short weeks ago. I haven't a clue why it eluded me for so long, except, in my own defense, I don't remember a chapter entitled The Art of Grilling Lettuce in my foodie manual. Grilling lettuce might not be for everyone. After all, we eat with our eyes, and our eyes have been trained to seek bright green, crisp. lettuce leaves.......

~ Have a Very-Berry Blackberry-Cobbler Kind of Day ~
Here today, gone today. That's the lifespan of blackberries entering my kitchen. I've been told their dark color makes them really good for me -- even more antioxidants than blueberries. Rah-rah-sis-boom-bah, I'd eat them even if they were on on the not-so-good-for-me foods short list. When I buy a box of blackberries, I eat a box of blackberries. When I pick blackberries, they disappear on the walk to my kitchen door. I do not share blackberries -- well, maybe, probably I would, but, I've yet to be tested on this point. That said, because blackberries require no special treatment (peeling,...... View full recipe for "~ Have a Very-Berry Blackberry-Cobbler Kind of Day ~"
~ Happy Valley Spinach Dip for Your Vegetable Tray ~
In the mid-1950's and throughout the '60's, everybody who entertained was serving French onion dip with their celery and carrot sticks. This simple concoction of Lipton dehydrated onion soup mix and sour cream was a year-round staple on picnic and cocktail tables. Said to have been created by an unknown French cook somewhere in Los Angeles in 1954, as a kid, I loved the stuff. In the 1970's, due to the invention of dehydrated ranch-dressing packets, another dip began appearing at gatherings all across America: Hidden Valley Ranch spinach dip. As a young bride, I loved the stuff. Throughout the...... View full recipe for "~ Happy Valley Spinach Dip for Your Vegetable Tray ~"
~ Everybody in the Skillet: Perfect Sweet Potato Fries ~
Sweet potatoes -- of the kind that don't come out of a can and end up with marshmallows on top. I've had a love affair with this root vegetable since my first trist with a sweet potato that didn't come out of a can and have marshmallows on top. While I have a high-enough I.Q. to discern why once-upon-a-time in-the-history-of-canned-vegetetables, cooked sweet potatoes were put in those cans, in my lifetime, I will never be smart enough to figure out why those marshmallows got purposefully or experimentally plopped on top. Some answers are best left to the imagination. A sweet...... View full recipe for "~ Everybody in the Skillet: Perfect Sweet Potato Fries ~"
~ The Perfectly-Broiled 22-Minute Pork Blade Steak ~
The pork blade steak is my new-to-me muse -- in my own words, it's a bone-fide kick-butt man-sized pork chop. Known as pork steak, pork butt steak or pork blade steak, these bone-in steaks are cut from the shoulder of the pig -- the same part of the porcine used to make pulled pork. Similar in taste and texture to close-kin country-style spareribs*, they were invented in St. Louis, MO, and are a Midwest staple. As a country-style spare-rib lover living in central Pennsylvania, I ask the Sam's Club butcher to custom-cut these inexpensive, lesser-to-unknown-to-our-locale steaks for me. Perhaps this......

~Creamy, Cheesy & E-Z Chile-Lime Refried Bean Dip~
I love a starry night. Sitting outside in the warm Summer air, watching the sun set and listening to my next-door neighbors, the dairy cows, lowing in the pasture -- it's peaceful. That said, on some Summer nights, Thursdays during June, July and August, a band plays "up on the mountain" (the ski slope to the other side of the cow pasture). Weather permitting, on those toe-tapping evenings, if you stop by, you'll find a snack or three on the table next to the cooler of Corona. My neighbors, music on the mountain, &, bean dip.

~ Mexico's Torta Ahogada Drowned-Pork Sandwich ~
Torta ahogada. Culinarily, torta can mean several things: in Spain it refers to a pancake, in Latin America it's a cake, in Central America it's an omelette, and, in Mexico it's a sandwich -- the kind that, unlike the taco, fits the culinary definition of anything edible placed between two slices of bread. Generally speaking, in Spanish ahogada means drowned, drenched or drunk. Putting two and two together, today's recipe is: a Mexican sandwich, drowned or drenched in sauce. A traditional torta ahogada is a fried-pork and onion sandwich drenched in a spicy red sauce, and, this Mexican working-man's lunch......

