[Monday] What are you recipe questions?Discussion (self.recipes)
submitted 1 year ago by rbevans
General Monday discussion about recipe substitution, what to do about a dish, how to season something, or just overall anything recipes.
[–]freezingprocess 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (8 children)
I have one. Before I learned to cook I ate A LOT of Lipton pasta packets. One of my favorites was the Chicken Pasta. I have been trying and trying to recreate that without all the terribleness that is a fake food packet. I can't. I've tried so many combinations of spices and peppers and sauces. I just can't seem to nail this one down.
It has a distinct tangy flavor. The little green and red bits seem to be a big part of it, but no matter the balance of parsley and red pepper and, well, a cocktail of other spice mixtures I have tried...I just can't get it right.
I find it maddening. Any ideas?
[–]PalmCat 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I did the same thing--made one almost every night for dinner before I learned how to cook. I was curious too so I checked out the ingredients online and I could be way off here but could it be the hydrolized soy protein? According to this site, it "stimulates our umami taste receptors, just like soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, or MSG" which does sound a bit like what you describe.
The label also said it contains cream cheese and white wine so you could try those in your recipe.
[–]TheFrigginArchitect 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Celery salt can mimic the flavor of MSG
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (3 children)
Honestly, it's probably some type of salt. If you look at the sodium content in those mixes, they're astronomical. Which is why we find them delicious. ;) I wouldn't recommend adding a ton of salt, but maybe a different type (onion, celery or seasoning salt).
[–]freezingprocess 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
It isn't the salt. It is a distinct flavor involving peppers, parsley, and sour cream...or something...I can't put my finger on it.
I hated the saltiness. It isn't the salt.
[–]franklin_stubbs 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
It probably is the salt, dressed up to not be like salt. Or some other magical chemical the Lipton food wizards concocted.

I second every one else's responses and wanted to add that "Red and green bits" sound like dehydrated bell pepper. You can order some from my favorite spice store, Penzey's.
Edit: just search for bell pepper. My search term didn't stay with the URL who I copy and pasted :(
[–]bks33691 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You might try some of the dried salad dressings, like Hidden Valley Italian. Those have a good mix of seasonings in them - you want to be careful not to use too much though, they can be very strong.
[–]PalmCat 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (7 children)
I'm trying to find a recipe. When I first started lurking on reddit there was a thread about someone who had only a few dollars to eat for a couple days and wanted cheap food ideas. I never really ventured off the first few pages so I have no idea what sub it was from. In the thread, people kept talking about a cabbage recipe and how amazing it was, how they could eat it every night and never tire of it, etc. I think it had cabbage, maybe butter, and probably some beef but maybe not because that may have been out of OP's price range. It was very simple--put cabbage in a pan, add this stuff and you have a great meal.
Any one know what it was? I'd like to try it since so many people raved about it but I've searched several times and can't find it.
[–]real_nice 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Sounds like meat slop.
Pretty cheap and tasty.
[–]PalmCat 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
That's it! Thanks so much. :)
I have to admit, it doesn't sound too tasty to me but I'll trust you and all the other people on the old thread and try it. Thanks again.
[–]readcard 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
In Australia we have a variation of this we call Chow mein that adds two minute noodles into the mix. Something that was pretty cheap to make and has many variations
[–]pattertj 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
[–]PalmCat 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
No, it definitely had cabbage as the main ingredient--I checked that page and no mention of cabbage. Thanks for searching for me tho!
[–]eight42 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Is it the famous Weight Watcher's cabbage soup?
Weight Watchers Garden Vegetable Soup
2/3 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves
3 cup broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
1 1/2 cup diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini
In a large saucepan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, saute carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.
Stir in zucchini and heat 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.
It's not but that's a great recipe--I've had that years ago and I actually loved it. I should make that this week as it's starting to get cold here--perfect soup weather. The recipe they were talking about seemed to be something a lot of 20ish year old single guys ate.
[–]bonniethedonkey 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I need a good gluten free pie crust recipe that does not have butter. Out o necessity I am gluten and dairy free. Been dying for homemade pot pie!
[–]pattertj 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (1 child)
My wife is DF and GF, we have used this with great success: http://www.elanaspantry.com/paleo-pie-crust/
We usually just buy Almond slivers and blend them, instead of trying to find Almond Flour. Also, we will use vegetable shortening over Coconut Oil sometmies.
[–]bonniethedonkey 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Coconut or most any nut flour (noted the almond flour already mentioned. Might even try a 505/50 coconut and almond flour. I personally would sub out the butter for high quality lard. Lard makes the best pie crusts.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (3 children)
I made a cheesecake last night. It's absolutely delicious. I have a problem though, I wrapped my springform pan with the wide foil - all the way to the top, but still managed to get water inside the foil. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
[–]Whambamthkumaam 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
too much water? splashing while you put it in the stove?
Try putting the pan in first and carefully pouring the water around it or place the pan of water on the rack below the cheesecake, that's what I do.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
That's actually how I did it. I wonder if maybe I accidentally got some in the foil whilst pouring. When I went to take the cake out of the foil, there was a little pool of water.
[–]Whambamthkumaam 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Double up on the foil next time or put the pan of water on the rack below. It might have just leaked through or got into the pan while you were pouring...no way to know at this point.

