[ Carlstadt, New Jersey USA ]
Triple Five Companies has announced securing a USD $1.67 billion private financing arrangement, which along with a public bond issuance, will provide the funding to finally complete American Dream mega mall.
From 2014 posts:
At least two large issues loom over completion of American Dream Meadowlands.
The first has been assumed resolved, a labor agreement by and between Triple Five Group (the developer) and the Bergen County Building and Construction Trades Council.
But East Rutherford has not yet voted on whether to issue up to $524 million in bonds to help in financing the project. Local government officials wish to better understand the risk of default with such bonds.
The Triple Five Group of Companies assumed control of development of the long-delayed American Dream Meadowlands (at one time known as Xanadu) in July 2013. The opening date for American Dream Meadowlands, is set tentatively as late 2016.
Facilities at American Dream Meadowlands will include:
- 300,000+ square foot DreamWorks indoor attraction
- A water park of 225,000+ square feet
- Big Snow America indoor ski slope, at 180,000 square feet, the first indoor ski and snowboard park in the Western Hemisphere.
- An observation wheel with 26 climate-controlled gondolas provide 15+ guests/car with 25 minute panoramic view of the New York City skyline
- A performing arts theater of 65,000 square feet, and 2,400 to 3,000 seats.
- An NHL-scale ice rink for recreational hockey, figure skating lessons and public skating.
- Cinema facility of 180,000 square feet and 5,000 seats.
- An aquarium
- An Adventure Golf, 18-hole miniature golf course
- An assortment of dining options, some 150,000 square feet
The process of developing American Dream Meadowlands dates to 2003, when the project was first proposed as Meadowlands Xanadu by the Mills Corporation. After the bankruptcy of that company in 2007, the project was taken over by Colony Capital In May 2009, construction stalled due in part to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers.
The Triple Five Group of Companies has extensive experience with mega mall development and operation. Their West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, which opened in 1981, was the blueprint for Triple Five’s Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minn., which followed in 1992. Few American developers have experience with retail combined with major integrated entertainment facilities.

President Jacob Zuma’s address in Cape Town was disrupted by chaos and panic created by ANCYL.
ANCYL is blamed to be the cause of the chaos on grounds of their on-going conflict with ANC. Fights started to break out with chairs being thrown at each other. One of the media reports also got hurt in the process. Police later informed that another media personnel was also injured and taken to the hospital.
After taking the situation in control, the spokesperson of Police Vish Naidoo talked to the media and informed that two alleged trouble creators have been taken into custody. More arrests will be made once National Prosecuting Authority takes charge.
He added, “A fight broke out in the crowd. Our members intervened immediately and arrested two people. One of the guys allegedly threw a chair and a journalist was injured. The matter was handled quickly and the president’s speech was not disrupted.”
Several have accused the ANCYL to have initiated the fights. However, ANCYL claims not to have done so.
ANCYL spokesperson Floyd Shivambu said, “This notion is conclusively incorrect and spread by opponents of ANC unity, particularly as it celebrates 100 years of existence. The ANCYL is concerned with the manner in which ANC members in the Western Cape disrupted the lecture. The… league condemns such actions and calls on all members of the ANC to respect leadership and choose correct platforms to express their frustrations and disapproval of some among the leadership.”