~ Sink or Swim: Mexican Drowned-Beef Sandwiches ~
Tacos and tortas -- two staples of Mexican cuisine. They are to Mexico's culture what pizza and hamburgers are to America's -- you can't pass through a city or a town where you can't find either. If you're an American cook with a fondness for Mexican fare, like me, you most likely have a recipe-or-six for tacos (American-style ground beef tacos, grilled-beef tacos al carbon, shredded-pork carnitas tacos, shredded-pork tacos al pastor, chicken tacos, fish tacos, etc.). That said, how many Mexican torta recipes do you have in your repertoire? I'm guessing not too many, or none. Sink or swim:......

~ A Basic Mexican Marinade for Beef, Pork or Poultry ~
As a fan of Mexican-Texican food, I find myself improvising occasionally. Not, of course, when I'm preparing one of their many classic dishes (like low and slow roasted pork carnitas or tacos al pastor) -- they require specific ingredients and a traditional method of cooking. Improvisation enters my food world when I'm preparing one of my flash-in-the pan meals (a meal where the protein gets quickly grilled, grill-panned, pan-seared or broiled). This all-purpose marinade, which contains many flavors basic to Mexican-Texican fare, is my secret to imparting that all-important extra-layer of flavor into into my meal -- without overpowering it......

~ Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail (a Salad in a Glass) ~
Cóctel de camarónes. That's Spanish for cocktail of shrimp. If you're a fan of Southwestern spice, but never tasted a shrimp cocktail prepared Mexican-style, I recommend giving this Southwestern perfect-for-Summer twist on the classic a try -- plenty of plump, tender, poached (sometimes lightly-grilled) shrimp, swimming around in a citrusy, tomato, cilantro and spicy-hot sauce, containing pieces of diced avocado, cucumber, onion and jalapeño. It's a snazzy fork-friendly salad in a glass, not to be confused with its cousin, ceviche, which contains raw, cooked-via-marination fish and/or shellfish mixed with spices, citrus juice, vegetables and/or peppers. Traditional shrimp cocktail, as we...... View full recipe for "~ Mexican-Style Shrimp Cocktail (a Salad in a Glass) ~"
~Tangy-Sweet Strawberry White-Balsamic Vinaigrette~
Strawberries are no stranger to salads -- spinach and strawberry salads with poppyseed dressing were trendy on restaurant menus in the 1970's. Those salads caused me to experiment with strawberries, when appropriate, in place of tomatoes, in salad recipes using a variety of other greens and proteins too. It was only natural that I would experiment with sweet and savory salad dressings containing strawberries too. This vinaigrette recipe is the one that captured my strawberry loving heart. My Strawberry, Steak, Blue-Cheese and Arugula Salad (pictured in the background), is not only perfect for Spring, it's dazzling dressed with this vinaigrette:......

Strawberries aren't just for dessert, and, if the Northeast ever gets a break in the weather, the local strawberry season will be just around the corner. That said, the California-grown Driscoll's strawberries I found in the grocery store yesterday are plump and sweet, and, one of the man-sized flank steaks my husband picked up at Sam's Club today are going to team up for a hearty, sweet-and-savory, main-dish salad for a delightfully-carnivorous Sunday dinner this evening. Strawberries are no stranger to salads -- spinach and strawberry salads with poppyseed dressing were trendy on restaurant menus back in the 1970's. Because......

~My 18-Minute Philly-Dilly Flank-Steak Cheesesteaks~
Knowledge is power. As the 2018 "Dilly-dilly" Bud Light, Super Bowl commercial spiked in popularity, then filtered into the mantra for the Eagle's super-bowl victory parade in the form of "Philly-dilly", my curiosity caused me to research it -- and I'm glad I did. I'm here to report "dilly" is a real word, and, as per Merriam-Webster, it's a noun that comes from an obsolete adjective that refers to something "delightful", "remarkable" or "outstanding", which describes with perfection: My latest take on the cheesesteak -- The Philly-Dilly. If you have never eaten a cheesesteak sandwich in Philadelphia proper, you've never...... View full recipe for "~My 18-Minute Philly-Dilly Flank-Steak Cheesesteaks~"
~Gone Bananas: Double Banana Pudding Poke Cake~
Retro recipes with a history to report or a story to share, are fun for me to write. While plenty of versions for this particular cake are available on the internet, my reason for adding "mine" is two fold: plenty of present day cooks have no idea what a poke cake is, and, this particular one is, one of three poke cake recipes my mom made when I was growing up in the 1960's and '70's. Because banana pudding is classic and traditional Southern fare (a layered dessert of vanilla cookies, sliced bananas, vanilla pudding and meringue), that would indeed......

