Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino (Book Review)
A weary Kublai Khan sits in his garden and asks of Marco Polo to tell him of the cities of his empire he will never visit. Polo describes to him fifty-five cities he has seen – each strange and fantastical – cities whose properties are not by bound either physics or time. While being a slight parody on the Travels of Marco Polo, the cities we learn of from Polo in Invisible Cities are not just meant to be caricature of the confabulations of medieval travel literature but a deeper reflection of the nature of memory, space, and time.
Kublai is instantly drawn to Marco, even if at first the latter cannot speak his language.
Marco Polo could express himself only with gestures, leaps, cries of wonder and of horror, animal barkings or hootings, or with objects he took from his knapsacks–ostrich plumes, pea-shooters, quartzes–which he arranges in front of him like chessmen… Newly arrived and quite ignorant of the languages of the Levant, Marco Polo cold express himself only by drawing objects from his baggage–drums, salt fish, necklaces of warthogs’ teeth–and pointing to them with gestures, leaps, cries of wonder or of horror, imitating the bay of the jackal, the hoot of the owl.
At first in a dark mood, the great Khan thinks poorly of his empire.
…an endless, formless ruin, that corruption’s gangrene has spread too far to be healed by our sceptre, that the triumph over enemy sovereigns has made us the heirs of their long undoing.
The great Khan hopes to hear of stories, pockets of health, that will provide some relief to this pessimistic view. Or perhaps the seeds of Polo’s stories will germinate into a new empire.
Kublai: Your cities do not exist. Perhaps they have never existed. It is sure they will never exist again. Why do you amuse yourself with consolatory fables? I know well that my empire is rotting like a corpse in a swamp, whose contagion infects the crows that peck it as well as the bamboo that grows, fertilized by its humours. Why do you not speak to me of this? Why do you lie to the emperor of the Tartars, foreigner?
Marco: Yes, the empire is sick, and what is worse, it is trying to become accustomed to its sores. This is the aim of explorations: examining the traces of happiness still to be glimpsed, I gauge its short supply. If you want to know how much darkness there is around you, you must sharpen your eyes, peering at the faint lights in the distance.
What do each of these cities represent? At first blush it is difficult to infer given how wild they each seem.
In Maurilia, the traveller is invited to visit the city and, at the same time, to examine some old post cards that show it as it used to be: the same identical square with a hen in the place of the bus station, a bandstand in the place of the overpass, the young ladies with white parasols in the place of the munitions factory. If the traveller does not wish to disappoint the inhabitants, he must praise the postcard city and prefer it to the present one, though he must be careful to contain his regret at the changes within definite limits: admitting that the magnificence and prosperity of the metropolis Maurilia when compared to the old, provincial Maurilia, cannot compensate for a certain lost grace, which however, can be appreciated only now in the old post cards, whereas before, when that provincial Maurilia was before one’s eyes, one saw absolutely nothing graceful and would see it even less today, if Maurilia had remained unchanged; and in any case the metropolis had the added attraction that, through what it has become, once can look back with nostalgia at what it was.
In the centre of Fedora, that grey stone metropolis, stands a metal building with a crystal globe in every room. Looking into each globe, you see a blue city, the model of a different Fedora. these are the forms the city could have taken if, for one reason or another, it had not become what we see today. In every age someone, looking at Fedora as it was, imagined a way of making it the ideal city, but while he constructed his miniature model, Fedora was already no longer the same as before, and what had been until yesterday a possible future became only a toy in a glass globe.
Adelma, the city of the dead:
You reach a moment in life when, among the people you have known, the dead outnumber the living. And the mind refuses to accept more faces, more expressions: on every new face you encounter, it prints the old forms, for each one it finds the most suitable mask. Perhaps Adelma is the city where you arrive dying and where each finds again the people he has known.
The city of Leonia refashions itself every day: every morning the people wake between fresh sheets, wash with just-unwrapped cakes of soap, wear brand-new clothing, take from the latest model refrigerator still unopened tins, listening to the last-minute jingles from the most up-to-date radio.
All of which has led a city of a gargantuan garbage pile ready to imperil the city.
[A] landslide looms: a tin can, an old tire, an unravelled wine flask, if it rolls toward Leonia, is enough to bring with it an avalanche of unmated shoes, calendars of bygone years, withered flowers, submerging the city in its own past, which it had tried in vain to reject, mingling with the past of the neighbouring cities, finally clean. A cataclysm will flatten the sordid mountain range, cancelling every trace of the metropolis always dressed in new clothes.
In Calvino’s construction, cities are not made out of things or even people, their material forms represents ideas. Kublai points out to Marco Polo at one point that “You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.” Marco points out these stories, whether they be true of false, each contain something about the city he actually knows about: “Every time I describe a city I am saying something about Venice”. The cities of this novel remind me of the planets and galaxies throughout Calvino’s Cosmicomics. Each a self-contained world whose characters and rules seem oblivious to the contradictions they would present in neighbouring stories and universes.
Despite the absurdity of some of the cities, Calvino talks about each in a humane way. An unsurprising disposition for a writer who began his career as an aspiring communist but became disillusioned with it after the brutality of Stalinism and the Soviet Union. There is a tension in the sympathy Calvino gives to each city, a relativistic stance, and that of humanism. Are we to believe that the spider-web city of Octavia presents the best foundation for its citizens?
The city of Octavia
I see the madness in the institutions that develop in these cities as representing the blind design of mother nature and the acceptance of humans have of their lot. There is a feeling that the abstract level at which we learn of the chaos and the sorrow as well as the epiphanies and joys these inhabitants must experience could map onto our own situation; the same one that a distant observer in Andromeda would feel at observing our civilization. Still, with Calvino one can never be sure exactly what he means, and like a dream, these stories may just be projections of our inner thoughts being made with an elusive objective.
Only in Marco Polo’s account was Kublai Khan able to discern, through the walls and towers destined to crumble, the tracery of a pattern so subtle it could escape the termites gnawing.
Invisible Cities is a short book in page count, but a deep book in imagery and poetic content. Calvino’s writing style is luscious and his narratives are always fantastical, creating a world which is both outrageous and gorgeous. Even after reading it, one may feel obliged to open a random page and be pleasantly refreshed at encountering, once again, the city of Argia which is made out of earth where most cities have air, and air where most cities have earth. Special credit must be given to William Weaver for his excellent translation too. Overall this book holds a special place in the Calvino canon.