I'll start by saying, at least you made it to tripadvisor to check first, I so very much wish that I had done the same, please heed the reviews here.
This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in in my entire life.
We booked via Olotels.com and the information on the website informed us that the hotel had a SECURE Car Park which could be used for a fee of £10 per night.
I figured this was a fair price to pay for knowing my car was safe and secure.
We arrived at the hotel and pulled on to the driveway in front of it. I pulled into an empty spot blocking nobody, and left the car there while we went inside, assuming I would be directed to their secure area.
They don't have one.
It's a big fat lie.
The 'secure' car park is actually their driveway, which is not gated and has no security at all. The wall alongside the street is low enough for someone to reach over and smash your car window as they were walking past, should they choose to do so.
If they can't provide the security they advertise, they shouldn't be charging.
Not only that, but as you walk into the hotel there's a very large, unmissable sign making it very clear that the hotel accepts no responsibility for damage or theft to your car whilst it is stored in their 'secure' area.
When we entered the hotel I was asked to move my car behind another one that was parked, which I did, blocking it in.
We were about 20 minutes early for check in, and our room wasn't ready, our fault, not theirs, they had it ready in about 5 minutes, which was fine.
The hotel itself is not at all welcoming, the paintwork is marked, dirty and chipped. A coat of paint would cheer it all up so much. We went upstairs to our room (I have to point out that I have now read through several of the reviews here, and the person who has written a happy review regarding room 207 is apparently incredibly easily pleased... We had room 207, and did not share their experience in the slightest.) The staircase and hallways are just as tired and dirty looking as the main area, crayon up the walls, dirt, chipped paint... The rooms must've been in the process of being cleaned as we got there, the hallways were just completely strewn with dirty towels. It's not so hard to get a hamper or something just to make it look a little more tidy.
Upon entering our room we were a little surprised at the size, I don't know how much room would be required to swing a cat, but I doubt that that room had enough. On the wooden headboard above the bed it were 2 wall mounted reading lamps. Directly beneath each lamp the headboard was blackened and burned, and BOTH lamps were hanging on wires from the wall. One worked, the other didn't but we didn't have the working one on long; it didn't look safe.
I'm sure that they knew about the lamp situation, but we made them aware of it at reception all the same.
In the room was an empty wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a tv, a kettle, cups, tea, coffee, milk, etc.
The bathroom was adequate, a sink, a shower, a toilet. We only had one or two problems in there. First, a couple of tiles were not grouted into the floor correctly and everytime you stood on them they shifted under your feet, and second... We were convinced at first that we had no hot water. As it turns out, it just took about 5 minutes for it to warm up. When it does warm up, it's lovely and hot. My partner had to get up on a morning, turn on the shower, then shave, use the toilet, brush his teeth, before it was warm.
The bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean. Sadly, what made the night a bad one was that all that it had on it was a bottom sheet, a thin topsheet and an equally thin 'blanket' I don't know what else to call it, it really wasn't a blanket, there was nothing to it, it offered no warmth at all and the first night I ended up wearing jeans and a jumper to stay warm.
For the second night we asked at reception for a spare blanket (referring back to my earlier mention of the wardrobe being empty... Who doesn't provide a spare blanket??? ) We were handed a duvet, uncovered and a little bit suspiciously stained...
After taking our bags to our room we headed back downstairs and were about to leave the hotel to go look around London, the receptionist stopped us, asking if we were going out and looking very surprised by this idea (kind of gave me the notion that it's mainly a dirty weekend getaway type hotel, people check in and tend to stay in their rooms...) We explained that yes, we were going outside, and I was promptly asked to move my car, since it was blocking in the red one!
After I pointed out that he had, not 15 minutes earlier, instructed me to park it there, behind the red one, the receptionist decided it was fine where it was.
The dining area is not adequate for the number of guests. They have 4 tables. On our first morning we shared a table with another couple, while other guests were forced to sit and wait for space.
The breakfast was... laughable. If I didn't laugh I might cry...
There's a sign up that says 'continental breakfast - self serve'.
I don't know what makes it continental... Maybe the cheese slices.
Breakfast consists of: Cornflakes (no other cereal), apples, oranges, bananas, tesco's own low fat yoghurts, apple juice, orange juice, milk, tea, coffee, butter, marmalade and toast.
Oh, and cheese slices.
There's also a food hygiene certificate on the wall which rates it a 3 - generally satisfactory.
I don't think I'd display that on my wall.....
The room was functional, but badly maintained, lacking in a few necessities, but overall, clean.
The breakfast was pointless.
The staff were verging on rude at times, for example when the woman in the kitchen put some bread in the toaster for my partner, then wandered away and had a conversation with another employee, ignoring the pop of the toaster. My partner left it another minute or so and then got up to enter the 'kitchen' and retrieve his own toast, at which she gave him a very annoyed look, bustled past and handed him his cold toast...
I would never come back here.
If you're reading this review to see whether or not you should book, I strongly advise that you don't.
The only recommendation I would make for this hotel is a change of ownership.
But if you do read this and then go book it anyway... You've only yourself to blame ;)