~ Thai-Style Oven-Roasted Barbecued Half Chicken ~
In the wide, wide world of food, almost every culture has a favorite way to serve grilled chicken. In Thailand, that would be gai yang. Those are the Thai words for grilled chicken, more specifically a very small, whole or half chicken that's been marinated in a soy-and-fish-sauce-based coconut-creamy, cilantro-greeny mixture laced with fragrant lemongrass, ginger, garlic and scallions. Throughout Thailand, the recipe for gai yang does vary from cook-to-cook, but not very much. Not to be confused w/authentic Thai gai yang... ... mine = American chicken infused w/authentic Thai flavor. In Thailand, small, lean chickens are skewered, cooked over......

~Pork Butt Blade Steaks w/Peachy Keen BBQ Sauce~
Known as pork steaks, pork butt steaks or pork blade steaks, these bone-in steaks are cut from the shoulder of the pig -- the same part of the porcine used to make pulled pork. Similar in taste and texture to close-kin country-style spareribs*, they were invented in St. Louis, MO, and are a Midwest staple. As a country-style spare rib lover living in central Pennsylvania, I ask my butcher to custom-cut these inexpensive, lesser-to-unknown-here steaks for me. Perhaps this post will help them to catch on "here in the counties", and start showing up in our local markets. *Country-style ribs......

~ Amish Honey-Mustard & Pickle-Relish Pasta Salad ~
Walk into any Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch grocery store or a market that caters to a region with a large Amish population, then, walk up to the refrigerated deli-case. There you'll find several traditional, high-quality side-dishes: eggy-rich macaroni- and potato- salads, creamy cole slaw, sweet 'n sour slaw and pepper-cabbage. Next, take a stroll down the condiment isle and gaze at the array of honey-mustard- and sweet and sour- salad dressings, dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, vinegar-marinated vegetables or mustardy chow-chows (a crunchy vegetable medley in mustard sauce). Lastly, check out the sweet treats: streusel-topped Dutch-apple, rhubarb-streusel and shoo-fly...... View full recipe for "~ Amish Honey-Mustard & Pickle-Relish Pasta Salad ~"
~ Homemade Bread and Butter Pickle Hot Dog Relish~
How 'bout them Yankees? Even though my sandlot days of being the only girl (and a lefty batter) in a neighborhood of boys are a far and distant memory, I still chuckle that, when they were choosing sides way-back-when, I was always one of the first. I couldn't throw or catch for crap, but it never seemed to matter. I typically hit the ball head on, strong, and long, and, I ran fast. I am typically not an avid watcher of America's favorite past-time (because college football is my gig this time each year), but, plenty of my family members......

~ Caprese: Tomato, Basil and Fresh Mozzarella Bites ~
I'm crazy for caprese, and, while these caprese bite appetizers are a bit fussy to make, they're fussy in a fun way. That said, when armed with a serrated knife and a grapefruit knife and spoon, I can hollow out the centers from about two dozen, 1" cherry tomatoes in about ten minutes (it's not rocket science). They're fun to eat too. Just pop the entire thing into your mouth -- all things caprese are compacted into one bite, and, there's no toothpick to throw away afterward. That said, we all have our quirks. I'm no exception. Today's example: I...... View full recipe for "~ Caprese: Tomato, Basil and Fresh Mozzarella Bites ~"

Wings and tailgate. Tailgate and wings. If two words ever went hand-in-hand onto the gridiron, yep, it would be those two. If I say tailgate, you say wings, and, if there is one thing we tailgaters can't resist, it's a new wing-flavor-profile to experiment with. I came across this one in the Parade Magazine insert of our local newspaper back in August. Parade credits the recipe to Michael Gulotta, chef-owner of MoPho and Maypop restaurants in New Orleans. Thank-you chef Gulotta. The moment I read through the ingredients list, I knew I was gonna love this recipe. For starters the......

Roger Maxwell "Doc" Cramer (July 22, 1905 – September 9, 1990) was an American center fielder and left-handed batter in Major League Baseball who played for four American League teams from 1929 to 1948.