Salt it thoroughly. Oil won't do a thing.
[–]panda12291 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
Adding plenty of salt is good for flavoring, and theoretically to make water boil hotter, though I'm not really sure about that point; a little vinegar keeps the pasta from sticking. Too much vinegar = icky though, so be careful. Oil doesn't really do anything as far as I know- I've been cooking for a couple years without it at this point and haven't noticed a difference. I notice a big difference with the vinegar, especially with pastas that tend to stick like angel hair.
[–]ohratz 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
A good eats episode which might help.
[–]deepfriedtofu 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
What is the proper consistency of a finished souffle? I have made some pumpkin souffles in the past that have turned out delicious but I stopped making them because I could never find a straight answer on how wet/dry the inside was supposed to be and I didn't want to serve them undercooked (eggs and what not). They rose properly, but were still quite moist inside (think almost like a good, southern bread pudding) So I would love it if someone could give me a decent answer on this. I have never had a souffle in a restaurant, so I have no way to compare.
[–]logan737 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I see recipes call for oil subs including apple sauce, bananas, avocados. What else can you use and what are the exchange rates?
[–]liskipisk 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I have some sundried tomato oil that I'm not entirely sure how to use. Any ideas where to put it besides pasta and bread?
[–]rbevans[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
How combining that with some goat cheese and some chicken breast.
[–]turbie[🍰] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
You know how cooking steak in butter makes it amazing? Do you think that would work for boneless pork chops too?
[–]bks33691 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Yes, it's the "cooking in butter" part that makes it good - you can cook anything in butter as long as you aren't cooking it so hot the butter burns.
[–]Dokibatt 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Actually, burn it, but just a little bit:
[–]spitfyre 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Good chicken marinades that are a) not spicy at all and b) either can sit all day or for only 30-60 mins? (I dont have time to do 2hr marinades on weeknights)
Some greek yogurt or labneh with a little lemon juice and garlic mixed in makes an excellent marinade, and it does some good after only an hour or so. Another one is yogurt with Indian spices - cumin, coriander, chili powder, etc. That one is milder and the chicken can stand up to it for a longer soak.
Italian salad dressing also makes a good marinade, but I'm not sure if it works either in that short or long of a time. I suspect that an hour would get some flavor into the meat though.
[–]quarkwright2000 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Try using a bottle of your favorite vinagrette salad dressing. My current favorite is Kraft's Tuscan Italian olive oil dressing.
When I buy meat, I usually buy in bulk and divide into zip bags and freeze. So when I'm planning on chicken for dinner I pull it out of the freezer the night before, empty from the smaller zips into a bigger one, pour in the bottle of salad dressing and leave in the fridge to defrost and marinate. It is delish grilled or baked.
[–]Mei_dong 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I am curious if anyone has some pheasant/duck recipes that would be worth trying! I have some frozen pheasant that I would like to prepare. I am open to any suggestions!
[–]ohmygezuz23 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
zest v. Juice
Can you substitute zest for the actual lemon or orange juice?
Like in lemon cheesecake or in French toast with orange zest. Will the flavor be any different? Would it affect texture?
I wouldn't use juice in either. I don't think you can interchange them in all cases (maybe sometimes?) Personally here I would use zest with both cheesecake and French Toast. I would infuse the cream/milk with the zest first and then strain it out. If the zest is fine enough you could get away with leaving it in the french toast as it would get fried into the bread (yumm!?)(I'd still strain it out probably though.)
When cooking lobster, should it be killed with a knife to the back before boiling or killed when its put in the boiling water? Does this change the flavor of the lobster at all?

Ludwig II is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by You Higuri. It is licensed in North America by Digital Manga Publishing, which released the first volume of the manga on 10 June 2009, and the second on 23 September 2009. It is licensed in France and Germany by Panini Comics, although it is now out of print in France. It fictionalises the story of Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Holly Ellingwood, writing for Active Anime, enjoyed how You Higuri brought historical facts into her story. Casey Brienza, writing for Graphic Novel Reporter, described Ludwig II as being "an updated Rose of Versailles", due to its "bold lines, asymmetrical layouts" and European setting, describing it as being less about the history than about the personalities in that time. Katherine Dacey enjoyed Higuri's "sensual artwork — her languid character designs, sumptuous interiors, and Wagnerian imagery", but disliked the sexual torture of the king's lover, Richard Hornig. Leroy Douresseaux, writing for Comic Book Bin, felt "You Higuri’s use of romantic entanglements, sex, and political machinations makes for an excellent, engaging read." and also enjoyed the artwork, noting Higuri's use of toning and sparkling techniques around Ludwig to symbolise the "enchanted fantasy world he wants to inhabit". Melinda Beasi, writing for PopCultureShock, felt that the plot could have been closer to real life, but noted that the "palpable loneliness" of the real Ludwig II does not fit well into the boys love genre.

|Cards Whip Phillies Behind Carpenter
|ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Chris Carpenter worked eight dominant innings and the St. Louis Cardinals got home runs from Randy Winn and Matt Holliday, winning their seventh in a row with a 7-1 victory over the slumping Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.
Phillies 47-year-old starter Jamie Moyer strained his elbow and lasted only one inning. The Phillies have lost five of six since the All-Star break and demoted another starter earlier in the day, sending Kyle Kendrick to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Carpenter (11-3) faced the Phillies for the first time since opening day in 2006 at Philadelphia and was removed after throwing only 90 pitches and allowing a run on five hits.

According to Public Health England, an executive agency of the UK Department of Health and Social Affairs, 63 Delta genomes (B.1.617.2) with the new K417N mutation have been identified so far as part of the science initiative global GISAID. In its latest Covid-19 variant report, updated until last Friday, India had reported six cases of Delta + as of June 7.
Dr Vinod Scaria, clinician and computational biologist at the Delhi Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, said an important point to consider regarding K417N was “evidence suggesting resistance to the monoclonal antibodies Casirivimab and Imdevimab”. This cocktail has received authorization for emergency use in the country from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization.
Scaria tweeted on Sunday that among the emerging variants, Delta + (B.1.617.2.1) was characterized by the acquisition of the K417N mutation which corresponds to the receptor binding domain and has also been associated with immune evasion. “The variant frequency for K417N is not much in India. As Delta continues to evolve, acquiring new mutations, there is a lot of interest in understanding these mutations, ”he wrote, naming the new mutant Delta +.
The report from Public Health England states that the Delta-AY.1 version was found through routine analysis of Delta variations. A small number of the sequences detected had acquired the K417N spike protein mutation, he said. Scientists attribute the first such streak to Europe at the end of March. Scaria said 127 footage from Europe, Asia and America is now available in the public domain. Scaria pointed out that several genomes now available around the world were part of the AY.1 or B.1.617.2.1 lineage.

Today I wrote about brooding. Surprising, right?! 😉 If you’ve ever felt as though all you do is obsess about creative projects instead of getting anything accomplished, I would like to hope this post would offer you some encouragement. It considers brooding from a different angle.
I’m sharing it here, on my own blog, because I think some of you may also like to read it because I delve into my motivations for writing.
The post, “When You Brood More Than You Write,” is on the blog of the press I work for. Here is a snippet.
Brooding is uncomfortable. Embarrassing. It’s difficult to see the point, and while I wonder what the point could be, I brood some more. What should I do with my book? Should it be fiction or nonfiction? Should I scrap the manuscript and start over?
More than anything, I wrestle with what it means to write in a way that honors the people among whom I grew up, in sub-Saharan West Africa. I vividly remember my farewell feast in northern Benin. Nineteen years old, I was leaving West Africa to pursue a university writing degree in the USA. The community outdid itself on the food. All my favorite dishes. And there were speeches, of course. I made a speech, too. In my best Baatonu, I said I would not forget. I said they were my people. Always would be my people.