Chicago Fire’s Firehouse 51 often conflicts with other firefighters.
In “Where We End Up,” Firehouse 51 is bunking with the members of Firehouse 20 and that creates tension between the teams. Captain Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) butts heads with his opposite number, Captain Delaney, and he’s not the only one in hot water.
But this isn’t the first time Casey has gotten into trouble with a fellow firefighter, and he’s not alone in that distinction, either.
Remember when Casey ticked off Chief Pridgen, after having slept with Pridgen’s ex-wife Beth?
Or when Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) ticked off Deputy District Chief Anderson and the other man had it out for Boden afterward?
Or the whole Grissom and Gorsch of it all over the last few seasons?
Firehouse 20 isn’t alone in having issues with the firefighters of 51, and that’s kind of amusing when you look at the totality of it. In fairness, Chicago Fire is much less likely to show the people that our heroes haven’t upset, because that’s not interesting TV. Showing people from another house just coming by to say hello or drop off some extra supplies would be a random use of a few valuable minutes of screen time.
So what we get, as a result, is largely inter-department conflict like what we’re about to see again this week.
When Chicago Fire does show positive interactions between 51 and other houses, though, it’s led to some of the show’s best moments. Remember that both Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende) and Darren Ritter (recurring guest star Daniel Kyri) were first introduced as members of other teams before they came to Firehouse 51.
There were also two other great stories in the past two years, both involving Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg): the moment where Herrmann rallied a group to help a firefighter in need, and the heartbreaking story where Herrmann lost a friend during a fire call. We see less of these stories for the aforementioned dramatic reasons, but they’re always so captivating that it’s a bit of a shame they don’t happen more often.
At least the show is more well-rounded than the other One Chicago shows, where cops from anywhere outside of Intelligence tend to just get in the way, and doctors who screw up are almost always from Lakeshore and not Chicago Med. But when you re-watch “Where We End Up” this week, you’ll have a hard time not chuckling at Firehouse 51’s latest conflict with their colleagues; hopefully we’ll see a little more collaboration instead of confrontation in season 9.

