“Sophisticated” Art Collectors Are Facing Less Sympathetic Courts
Under most circumstances, particularly in the art world, sophistication is an asset, a quality that helps one glide through art openings and delight at dinner parties. A handful of recent court decisions, though, have turned it into a potential liability, as judges question whether sophisticated art collectors can viably claim they were misled when high-end art transactions go awry.
The rulings highlight the growing scrutiny courts are paying to how art buyers conduct themselves during a transaction, and suggest that due diligence is more important than ever—especially at the top end of the market.
“In the art market, where we have such sophisticated and wealthy participants, courts are not sympathetic to a buyer who gets defrauded who doesn’t do his or her homework until after” the transaction, said Judd Grossman, founder and managing partner of Grossman LLP in New York, speaking on a panel at EXPO Chicago this fall.
“The notion of reasonable reliance, that’s always been around,” Grossman said in a recent interview. “You’re just seeing more litigation on the sale of art, and a lot of that has to do with the price points.”
Grossman was describing the legal concept that says if a prudent person takes steps (such as buying a painting) by reasonably relying on the claims of another person (say, an art dealer), only to find out their claims were inaccurate, she can recover damages. Whether the reliance was “reasonable” is, in turn, a function of “the relative sophistication of the parties, and the information available to the prudent person,” Grossman said, in the course of doing ordinary due diligence prior to a transaction. The expansion of the top end of the art market, and a concomitant increase in litigation, has led to more attention to what constitutes adequate pre-sale due diligence.
“While there is no precise formula to determine reasonable reliance, what is clear is that buyers cannot blindly rely on the representations of sellers, no matter their stature in the marketplace,” Grossman added.
For a long time, said Thomas C. Danziger, managing partner at New York’s Danziger, Danziger & Muro, LLP, courts as a general rule have imposed higher standards of due diligence on art market professionals, while holding collectors to a lower standard than someone in the trade. But a “sophisticated” collector—for example, one who frequently trades in the upper echelons of the market and has demonstrated knowledge of how to undertake due diligence in an art transaction—might be held to the same standard as an art market professional, he surmised.
For example, in her 2014 opinion dismissing a case in which billionaire leveraged buyout specialist Ron Perelman sued Larry Gagosian of Gagosian Gallery for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and other related charges, New York Supreme Court Justice Barbara Kapnick noted Perelman’s deep knowledge of the art market and hundreds of transactions going back decades as factors that undercut his claim to being reliant on Gagosian to determine the values of certain works. Perelman had alleged that Gagosian had undervalued works he was buying from Perelman, and had overcharged Perelman for works he was selling, in a complex transaction that involved the trading of multiple works between the two parties.
“[The] plaintiffs’ allegations make clear that they were experienced and sophisticated business investors who entered into negotiated, arm’s-length transactions with defendants, which does not give rise to a fiduciary relationship,” the judge wrote. Elsewhere, she noted Perelman’s “20 years of experience making art investment decisions” and the “nearly 200 works” Perelman had bought and sold through Gagosian alone.
The court “held that Ron is a sophisticated guy; he couldn’t claim to rely blindly on what Gagosian was telling about [the value of] those works,” said Grossman. “You can’t base a fraud claim on an opinion.”
The scrutiny also comes at a time when art market participants wear multiple hats. A dealer may also advise, an advisor may also collect, and a collector may also wheel and deal—making it harder to establish a clear fiduciary duty between parties. In the same opinion, Justice Kapnick cited Gagosian’s “various roles as consignee, seller, buyer, broker, bidder, and agent.”
Enforcing due diligence standards would have been easier “when roles were very clearly defined,” said New York–based lawyer Christopher Robinson of Cahill, Cossu, Noh & Robinson, LLP, who spoke on the September panel at EXPO Chicago. “A dealer was a dealer, an advisor was an advisor, a purchaser was a purchaser. But collectors now are buying and flipping stuff all the time. The roles are confused and that kind of distinction becomes much more of a factor on a case by case basis.”
For example, a buyer like Perelman may intend to resell a Jeff Koons work shortly after taking possession of it, making him more like a dealer. Such was the case in the ongoing dispute between the Swiss advisor and dealer Yves Bouvier and his client Dmitry Rybolovlev. Rybolovlev had believed that Bouvier was his advisor who earned a 2-percent commission on transactions, but alleges that Bouvier acted more like a dealer, sourcing works and marking them up significantly before he sold them to Rybolovlev.
Several participants on the panel noted that judges’ increasing attention to buyers’ due diligence responsibility may stem from their own lack of familiarity with the art market, and its ins and outs.
“The courts expect…somebody with a certain level of sophistication to understand what they’re getting into, and they’re not sympathetic,” said panelist Sharon Flescher, executive director at the International Foundation for Art Research. “It comes from the uncomfortableness of the judge to be really determining the case in an area where they’re relying on experts.”
Even in cases in which a buyer prevails, her or his level of sophistication is still subject to scrutiny. In August, a judge allowed a fraud case against a mother-son pair of dealers brought by oil trader and hedge-fund manager Andrew Hall to proceed, even though he, too, is a sophisticated, long-time art collector. Hall had purchased 24 works he thought were by painter Leon Golub from Lorettann and Nikolas Gascard, which he now alleges are fake. Hall’s doubts arose in 2015 when he began researching their provenance ahead of a Golub show he planned to stage at his private museum in Vermont.
The Gascards told the court that Hall, as a sophisticated buyer, should not have relied solely on their claims of authenticity, and sought opinions from outside experts. Hall noted in court filings that even Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where he had purchased some of the Golubs consigned by the Gascards, had been fooled by the fakes. In November, after a New Hampshire court ordered the Gascards to repay Hall $465,000, he told the New York Times he will “probably have a big bonfire” with the fake paintings.