Roy Cohn personified the dark arts of 20th-century American politics, turning empty vessels into dangerous demagogues--from Senator Joseph McCarthy to his final project, Donald J. Trump. The film unearths the origins of the seditious right wing's ascent, revealing how a deeply troubled master manipulator shaped our current political world. WHERE'S MY ROY COHN? is a Sony Pictures Classics release, runs 97 minutes, is in English, and is rated PG-13.
The consensus is that Roy Cohn was a ruthless, unethical lawyer and a despicable man, though he had admirers, our current President among them. Cohn's role in the McCarthy hearings and the ascendance of the power hungry and unsavory, including John Gotti, Richard Nixon and Trump, I chronicled in Matt Tyrnauer’s doc. Armed with juicy archival material, the devil incarnate as a subject, commentators who don’t hold back, it has one helluva of a wicked tale to tell.

Consumer Reviews did you know that joins tony robbins. Brian tracy, bob proctor. Robert kiyosaki, and many other successful people? they all know hot to use the power of the subconscious.

We prefer not follow and invite. And is great because it means struggle. Consumer Reviews fight for your dreams is not necessary. Nor the necessary experience to lack. And suffer. All you need to attract into your life. Everything you need to open the doors of the universe. Giving you a chance to. Everything you need to do is have a clear picture and a willingness to have you. Why do so many people fail when trying to activate the power of sub conscious mind? this happens because people do not spend enough time thinking about what they want in their lives. Consumer Reviews a person can have a strong desire to succeed. But did not give clear instructions of what he means when he says he wants to succeed. First, it means that people do not even know what they want. Imagine, you come to the restaurant and the waiter says: you-"i want to eat" w "what do you eat?" you.
"i know, i'm hungry and want to eat something" waiter will bring something and not be offended by the waiter. Because i had to give him clear instructions to.

Thursday last week, I went to the Public Library Association or PLA.
It was in Philadelphia, which was an easy train ride.
The first thing I saw was the Random House table which had Starters by Lissa Price on display.
I also saw some other apocalypsie titles including Little Dog Lost (the cutest picture book ever!) by Monica Carnesi and Darker Still by Leanne Renee Hieber.
Unraveling ARCs made an appearance at the HarperCollins Children's booth and a at the Follet booth.
I also tried to take some pictures when I walked around, but apparently I was walking too fast because most of them came out blurry.
I did get a picture of this lovely Hunger Games poster.
And even more exciting, I snagged ARCs of Masque of Red Death by Bethany Griffin, which I cannot wait to read, and I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga which looks deliciously disturbing.

Grief changes us. The pain sculpts us into someone who… Understands more deeply, Hurts more often, Appreciates more quickly, Cries more easily,Hope more desperately, and Loves more openly.
The changes we experience after the loss of a child do not stop at the parents. Our child’s siblings experience it too. For the last day of this project I thought I needed to show the grief that my children experience as well. They know far to well the pain that losing someone can bring. Just like us they will always feel like something is missing.
For the older boys they miss the smiles from the baby sister and the memories they made. They worry that they will forget her. They strive to include her on school projects and pictures. They share stories with their younger siblings. They fear touching a cold baby hand. The love they share with their younger siblings is far more deep than anyone can ever imagine. They hold these little ones very close. They aren’t afraid to show their friends just how much they love their little brothers and sisters.
When it comes to the little siblings, they often bring up their big sister. Their grief will be different than ours or their older brothers. Their’s will happen when they understand they will never meet their sister on Earth. They already ask about her and when they can see her. They want to visit the cemetery but don’t yet understand why they only see a picture. Some day we will create a shadow box for them and tell them all about her life. For now we keep it simple…she is their sister, we can only see her in pictures, and we can only visit her at the cemetery.
Our little family understands more about love and loss than so many. We hurt more often and cry together. We appreciate the small things, the big things, the silly things, the everyday things. We hope our dreams and prayers are answered so often. We love with all our heart. We hug, we kiss, we hold each other no matter who is watching because we know how hard the storm hurt and we know the hope we found. Together we will get through this and help others along the way.