Hazzaa's home as UAE-Russia ties soar into space
Hazzaa's historic flight has also cemented the Emirati-Russian bonds.
As the nation rolled out a red carpet for its son who made it proud, it was none other than His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, who walked out to the tarmac to welcome back Hazzaa AlMansoori. There was a roaring applause and cheers of delight as Hazzaa, sporting a scarf with UAE flag colours, walked into the welcome area where he met other sheikhs, officials, and dignitaries who were waiting for his return. Even hours before Hazzaa, the first Emirati in space, stepped out of his homecoming aircraft in Abu Dhabi's Al Bateen airport, the mood of the nation was top of this world - euphoric and full of pride. From animated kids on the street to excited men and women in offices, malls, and cafés, everyone was waiting with bated breath for Hazzaa's return to his homeland.
The festivities haven't really stopped since September 25, when the Soyuz MS-15 took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome to dock, six hours later, at the International Space Station, making Hazzaa the first Emirati and the first Arab to visit the giant floating laboratory orbiting the earth. And yesterday, as he returned after successfully completing his space mission and etching his country's name among the stars, Hazzaa was accorded a hero's welcome. From students urging their colleges to introduce space-focused curricula and imploring Hazzaa to visit their campuses to children pestering their parents to get them replica space suits, the frenzy surrounding the UAE's pursuit for space exploration is reaching a crescendo of sorts. What's more, a robot named 'Hazzaa' was seen spreading the message of tolerance, love, and peace in the capital yesterday.
"Zayed's ambition lives on," he tweeted yesterday as Hazzaa left the Star City in Moscow Oblast, but not before thanking the city and a galaxy of Russian organisations and individuals who helped make that dream a reality. "I would like to thank this city, its people, GCTC (Yuri A. Gagarin State Scientific Research-and-Testing Cosmonaut Training Center) at Star City and the Roscosmos team who trained and prepared me to become the first Emirati astronaut." Hazzaa's historic flight has not only made the UAE and its citizens - both young and old - space conscious, but it has also cemented the Emirati-Russian bonds and added a new dimension to the friendship between the two great nations.
The vision, ambition, and inspiration behind Hazzaa's space odyssey was all Emirati, but it was a Russian rocket that helped fire that imagination into space. Russian President Vladimir Putin's two-day state visit to the UAE is all set to further bolster the diplomatic, strategic, and economic ties between the two countries. The UAE has shared a close relationship with Russia for decades, with the countries establishing diplomatic ties within the first week of the foundation of the federation in 1971. Last year, the UAE and Russia upgraded their ties to a strategic partnership, extending their cooperation objectives to various sectors such as politics, security, economy and culture, along with cooperation in the humanitarian, scientific, technological, and tourist domains.
Russian officials have now confirmed to Khaleej Times that the space pioneer is exploring a collaboration with the UAE for use of its territory to launch space satellites. As such a partnership takes off and develops into an even deeper affiliation, the two are bound to take giant leaps in space cooperation. The down-to-earth Hazzaa may be back to enjoy the gravitational pull of the earth, but Putin's visit to the country will ensure that UAE-Russia ties soar into space and beyond.

The 16 areas of Chesterfield and north Derbyshire with a higher coronavirus infection rate than the England average
A total of 16 areas of Chesterfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire have a higher coronavirus infection rate than the current England average.
According to data from the Government's coronavirus dashboard the current infection rate average for England is roughly 21.9 cases per 100,000 people.
The latest figures from Derbyshire County Council’s Covid Surveillance Report reveal the areas recording a higher infection rate in the fortnight up to May 7.
National coronavirus restrictions will be eased again on Monday, May 17 with the reopening of indoor hospitality.
Public health officials in Derbyshire are continuing to urge people to follow the basics of social distancing, wearing a face covering and washing hands regularly.
Derbyshire’s director of public health Dean Wallace also said that Covid ‘hasn’t gone away’ and it remained important to ‘do the right thing’.

text: The PAX genes encode a family of transcription factors that control development within the neural, myogenic, lymphoid, and a variety of other lineages. These proteins are postulated to regulate expression of gene products that function in the control of cellular processes are fundamental to the development of cancer, and thus genetic alterations of these genes may contribute to neoplastic development within these lineages. In support of this premise, several PAX genes have been shown to be targets of consistent chromosomal translocations associated with specific tumor types. The t(2;13) and t(1;13) translocations associated with the myogenic soft tissue cancer alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma fuse portions of the PAX3 or PAX7 gene with a portion of the FKHR gene to generate novel fusion proteins. The t(9;14) translocation associated with the B cell tumor lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma juxtaposes the PAX5 gene into the vicinity of the IGH locus to deregulate PAX5 expression. This review will examine the molecular basis of these translocations and the role of altered function or expression of paired box transcription factors in the process of tumorigenesis.

Like most people, I tune in to the Little League World Series every August, so naturally I was caught off-guard when rumors started circulating about a different World Series this year, in October, of all times. Curiosity well and truly piqued, I put on my journalistic hat and began to investigate this other World Series I’d been hearing about. A few weeks of research later, I uncovered the truth. Are you prepared to have your mind blown? There’s a whole GROWNUP Little League out there!
It’s okay, we were shocked too. It turns out, hundreds of grownups continue playing the popular sport of Little League after high school, and it’s built up enough of a fan base that they even film some games and air them on TV. Don’t bother flipping through your usual local access channels though – you can only find them on some special interest channel called “ESPN.”
The game itself is similar in most respects to regular Little League, but with a few notable changes. Firstly, the players – who wear adorable, full adult size versions of normal Little League uniforms! – play in a field far larger than any standard Little League field, up to four times larger, in fact (can you imagine a Little League field that big?) And if you’re wondering why you’ve never seen one, the answer is simple: They hide them inside very large, roofless buildings, with their location known only to the players and their handful of diehard fans.
Talking of fans, here’s where things get downright spooky. The people who go to see these games have no personal relationship with the players. That’s right: The seats are filled not with parents or siblings, but complete strangers with no social obligations to the players whatsoever, who just want to watch people playing Little League!
We’ll be bringing you updates on this story as it develops, but the implications are staggering: If the sport grows big enough, it’s possible that fans might go as far as to pay actual money to watch games, and even, should the fan bases grow large enough, that some people may end up playing Little League professionally. According to our in-house experts, in fact, some players may one day be able to make double minimum wage – just for playing Little League!
Frankly, our minds are blown. Welcome to the 21st Century, folks: A time when anything is possible. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see something really crazy, like an all-male version of the WNBA!