“You can’t always excuse your nefarious statements and misconduct by saying, ‘Oh, the plaintiff should have done more,’ but the fact that those statements are being considered is a sign of how expectations” have shifted, said Grossman.
Yet in a similar case in which Grossman represented Canadian gallery Equinox, which had purchased stolen works by Jasper Johns from New York art dealer Fred Dorfman, the courts gave the buyer the benefit of the doubt. In January 2018, a Manhattan district court allowed the gallery to proceed with its claim against Dorfman, who was selling works provided to him by Johns’s former studio assistant; the assistant, he said, had claimed they were gifts. The case settled shortly after.
In this case, Grossman pointed out, calling Jasper Johns to confirm the works’ provenance could have ruffled feathers in the world of closed-doors private dealing, where buyers and sellers may not want to out themselves as a party to a transaction.
“The art world…is so quiet and there’s so little transparency,” Grossman said. “The more diligence you do, you can blow up the deal.”
Fortunately for his client, he added, sometimes “a fraud is a fraud is a fraud.”

Get ready for a fun and colorful dessert made with purple yams, also known as Ube! This Ube Ice Cream Recipe is easy to make and has a unique flavor everyone will love.
If you have ever seen a vibrant purple dessert or bread, it was most likely made with ube. This Ube Ice Cream Recipe is following that trend and couldn’t be more fun to make. The purple color is so pretty and the flavor is unique as well.
Ube is a purple yam originally from the Philippines. It’s a bright purple sweet potato that’s even sweeter than a regular sweet potato and has a nutty and subtle vanilla flavor. It’s a common ingredient in the Philippians often used in desserts and bread and has recently become more popular thanks to Instagram.
This ice cream has a nutty and vanilla-like flavor that pairs really well with coconut. My first experience with ube was with coconut so I decided to add some toasted coconut to the top of mine.

Conventional wisdom says the third time’s the charm. For Rashid Skaf, though, the fourth time was the charm in his quest towards the recent Biamp acquisition, a dream he realized last month after about 10 years of trying.
Skaf, who took over as Biamp president, CEO and co-chairman when Highlander Partners bought the company, says the Beaverton, Ore.-based Biamp was one of about 150 companies Highlander had talked to in its quest to get into the AV integration space—and there are more deals to come.
After Skaf left AMX, he joined Highlander and got the green light from owner Larry Hirsch to canvass the market to figure out how to best bring the private equity firm into the growing AV integration world.
That search encompassed about 12 to 15 months, says Skaf, and Biamp has long been the apple of his eye because of its “culture and ethos.”
“It’s a company that’s always done right by its customers,” says Skaf of the company he now leads. He sees the Biamp acquisition as “a good foundation to tuck other companies into,” saying it could take a year or so before Highlander makes its next AV integration-centric deal.
“Everything I do is about growth. You’re either growing or you’re dying. I really love running companies and tinkering to make them better. This is not the end, but I’m giving myself the first year to find the right opportunities,” he says.
Highlander bought Biamp from Lomar Corporation, a company that owned Biamp for about 28 years and is led by two brothers who didn’t have anyone in the next generation looking to take over Biamp. It was largely a case of good timing and an enticing offer that finally led to Skaf becoming the man at Biamp’s helm, he says.
And, while the term “private equity” brings with it an idea that the investment will be short-term before Highlander flips it and moves on to something else, Skaf says that’s not what he expects to happen with the Biamp acquisition.
“They have no timetable in place,” he says. “When we talk about Highlander, we’re really talking about Larry. It’s his money we’re investing.”
As far as private equity and venture capital companies investing in AV integrators and fellow manufacturing companies, Skaf sees the industry becoming “more interesting.”
“There are a lot of companies that are becoming ripe for acquisition right now, and all variants are available for expansion, whether that means vertical expansion, geographic expansion or an expansion into a particular expertise,” he says.
Right now, there’s no end date in mind for it, either.
“With Highlander buying into the AV market, other groups that haven’t been looking at AV will certainly start to do that as well. The biggest challenge is it’s more risky in the tech space than in some others. You have to really know what you’re doing and to keep up with the technology,” says Skaf.

Anti-psychotic drugs are likely to cause brain damage, according to a new study.
The results challenge the widely-held view that schizophrenia itself causes brain structural changes, such as less brain grey matter, bigger ventricles and larger cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces, claim researchers.
The results are published in an edition earlier this year of the Psychological Medicine journal.
Researchers reviewed magnetic resonance imaging studies which had examined brain changes in patients on anti-psychotics and those of patients not on the drugs.
More than half (14) of 26 studies showed that the brains of patients on anti-psychotics had shrunk.
Of the 21 studies of patients not on anti-psychotics, five suggested brain size decreases. But no differences were reported in three studies of non-drug (known as ‘drug-naïve’) patients who had been ill for a long time.
The results are “remarkable”, claim the study’s researchers, because they contradict research purporting to rule out anti-psychotic drug-induced effects on brain size.”
Most studies of drug-naïve patients did not report or detect differences in total brain volume, global grey matter or CSF volumes between patients and controls, including three studies of untreated patients with long-term illness,” stated the researchers, including Dr Joanne Moncrieff, of the Department of Mental Health Sciences, University College London.
Upto now few studies have investigated primarily the effects of anti-psychotic treatment on brain structure.
“Overall there seems to be enough evidence to suggest that antipsychotic drug treatment may play a role in reducing brain volume and increasing CSF or ventricular spaces,” the researchers wrote. Further research is urgently required, stated the paper, entitled A Systematic Review of the Effects of Antipsychotic Drugs on Brain Volume.