Career
A mainstay at the top of his team's lineup for many years, Cramer led the American League in at bats a record seven times and in singles five times. He hit over .300 eight times, primarily with the Philadelphia Athletics and Boston Red Sox, and retired among the league's career leaders in hits (10th, 2705), games played (10th, 2239) and at bats (5th, 9140). One of the few major leaguers to play regularly in center field after turning 40, he also ended his career among the major leagues' all-time leaders in games in center field (3rd, 2031) and outfield putouts (4th, 5412), and ranked seventh in AL history in total games in the outfield (2142).

Born in Beach Haven, New Jersey, Cramer was nicknamed "Flit", which was the name of a popular insecticide, by sportswriter Jimmy Isaminger for his great ability to judge fly balls; in other words, he was death to flies. Indeed, he led AL outfielders in putouts in 1936 and 1938.

After starting his career in semipro ball in New Jersey in 1928, he was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics and hit .404 to win the Blue Ridge League batting championship in 1929. He played with the Athletics' powerful championship teams of 1929–1931, breaking in gradually, though in the postseason for the A's he appeared only twice, as a pinch-hitter, in the 1931 World Series. After he hit .336 in 92 games in 1932, his place on the team was secure. On June 20, 1932, he tied a major league record by going 6-for-6 in a nine-inning game (and on July 13, 1935, became the only AL player to do it twice). He scored 100 runs in a season for the first time in 1933, and hit for the cycle on June 10, 1934. In 1934, Cramer set a team record among left-handed hitters with 202 hits and topped it in 1935 with 214 – still the Athletics franchise record for a left-handed batter; he finished eighth in the 1935 MVP voting. But the fortunes of the A's declined just as Cramer was becoming a solid everyday player as the star players on the financially struggling team were sent on to other teams. Al Simmons and Jimmy Dykes were sold to the Chicago White Sox on the same day in September 1932, and Lefty Grove and Mickey Cochrane were traded away after the 1933 season. Jimmie Foxx was traded to the Red Sox in December 1935, and Cramer joined him a month later.

Batting leadoff, Cramer was a spray singles hitter, sometimes stretching them into doubles—although he was a not much of a base-stealer. He hit over .300 every year from 1937 to 1940 with Boston, scoring 100 runs in 1938 and 1939, and tied for the league lead in hits (200) in 1940. He was traded to the Washington Senators on December 12 of that year, and was sent to the Detroit Tigers exactly one year later after hitting .273. He was on the All-Star team five times (1935, 1937–40).

Two years after hitting over .300 for the last time with the 1943 Tigers, Cramer played 140 games in center field at age 40 in 1945 (albeit during World War II, when many regular players were in military service), and finally enjoyed significant play in the Fall Classic that year, leading the Tigers in the 1945 World Series with a .379 batting average, scoring seven runs and knocking in four, to help them win the Series 4–3 over the Chicago Cubs. He scored two runs and had one RBI in both Games 5 and 7. In his final seasons he was often used as a pinch-hitter, and he led the league with nine pinch-hits in 1947 before ending his career with four in 1948.

He was not known as a power-hitter, and liked to tell people about the time he was walked so the opposing pitcher could pitch to Hank Greenberg. On September 30, 1945, in St. Louis, the Tigers had men on second and third in the 9th, down 3–2. Cramer was walked to load the bases and set up a force play, but Greenberg followed with a grand slam that won the pennant for the Tigers. Interviewed by Donald Honig in the 1970s, Cramer told of how he would tease Greenberg: "So anywhere I go and Hank is there, I always say, 'You know, once they walked me to get to Hank Greenberg' — and never tell 'em what happened, and then Hank always jumps up and says, 'Hey, tell 'em what happened.' But I never do; I just leave it at that."

In his 20-season career, Cramer batted .296 with 2705 hits, 1357 runs, 37 home runs, 842 RBI, 396 doubles, 109 triples, 62 stolen bases and a .340 on-base percentage in 2239 games. Defensively, he compiled a career .979 fielding percentage. By team, he batted .308 for the Athletics, .302 for the Red Sox, .282 for the Tigers and .273 for the Senators. He rarely struck out, leading the AL four times in at strikeouts-per-at-bats and finishing in the top four five other seasons. His 2031 games in center field placed him behind only Tris Speaker (2690) and Ty Cobb (2194) in major league history. His 2705 hits are the most of any player retired before 1975 who has not been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

As White Sox batting coach from 1951 to 1953, he tutored the young second baseman Nellie Fox, who often credited Cramer with making him a major league hitter.