Nassau County police are investigating a possible bias incident involving animal carcasses left at a Franklin Square church.
The Rev. Guy Perrodin found the carcasses of three chickens and two rabbits, wrapped in a plastic bag and inside a red plastic box, dumped on the steps of the Hillside Baptist Church Sunday.
When police were called at 8 a.m., they first thought the box was a bomb and evacuated nearby houses.
Instead, they found the box contained a New Testament, a car battery, a metal cooking pot and crystal ball wrapped in electrical tape.
"My only thought is that it quite possibly had to be some cult, some satanic cult," Mr. Perrodin told Newsday in Wednesday's editions.

Today, June 14th is celebrated as Flag Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing this day as national Flag Day. Many patriotic Americans fly the flag daily as a means of expressing pride in our great nation.
Today is also the birthday of President Donald Trump and former six-term Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, whose 24-year career is unmatched in Arizona history.
We wish them both a wonderful day and thank them for their dedication to the Constitution, our nation and the law.

HUNTINGTON — President Donald J. Trump was welcomed by thousands of people on Thursday night, as well as protested by some.
Local Trump supporters who attended were county commissioners, a sheriff, a prosecuting attorney and mayor. At least one protester, who has worked with poor children in Gambia, is now working for Planned Parenthood. Supporters and protesters alike seemed to represent a diversity of population.
Attending the rally with family seemed to be the theme of the night with Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Jason Holdren in the crowd with wife Priscilla and children Rose, Jake and Josy.
“It was especially important for the kids to see him (President Trump),” Holdren said, saying when the President of the United States is visiting 20 minutes from your home, it’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss. He joked his oldest child is already a “political junkie” and all three were thrilled when the President turned around and waved in their direction at the rally.
About the President’s speech, Holdren said: “It was a road map for where he wants to go…I thought it was a good speech…it was consistent with what we’ve come to know about him.”
Holdren said he was even interviewed by an Australian reporter at the rally, who asked him his take on the media, which he recounted: “It seems like the national media is irrelevant in our world…local media is very relevant.”
As for that family trip to the Trump Rally, Holdren said of memories made with his children: “They can go back to school and say they got to see the President.”
Meigs Commissioners Tim Ihle and Randy Smith, along with Smith’s son Quentin, were also among the crowd.
“We heard from a president who heard from the American people. We heard from a president who is concerned about veteran issues, infrastructure, over regulation and job creation. All things that most people I talk with are concerned with. It was great to see such a large number of young people in attendance. Hopefully we can see the president back in our area again soon,” Randy Smith said.
“When Jane and I heard President Trump was coming to Huntington, and tickets were available, we pursued tickets and thought ‘who else could we share the good news with?’,” Tim Ihle said. “Friends and family were concerned about protesters, violence and our safety. But we told them THAT is the reason we needed to go. And we were so happy we went. We were not only charged up about President Trump’s speech, but by the vast amount of young people that were in attendance. We feel there is hope for our country. For American’s sake please pray for President Trump.”
“It was an amazing experience,” Quentin Smith chimed in.
“I was very impressed,” Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood agreed. “I have never seen a presidential speech in person. My ope is that people give this man a chance to be president…. I am frustrated with the division in our country. We need to come together as American citizens, working together to get things accomplished.”
“I have never attended a presidential rally,” said Brian Billings, mayor of Point Pleasant. “My wife Shirley, sons Josh and Jared and I attended and were just amazed with the enthusiasm, energy and diverse individuals who attended. I spoke with homemakers, business and corporate leaders, elected officials who came out to see and hear President Trump. People from Texas, Mississippi, New York, etc., filled the lines outside as well as others from Point Pleasant and our great state.”
Billings continued: “We attended the event to listen to the President and try to focus on what he is wanting our great country to become. I really feel he has West Virginia in his heart. Based on what he said and what others at the event said to the crowd and those that we spoke to. My prayer is that more will come for our state…manufacturing, a big boost for our coal miners and simply jobs! I will add that the shock of the evening was the announcement by Gov. Justice at the rally. You know regardless of party affiliation let’s just start working to get things done for the Mountain State. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with him and share what we here in our city and county have….hard working people who just want to work and make a living and be able to have more money in their pockets when the work day is done. We have so much to offer. Why are we being passed over?
Emily Thompson, who grew up in Point Pleasant, and recently moved to Charleston, was also at the rally but she was outside, protesting the President’s appearance. Thompson is the field organizer for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, covering the state of West Virginia.
Protesters were contained to an area on Third Avenue near the arena.
Thompson was there protesting because she said 2.5 million people rely on Planned Parenthood for birth control as well as “life-saving cancer screenings, STI/HIV testing, counseling, sex education, and other preventative services. These services are currently under attack.”
She added: “For months, an army of pink-clad Planned Parenthood patients, supporters, and advocates organized rallies, speak-outs at congressional town halls, phone banks, petition deliveries, and field hearings in opposition to Trumpcare.”
Thompson said in West Virginia, the group had: “Won the support of Senator Manchin to stand with Planned Parenthood and vote on behalf of West Virginia families. Organized or showed up to over 50 events. Made more than 3,100 phone calls to our state elected officials. Delivered over 4,600 petitions in opposition to ‘defunding’ Planned Parenthood. Gained 150 new defenders and volunteers to mobilize and protect health care.”
She continued “Together, we defeated the worst bill for women’s health in a generation. Together, our voices were too powerful to ignore. But, we know the fight is not over and that opponents will keep attacking people’s access to preventive care at Planned Parenthood. And that’s why we participated in the protest against Donald Trump. Any future attempts to attack Planned Parenthood and women will be met with intense opposition because we know those efforts are incredibly unpopular. It’s time for politicians, and particularly Donald Trump, to realize: you cannot attack women’s health and rights and expect to get away with it. The people of this country will not stand for it.”