Dr Moncrieff, also a London NHS psychiatrist, told psychminded.co.uk: “The psychiatric community still seem unworried by this [the possible effects on the brain of anti-psychotic medication] and continue to focus on the idea that schizophrenia is causing the brain damage.”

The Cabaret Chronicles: Algonquin Salon, Cast Party and Gretchen Reinhagen!
Happy Friday, everyone!
I kicked things off this week by heading to the Algonquin Salon, which takes place every Sunday evening in the lobby of the historic Algonquin Hotel. Pianist Mark Janas is the founder and host, and every week, he invites a special guest co-host. Well, this week, the guest co-host happened to be one of my favorite singers, the fabulous Karen Mason! Karen has starred on Broadway in shows including Mamma Mia!, Sunset Boulevard, and, most recently, Hairspray, and she's also had a luminous cabaret career. I always enjoy listening to her sing - not only does she have an amazing voice, but she performs with incredible strength and passion. She did a terrific job of co-hosting the Salon - she performed three numbers herself, and was a charming and gracious emcee...and boy, did she have some great talent to present! Salon regulars such as Julie Reyburn, Stephen Wilde, Susan Winter, Maureen Taylor, and Richie Eisenberg performed, and there were some fantastic newcomers (or relative newcomers!) as well! Ray Jessel (about whom I wrote last week!) did one of his great ditties, and Rita Gardner (who originated the role of The Girl in The Fantasticks!) performed, too - although I'm very sorry to report that I missed her performance, as I was coming from another appointment and had to get to the Salon a little late. All in all, it was a terrifically entertaining evening, and I was so happy I was able to make it!
The following night found me at another talent-heavy gathering: Jim Caruso's Cast Party at Birdland (yeah, I know - just for a change, right?!). Seriously, though, there's a reason I make it a point to be there every week I can - it's so much fun!! The number of amazingly talented people (from Broadway stars to jazz divas to folk icons) that have gotten up to the mic there is simply mindboggling! And this week was no exception - jazz violinist Aaron Weinstein was jaw-droppingly good; Sir Richard Rodney Bennett and Claire Martin (who are visiting from England and in the middle of a run at the Oak Room at the Algonquin), brought the house down with their super-jazzy renderings of "The Very Thought of You" and "I Thought About You," which they seamlessly wove together, folk goddess Christine Lavin treated us to one of her catchy original tunes, and singer Nate Lombardi mixed things up a bit with his jazz/hip-hop take on "The Way You Look Tonight." And the list of talented folks goes on and on - what a night! Jim Caruso was, as usual, the perfect, charming host and Tedd Firth and Steve Doyle (on piano and bass, respectively) provided top-notch accompaniment for the parade of perfomers. Can't wait for next Monday!
On Thursday, it was off to the Metropolitan Room to see Gretchen Reinhagen in her new show, Almost Blue. As you may have guessed from the title, the show was chock full of blues tunes...ALMOST all of the songs were blues, hence "Almost Blue!" Very clever! The show was a bit of a departure for Gretchen, who, in her first few shows in the city, pretty much stayed with the formula of showtunes/standards/special material, so it was fun to see her let loose a bit and give herself over to the material! She was backed by a rockin' all-female band (Lisa Brigantino on bass, Donna Kelly on drums, Karen Mack and Heidi Weyhmueller on backup vocals and musical director Tracy Stark on piano), which was also a big departure for her, as her previous shows were done with piano only. I really enjoyed not only the sound of the band (they were terrific), but the rapport Gretchen shared with them - it made for a very fun show! My favorite song? Oh, such a guilty pleasure, but I'm sure I'm not alone...it was "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)," for which musical director Tracy Stark split the lead vocals with Gretchen. It was such a fun moment - Gretchen and Tracy rocked out, the whole room was dancing and mouthing along, the band was smokin' and the disco lights were going...I mean, what more could you ask for?! Of course, the title song, Elvis Costello's Almost Blue, was included, and it was paired quite touchingly with Alan Gordon's "My Heart Belongs To Me". Toward the end of the show, Gretchen announced that her next show, which she's been dropping hints about for a while, but keeping under quite tight wraps, is going to be a Kaye Ballard show. She did a couple of tunes from that show as a sneak preview, and boy, I can't wait to see it - it seems like a perfect match of artist to material, so you can bet I'll be there when it opens in December! All in all, a quite enjoyable evening at the Metropolitan Room!
That's all for now, but check back for more next week!!
Where I'm going this week...
TONIGHT: Friday, June 5th: MetroJam at the Metropolitan Room! Held the first Friday of every month, this open mic features an awesome band (John DiPinto on piano, Ritt Henn on bass and Bobby Sher on drums), and starting tonight, the host of MetroJam is yours truly! Joe Bachana, the former host, has stepped down and I'm extremely honored and flattered to have been asked to take his place! I really can't wait! We've got a fantastic group of people who have already said they're attending, and I've asked 2009 MAC Award winner Terese Genecco to come do a set with the band as my special guest for the evening. We also have a fantastic tenor sax player, Brian Broelmann, sitting in with the band tonight, so it should be a blast! The open mic runs from 10-midnight; please arrive by 9:30 to sign up if you'd like to perform.
Saturday, June 6th: Ann Hampton Callaway at Feinstein's!! Woohoo! Ann has long been an idol of mine and I was SO disappointed when I couldn't make her run at Dizzy's earlier in the year! She's got it all - an amazing voice, jazz chops, impeccable pitch, and heartfelt interpretation. This show is in celebration of her newest CD, At Last, and I can't wait to see it! Shows are at 8:00 and 10:30 p.m., see Feinstein's website for more info!