Arranger: Benny Green .
Pianist Benny Green delivers his first album of all-original material with 2013's Magic Beans. Joining Green here is the superb rhythm section of bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington. Green has long evinced the influence of such jazz giants as Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell, and Magic Beans is no exception, with cuts like "Flying Saucer" and "Paraphrase" bringing to mind the angular bop lines of those artists. Similarly, as directly stated in the song titles, "Harold Land," "Kenny Drew," and "Jackie McLean" are also clearly on Green's mind, with the aforementioned tracks truly conjuring their titles' inspirations. Elsewhere, Green reveals an introspective, atmospheric side with the lyrical ballads "Vanished" and "La Portuguesa." Ultimately, Magic Beans is an urbane and swinging mix of straight-ahead small-group jazz that showcases Green's inventive original compositions and lithe, tradition-steeped jazz chops. ~ Matt Collar

~ Legacy Keeper: Hypatia ~
Ancient Alexandria’s Great Female Scholar
One day on the streets of Alexandria, Egypt, in the year 415, a mob of Christian zealots led by Peter the Lector accosted a woman’s carriage and dragged her from it, through the streets, and into a church, where they stripped her and beat her to death with roofing tiles. They then tore her body apart and burned it. Who was this woman and what was her crime?
Hypatia (c350-370 ~ 415 AD) was one of the last great thinkers of ancient Alexandria, Egypt, and one of the first women to study and teach mathematics, astronomy and philosophy. An avowed paganist (in those days pagan meant one who practiced a religion other than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam) in a time of religious strife, Hypatia was also one of the first women to study math, astronomy and philosophy. Though she is remembered more for her violent death, her dramatic life is a fascinating lens through which we may view the plight of science in an era of religious and sectarian conflict.
She was the daughter of Theon, a famous philosopher in his own right, who raised her as the son he never had, and from that profound upbringing she became a prominent thinker of the Neoplatonic School of Alexandria where she taught philosophy and astronomy, and was made head of that school when in her 30's.
As she wrote commentaries of her own, she always stressed that Neoplatonic philosophers must introduce the highest moral standards to political life and act for the benefit of their fellow citizens. She taught this principal to a succession of students from all over the Mediterranean areas from her own home where she constructed astrolabes, a portable astronomical calculator that would be used until the 19th century, and hydrometers, an instrument used for measuring the relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy and typically calibrated and graduated with one or more scales such as specific gravity; and then taught her many students how to make their own. She also taught them the writings of Plato and Aristotle.
Ancient sources record that Hypatia was widely beloved by both pagans and Christians alike and she exerted profound influence with the political elite in Alexandria in troubled times. Although she herself was a pagan she was tolerant towards Christians and taught many Christian students, including Synesius, the future bishop of Ptolemais. As well known and loved as she was she would give impromptu lectures wherever she was to crowds of avid listeners.
Towards the end of her life, Hypatia was an adviser to Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was then in the midst of a political feud with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Because of her friendship with Orestes rumors spread accusing her of preventing him from reconciling with Cyril and in March 415 AD she was murdered.
Her murder shocked the empire and transformed her into a "martyr for philosophy", leading future Neoplatonists such as Damascius to become increasingly fervent in their opposition to Christianity, especially that of the Roman Catholic church.
Many untruths of Hypatia have been stated in books and movies through the years. Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth–often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.
Socrates, a contemporary of Hypatia, described her thus:
'There was a woman at Alexandria named Hypatia, daughter of the philosopher Theon, who made such attainments in literature and science, as to far surpass all the philosophers of her own time. Having succeeded to the school of Plato and Plotinus, she explained the principles of philosophy to her auditors, many of whom came from a distance to receive her instructions. On account of the self-possession and ease of manner which she had acquired in consequence of the cultivation of her mind, she not infrequently appeared in public in the presence of the magistrates. Neither did she feel abashed in going to an assembly of men. For all men on account of her extraordinary dignity and virtue admired her the more.'
Hypatia has become a symbol for feminists, a martyr to pagans and atheists and a character in fiction. Voltaire used her to condemn the church and religion.
Neither paganism nor scholarship died in Alexandria with Hypatia, but they certainly took a blow. “Almost alone, virtually the last academic, she stood for intellectual values, for rigorous mathematics, ascetic Neoplatonism, the crucial role of the mind, and the voice of temperance and moderation in civic life,” Deakin wrote. She may have been a victim of religious fanaticism, but Hypatia remains an inspiration even in modern times.
During the Middle Ages, Hypatia was co-opted as a symbol of Christian virtue.
During the Age of Enlightenment, she became a symbol of opposition to Catholicism.
In the nineteenth century, European literature romanticized her as "the last of the Hellenes".
In the twentieth century, Hypatia became seen as an icon for women's rights and a precursor to the feminist movement.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of robbing and assaulting a cab driver near Lynnwood earlier this month.
Our news partner, the Seattle Times, reports that Eric Johnson was arrested Thursday for investigation of first-degree robbery, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree assault. A second, unidentified suspect (below) is still being sought.
The incident happened around midnight Dec. 3, when the taxi driver was beaten by the two men and robbed of cash and credit cards near the 16600 block of Sixth Avenue West near Lynnwood, the Sheriff’s Office said. The two men then forced the cab driver, a 51-year-old man, to walk with them to a convenience store in the 200 block of 164th Street Southwest.