Kid loved, this easy pizza casserole is a lower carb version that the whole family can enjoy! Top with all your favorite pizza toppings!
I can remember clearly the first time I had deep dish pizza. I thought I had died and gone to heaven and it was with tears I bid goodbye to it when I gave up all grains.
Now, you know I eat dairy and some Paleo kids out there don’t but I can not have pizza without cheese. This recipe is both a paleo homage to deep dish pizza and a casserole hence the name.
I didn’t want to mess with a coconut flour crust with this so I used eggplant to line the bottom of my 8″ cast iron pan. When you cut up your eggplant, if you notice it’s browin inside please note that eggplant with slight enzymatic browning is perfectly good to use
I don’t make a huge batch of this because Mr. Bejelly doesn’t like eggplant and is not big fan of casseroles.
Imagine my surprise when he gobbled up half of this.
Also, I get my Italian sausage bulk from my Italian grocery store so it cooks up like a ground beef. If you get links you’ll need to crumble them up.
Why this recipe works
Pepperoni pizza meets casserole and creates a super simple dish that you can whip up easily.
How to Make This Pizza Casserole Recipe:
Spread a light layer of pizza sauce over the eggplant and top this with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Notes and Variations
- You can easily add more toppings like black olives, green peppers and keto fettuccine.
- You can make this in a casserole dish versus a large skillet.

This easy, cheesy pizza casserole is the perfect main course!
- 1 small eggplant, sliced into 2" wide strips.
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 5 oz shredded parmesan
- 3/4 lb spicy Italian pork sausage crumble, cooked.
- 4 oz pizza sauce
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
- Grease your pan with the coconut oil and line with the strips of eggplant. You only want one layer of eggplant (you might have extra).
- Spread a light layer of pizza sauce over the eggplant and top this with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Next add all the Italian pork sausage and top with the rest of the mozzarella and half of the balance of the parmesan
- Spread a layer of marinara over it all and put in your oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
- Six minutes before the pizza is complete, take the pan out of the oven and cover with the rest of the parmesan. Garnish with Italian parsley.