Monday, June 8th: Cast Party at Birdland. Hosted by Jim Caruso, this fantastic open mic runs from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. but again, make sure you get there early to sign up if you want to sing! I'll be getting there late this week, as I'll be at the Yankee Game first, but I'll definitely make it!

I cook, I don't bake.
Cooking, to me, is free of baking's constraints: the careful measuring, the planning ahead, the 'measure twice and cut once' attitude.
When I cook, I can heat up a pan, toss in a little of this, some of that, decide at the last minute that it really needs a handful of the other thing, and I can do all this with an expectation that it will all come out tasting.. well, at least decent. This philosophy lends itself best to tomato sauces, soups, and chili, but I've managed to apply it to ice cream too.
The point here is that baking requires a knowledge of chemistry, and cooking does not.
Some context: I tasted some great lemon frozen yogurt a few weeks ago (it was at the Fancy Food Show
, which was an awesome and all-around mind blowing experience that I really need to write about, but it was so incredible I'm not sure where to start). It was, not surprisingly, from Jeni
*, and since I had three limes sitting in my fridge (you know, the ones I didn't use for the Thai Lime Chile sorbet
- which turned out pretty well, after I refroze the canister and churned it again), I figured I'd just replace the lemons in the recipe with my limes.
Jeni's frozen yogurt recipe is pretty much her ice cream base, with the addition of some strained (i.e., greek) yogurt. So I did the milk+sugar+corn syrup mixture in the pot, and added the peel of my three limes (per the instructions, the peel is easier to strain out later than using a grater to zest it). I also put together a lime syrup of sugar and fresh squeezed juice.
And here's where we get to the whole chemistry thing. The recipe calls for bringing the milk mixture to a boil for four minutes, which I've done many times, including for my Lemon Mint ice cream.** But this time.. it separated. Pretty badly, too.
See how it parted? It's not supposed to do that.
Those white specks on the lime peel? Yeah, I think those are milk curds.
So what happened? No idea. My first guess was that limes have more acid than lemons, which caused the milk to curdle. But then I found a lime frozen yogurt recipe in Jeni's book, which calls for doing exactly what I did.
When I added the yogurt (unstrained.. I didn't have any cheesecloth in the house), it (mostly) hid the milk curds.
You can barely tell how badly it separated.
And in a blind taste test, my tasters said that it was kind of grainy but they didn't spit out it or anything. (What's that? Tasters? Of course I have tasters! What kind of amateur, mom-and-pop operation do you think I'm running here, anyway. Geez.)
And worst comes to worst, I'll eat it myself. I just hope I don't need to learn chemistry to continue my path towards world domination through ice cream. That sounds too much like work.
* Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of David Lebovitz's recipes, and I'm sure if he decided to start selling his ice cream, it would be incredible. But his recipe uses egg yolks, and I think Jeni's technique is a little faster and easier (read: it appeals to my laziness). Plus, I don't end up with a handful of left-over egg whites.
**I just realized I haven't written about the Lemon Mint or the Bacon Peanut Brittle ice creams I made. (Katie tells me I'm getting a big head, but I really think those came out well.) Man, I need to get on the ball. My bad.
Thai Chili Lime sorbet. It speaks to the five flavors of thai food, all bundled up in delicious, melt-in-your-mouth sorbet. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it. I thought so too. Even better, the recipe was easy, and the only thing I needed to go get was a jalapeno (recipes that make me go buy a handful of new ingredients that will inevitably sit unused in the back of my fridge/end of my spice rack/dark corners of the cabinet always turn me off).
Things started out easily enough:
Make a simple syrup, and steep the chopped jalapeno for an hour.
I've been making a lot of simple syrup for use in iced tea, mojitos and old fashioneds, so this was no problem. I even pretended to be a real food blogger by taking a couple of pictures.
Look at everything, all set out and ready. I thought about measuring out the corn syrup and everything else in advance, but decided that was excessive.
What's that? The limes? You heard a rumor I used lime juice instead of the fresh limes, huh? Well, I'm not saying. But if I did use lime juice, I'm sure it was that over-priced organic not-from-concentrate juice I got at the organic market sunday night, because my usual market didn't have any lime juice. Plus, in this hypothetical situation, I can save the fresh lime for making you a mojito or something, so stop complaining.
Here's an action shot of the jalapeno steeping in the simple syrup.
Step 2 of 3- how easy can it get.
Drain the syrup, and combine with corn syrup, salt, coconut milk, and the juice of three limes.
Looking back, here is where things first got a little ugly. To start with, the coconut milk I had on-hand was 'light'. I'm not totally sure where it came from.. it may even be several years old, from when my younger brother moved out of DC and gave me the contents of his kitchen. We don't use a lot of coconut milk, and when we do, I typically pick up a regular, full-fat can. But one of the reasons I chose this recipe was I knew I had a couple cans in the house. I didn't know in advance they were 'light', but once I found it, it was too late to fix it (read: I was too lazy to go to the store).
Chill the mixture, and then churn per manufacturer's instructions.
Every ice cream recipe I've ever seen includes some variation of this line. Basically, you want the mixture to be nice and cold so it doesn't raise the temperature of the ice cream canister (the thing that actually freezes the ice cream) too much. So I let it sit in the fridge overnight, and then I poured it into the machine and turned it on.
10 minutes.. 15 min, 30 min.. nothing.
I finally admitted failure. What went wrong? I'm not sure. Hopefully it was just the ice cream canister wasn't cold enough. We used a lot of ice this weekend making cocktails, so maybe the frequent opening and closing of the freezer door let out too much cold air. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. I put the canister back in the freezer, and I'll give it a couple days. On the other hand, if it was something in the recipe (like my light coconut milk), then we could have a problem.