It seems that Philadelphia is going to be the latest recipient of illegal aliens bused from Texas.
Cue the whining, this time from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s spokesman.
This information was relayed to us from a community partner organization as Texas officials have not coordinated with the city. We do not have an exact location of where the bus will disembark, nor do we have any specific information about those on board, nor do we know if other buses are planned.
Neither do any of the cities getting the illegal aliens Biden flies in in the dark of night get any warning of arrival or of when they’re departing.
Neither do any of the cities in the border States get any warning of the illegal aliens streaming across our open southern border—other than the fact of that steady flow; 2.3 million illegal aliens in Fiscal 2022 alone.
Neither do any of us get any indication of when the Biden administration will start taking this border and illegal alien disaster seriously.

The high number of doctors without a GP is especially concerning given the threat posed to wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Medical Council President told the Medical Professionalism Conference hosted by the RCSI.
Dr Suzanne Crowe said “the proportion of doctors who are not signed up to a GP remains worryingly high”.
“We would encourage every doctor, if they have their own health concerns, to discuss it with their family doctor. If you don’t have a GP, please sign up with one today,” said Dr Crowe.
Doctors experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues can also contact the Practitioner Health Matters Programme, “which is completely independent of the Medical Council.” The Council’s health committee also provides “confidential and independent support for doctors”.
Dr Crowe added that the Council had recently produced a guide on doctor wellbeing because the issue had “been of such concern” since the emergence of Covid-19 over two years ago.
She warned that “particularly when you are working in a healthcare system that’s under siege, it’s very easy to just run yourself into the ground.”
“We encourage doctors to consider their own mental health and to take steps to refresh and refill the vessel. Because there is no doubt if you continue to just give to your patients and your family, there will not be anything left for yourself.”
On the issue of patient safety, Dr Crowe said the Council fully acknowledged that “doctors are working in a health service, which is not resourced to what we would like it to be”.
She said that “we would like doctors to maintain a culture of patient safety, but we acknowledge that this is often very challenging”.
“So speak to those around you, within the hospital, within your clinic, and let them know about the kind of resources you need,” said Dr Crowe. “I know this is exhausting to advocate and petition all the time, but it is how we will grow our health service.”

A historic day for Puerto Rico, says Pierluisi
The last one was not enough: Puerto Rico’s Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi says another plebiscite is coming for Puerto Rico.
Shortly after the White House released the 2014 budget, Pierluisi—Puerto Rico’s sole representative in Congress, and who is for statehood—announced that it includes the allotment of $2.5 million to go towards a new plebiscite to vote on the island’s territorial status.
“Today is a historic day for all of us that fight for equality and justice for Puerto Rico,” Pierluisi said in a statement. “The White House recognizes that in Nov. 06 the majority of American citizens in Puerto Rico revoked their consent to continue with the current territorial status because it denies the residents of Puerto Rico fundamental rights of democracy.”
A similar plebiscite took place just last November, and the option of statehood won. However, some have brought the result into question.

Federal judge strikes down Wisconsin election laws
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday threw out as unconstitutional a host of Wisconsin election laws passed in recent years, saying they unfairly benefited Republicans who had enacted them and made it more difficult for Democrats to vote.
U.S. District Judge James Peterson's ruling keeps in place the state's voter identification law, unlike recent rulings in North Carolina and Texas, but he ordered broad changes. The sweeping ruling was a defeat for Republican Gov. Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled Legislature. It will not affect Wisconsin's upcoming Aug 9 primary, but will take effect for the Nov. 8 presidential election unless overturned on appeal.
A spokesman for the state Department of Justice, which defended the laws, said the agency plans to appeal to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, though attorneys were still reviewing the 120-page decision Friday evening. Walker's spokesman Tom Evenson said the ruling — issued at 5 p.m. Friday — was still being reviewed and the governor would comment later.
Peterson ordered the state to quickly issue credentials valid for voting to anyone trying to obtain a free photo ID for voting but lack the underlying documents such as birth certificates to obtain one. He called the state's current process for getting free IDs to people who lack such documents "a wretched failure" because it has left a number of overwhelmingly black and Hispanic citizens unable to obtain IDs.
Peterson also struck down restrictions limiting municipalities to one location for in-person absentee voting and limiting in-person early voting to weekdays, allowing municipalities to hold weekend early voting sessions. He said imposing weekday limitations intentionally discriminates against Democratic-leaning blacks in Milwaukee.
He also struck down an increase in residency requirements from 10 to 28 days, a prohibition on using expired but otherwise qualifying student IDs to vote and a prohibition on distributing absentee ballots by fax or email.
"Wisconsin has the authority to regulate its elections to preserve their integrity, and a voter ID requirement can be part of a well-conceived election system," Peterson wrote. "But ... parts of Wisconsin's election regime fail to comply with the constitutional requirement that its elections remain fair and equally open to all qualified electors."
The ruling came just hours after a federal appeals court blocked a North Carolina law that required voters to produce photo identification and included other provisions disproportionately affecting black voters. Judges in the Virginia-based 4th Circuit Court of Appeals said the law was enacted "with discriminatory intent."
Earlier this month, a federal appeals court ruled that Texas' strict voter ID law discriminates against minorities and must be weakened before the November elections. And just last week, a federal judge in Milwaukee blew a hole in Wisconsin's voter ID law, saying people having trouble getting the required ID can sign an affidavit to vote in the Nob. 8 election.
The two liberal groups who brought the lawsuit decided Friday — One Wisconsin Institute and Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund Inc. — argued the restrictions were unconstitutional and discriminate against the poor, racial minorities and younger voters who are more inclined to vote Democratic. They presented evidence at trial attempting to show that Republicans were motivated to pass the laws to suppress Democratic turnout.
Defense attorneys countered that the laws, all passed since Walker and Republicans took control of the Legislature in 2011, have not suppressed turnout and that the state works hard to ensure everyone who needs a free ID to vote gets one.
"This is a liberal judge's attempt to undermine our elections less than four months out," Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Rochester Repubican, said in a statement. "It's also an obvious attempt to usurp the power of the legislature. I'm confident that the laws will be reinstated upon appeal. The measures did not disenfranchise voters; they protected the integrity of our elections and people's right to vote."
Scot Ross, director of the liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now, an arm of One Wisconsin Institute, cheered the ruling.
"We argued Gov. Walker made it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat, and the judge agreed," Ross said.
Marc Elias, an attorney representing both liberal groups, said he was thrilled with the decision. His law firm has successfully challenged similar voting restrictions across the country.
He said the rulings are steps toward correcting "voting restriction laws put in place by Republican legislators." There's been a concerted effort by Republicans nationwide since President Barack Obama took place to peel back voting rights and laws improving access to the polls that had been in place since 1965, he said.
"It is a great day for Wisconsin voters and those who care about protecting the right to vote," he said.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump will be the Republican candidate for U.S. President — something nobody but voters wanted.
Trump sealed that deal yesterday when he smashed Ted Cruz in the Indiana primary.
His victory is an astonishing revolt against the political and media class, and even against his own party. It’s a warning of how despised the elite and its pieties are becoming.
The media savaged the boastful property tycoon from the start, and almost no serious political figure endorsed him until recently. The Republican elite tried to back almost anyone but the man who was until not that long ago a Democrat sympathiser.
At every step Trump was written off. When he insisted he’d build a great wall to stop illegal immigrants coming in — and make Mexico pay — he was mocked as a foreign policy disaster.
When he said illegal immigrants from Mexico included many who were “rapists” and “bringing drugs” he was vilified as a racist.
When he attacked Fox News host Megyn Kelly for questioning his abuse of some women as “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals” the media warned he’d lost half the population.
Yet he’s won because of one cunning trick — he kept winning primaries. He kept winning the votes of people, most not well off.
Those wins kept surprising the pundits, and recent polls suggest one reason why.
It seems many people have a regard for Trump that they don’t dare admit to pollsters for fear of the very elites Trump attacks.
Trump is the ultimate political outsider and populist, and has a critical virtue that much of the media deems shameful.
He is a patriot and immigration sceptic who says his own country should come first.
“We’re going to make America great again,” he repeated yesterday — and he claims to have the toughness to deliver.
His ferocious attacks on rivals help prove it. He dismissed Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted” and now calls the Democrats’ Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary”.
A man prepared to fight that hard must seem to many voters like one who’d fight equally hard for America. More Americans might now get that.
See how he’s shrunk Clinton’s poll lead?
Ohio Governor John Kasich has dropped out of the presidential race after struggling to gain traction against Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