This looks tasty. Not sure I could stand the eggplant though.
I thought the same things, so when I make it I will use zucchini instead
Oh my gosh! I need this!
Oh WOW this looks really good and amazing!
I don’t do pork, but that looks good!
We have some garden eggplant coming in. This looks like a great way to use it.
Oh my yum!
I will have to try this. It looks and sounds yummy!
I love the idea of using eggplant as a base for the casserole!
Looks great, I have the little egg plant that I could add to it too.
Yummy! Do you have a coconut flour recipe for pizza dough?
I don’t know much about eggplant, but I have to say that looks delicious! Plus, I’m a HUGE casserole fan!
I love casseroles, my hubby LOVES pizza, so I have got to try this!
Wow, that looks good! What are you cooking in it, is that cast iron?
Yep, it’s an 8″ cast iron pan.
Looks delicious! I truly enjoy visiting your blog to see what awesome recipes you have for the day!
This looks wonderful! Thanks!
I need this in my life!
That casserole looks delicious!
That’s a simple ingredient list for such a great-looking meal!
I would have to pass on the eggplant, but otherwise it looks delicious!
WOW Does tht ever look incredibly delicous
I didn’t know it was possible, but you have my mouth watering at 9AM. This looks so good.
I am a big fan of casseroles. This one looks so yummy!
We LOVE eggplant!! I’ve pinned and this will be added to next week’s dinner menu!
This looks really good. I want to try to make one!
This looks delish!
I’ve got a husband who’s not a fan of eggplant. I wonder if he’d like this too…
My husband does not like eggplant so he didn’t eat the “crust”. He killed the rest of it 😛
I love eggplant, so I know this is good!
I made this tonight and it is excellent! A definate keeper
Thank you so much Debbie. It’s even better the next day 😛
He ate a tomato based casserole?? You should get an award for this recipe!! 😀
Ha! He loves tomato is just gives him heartburn like crazy.
Do you need to cook the eggplant prior to constructing the casserole to get rid of the bitter taste? Or is it fine to just put it directly in the pan uncooked? Eggplant has always been tricky for me and mine usually comes out watery.
You can soak in water and then fry it to help. I’m too lazy to do this, lol!
I cooked this recipe tonight and it turned out great!! I didnt pre cook the eggplant and it was still wonderful. I used Baby Japanese Eggplant so I didnt have as much waste in the end. I will definitely be making this again.
ps-Thank you for responding to the questions. Youre the first blogger to ever do so. 🙂
Yeah! Thanks so much for sharing that Carla 🙂
Do you think you could use Zucchini instead of the eggplant ?
Yes, I think it would work well!
I just came across your recipe for Pizza Casserole via Pinterest. Yeah! I’m excited to try this recipe and was wondering if you peel the eggplant. Thank you!
Hi Bethany, I don’t peel it hun.
i cant find spicy Italian pork sausage crumble you have a recipe for it? or substitute?
You can’t use regular Italian sausage or ground pork and season with oregano, basil, etc.
In true Paleo there is no dairy allowed. No Cheese.
Hi Rhonda, thanks for sharing that. I do follow a primal diet hun.
Rhonda, you could always use buffalo mozzarella. It is not dairy (dairy comes from cattle) and is virtually lactose and casein free. Most people with lactose and casein issues tolerate buffalo mozzarella very well. Also, while the original Paleo stance was no dairy, Robb Wolf (the Eat Real Food guy that kind of brought Paleo into the mainstream) recently endorsed raw milk.
As for the recipe, OMG it’s delicious. I’ve missed pizza so much, and now I feel like the itch has been scratched! Thank you so much for sharing, Kelly!!
I hope this is not a silly question. I am still very new to cooking… do you need to use cast iron, or would a glass or metal pan work? It seems like cast iron would allow for a more crispy edge. Is that accurate? I have never cooked with cast iron. Is that something everyone should try?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Lynn, you would really have to cook this low and slow for several hours to get a crispy texture due to the sauce. However, if you are cooking a low liquid recipe, you will get a crispier crust from cast iron 🙂
I’m wondering if I can double this and make it in a 13X9 baking dish? I have a crowd to feed and would love to make this, an Italian salad, and garlic bread. What do you think?
That sounds awesome! It should totally come out a-ok.
If the sliced eggplant is 2″wide, how thick is it? Thanks in advance.
I would slice them 1/2″ thick hun.
How is this a freezer meal? Do I freeze it after I cook it or put the ingredients on a bag and freeze before? You probably noted this somewhere, but I missed it.
You want to put it together and par bake it for 20 minutes. Let it cool and then freeze.

Here's the mashup we created using the sound pads to play the layered sections and build up some drops.

He that is down needs fear no fall;

Have God to be his guide.
I am content with what I have.
Little be it or much;
And, Lord, contentment still I crave,
Because Thous savest such.
Fulness to such a burden is,
That go on pilgrimage;
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age.