Cramer had worked as a carpenter before entering the major leagues, and continued to work as a carpenter during the off-seasons of his playing career.  After leaving baseball, he resumed working full time as a carpenter and home builder.

He died in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township, New Jersey, at 85 years of age, where a street, Doc Cramer Boulevard, is named in his honor. A youth baseball tournament, the Doc Cramer Invitational Baseball Tournament, used to be held in Manahawkin every July.

Best Songs of the Week Featuring DJ Khaled, Slim Jxmmi and More
Robby Seabrook III Published: March 2, 2018
Tiffany Rose/Angela Weiss, GettyImages
With February coming to a close (it blew by, didn't it?) and March walking in, we are just much closer to springtime, and all that comes with it. This week's edition of XXL's best songs has it all: solo tracks from group members, standout tracks from new names and more. DJ Khaled pulls together his famous friends Jay Z, Beyoncé and Future for a new single and Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd drops a strong solo track.
DJ Khaled's career has really taken off; he's a huge media personality, too. Taking it back to rap for his new single "Top Off," Khaled unites three of the biggest names in any genre: Future, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Future mostly handles the hook, while Jay and B(!) exchange verses. Hov admits the expensive check that's been going around isn't actually his: "$91,000 for a wine bill/Keep it real with you, that was Juan's bill/My whole team ball/Everybody's a star but the team ball." Meanwhile, B shows love to Meek Mill and a legendary Atlanta event: "Top off the coupe and it look like Freaknik/In the hood, hollerin', 'Free Meek.'"
Slim Jxmmi is one-half of Rae Sremmurd, alongside his brother Swae Lee. The duo's forthcoming album will be in three sections: A solo Slim Jxmmi offering, solo Swae Lee project and typical Rae Sremmurd album. "Brxnks Truck" is Jxmmi's solo single, and his first time helming a song by himself. He absolutely delivers over the boisterous beat, and is as clever as he's ever been. Plus, "I'm friends with the jeweler, my diamonds like Shamu/She rubbin' the head like she applyin' shampoo/Pretty face, she got a lil' ass, too," is too smooth.
Hoodrich Pablo Juan has been making noise in and outside of Atlanta for a little while now, and he chose to experiment on his latest EP, The Matrix. Every song on the EP is produced by French DJ Brodinski, who is known for his dark and brooding beats. "Thug Life," which also features Lil Dude, is one of the strongest songs on The Matrix. Pablo Juan dances all over it, spitting lines like, "Too many drugs, I need me a detox/One in the head, no safety, got to decock/I'm rockin' Louis V with peacock/Rollie, AP, Hublot, got three clocks."
Chicago rapper Valee is the latest addition the G.O.O.D. Music roster, and he released his EP, GOOD Job, You Found Me, today. The song that seems to be catching on early is "Skinny," a ChaseTheMoney-produced thumper. Valee brags all over the ominous beat. "I just paid 2,000 for some Cristian Lou', not knockoff/Waitin' on plug to pull up with that Actavis, not knockoff," he flexes. "Better not pull up with that fuckin' Hi-Tech shit, not at all/I just pushed up in some new designer shit, not from the mall."
A$AP Ferg just kicked off his Mad Man Tour, and to celebrate the moment, he dropped a collab with his tour mates Idk and Denzel Curry. The song, "Kristi Yamagucci," features all three artists fitting together perfectly, rapping like they've been at it for years. Ferg opens the song, listing all of the success he's tasted this year. "Plain Jane" the song of the year, I'm busy just chasin' the lettuce," he spits. "I'm a Calvin Klein model on billboards, I did a campaign with the fellas/Adidas done gave me another deal and Hennessy too, they got cheddar."
Gucci Mane never takes a day off. He just dropped a new single titled "Solitaire," collaborating with Quality Control Music stars Migos and Lil Yachty. The short song features quality verses from everyone, but Wop might have stolen the show. "Lookin' at the robbers like, 'Y'all ain't finna take shit'/Glacier Boy, amazin' shit, yeah jeweler ain't up on this he brags. "Crazy diamond bracelet, I'm jealous of my own wrist/If you ain't spend a million yet, you probably won't agree with this."