The Rudy Project KarbonEye is an incredible pair of sunglasses, and the frameless design has superb peripheral visibility and a panoramic field of view, and lenses offers excellent optical clarity. The KarbonEye is comfortable, durable and lightweight, and the lenses are made with tough and trick ImpactX material.
Rudy Project KarbonEye
The KarbonEye temple are constructed with a stainless steel core and an outer carbon fiber foils bonded together with over-injected Megol, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which offers a soft and hypo-allergenic rubber, for maximum comfort and adhesion.
The one-piece ImpactX Photochromic lens, offers excellent wrap-around protection, light management and optical clarity, and they’ll accept a prescription stainless steel optical insert. The Ergonose 4 nose pads use an aerated version of the Megol, and are adjustable for comfort and fit. The KarbonEye comes in a nice carrying case, is available in three versions: the Carbon/Red frame with ImpactX Photochromic Red lens ($359.99), the White Carbon/Black frame with ImpactX Photochromic Clear lens ($359.99), and White Carbon/Black frame with Polar3fx Laser Grey lens ($384.99).
The NXT polyurethane polymer technology was born of the successful efforts to develop advanced transparent armor for U.S. Army helicopters. Commercial applications for this new polymer material led to the production of lenses and shields for sunglasses and sport eye wear. The NXT lens is manufactured by pouring resin into a low-temperature glass molds. This reduces the tension in the material and gives better optical quality and homogeneity, excellent transparency and improved long-term stability. The NXT lens meets the ANSI Z87.1 standard for industrial application impacts, meaning it must withstand a pointed 17.6 ounce projectile dropped from a height of 50 inches, and 1/4 inch steel ball traveling at 150 ft/sec. ImpactX lens technology offers the NXT semi-rigid molecular properties, including enhanced impact resistance, superb optics, and scratch-resistance, formulated exclusively for Rudy Project, by combining photochromic particles and advanced polarized technology for any type of climatic and light condition.
The photochromic lenses will darken or lighten depending on light intensity, come in several colors, each with a differing light transmission range, and include Golf Green (13-38%), Red (21-50%), Clear (18-78%), Laser Clear (16-62%), Brown (21-50%) and Grey (12-30%), and they all provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. The polarized lenses will enhance contrast and depth perception, and come in two colors, Grey and Brown, which have 12% light transmission and 100% UVA and UVB protection. Rudy Projects backs their lenses toughness with their Replacement Lens Guarantee (RLG) policy, and if a customer ever scratches them, for whatever reason, they’ll replace the lenses for a nominal shipping & handling fee of $19.95.
The red photochromic lens worked great in changing light, and they didn’t have any issues with moving in and out of the trees. They got dark enough in bright conditions to keep things pleasant without being blinded, while in dimmer settings, they mellowed out to a subdued hue. The red tint offered good contrast, sharpness, reduced glare and increased depth perception, which was beneficial in technical terrain, and when you rolled directly into the sun. I usually ride in places in which I am going in and out of the shade, into wooded areas, and I also ride a lot in the late afternoon, so I appreciated the self-adjusting photochromic lens. In extremely bright light and late dusk, they were outside of their comfort zone, though it was really pushing the boundaries of its light transmission range. The lens’s coating properties and how their shape bows out away from the face, meant I didn’t have any issues with fogging, even in cold, wet and humid conditions, including when I was sweating profusely on a hot day.
The lens has a high degree of clarity, and the shape and frameless design offered a superb panoramic field of view, without any edges or obstructions. The spaciousness and bendability of the lens, along with the temples flexibility and padding, and the comfortable nosepiece, worked in synergy to make the sunglasses disappear on your face. It was nice to forget that you were wearing a set of sunglasses. The fit snugly, so even when thrashing and bashing through the most extreme conditions and terrain, they stayed firmly planted. The lens was wide and decently tall, so they provided good wind blockage and sun protection, though sometimes the frameless design meant watery eyes when going Mach 1 or when dealing with high winds. Although the temples are skinny, the lens wraparound design provided decent side protection for scattered side light entry. The nosepiece and the temple tips have a good amount of adjustability, for altering the fit, and increasing the comfort. I didn’t like the end of the temple tips, as they were slightly sharp, and on occasion, I would poke myself when putting them on. The hinges are hidden, which provides additional safety during a crash, and no pinching where it closes.
I really liked the nice carrying case they came with, and it was extremely easy to place them into it, and it offered a lot of protections, which was handy when tossing it into your travel bag. They are brutally expensive, although the technology, design and especially the addition of the carbon fiber bumps up the costs. Their price point is in line to some of Oakley’s pricier models, but is still cheaper than its top of the line $1500 C SIX. Thanks to the durable NXT, the lenses have been bombproof, and I have gotten no scratches, which is pretty amazing, since I always seem to do that with any eyewear, even the ones that are supposed to be unscratchable (marketing hyperbole). I do admit that due to the price and my love of the KarbonEye, I am extra cautious with them, and treat them with additional TLC.
- Weight: 30.1 grams/1.06 ozs
- Lens size: 136mm x 49mm ( x inches)
- Arm Length: 132mm ( inches)
- Frame size: 139mm wide ( inches) x 142mm long ( inches)
The Rudy Project KarbonEye is a superb pair of sunglasses, which is comfortable, lightweight and stays put, and the frameless design provides an incredible panoramic view. The ImpactX lens has exceptional clarity, and the photochromic capabilities work wonders in varying conditions, and I especially enjoyed the red tint, which offers excellent contrast, sharpness, reduces glare and increases depth perception. The synergy of the comfort, flexible lens and temples, and frameless and spaciousness of the design meant I forget that I was wearing them, which is a sure sign of a great pair of sunglasses (or any apparel product). The durable, scratch and impact resistant NXT material is pretty amazing, and offers outstanding safety. The trick and sharp-looking steel and carbon-fiber temples, is coated with a soft and resilient rubber, and the nosepiece and tip have great adjustability for fitting and comfort. The Rudy Project KarbonEye is brutally expensive, but their excellent features, extreme comfort and frameless design make for an exceptional pair of sunglasses.
- Photochromic – red tint was excellent
- Superb Clarity
- Panoramic view
- Frameless design
- You forget you are wearing sunglasses
- Temple tip end point is pointy
- Brutally expensive