Now look.. I'm the first to argue that ice cream is awesome
. But I admit, it can be a demanding mistress. The canister has to be in the freezer 12+ hours before you want to use it; you need to have milk, eggs, and sugar in the house; you end up with lots of extra egg whites; you end up wildly overeating, since you tend to have a couple of quarts of homemade ice cream in the house.. oh, that's just me? Whatever.
So this recipe from theKitchn for Magic One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream
caught my attention. Not only does it only have one ingredients, but it doesn't even need an ice cream maker. This morning, I found myself with some extra time, a banana in the freezer, and a camera. The result? My first photo essay.
The recipe calls for using fresh banana and then freezing it for an hour or two. I don't have any patience, so that would be an issue for me, but luckily I keep a couple bananas in the freezer*. Not because of any latent OCD or foresight- I just buy too many bananas, and when I can't eat them all in time, I put them in the freezer (peel them first!).
*Yeah, that looks more like a couple of mackerel filets from the sale bin at Giant than bananas.. maybe they've been in the freezer too long. But they'll still taste good.
Again, the recipe calls for cutting the banana into coins before freezing them, but thanks to that massive cleaver, I cut them up frozen. Don't worry- the hardest part of the recipe is now behind us.
Using either a blender or food processor, blend the banana. Hey Cuisinart, how's that for product placement? Call me!
At first, it'll just look like finely chopped banana.
Then.. it'll still look like chopped banana. No really.. this will take a little while. I did it in 10-15 second bursts, and it didn't seem to do much.
Finally, after about a minute, you can start to see some blending.
Don't stop, you're almost there. Until..
Hey! That looks a little like ice cream.
At this point, you can put it in the freezer for a couple of hours, and, much like freshly churned ice cream, it will harden and become scoopable. Needless to say, I ate it immediately.
My thoughts: If you don't have an ice cream maker, or don't feel like making ice cream, this is a reasonable fall back. It's quick, easy, and cheap.. that's pretty much my trifecta in the kitchen.
But make no mistake.. I wouldn't call this real
ice cream. If you want banana ice cream, check out this great Roasted Banana Ice Cream
recipe from David Lebovitz. Now THAT is banana ice cream. But.. that will also take several hours from start to finish (most of it is either roasting the bananas or letting it chill before churning). Update:
When I was getting the links for this post, I found this related article, with five variations on the recipe: Magic One Ingredient Ice Cream 5 Ways: Peanut Butter, Nutella, and more
And to be honest? It's 11 at night, and I'm not going to go make ice cream. But I have another banana in the freezer, and some nutella and peanut butter in the cabinet... odds are pretty good I'm going to make this in a few minutes. A jayvee version of ice cream in five minutes
. That's a pretty nice trick.
Later today I'm going to an ice cream making class at Historic 6th and I
I'm really curious what it's going to be like. I've never been to an ice cream class before. I feel like there are a lot more costs associated with making ice cream than say, making Thai food (I took a Thai cooking class with Arlington county years ago).
It's capped at 30 people, and at $15 a head, that's not a lot of money to work with. You figure maybe $50 for the teacher (assuming a 2 hr class), and the synagogue is putting it on, so there's no (or minimal) rental fee. Plus, ice cream can be kind of expensive, when you're working with high-end ingredients, like organic cream and fancy chocolates (note: I don't).
How will they handle the multiple ice cream machines they'll need? Or will they rent a professional machine for the day? (That would be awesome, but those are pricey). What kind of crowd is going to be there? Am I about to wander into a big, underground ice cream making community? The first rule of ice cream club is there is no ice cream club
? No, of course not... as far as you know.
Plus, there's so much variation in how to make ice cream. French or Philadelphia style? Jeni's
approach, where you replace eggs with chemistry? Will she know who David Lebovitz
is? Will this turn into a Jets vs. Sharks brawl?
And of course the big question.. how much ice cream will I get to eat?
I'll report back.
I wandered in a few minutes before 2 pm, and was greeted by a big room with several round tables, with four or five people at each. Each seat had a packet of paper, with some ice cream making tips and two recipes: Coffee Straciatella and Vanilla Bean with Salted Caramel and Chocolate Covered Potato Chips.
The crowd was mostly girls in their late twenties, and many of them seemed to know each other. Pretty much what you would get, I think, at any local gathering of similarly-aged jews on the east coast. So many of them went to the same summer camps when they were younger, it could have been their ten year reunion.
In front of the room were two tables, each with an ice cream maker, a couple of electric burners, and assorted pots and spatulas.
Good news/bad news time. Good news: both flavors sounded really good, and I was excited to try the salted caramel and chocolate-covered potato chips mix-ins. Bad news: two ice cream machines (at about a quart each) / 30 people = not enough ice cream for me. Hopefully they anticipated this, and pre-made a whole batch.
The class itself was run by Naomi Sugar (her real name.. she did not, she pointed out, change her name for her blog. "That would be weird."), of 365 Scoops
. She gave a good walk-through of how to make an egg-based custard, with some helpful if basic tips on how to make ice cream. I tried to picture myself in her place giving the class, and while I'm probably technically proficient, I couldn't have matched her energy, so good job by her.
My second favorite part of the day? Her salted caramel sauce went wrong, resulting in a crystallized mess. No, of course I'm not happy that something went wrong. Far from it.. especially since it meant I didn't get to eat any. Rather, I was happy to see that I'm not the only one who screws up their caramel sauce, and I felt a little better that it happens to the pros too.
My favorite part, of course, was eating the ice cream at the end. Turns out they made several batches earlier this morning, and she served three flavors. Coffee straciatella, Triple chocolate with peanut butter cup brownies (served a la mode), and Key lime pie with caramel-covered graham crackers. All were good, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think some of my ice cream is actually a little better (to be fair, this was made in bulk, in someone else's kitchen.. probably not her best example).