Metallica's Lars Ulrich Provides 'Thunderous Drums' for 'Triple Frontier' Film Score
Metallica are first and foremost for drummer Lars Ulrich, but the musician recently took advantage of a break in the band's schedule to expand his musical horizons by helping out on a film score. You can hear Ulrich's drum work tied to the score of the new film Triple Frontier, starring Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam and others.
Ulrich revealed his participation in an Instagram post, explaining, "Director JC Chandor, who I've admired for his previous films and gotten to know over the years, called me up and asked if I would contribute to the movie. The marching orders... Thunderous drums to back up the score in certain sequences. I'm in!! Had some fun for a coupla days in December laying down 'thunderous drums' on top of @dzasterpeace's brilliant existing stems of music and score ... and it's turned out really fuckin' cool."
Speaking about the movie itself, Ulrich told fans, "If you're in the mood for a clever, intelligent, suspenseful, well-cast action thriller with an unusual amount of smarts and depth, and the occasional 'thunderous drums,' go find @TripleFrontier.. streaming on your device of choice via @Netflix and in select theaters now. Happy days!"
In addition to Affleck and Hunnam, the film stars Oscar Isaac, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal as a group of former special forces soldiers whose plan to rob a cartel boss of his riches at his home in the triple borders area of the Amazon jungle goes awry. You can see a trailer for the film below.

There is often little space for greenery in urban areas. An ideal solution for this is greenery on the roof. A green roof is not only appealing to look at, it also offers many other advantages, such as water buffering, temperature regulation, sound insulation, air purification and it also encourages biodiversity. It's not just a Sedum roof that can be attractive, have you considered herbs on your roof, or vegetation specially selected to attract bees and butterflies? We are happy to advise you about the best application for your project.
Flat roofs are ideal as green roof. The system structure for a flat, water-retaining green roof consists of a drainage layer with filterfleece, extensive roof garden substrate, and a vegetation blanket.
The structure of a shallow pitched green roof differs slightly from the structure of a flat roof. Because water runs off the roof more quickly, a thicker substrate layer is needed. The substrate gives the correct dose of nutrition to the plants and so ensures your green roof is indeed green.
Sempergreen has the perfect solution for pitched roofs. The Sedum-mix blanket type T has plastic reinforcement top and bottom. This makes this vegetation blanket – in combination with the correct system structure – very suitable for (steeply) pitched applications. Read here about how you can transform your pitched roof into a sustainable green roof.
Sometimes a flat roof support structure requires a lightweight green roof. Our special lightweight structure for flat roofs transforms your grey roof, with a pitch of 0 to 15 degrees, into a sustainable green roof almost instantly.
When construction is underway, the ecosystem is disturbed. With a biodiverse roof you can contribute to maintaining biodiversity in the urban environment. Join Sempergreen and do your part to counter bee mortality, opt for a green roof with a Bees & Butterflies blanket.

Dr. Constance Chu and her research team are looking for participants in their Acute ACL Trial
In this study, Dr. Chu and her team will use an FDA-approved drug called Tranexamic Acid (TXA) — already widely used to reduce bleeding during orthopaedic surgeries — to see if TXA treatment right after ACL injury, and during ACL surgery, can improve knee recovery and cartilage health over 2 years of follow-up. This clinical trial is part of a $10 million grant led by Dr. Chu from the Department of Defense to combat the problem of osteoarthritis occurring after joint injuries.

Demonstration held to mark first anniversary of shock demolition of Maida Vale pub
Published: 4:45 PM April 19, 2016 Updated: 9:25 PM October 15, 2020

The Friends of the Carlton Tavern (FCT) held a demonstration outside the remains of The Carlton Tavern in Carlton Vale, on Sunday which was reduced to rubble last April by developer CLTX.
They were joined by Rita Begum, Maida Vale Labour councillor, and Karen Buck, Labour MP for Westminster North.
The demonstration was to rally people to prepare for the upcoming public inquiry in May when CLTX will appeal against the ruling that they must rebuild the pub "brick-by-brick".
Maureen Pepper, treasurer for FCT, said: "We are coordinating the local residents' point of view showing our communities' loss and why we want our pub rebuilt. Westminster City Council will put up a strong case for rebuilding and we will support this."
The owners have been ordered to build it back 'brick-by-brick' - Credit: Archant
CLTX, based in Tel Aviv and owned by Ori Calif, applied for planning permission in January 2015 to replace the pre-war pub with a bar and block of flats, which was rejected by the council.
Bulldozers were called in to demolish the pub with all its contents inside on April 8 last year, shortly before it was due to be given a Grade II listing by Historic England.
CLTX appealed against the failed application weeks afterwards, and then against an enforcement order from Westminster Council to rebuild the pub "brick by brick".
Cllr Begum said: "It was really sad. We met to mark the end of the Carlton a year on and how dreadful that was. Time has gone on really quickly and we look forward now to the public inquiry coming up hoping that it all goes well."