HorseObsessed's Reviews ＆ Ratings
?I admit I read these books in the wrong order. I read them by number of pages (smallest to largest), I read the story out of order (& my apologies for that). Overall the story(s) (with all of the books) is very good. ?I guess I'll have to reread them in order from now on.? I do still like the story with Wataru & Ryu the best, though.?
?The first story (with Wataru & Ryu) is the best, sooo goood.? You need to get this one!?
I do like this title more than the one I just read. I have never read a Yaoi story with the two guys switching positions. I found it to be a good read, overall. I still rented, however.
It's ok, I like the first story set (+ bonus story better), which is why the four star rating. I only rented this one, I wouldn't buy it.
?OH MY GOD!!!?SO CUTE!!!? You really need to get this one!!!?
?I do like the obsessives/stalker type of stories because I like to see how the protagonist comes out the winner. I was actually rooting for Kaoru & Nana to end up together. I think, at the end, when he finally told her how he felt, it sounded to me like she may have started to fall for him. & that she may always love him, or she's wishing him luck & happiness in his life. But I'm kind of hoping for the first one. The English title for this story is misleading. It leads you to think that Kaoru's going to win her heart, then it disappoints you with Nanjo winning. The ending is disappointing.?
?The artwork is very good, I like the story, I think it's really cute.? I'll be rereading this.?
?Love the artwork.? The stories were really cute. This is the second book I have read from her, I love both of them.?
?The story was very intriguing, I would never have guessed the outcome! I Love this!?It's a Shojo/Yaoi, it gives you hints as to possible intimate relationship between the two MCs. I like how Andrew dodge's Seth's advances. It's refreshing to see the object of his affection not change (that doesn't happen much in the Manga I've read so far. You'll have to read this to find out what I mean.? The story was great, it really keeps you guessing, the author sends you in different directions. It's a really good who-done-it.?
I like the story alot but it's incomplete. I think it could go for four more chapters. The author should return to this story & finish it, I hope the author finishes it.?

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mikes77316 from Really like this bit - but how to use a drill stop Very happy with the bit, but I want to assure that while drilling I don't go past a particular ring. I currently have painter's tape just above the last step I want to drill to, but I don't have a lot of confidence that it will last. I tried a zip tie but the head of the zip tie was too wide.

New website aims to help Ontarians by listing businesses that require proof of vaccination
SafeTO-Do has drawn its share of online hate, says Toronto lawyer who created website
A new website aims to help Ontarians safely navigate the rest of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing them with a list of businesses that have fully vaccinated staff or require customers to show proof of vaccination.
Brandon Mattalo, a Toronto lawyer who works mostly in commercial litigation on a freelance basis, created the website, SafeTO-Do. It went live last week. A Twitter account, @safetodo, announces new additions to the website.
Mattalo said the idea came from a desire to help residents and businesses.
"I think people are cautiously optimistic entering into this third stage in Ontario. I think they appreciate having this information," he said on Sunday.
"People have different risk tolerances. I just wanted to make the information available so people can make decisions within their own individual risk tolerances," he added.
"I think people want this information. And I just thought centralizing it in an easy-to-look-at format and to look through would be useful to people. There isn't really guidance on what businesses should do."
Mattalo said the idea for the website arose because he wanted to find a gym that had vaccination requirements for staff and customers. Gyms opened on Friday when Ontario entered Step 3 of the province's reopening plan.
The website launched after GoodLife Fitness announced this week it would not require proof of vaccination from its staff and members.
'It wasn't meant to be anything political'
Mattalo, however, says he has received his share of negativity online in response to his newly launched website.
He said he has received messages from those opposed to the use of face masks to prevent transmission of the virus, those opposed to the use of vaccination to develop immunity against infectious disease, and those opposed to the concept of a vaccination passport, a document that is proof that the holder has received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Those opposed to lockdown measures in Ontario also send him messages.
Some people who messaged him threatened to target the businesses on list, saying they would not patronize them and would give them bad online reviews.
"It wasn't meant to be anything political," he said. "At first, there seemed to be a lot of negativity to it. But then it's kind of died down now. I think it was a lot of online trolls type of stuff. It's a lot more positive now."
Restaurant experiences backlash to vaccine policy plan
Jacob Wharton-Shukster, owner of Restaurant Chantecler, a French restaurant and butcher shop in Toronto, said he is considering asking customers who wish to sit one of six indoor bar seats in his establishment to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. His business is one of 19 listed on the website.
A comment he made on Twitter about the plan prompted "a few positive comments but mostly really aggressive, negative comments."
Wharton-Shukster said he replied to the comments in a measured and balanced fashion but the responses to his replies were "not in good faith."
He said it's the responsibility of the Ontario government to provide public health guidance to businesses about whether or not they should require staff and customers to provide proof of vaccination.
"The government's inaction has caused us to have to enact policy ourselves. They have passed the political football on from government, with whom the responsibility should lie, to the individual and to the business owners, which is incredibly unfair," he said.
"That has placed us in a situation where we have to bear the burden and the brunt of force from the very vocal minority of folks who are against vaccination and against public health."
Wharton-Shukster said it's "frightening" to have his business threatened.
Businesses can clarify or remove information on website
The SafeTO-Do website says: "This is a list of places in Ontario that have vaccine policies for customers and/or announcements about their staff's vaccination status, so you can make an informed decision about where you feel safe visiting."
The website lists the city in which a business is located, its type of business, name, notes about its vaccination status, policy and customer requirements, website address and a link to an online announcement that the business has made about its vaccination policies.
Business owners listed on the website are able to make suggestions, clarify the information presented, or have their names removed by sending Twitter messages to the website.