We’ll say this much for the US Congress: they’ve worked very hard to have earned every bit of the disdain people hurl at them. The last time we were talking about them, they were about to let student loan rates double, which ended up happening after they went on vacation. But, now they’re back and they sat down and actually did something useful, reaching a deal to bring the rates on loans back down from “may as well kill yourself” to merely “soul crushing.”
The Washington Post has the news, along with quotes about a bunch of political bickering that you couldn’t possibly care about. The important thing part: loan rates for students who borrow from the federal government through Stafford loans for undergrad education will be 3.86%, as compared to the 6.8% they were sitting at, and grad school loans will be set to 5.4%. Also, any future interest rate hikes will be capped at 8.25% for undergrad and 9.5% for grad students. And if you’ve taken out a loan since July 1, the rate will retroactively apply to your loan, and then lock in for the life of the loan, so you won’t get surprise hikes. Anyway, now that Congress has done this, they’re free to go back to trying to repeal Obamacare or sabotage really easy gun control legislation.

Eating More Berries & Greens May Support Heart & Brain Health
While the study does state that eating more plant-based and limiting foods high in saturated fat (and animal products in general) can help support brain and heart health, they specifically call attention to two groups of superfoods in the plant-based sphere: berries and green leafy vegetables.
The study focused on a particular style of plant-based eating known as the MIND diet, which was “developed as an intervention to help reduce cognitive decline and fight against Alzheimer’s and dementia,” according to certified dietitian and nutritionist Isabel Smith, R.D., CDN.
The new study, based on data from 2,512 participants, found that diets designed to help support heart health also had benefits for brain health. “Our findings highlight the importance of adherence to the MIND diet for a better cardiovascular health,” explained corresponding author Vanessa Xanthakis, Ph.D.
For a point of reference, this diet is a sort of blend between the immensely popular the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and was designed to help manage or prevent high blood pressure. And of course the Mediterranean diet has its origins in heart health research: it was studied while observing the diets and overall health of seven countries, in relation to heart disease risk. Therefore, it’s not a big jump to see how the diet could also lead to heart health benefits, even when that wasn’t the intent of the eating style.
The MIND diet has its own unique attributes, too. One of the key components, according to Smith, is the way this diet emphasizes leafy green vegetables—which the researchers call out. “A few star veggies include spinach, kale, and collard greens, which have been found to be particularly beneficial for brain health due to their source of folate, vitamin E, and carotenoids,” she shares.
Another food group the recent research notes is berries—another differentiating component of the MIND diet. “This diet emphasizes eating berries—specifically blueberries and strawberries—as the primary source of fruit and doesn’t emphasize any other fruit,” writes Smith, who further explains it specifically “suggests two or more servings of berries a week (perfect guidelines for a yummy antioxidant smoothie).”