That said, I'm very impressed by her ambition. Not only does she have a real blog, not only does she sell her ice cream, but she MADE caramel-covered graham crackers and chocolate-covered potato chips. Those are both great examples of the kind of thing that makes me skip right over a recipe. I'm MUCH too lazy to make that sort of thing. But what really makes me feel inferior? She has real ice cream containers, with her name on them and everything! Definitely a step up from Giant-brand cottage cheese containers.
Anyway, after stuffing my face with several little cups (what.. there were 25 jewish girls in that room. I knew most of them would feel too hampered by social pressure to go back for seconds, so I ate theirs), I called it a day. I figured I needed to save room for dinner, and besides, they were just about out of ice cream.
So there you have it. My day at ice cream school.
My birthday was a few weeks ago (and yeah, I'm still waiting for your card).
My in-laws stepped up big though, and got me a new ice cream book. It's written by the guys from Humphrey Slocumbe
, in San Francisco. Whenever I admit to the possibility of moving to the West Coast, it's places like this that draw me. For some reason, there seem to be a lot more little hole-in-the-wall ice cream places in California than here in DC.
With friends coming to visit, I figured this was a good excuse to make something a little more involved than my usual cholate hazelnut (as incredible as it is). Flipping through the book, I found a recipe for a bourbon caramel sauce, that only needed a couple ingredients and sounded really easy. Plus, it was a bourbon caramel sauce. That's all upside.
Here's the recipe:
- Put some sugar and water in a pot
- Turn up the heat, and leave it alone. When it starts to caramelize, add the bourbon.
I spend enough time on food blogs to know that people think making caramel is hard. National Spelling Bee hard (I'm looking at you 'guetapens'
). But this recipe looked so easy, I figured they must be talking about some other kind of caramel. And if there was a lot of room for error, surely they would have mentioned something in the recipe, right?
Well.. they weren't, and they didn't. My first two tries turned into a pot full of crystallized sugar. I would have taken pictures, but it was too disheartening. Thanks to a Good Eats
clip, Katie's urging, and my innate stubbornness, I rallied for a third attempt, and victory was mine.
may be too strong a word.
I was looking at a half-inch thick block of boubon-caramel rock candy, smeared out on my silpat baking sheet. At that point, I called a truce with chemistry, covered the candy with some plastic wrap, and went to bed.
After a couple days to recover, it was time to see whether I could salvage anything from the mess I'd made. The first question was, how do I break it up into small enough pieces so people eating the ice cream don't crack a tooth? Katie's answer: a hammer.
You would think by now I would know better than to doubt her. The hammer worked perfectly (just ignore the little shards of candy all over the kitchen floor), and I mixed the candy into the ice cream. I was a little hesitant, because some of the pieces were big enough to choke a horse, but I knew if worst came to worst, it just meant more for me.
But.. by some weird fluke of chemistry, the little chunks of bourbon-caramel goodness kind of melted, resulting in this incredible caramel flavored ice cream (the bourbon gets a little lost), with soft little nuggets of bourbon-caramel candy inside.
And that little puddle at the bottom of the container? That's bourbon-caramel sauce! Maybe if you're lucky I'll save you a bite.

Believe it or not, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is one of the most promising altcoins on the crypto market. The 4h largest cryptocurrency by market cap has been soaring and coming closer to the $1,500 mark after a company announced to build a marketplace dedicated to BCH. In other words, this means that the cryptocurrency will get priority in being paired with other crypto assets too.
On top of all this, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) recently announced a new hard fork, which made its price even higher. As the market consolidates, Bitcoin Cash has risen in terms of price by more than 30% and more than 18% in the past 48 hours alone.
The hard fork will certainly make Bitcoin Cash (BCH) faster. So far, hard forks like these resulted in tokens like Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Atom, Bitcoin Private and others – of which Bitcoin Cash is by far and away the most successful one.
According to James Song, the founder and CEO of a blockchain startup named ExsulCoin, the upcoming fork will add or reactivate several operation codes. As Song stated:
“This particular bit of news is what is driving market excitement around bitcoin cash.”
With gains of over 17% in the past 48 hours, Bitcoin Cash has risen more than 60% since its bottom-low on April 6th – and came from a low of $603.71 to the current price of $1,374.62 (at press time).
The upcoming hard fork is known as Bitcoin ABC and is scheduled for May 15th. According to many, it will definitely push the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) value up even more.

Marina Sol is a quiet property and the courtyard is suitably called the Oasis with the large pool, grassed courtyard and soothing palms! Enjoy the quiet or head out for all the fun, active and day/nightlife that suits you!
My wife, 3yr daughter and I loved our stay at Marina Sol. For us it was all about location. You can literally walk everywhere which was important for us with a 3yr old. The pool area at Marina Sol was great with a bar and restaurant on site. Staff were very friendly and the enclosed location made us feel very safe. There is a great lounge area with wifi access to get out of the sun if you need a break from all the heat.
The beach is a 2 minute walk and you are right in the center of the action of Medano Beach with plenty of options to have lunch, cervezas, or dinner right on the beach.
The condo is well stocked with all the gear you need for a beach or pool day. Coolers, umbrella, pool noodles, etc...
There is countless restaurants and shopping nearby. We became big fans of Taco Gardenias, and Sharky's Grill for some amazing tacos which were both less than one block away.
Great place, we were very impressed with Marina Sol and you can't beat this value. The covered patio is much bigger than the photos indicate which was a good surprise. Be aware that there is some street noise while hanging out on the patio due to facing the outside of the complex. Karen was very good to deal with and quick to respond to all my questions.