Florida lawmakers have begun continue by having a proposition to revamp guidelines for the payday-loan industry, enabling clients to borrow bigger levels of cash over longer periods of time.
Your house Insurance & Banking Subcommittee unanimously authorized the modifications Wednesday, each and every day after having a Senate committee backed the Senate variation. The proposition, to some extent, will allow a type that is new of” loan that may achieve $1,000 and get paid back over 60 to 3 months.
В»RELATED: the most recent in Florida governmental news
Supporters state the modifications are expected, at the least in component, due to federal laws slated to simply simply just simply take impact in 2019 in the forms of smaller-dollar, shorter-term loans created by payday loan providers in Florida вЂ” though a federal agency www.personalbadcreditloans.net/reviews/my-payday-loan-review stated this week it will probably reconsider the laws. Customer teams such as for example AARP and Florida Legal Services, but, oppose the proposed legislation.
Your house bill received debate that is lengthy, with lawmakers saying pay day loans perform a crucial role for several low-income individuals who may possibly not have good credit and get strike with unexpected costs.
“the products are essential in a few of our districts, and these items help people get from payday to payday,” Rep. Sean Shaw, a Democrat whom stated he represents probably the most economically depressed section of Tampa. “Yes, it is maybe maybe perhaps not perfect. You can find people whoever spending plan calls for this type of item.”
But Alice Vickers, legal counsel when it comes to non-profit Florida Alliance for customer Protection, described high-cost pay day loans as being a “debt trap” that individuals move to if they want cash fast вЂ” perhaps without comprehending the ultimate quantities they will certainly repay.
“we believe that individuals frequently head to payday advances they don’t determine the ability to repay,” Vickers said because they can get the loans in 10 minutes, and the main problem with that is.
Under present state legislation, borrowers could possibly get payday advances up to $500 for periods of seven to 31 times, in accordance with a home staff analysis. In repaying the loans, borrowers face $5 “verification” fees plus fees as much as 10 % regarding the loan amounts. Generally, the deals include borrowers post-dating checks that the lenders hold for durations until they may be paid back.
The federal customer Financial Protection Bureau year that is last laws including needing payday loan providers to look for the cap cap ability of borrowers to settle such short-term loans, the home analysis stated. Those laws are slated to simply just just take impact in August 2019.
The proposed state legislation, supported by payday loan providers such as for instance Amscot Financial Inc. and Advance America, would offer an opportunity in order to make loans that will perhaps maybe perhaps perhaps not are categorized as the latest regulations that are federal. The proposed “installment” loans could be needed to have regards to 60 to 3 months, with maximum levels of $1,000. Borrowers would spend fees as much as 8 % of this outstanding balances on a biweekly foundation.
However the future for the regulations that are federal murky this week since the customer Financial Protection Bureau stated it’s going to start an activity to “reconsider” the laws. The move arrived after Mick Mulvaney, the spending plan manager for President Donald Trump, had been called to lead the bureau. The bureau relocated ahead utilizing the laws under Richard Cordray, an appointee of previous President Barack Obama.
The federal reconsideration received just moving conversation during Wednesday’s home Insurance & Banking subcommittee conference. As an indication regarding the stakes mixed up in issue, Amscot has 11 registered legislative lobbyists, including state that is former and Congressman Kendrick Meek.
The home bill is sponsored by Rep. James give, R-Tampa, and Minority Leader Janet Cruz, a Tampa Democrat whom talked about growing up along with her divorced mom, who sometimes needed seriously to head to companies that offered similar forms of short-term loans to simply help protect costs.
“there are numerous instructors that have through the summertime likely to Amscot and getting $500 into the summer time if they are no longer working,” Cruz stated. “We explore individuals and now we discuss this sort that is predatory of, but where on earth do we get? Where do each goes?”

Jamal Musiala has turned down a new deal at Bayern Munich as he eyes a summer move to the Premier League.
Manchester City and Liverpool, as Daily Star Sport revealed last month, head the queue for Musiala.
The Premier League heavyweights made recent scouting trips to watch Musiala against Bayer Leverkusen.
At that time Bayern’s £150,000-a-week new contract offer for midfielder Musiala was still on the table.
But it is understood he has since informed the Bundesliga giants he will not be signing it – fuelling speculation he will leave the club in July.
City were made aware of that decision last week and are increasingly confident of winning the battle for the 21-year-old.
But Liverpool are not the only English outfit threatening Pep Guardiola’s plans to secure the services of the playmaker, capped 25 times by Germany.
Chelsea are also showing a strong interest in their one-time youth product and are expected to enter the equation as soon as the transfer window opens at the end of the season.

Celtic star says he's "living the dream" on international duty alongside Real Madrid hero
Celtic star Josip Juranovic has stated that he’s “living the dream” this week after qualifying for the World Cup with Croatia alongside the likes of Real Madrid hero Luka Modric.
Juranovic was in both starting XIs selected by manager Zlatko Dalic for the current international break. The Celtic man impressed in the 7-1 rout against Malta before catching the eye again in yesterday’s 1-0 success over Russia.
The Celtic star has been operating in his more suited right-back position after spending most of the season playing on the left at Parkhead.
And as he secured his spot at the World Cup alongside Modric and Zenit star Dejan Lovren, Juranovic was in great spirits as he took part in post-match media duties.
As quoted by Slobodna Dalmacija, Josip said: “We presented very good football, the conditions were especially difficult in front of our loyal fans. I believe they enjoyed it.
“There was a special energy in the locker room, we knew we would score. We believed it would open and we deservedly go to Qatar. I live my dream, I will keep it as long as possible. Croatia is growing from game to game, we will be real at the World Cup. And what an atmosphere there was at Poljud. In one word – divine!”
Celtic need as many players back from international duty in positive spirits as possible
These are brilliant comments from Juranovic. They show a player who’s feeling extremely good about himself and his current situation. That’s the kind of energy we want coming back to Celtic Park this week.
Celtic have around 10 first-team players away with their international sides. It’s likely that some will come back to Glasgow having experienced disappointing blows. So the more we get back buzzing about the future, the better a place we’ll be in.
Interesting of course that Juranovic continues to operate at right-back for his country too. Even more interesting that he’s one of the standouts when he plays in his natural position also.
Ange Postecoglou has spent the last several months trying to shoehorn Juranovic into the left-back role. Presumably, this is because he doesn’t want to drop Anthony Ralston and feels as though he’s getting too much out of the Scottish right-back.
But the truth is that Postecoglou will need to find some way to get Juranovic back into his favoured role. This is clearly where he feels most comfortable in.
And as he continues to go from strength to strength with Croatia, it makes you wonder how long it’s going to be before Postecoglou follow’s Dalic’s lead.