The City Council voted Tuesday to double the rates at the city's parking lots and ramp but rejected hiring a parking manager to oversee those operations.
Under Councilman Sam Fruscione's approved parking scheme, the daily fee at all city parking lots and the ramp on Rainbow Boulevard South will increase to $10 from $5 from the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day. Also, monthly parking passes will go up to $40 from $30 March 1.
One resident urged councilmen Tuesday not to raise the rates, saying that would send the wrong message to visitors.
Last week, John Faso, the general manager of the Conference Center Niagara Falls said that people attending conferences would not pay $5 to park in the Rainbow Ramp because it is too dirty and dilapidated. He questioned whether people will pay $10 to park there.
Council members, however, said they need to increase revenue and want to charge the same amount -- $10 -- that visitors pay a couple blocks away in Niagara Falls State Park.
"If you have no money coming in, you can't improve [the ramp]," Council Chairman Charles Walker said. "Hopefully this increase will help."
The city owes $4.5 million for parking projects and spends more than $600,000 each year from the city's general fund to operate the lots. Fruscione said if the number of people using the city's lots this summer equals last year's total, the higher rates would increase revenue by $169,065 for a May through September total of $574,200.
Walker and Councilman Chris A. Robins said they would like a parking facilities manager to manage the revenue increase. Both voted Tuesday for Mayor Vince Anello's proposal to restore the position he created in 2004, which he says is needed to run the parking lots properly.
The $38,725-per-year job was eliminated from this year's budget, and Councilmen Fruscione, Lewis Rotella and Robert Anderson Jr. successfully voted to keep it out.
They argue that Anello's plan to pay for the position out of the already-reduced temporary line of the parking budget won't work because the city then won't have enough to pay seasonal workers.
City Controller Maria Brown has said she monitors temporary lines each month to make sure they stay within her projections, but apparently that didn't appease the three Council members.
Lou Cheff, the former parking facilities manager, has continued to work for the city as a temporary parking attendant since Jan. 1.
Also at the meeting, the Council voted to establish a municipal building construction committee to serve as a volunteer advisory board on the city's planned courthouse and police department building project.
The Council and city administration will choose three members each, while the Main Street Business and Professional Association will choose one. Recommendations are expected at the Council's Feb. 27 meeting.