Betrayal and forgiveness are the themes of this complex opera: Amelia's betrayal of her husband, Renato (she is having an affair with Riccardo. governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony), and the betrayal and assassination of Riccardo by a group of conspirators. The libretto is better integrated than most of Verdi's operas written before Otello and Falstaff. It was originally about an historic incident, the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, but Roman censors, nervous about royal assassinations, forced the absurd relocation of the opera to colonial Boston. The music is prime middle-period Verdi, less spectacular than Il Trovatore, Rigoletto or La Forza del Destino, but it is warmly, richly expressive. It requires and rewards exceptionally good voices, and it gets them in this production. Outstanding work by Muti helps make this one of the best Verdi recordings ever made.–Joe McLellan
Frank Zappa's music is not easy to convert to the stage of the jazz band. Although Zappa's zany compositions have always attracted some of the more adventurous jazz players, the actual jazz content of the tunes is minimal. Italian keyboardist Riccardo Fassi takes his Tankio Band of twelve players plus selected guests through a dozen Zappa charts with mixed results. Curiously, Fassi is most successful when he diverges from the structures of the tunes. When he sticks too closely to the melodies and chords, translating them into Kentonesque big band blasts, the results are less satisfying. The quality of the soloists vary, but guest trumpeter Flavio Boltro, accordionist Antonello Salis, and band member alto saxophonist Sandro Satta dish up some of the most compelling individual work.
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 is an incomprehensible wonder of music history, rigorously peculiar, disturbingly new, and timelessly modern. “Wie ein Naturlaut” (Like a sound of nature) is indicated above the first notes of the symphony. It is both the prelude and the key to his symphonic cosmos as a whole. Mahler captures this music of the world, transforms it into a symphony in the old, comprehensive sense of the word and uses it to create his masterpiece of harmony. Composed over the course of just a few months at the beginning of 1888 in Leipzig, this symphony is a true musical awakening. Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig bring Mahler’s sounds of nature to life in a riveting performance.
Zemlinsky's Die Seejungfrau ("The mermaid") is a three-movement symphonic fantasy based on the Hans Andersen story. It was first performed (under the composer's direction) in 1905, and is thus a good deal earlier than the works that have recently excited renewed interest in him—the oneact operas Eine florentinische TragOdie (1916) and Der Zwerg (1921), and the exquisite Lyric Symphony of 1922. In its masterly handling of a large orchestra, however, and of an episodic but firm structure, it is a far from immature piece. Zemlinsky was 34 when he wrote it, after all. If his list of works were not in such a terrible mess—many are unpublished; several, including the present work, were until recently thought to be lost—Die Seejungfrau would count as his Op. 30 or thereabouts.
Bernard Haitink’s 1980 Manfred was the prize of his Concertgebouw/Tchaikovsky symphony cycle. Riccardo Chailly’s 1987 effort with the same orchestra, while very good, doesn’t quite live up to that standard. In both recordings you get the sense that Tchaikovsky composed Manfred expressly for the Concertgebouw Orchestra. The very sound of the ensemble in its own hall conjures the dark, fantasy world described in the music. To this add lively and colorful playing, rich sonority, and utterly impeccable musicianship and you’ve got a uniquely compelling aural experience. Where the performances part company is in Haitink’s embrace of Tchaikovsky’s passionate dramatic ethos, a quality that Chailly, by contrast, tends to shy away from. (Of course, for a truly passionate reading you have to hear Muti’s rendition on EMI.) In his favor Chailly does have Decca’s vivid, high-impact digital recording, which, though having less warmth than the analog Philips production, better conveys the massiveness of the Concertgebouw Hall’s acoustics.
Despite the use of period instruments, including some fine blaring natural horns, this couldn't be called a historically informed performance of Handel's Royal Fireworks Music, HWV 351. The work was not composed for a pleasant onboard afternoon musicale like the Water Music, but instead was part of an event that would have been one of the top items on CNN Headline News for 1749: the celebration of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, brokered by King George II.

Gay Romance TV Shows Bring A Rise To Thailand's Tourism Industry
Thailand’s romantic comedy series “I Told Sunset About You” is a show about gay romance between two young men. The show is shot on location in Phuket and uses actual businesses in the area for the character’s scenes. Tourists from all over Asia who enjoy the show are flocking to the locations. Hence, the rise in tourism since before the pandemic has been a welcome surprise for local Thai business owners.
“I Told Sunset About You” is part of a bigger phenomenon in Asia called the “boys love” genre. Also known as “BL”, BL shows caught on during the pandemic with 43 shows released in 2020 and 2021. With viewership from Japan, Korea, and Vietnam streaming episodes on Youtube and Line TV, fans online have really been the force behind the genre’s rise in popularity.
As Thailand’s travel industry is recovering, their tourism authority is taking full advantage of the show’s acclaim. By creating “Thai BL” booths in Osaka for a recent marketing event since Japan has a high demand for dramas. The Thais have even developed Japanese-language social media accounts profiling locations from pivotal scenes of the show.
Although the popularity of Thai BL shows has equated in profits for the country’s economy, there is still a very conservative community that doesn’t want Thailand to be portrayed as a gay man’s paradise. But since the shows don’t interfere with normal free TV broadcasting, the powers that be are accepting its influence on the economy as the shows air over streaming platforms on mobile devices.
Thailand has currently produced 17 BL series this year alone. And as the shows continue to gain in views, the LGBT community in Southeast Asia hopes this changes the perspective of the people who still aren’t as accepting of their lifestyles.