I'm considering upgrading my GF Tarpon to a 27.5" wheelset. Is this possible? And how will affect the ride? In general, I've heard people say no, and some people say yes (nothing specific about this bike, though).
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Why do you want to do this?
The problem with switching wheel sizes is normally the brake mounting for rim brakes, and the tire clearances. I have a feeling that you won't be able to line up the rim brakes when you do this (if you had disc brakes, this would be simpler - if the rotor fits, it works). The following thread here says that Velo Orange's Grand Cru canti has enough adjustment for swapping 26" wheels to 650b wheels on some bikes (probably, but would require switching to short pull brake levers) and Paul's MotoBMX brakes may work as well. Your current brakes may or may not have enough adjustment to do this. This is all assuming of course you can even get the 650b wheel in with your desired tire. You could run a staggered setup (650b front, 26" rear) with a new fork at the worst, but this is expensive and likely would require you to adjust things due to the height difference.
A switch from 26" to 650b will move your bottom bracket up 1/2 an inch.
I think this conversion would be largely pointless, especially on a cheap bike like a Gary Fisher Tarpon. You're better off picking a better tire for your purposes unless you REALLY need the extra half inch of bottom bracket height (in which case, you should probably get a different bike). You'd have to buy new wheels and possibly new brakes, which puts you a good way towards just selling the bike and buying a 27.5" er to begin with.
On the other hand, Sheldon Brown points out that the 700c to 650b conversion can be useful.
I don't believe this is possible for a number of reasons even if the back wheel fits:
For the cost of a new fork as wheel set you'd likely be able to find a comparably spec'd 650B.

By Stuart Jeanne Bramhall, M.D.
Open Salon blogs, June 7, 2011
In my view, the only solution to the mess “corporatization” has made of the U.S. health care system is to follow the example of other industrialized countries and establish a single, nationally funded health program, like the American Health Security Act of 2011 that Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative McDermott introduced last month.
Three decades of cost studies, including research by the Congressional Budget Office and America’s foremost health policy experts, show this could be accomplished quite easily by expanding Medicare. Under the Medicare program, doctors, hospitals and labs bill the federal government (instead of a private insurance company) for health services to seniors and the disabled. Expanding this program to all age groups would result in a streamlined, efficient system comparable to the Canadian Medicare program, in which doctors, hospitals, labs and pharmacies bill the government for the health services they deliver. U.S. health providers, who currently bill hundreds of different private insurance plans, would simply bill Medicare for all patients, as they currently do for their 65+ patients.
This would immediately take nearly a trillion dollars out of America’s $3 trillion health care bill, as it would massively reduce the cut private insurance companies take for profit, CEO salaries, marketing, administration and billing. Under the current system, this administrative waste siphons off 31 percent of every health care dollar. In contrast to the 3.6 percent it costs to administer the Medicare program (see this 2003 study).
Reducing the Cost of Prescription Drugs
The experience in other industrialized countries is that this model also drastically reduces the cost of prescription drugs. The purchasing power enjoyed by a single agency purchasing medications for millions of citizens forces pharmaceutical companies to agree to major cost concessions. In fact it is the one true example in health care delivery where market competition leads to price reductions – especially when four or five manufacturers are producing eight virtually identical drugs for the same condition. The main reason prescription drugs are so much cheaper in Canada and Europe than the U.S. is because of the bulk discounts their hard bargaining has won from drug companies (in the U.S., the Pentagon and Veterans Administration use their purchasing power to negotiate similar bulk discounts).
It Works in New Zealand
This model works exceptionally well in New Zealand, where the government has set up a semi-autonomous corporation called PHAMAC to contain prescription drug costs (which are one of the main reasons developed countries are blowing out their health budgets). This model works exceptionally well in New Zealand, where the government has set up a semi-autonomous corporation called PHAMAC to contain prescription drug costs (which are one of the main reasons developed countries are blowing out their health budgets). See the 2004 Australian Health Review.
In New Zealand, medications on PHARMAC’s approved medication list are subsidized, with the patient paying a $3 co-pay. The formulary consists mainly of generic drugs, where they are available, and for brand name drugs where the manufacturer has agreed to a volume discount. If the drug company won’t agree to a discount, the drug doesn’t appear on the PHARMAC formulary. One example is Pfizer, which refuses to discount the price of the antidepressant Zoloft. Because patients must pay the full cost of a Zoloft prescription at the pharmacy, it’s very rarely prescribed in New Zealand.
Obviously there are exceptions. If credible medical research indicates a new, non-discounted drug fills a distinct clinical need, it will be included on the formulary as a “special authority” drug. This means the prescription will only be subsidized if the doctor fills out a “special authority” application certifying that the patient meets specific diagnostic criteria and has failed to respond to one or two comparable drugs on the formulary.
The Envy of the Industrial World (and under attack – see * below)
Thanks to PHARMAC New Zealand, unlike most of the industrial world, has been relatively successful in limiting the growth of prescription costs to the rate of inflation – despite a significant increase in demand. As the Australian Health Review describes, its formation in 1993 was followed by near constant litigation from drug companies, which meant that legal costs accounted for 18 percent of its budget in early years. Drug companies complain that New Zealand is failing to pay its fair share of research costs, a claim I find pretty self-serving, given record profits the pharmaceutical industry recorded in 2010 (averaging more 15-20% of revenue), as well as the billions devoted to “me-too” drugs and marketing (see my last blog), criminal penalties for fraudulent business practices and exorbitant CEO salaries.
Especially as the taxpayers funded the research, at the National Institutes of Health and Veterans Administration, for some of the pharmaceutical industry’s most profitable drugs (for example, Taxol and several HIV drugs). After covering the lion’s share of the costs (i.e. research), the federal government turned these discoveries over to drug companies to be mass produced – and earn them billions of dollars in profits.
*A recent Wikileaks cable release reveals New Zealand’s National-led government is contemplating scrapping PHARMAC as a condition of a new free-trade agreement with the U.S. See this story.
Dr. Stuart Jeanne Bramhall, past president Health Care for All Washington, currently resides in New Zealand. In October 2002, Dr. Bramhall accepted a locum tenens position as a consultant psychiatrist in Christchurch, New Zealand, after third-party reimbursement problems caused her Seattle practice of 25 years to become insolvent.