This Condo and Location at Marina Sol is the ticket. The Location can't be beat. We have Stayed here before and will be staying here again. The people Here are amazing. The pool side bar and grill rocks, with prices that cant be beat. You really don't need to leave Marina Sol. Just to go Fishing. The condo ower is fantastic to deal with. No hassles. Go to Cabo for the fishing, Go to Marina Sol for the Vacation.
My husband and I along with our 2 kids ages 6 and 4 stayed her for 1 week. The condo was perfect for our family. I loved having the bedroom so we did not have to share a room with the kids. They slept on the pull out bed in the living room and loved every minute of it. All of the staff at the condo complex was so helpful and nice. We arrived just in time for 50 cent tacos at the bar by the pool, I believe it was called the Oasis. There was 6 adults and 2 kids and our bill was less than $30.00 that included beers and my kids that just had to have a cheeseburger. I couldn't believe it they love mexican food at home and orders a cheeseburger in Mexico :-( We spent most of our time at the beach and walking the Marina which is a couple of blocks away. It has a little bit of a hill to climb to get to the marina but for the price we paid for this 1 bedroom condo it was well worth the walk. The condo had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Our kids loved the pool and for the most part there was hardly anyone there. I can't wait to go back and will not stay any where else. I want to thank the owners for opening their home to us, we will never forget the memories that were made here!
Very homey condo with all the amenities you will need. Great location. Very close to town - walk everywhere. Close to Medano Beach. Lush pool area including a swim up bar. Grill/restaurant at the pool was good with special meal events in the evening, a very friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Great condo for families.

No Boots On The Ground!
That Story Has Certainly Changed!!
US troops engaged in hostile fire with ISIS terrorists over the weekend in a fight that the Iraqis are not ready to counter without US brothers in arms. Now more US troops will be returning to Iraq in just a few short weeks.
So except for minimal advisory support, Barack Obama ended the War in Iraq? Yea sure, in your dreams Obama! This fraudulent president can sell his wishful thinking to someone else! According to ShaFaq News, a professional media information site of the Faili Kurds that covers reporting for all Iraqi provinces and the Kurdistan Region, Americans are getting involved again. In fact, the trouble in Iraq is starting to heat up again and that means more American troops will be sacrificed at the alter of this president’s failure to act earlier when ISIS could have been more easily contained. However, the Obama’s still plan to enjoy their Christmas vacation in Hawaii, my goodness doesn’t that make us all feel better!
In the early hours of Sunday morning, 14 Dec. 2014, US Special Forces engaged hostile fire with members of ISIS for the first time and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. In a counter-attack carried out by tribal forces of the Iraqi army near Ein al-Asad base, west of Anbar province, US military personnel partnered with Iraqi forces to repel a sudden ISIS assault and successfully drove them from the al-Dolab area, which lies 10 kilometers from the Ain al-Assad base. F18 Hornets provided air support so that US troops could assist Iraqi forces and repel the armed aggression with only light and medium weapons against the enemy’s heavier fire power.
Sheikh Mahmud Nimrawi, a prominent tribal leader in the region, explained that,
Because ISIS militants were aggressively advancing close to the base, US forces were forced to intervene out of self defense. The Sheikh declared that US intervention was a very welcomed asset to the ranks of his warriors and hoped that it would not be the last.
Furthermore, he told Shafaq News that the US had promised to provide his fighters with more weapons. 16 December 2014, Shafaq News
This event occurred early Sunday morning on 14 Dec., as of Thursday 18 Dec., ISIS had effectively besieged a military/police headquarters west of Ramadi, by preventing the arrival of reinforcements and food items. At this time the security forces stationed at the post are forced to endure a very difficult situation due to the acute shortage of food and water.
So What Does This Mean For the United States?
Yep, you guessed it. As discreetly reported by Fox and various other news networks as a minor story. The fact that more US troops will be sent to Iraq after the holidays does not meet the priority of North Korea’s cyber crimes or Obama’s warm embrace of a fellow Marxist thug, Fidel Castro. How he must envy Castro’s power without accountability!
In the meantime, some families and friends of active duty military personnel must prepare to kiss their loved ones goodbye, because the next wave of American troops will begin to deploy to Iraq in just a few weeks. Lt. Gen. James Terry, who leads the U.S. campaign to defeat ISIS, cautions that it will take at least three years to build the capabilities of the Iraqi military so they are up to the task of planning and executing their own operations to regain contested areas such as Mosul.
Though some concerns do exist among America’s top brass that Iraq’s military is far from ready to undertake an ambitious desire to retake Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq, out going Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said last week, that the U.S. is working with senior Iraqi leaders on plans to launch such a counter offensive and yes, US troops are likely to be involved.
In writing this story, the game plan is changing by the hour and I can barely keep up. Just hours ago, Haaretz, a news organization from Israel reports that the Pentagon has authorized 1300 more troops to Iraq. This is in addition to 1,500 troops that Obama authorized in November. About 1,000 soldiers will be from a combat team based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and they are individuals with counterintelligence, logistical and communication skills. However, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said at a news briefing that,
Their mission will be to train, advise and assist Iraqi security forces.
Excuse me, but haven’t we heard that one before? Is that not how Vietnam began under John F. Kennedy, except this time we already have a serious history in Iraq? One other thought that I must press forward, ISIS is not only interested in slaughtering Kurds and anyone else that does not measure up to their sick standards, they are particularly eager to fight Americans and will work hard to do so. As a result, we can only hope that our people can just be left to do their jobs and train Iraqis, but let us prepare for the worst.