This week I need to write the synopsis and query letter for ITAV (It Takes a Village). I probably need to find a new title for it as well, since that title doesn’t work any longer. It was a filler title during NaNoWriMo when I thought it would be a Brigadoon type, with a vanishing village. Didn’t turn out that way.
Maybe “Soul”? I thought about Simulacrum but the word doesn’t sound right. Hm. “Protect the Soul” doesn’t sound right either, and “Soul of Tien” gives too much away. In a sense. But I also want a title that draws attention, even if it gets changed later.

Republicans signaled Sunday that they would not be daunted by President Obama's soaring approval ratings, criticizing his proposed $825-billion economic stimulus plan, his strategy for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay and his decision to exempt a top-ranking Pentagon appointee from new ethics rules.
Some of the sharpest criticism came from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the party's challenger to Obama in the election and the recipient of aggressive outreach as part of the new president's efforts to forge an image of bipartisanship.
Obama honored McCain on the eve of last week's inauguration with a bipartisan candlelight dinner, and he has solicited his former rival's advice on top appointments. McCain has returned the favor by pressing fellow Republicans to speedily confirm Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But Sunday, McCain had few kind words for Obama's initial moves as president. He called it "disingenuous" for the White House to impose new rules to limit the influence of lobbyists but immediately claim an exemption for William Lynn III, the nominee to be deputy Defense secretary, who has lobbied on behalf of defense contractor Raytheon Co.
The whole story.
I really hope all Obama's talk about bipartisanship was aimed more at the Beltway media hacks, and not the Republicans -- otherwise Obama is going to end up looking like a naive fool. Because the Republicans don't care about "bipartisanship," and sitting on a loyal, albeit rump, base that is geographically discrete, and with the backing of an extensive media support network, they don't have to. Getting anything done is going to require slugging it out -- it's the only game the Republicans play. Obama might score some style points with all his pretty talk, but he'd better be able to back it up with some hard punching when it comes down to it.
Interesting that when the Republicans ran the show, any hint of a lack of obedience on the part of the Democrats was met by a firestorm of demands for "bipartisanship," the word "obstructionism" was heard in every news story, and the "liberal" members of the punditocracy wrung their hands and predicted utter doom for the Democratic Party unless they shut up, sat down, and voted for whatever it was that the Republicans wanted. I haven't seen one prediction of doom for the Republicans, despite Obama's sky-high approval ratings, a disastrous economic picture created by Republican misrule that demands immediate attention, and the Republicans getting blown out in two consecutive elections, while their brand name is down there with Enron's. Bipartisanship sure is an odd word in Washington.

Lambeth council is asking the Mayor of London to provide 100 more police officers for Lambeth to make our streets safer.
The Mayor of London is responsible for policing across London.

Lambeth is asking for a fairer deal and more police for a borough which has high levels of crime and increasing levels of fear of crime (up 9 per cent last year). 100 more police officers would mean Lambeth being treated like other London boroughs and will bring us in line with the London average. That’s a fair deal.
The 100 extra police will:

What is the Law on Dog Bite Liability in Texas?
There are two main ways to prove a dog bite liability case in Dallas or anywhere in Texas. The first involves the situation where the owner knows of the dog’s dangerous tendencies. It is often mentioned as the “one bite rule” where the owner is said not to be liable for the first bite by their dog. While this is technically true, a dog owner can be found liable even if the dog was not known to be vicious if the owner is negligent in the way the dog has handled resulting in the injuries. “Negligent handling” can include letting the dog run free in the neighborhood or walking the dog without a leash. It can also arise when the owner is negligent after the dog is becoming aggressive but before the attack such as letting the barking dog loose out the door by accident when the victim is approaching. There are many ways to establish liability in a dog attack case and our Dallas Dog Bite Lawyers have the experience to seek the maximum compensation you are entitle to receive under the law.

Continuation of the research on the theory of the motion of fluids
In this paper, a continuation of E226, Euler improves one of his results. He also gives an exhaustive theory of the flow in tubes, generalizing some of his results from E225. He also treats compressible fluids for the first time, and it is in this work that the complex potential for the source, sink, or vortex first appears.

The First Family needs protection, even out on the water.
President Donald Trump was photographed recently with cash sticking out of his back pants pocket, with the president explaining that he used it to tip staff at the hotels where he stays on trips. Jimmy Kimmel joked about the news, saying the president also left notes that said "sorry the hand towels are orange now."
According to reports, the Secret Service is looking to purchase two Jet Skis and a trailer to "enhance safety/security for protective assignments on the water," as agents were previously renting them with their own funds. Late Late Show's James Corden joked about the news of the contracts, saying that the Jet Skis won't just be better to protect the First Family, but they will also be "really bitchin'." Corden also joked that the Secret Service only asked for two Jet Skis because they don't "want to blow their whole budget, because they're saving up for a monster truck."