Parents, take note: Google will begin phasing out a parental controls program on its Chrome browser this Friday.
"Supervised Users," which launched in beta in 2013, allowed for individuals to supervise other Chrome users -- like their children -- in order to limit their access to certain websites.
Google told its users that it is "deprecating" the program as it makes way for something else.
"We've learned a lot in these four years, and heard feedback about how we can improve the experience for you and your children," the company said in an email to users of the program this week. "Based on this feedback, we are working on a new set of Chrome OS supervision features specifically for the needs of families to launch later this year."
On Jan. 12, individuals will no longer be able to create new accounts or add new users. (They will be able to use existing Chrome Supervised Users on Chromebooks, Windows, Mac and Linux.)
On Jan. 15, individuals will no longer be able to change existing settings for supervised users.
In the email, the company also pointed individuals to Family Link, a newly launched program that allows users to create Google accounts for children and manage their browsing experience in Chrome on Android devices.
Family Link is currently only available in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States.

Dizengoff or Dizi’s as it’s affectionately known, is and always has been, a place to be seen. TV personalities, D list celebs and the odd Lord of the Rings face mingle with us plebs. Fortunately, they also do good coffee and a fine breakfast. This Ponsonby cafe has been churning out Jewish-ish food for years, think chopped liver, bagels and salmon, so if you’re hanging out for some streaky bacon, this aint the place to come. The decor of this institution is plain- simple white walls, wooden floors and tables which are never empty (there are more upstairs if the bottom is full).
The seven of us tear in for brunch on a Sunday and manage to nab a table downstairs after the in-laws graciously give up their usual haunt upstairs to Lorde and her posse. The menu at Dizengoff has always had me panicked. It’s a white board at the back of the cafe which perfunctorily lists what’s on offer. Chopped liver. Israel Plate. Mushrooms. Jewish chicken salad. Sounds easy enough but what does the chopped liver come with? Is it just chopped liver on a plate? Do you get bread? Is there perhaps some pickled somethings to accompany it? You get my drift? So when we are presented with individual, comprehensive menus after we sit down, I am in clover. Apparently, after years of diners asking question after question about the succinct menu, they’ve decided to do something about it.
The piccolos (Allpress beans) are superb- creamy and strong. I peruse the menu out of interest but I’m really only here for one thing. The mushrooms. I decide the 1/2 and 1/2 will satisfy, mushrooms with scrambled eggs on sourdough and a dollop of pesto. TBS having always been a salmon bagel kinda man decides the salmon eggs is worth a go.
The mushies at Dizengoff are legendary. They’re creamy and tangy and don’t leave you feeling sick with gluttony after you’ve polished off the lot. It’s been five years, but they don’t disappoint. The mellowed tartness of the balsamic balances the richness of the funghi as well as the luxuriously silky scrambled eggs. The parsley pesto adds a distinct earthiness to the dish. I wolf down the lot.
The salmon eggs are served in a similar way, on thinly sliced sourdough and accompanied by pesto. Finely flaked hot smoked salmon has been folded through the eggs and again the scramble is light but luscious with what is no doubt a tonne of butter.
Service at Dizengoff is slightly aloof in a hipster kind of way and it can be hard to get a table but the consistently good food and great coffee trumps these minor quibbles. An institution, and rightly so.
Good to know:
Salmon eggs $15.50
1/2 and 1/2 $15.50
256 Ponsonby Road

Monday to Friday 6:30am to 5:00pm

Without human kindness, the world of people would be destroyed in a matter of minutes – David Sainz # Columnista7días
This human world would end in a jiffy without kindness, without people who are capable of love and care. Adela Cortina says that one of the problems of the media is that they make evil universal and absolute, they normalize it so much that it is easy to believe that all human beings are perverted. It may be that one of the functions of the media is to be critical and perhaps its purpose is to condemn, to monitor, to point fingers, to harass, as Revista Cambio has done these days with the former governor of Boyacá, Carlos Amaya.
However, the mere idea that humans are evil, transmitted by the media, can cut off other voices, other stories, where goodness plays a fundamental role.
Now, I suggest that we think about all the acts of kindness we have done in the last week. Perhaps it is difficult for us, we are used to living in a deficit, that is, what we want to achieve in what we do not have and what is not already in our life. The paradoxical thing about the situation is that there may come a day when we begin to believe that the moment we did not cherish was the best of our time in this paradise.
Personally, my physical health has taken a hit this week. Sapna did not come to meet me. There is weakness in the legs. The cough has changed my voice. The air feels cold. The head is carrying a heavy load, very painful. However, I have felt the human kindness of those who have cared for my food, and have managed to bring bread to my table even from afar. Or who has come to watch over me, especially with food, the way we take care of each other, through food. These acts of kindness have lightened my condition, as well as the recognition that I can only live with others.
Yesterday, I had to go to the emergency room, the doctor who examined me was kind in his treatment. He took the time to check me out, and gave me self-care advice: drink water, eat well, be patient, don’t stress because that doesn’t help recovery.
I also get messages from friends who care about me. Likewise, there are others who know that it is very quiet to spend the day in recovery and that quiet can be hard to come by, so, by sending me a short text to read, a song to listen to, a poem to look at, inspired me.
Now, if it were not for the kindness of most of the people we meet on a daily basis, this life would be more difficult than ever. Piedad Bonnet wrote in his book What Has No Name that when his son Daniel committed suicide in New York, he had to travel to the city to take ownership of the situation and fulfill his duties with his beloved son. After the funeral, there were some friends who filled the refrigerator with food, so that when she and her family remembered to eat, they took out only the desired portion and reheated it.
Perhaps there is a need to think a little and recognize that the love and affection of many people means that human life is not destroyed in a few seconds.

Santiago de Calatrava
Santiago de Calatrava is situated in the southwest of the district of Campiña, on the provincial border with Córdoba. Its name comes from the fact that it previously belonged to the Order of the Knights of Calatrava.
The area is 100% dedicated to agriculture, predominantly olives with arable crops in decline.
The local economy is almost exclusively sustained on agriculture and olive oil production.
Highlights of the town’s monumental heritage include the Iglesia Parroquial de la Virgen de la Estrella (Parochial Church of the Virgin of the Star), a Baroque temple from the beginning of the 18th century. Also worth a visit is the Local Agriculture Chamber, a Renaissance building from the 16th century, and the Plaza de la Iglesia (Church Square) which features an iron fence with symbols of the Order of Calatrava. In a corner of the town, there is also a fascinating baroque fountain.