The public inquiry starts on May 17 at 10 am and will run for approximately eight days. It will be held at Westminster City Hall.

Medieval times were certainly rich in gold, with coins of the precious metal stocked by rich people, and those amounts of gold attracted robbers and searchers for treasures. Medieval money is available in abundance here, in this IGT Slot machine, which will keep you entertained online with money seeking adventures. There will be 4 features to provide variety, so you will never be bored, and will get heaps of chances for big wins in the game. Prepare for the bouquet of features: Money Bags Picker, Joust Free Spins Bonus, Spell Picker, and the Dragon Path Bonus. That means there will even be a dragon, perhaps the guardian of the treasures in medieval times. But you can outwit and defeat the dragon, and with bags to be picked in free play, there are certainly heaps of gold coins scattered here and there.
The jester will crack jokes, but they can be misleading, so be on the lookout. The jester's hat will be the Wild, and will appear on reels 2 to 4. As the Wild, it will do a lot of substituting in this free Vegas Slot. The bonus symbol will be represented by the target. The Wild will start the line of symbols to pay you out, and they will all pay you for 5, 4, or 3 identical symbols. All of them will be drawn in cartoon style, but you will recognize a knight, a fair haired lady, another fair haired one, and another knight with a big helmet. Their biggest payouts will be 300, 250, 200, and 175, for 5 identical ones. The poker symbols which will follow will look like made of wrought iron, typical medieval adornments, and will award maximum 125 or 100.
Make the most of the bonus round, the Archery Picker, with 3 target symbols on the 3 middle reels. By choosing targets out of 9, you will also choose one of the features: the Money Bags Picker, the Joust Free Spins Bonus, the Spell Picker, or the Dragon Path Bonus. Start playing the feature you have chosen, to get wins galore. The Money Bag Picker will present you with 3 bags heaving with money. Pick one of them, and get your bonus win, with 2x to 50x times your total bet. In the Joust Free Spins Bonus, you can win 7 free spins, with a feature called Jousting Wilds Expansion. That feature will be especially thrilling, with two wild knights on reels 1 and 5, both on the same row. The knights will fight, and depending on who wins, different symbols on the row between the helmets symbols will go wild. In the Spell Picker, you will meet a wizard, with 5 spell bottles with different multipliers. There are 3 ways to finish the bonus: when you accept a bottle offer, if you are offered 100x, or if 5 offers have been directed to you. Finally, in the Dragon Path Bonus, you will spin a wheel, and get multipliers. The feature will wrap up when you see the will stop at a skull, or when the dragon's treasure is exceeded, in free Slot play no download.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling Regulates the Segregation of Artery and Vein via ERK Activity during Vascular Development

Kim, S.H., Schmitt, C.E., Woolls, M.J., Holland, M.B., Kim, J.D., and Jin, S.W. (2013) Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling Regulates the Segregation of Artery and Vein via ERK Activity during Vascular Development. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. 430(4):1212-1216.
Segregation of two axial vessels, the dorsal aorta and caudal vein, is one of the earliest patterning events occur during development of vasculature. Despite the importance of this process and recent advances in our understanding on vascular patterning during development, molecular mechanisms that coordinate the segregation of axial vessels remain largely elusive. In this report, we find that Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (Vegf-A) signaling regulates the segregation of dorsal aorta and axial vein during development. Inhibition of Vegf-A pathway components including ligand Vegf-A and its cognate receptor Kdrl, caused failure in segregation of axial vessels in zebrafish embryos. Similarly, chemical inhibition of Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (Map2k1)/ Extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (Erk) and Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K), which are downstream effectors of Vegf-A signaling pathway, led to the fusion of two axial vessels. Moreover, we find that restoring Erk activity by over-expression of constitutively active MEK in embryos with a reduced level of Vegf-A signaling can rescue the defects in axial vessel segregation. Taken together, our data show that segregation of axial vessels requires the function of Vegf-A signaling, and Erk may function as the major downstream effector in this process.