If you’re craving something a little fancy, a little fun, and a little unexpected, we’ve got just the evening in mind. Become your own in-home mixologist by whipping up a few next-level whisky cocktail and recipe pairings. Impress your friends (and let’s be honest, yourself) by serving inspired duos that let the notes in the whisky and the flavours of the food work in harmony. These combos are perfect for your next outdoor garden party, date night, or even just a low-key solo happy hour at home. So, grab your cocktail shaker and get ready to make some great scotch whisky and food pairings.
WHAT GOES WITH SCOTCH?
Whisky food pairing can be a fun and creative endeavour. All it takes is a little knowledge of complementary and contrasting flavours. And luckily, scotch whisky works well with so many foods, so you really have a smorgasbord of ingredients to choose from. From fruits and sweet treats to meats and cheeses, it’s easy to experiment with scotch-food pairings. However, if you’re not sure where to begin, use some of these ideas to springboard your menu.
- Chocolate: milk chocolate works well with nutty and fruity scotch such as The Glenlivet 15 Year Old Single Malt.
- Fruits: Match papaya, pineapple, and mango with The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve for a truly tropical hit.
- Seafood: Foods such as prawn, crayfish and crab pair nicely with The Glenlivet Distiller’s Reserve thanks to its subtle pear notes and smooth finish.
- Cheese: If creamy cheeses such as brie are your thing, you won’t go far wrong with The Glenlivet 21 Year Old Scotch as it’s fruity but with an intriguing spice that stands out against the mellow, creamy cheese.
- Ice cream: Vanilla, white chocolate, honeycomb and butterscotch all shine in The Glenlivet 22 Year Old Single Cask Barrel 2022, making it the perfect accompaniment to an indulgent ice cream sundae sprinkled with nuts and finished with caramel sauce.
START WITH A SNACK
Maple syrup and ham are a well-known combination. Whether that’s as cured meat that’s used in a sandwich or combined as bacon and syrup on a stack of pancakes. We’ve taken this winning flavour combo to new heights by pairing Crispy Prosciutto Toasts and a Maple-Red Wine Sour.
Perfect as a snack to start the night off right, crunchy baguette slices are brushed with olive oil (of course), topped with rich mascarpone, and finished off with crispy, crunchy baked prosciutto.
For the Maple-Red Wine Sour, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old‘s smooth taste along with wine, lemon juice, and just enough maple syrup to add a hint of sweetness, make for a tangy, unique sip that stands up to the richness of the toasts.
Crispy Prosciutto Toasts Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes | Total time: 35 minutes | Makes 1 dozen
- 3 very thin slices of prosciutto (about 2 oz.)
- 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 12 thin slices baguette (about ¼ inch thick) (about 4 oz.)
- 1/4 c. mascarpone or 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. finely sliced chives
- Preheat oven to 375 with a rack in the upper and lower third. Arrange prosciutto in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top sides with 1 teaspoon of the oil.
- Arrange the baguette on another baking sheet, and brush both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Bake until prosciutto crisps and edges curl, about 14 minutes and the baguette is lightly toasted and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let both cool completely.
- Break each piece of prosciutto into 4 pieces. Spread the toasts with mascarpone and sprinkle with pepper. Top each toast with a piece of crispy prosciutto and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
ADD AN APP
For an easy, but still totally fancy-seeming appetiser, rustle up some blue cheese salad bites. Pair your no-utensils-required bites with a Maraschino Cherry Manhattan. The ultra-smooth whisky in the cocktail has notes of pineapple, which cut through the tangy, creamy flavour of this appetiser, whilst the cherry flavour adds contrasting sweetness to the salt bacon.
If you want alternative drink options to pair with this dish, The Glenlivet Captain’s Reserve might work well. Its honey and apricot aroma will complement the blue cheese, whilst cinnamon notes will provide a classic pairing to the fresh apple.
Blue Cheese Salad Bites Recipe
Prep time: 15 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes | Makes 1 dozen
- 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. maple syrup
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 large green apple, stemmed, cored, and cut into tiny thin pieces
- 1 small rib of celery, very thinly sliced
- 4 strips of cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 1/3 c. chopped toasted walnuts
- 2 endive leaves, from two heads
- 1/2 c. finely crumbled high-quality blue cheese
- 1 tbsp. roughly chopped fresh dill sprigs
- In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar, dijon, and maple syrup until well combined. While whisking, slowly pour the olive oil into the vinegar mixture until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the apple, celery, bacon, and walnut to the dressing and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper, to taste.
- Arrange the endive leaves on a platter and fill them with the apple mixture. Top with the blue cheese and dill and serve immediately.
END WITH A (SPIKED) TREAT
Is your sweet tooth the driving force behind your food choices? If it is, then this is the combo for you. Our Salted Caramel Whisky Bread Pudding gets boozy with a big old splash of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old. For some double-whisky action, eat it alongside a sparkling apple cinnamon cocktail—its spiced effervescence is just right to balance the syrupy sweetness of the bread pudding.
Salted Caramel Whisky Bread Pudding Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes | Serves 12
- Makes 1 1/2 c. caramel sauce
- 1 (1-lb.) loaf brioche, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cups cubes)
- 2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/4 c. water
- 1/2 c. The Glenlivet 12 Year Old
- 1 1/4 c. heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract, divided
- Kosher salt
- Cooking spray
- 5 large eggs
- 2 c. milk
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- The day before: Leave bread cubes out overnight to dry out. (Alternatively, place bread on a baking sheet and bake at 200º for 20 minutes, then let cool.)
- Combine 1 cup of the sugar, corn syrup, and ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling occasionally, for about 11 minutes total, until the mixture is a deep amber colour (a candy thermometer should register about 350).
- Remove from heat, and carefully pour in ¼ cup of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old and the ¾ cup of the heavy cream. (Caramel will bubble.) Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir until caramel is smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a large baking dish (8-by-11-inch) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining cup of sugar and eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ cup of heavy cream, the remaining ¼ cup of The Glenlivet 12 Year Old, and the remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Add bread and toss to combine. Let the bread soak for 20 minutes, tossing a few times to submerge.
- Transfer half of the bread mixture to a prepared baking dish and drizzle with 1/3 cup of salted caramel sauce. Top with the remaining bread mixture and another 1/3 cup of salted caramel sauce. Bake until custard is set and the top is golden, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serve drizzled with more salted caramel sauce.