Just hours ago U.S.-backed Kurdish forces broke through a month long siege held by ISIS militants on Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq. This assault opened a corridor for thousands of Yezidi civilians that had been trapped there since August and is the biggest victory against the terrorist group so far. Masrour Barzani, the head of the Kurdistan Region Security Council, was quoted by Kurdish broadcaster Rudaw as saying,
Peshmerga forces were able to connect with their brothers on Mount Shingal (Sinjar) after launching a military operation. 19 Dec. 2014, Haaretz
Thousands of civilians, mainly members of the Yezidi minority, fled to the mountain in August after the militant group captured the northern town of Sinjar. That three ISIS leaders were killed by US air strikes that aided the Kurdish triumph, makes my day. Yet, make no mistake, more heads will sprout on this loathsome hydra called ISIS.
I am not against US efforts to train and equip Iraqi forces to secure their own country against evil outlaw extremists. In fact, I see fighting ISIS as a noble cause. However, will our people risk their lives only to have them taken by insider attacks? What of the US blood and treasury that has already been squandered by many, but not all, self serving and religiously prejudiced Iraqis who after the dust of war settled the first time, reverted back to the Dar al Islam (House of Islam) – Dar al Harb (House of War) mentality, which is an us, verses them mindset? Will our troops face war crime charges because they were not nice enough to an ISIS detainee if extracting information should become necessary? As Commander in Chief, Barack Obama has proven time and time again that he does not really care about his troops, nor does he respect them? Serving at the orders of such a president is a very uncomfortable place for members of the military to be. Yet,when they are commanded to go, they must follow orders. If required to fight, human decency should guide the rules of engagement, but common sense must not be thrown out the window for the sake of “leveling out the playing field.” That ridiculous idea must not be allowed to stand! If required to engage the enemy, our troops must be allowed to fight to win!!!
American blood is not cheap!

The menu is wide, the welcome warm and friendly with the occasional fly causing havoc and annoyance.
The open kitchen is interesting and lots of fragrant cooking smells wafting over and the lady making coconut pancakes had me fascinated.
The fish was covered in a light delicate crumb with tasty spicy kick although I'm not sure I could differentiate three flavours. The flavour I did taste was yummy and the broccoli was al dente calming the flaming heat.
I remember the curry being good too with tender meat and the pad thai also delivered in flavour although it was quite wet and sticky and I think I prefer a drier version.
I think I Spicy has captured our tastebuds as a the preferred reasonably priced Thai restaurant and there is so much more to try.

Catagunya Dam restoration project
Client: Hydro Tasmania
Location: Tasmania, Australia
Date: June 2000 – August 2010
Investigating dam stability and designing a cost-effective upgrade solution for long-term dam safety
Catagunya Dam is located on the Derwent River in south-east Tasmania. Designed in the late 1950s and completed in 1962, Catagunya is a 49m-high concrete gravity dam that relies on a large number of 200t-capacity post-tensioned steel cables to provide the necessary structural stability. These old style anchors are protected against corrosion only by the grout column. A 1999 risk assessment highlighted safety deficiencies at Catagunya Dam due to the unknown integrity of its post-tensioned anchors.
Rather than abandon all these anchors, Entura developed an investigation program to assess the integrity of the anchors. The investigation and assessment undertaken at Catagunya Dam indicated the likelihood that some corrosion of the anchors was occurring and that the integrity of the original anchors could no longer be assured. As a result, a decision was made in 2004 to cease reliance on the anchors, and in 2009-10 major upgrade works occurred. The stability of the dam was restored using 92 modern, large-diameter and corrosion-protected post-tensioned anchors that can be monitored for their load.
At Catagunya Dam, tensile steel reinforcing is required on the top surface of the downstream face of the spillway to support the large cantilever overhanging the spillway. This steel was to be severed as the large-diameter headblocks for the new anchors were cored. A major innovation for this project was the use of carbon fibre reinforcement to provide this tensile capacity.
Detailed investigations including in situ groundwater testing, laboratory corrosion testing, in situ potentiostatic polarisation testing and detailed analysis concluded that the old anchors could not be relied upon, and therefore provided a strong case for these major upgrade works. The most cost-effective solution to stabilise the dam was to install new modern, very high capacity, post-tensioned anchors, which are now monitored on a 5-yearly basis. The restoration works were designed and constructed to maintain the hydraulic performance of the ogee crest spillway.

Causes and contributors to neonatal deaths during a Health system strengthening project in Luuka District , Eastern Uganda
MetadataShow full item record
Background; In Sub Sahara Africa and Uganda, neonatal mortality is high. There are evidence- based interventions for reducing neonatal deaths, but they are not widely available. In addition, numerous interventions to improve neonate outcomes are being implemented in Uganda. Despite this, significant number of neonates are still lost. Despite health system strengthening measures, there is a lack of data to determine which neonates die and why. A three-year project named Community in which Mothers and Newborns Thrive (COMONETH) was undertaken in Luuka district. The project had concerted efforts to strength health services to reduce neonatal deaths. This study aimed at identifying the causes of death, associated factors in regards to neonatal mortality during a health strengthening project in Luuka district. Objectives; to determine the causes and contributors of neonatal deaths during a health system strengthening project in Luuka district, eastern Uganda. Methods; This study used secondary community verbal and social autopsy data collected for a period of 3 years from 2017 to 2019, in a health system strengthening intervention –the Community in which Mothers and Newborns Thrive project using a verbal and social autopsy questionnaire. To determine the cause of death, two independent medical officers used WHO- ICD -10 criteria to code them. STATA14.0 was used to evaluate the verbal and social autopsy codes while thematic content analysis was used to study the qualitative data. Furthermore, 10 Key informant interviews were held with the 2 Community Health workers, 8 health workers and 6 in-depth interviews were held with household members. Results; Between 2017 and 2019, data was collected on 172 neonatal deaths, of which 45.5% were female and 54.1% were male. In the early neonatal period (0 to 7 days) ,95.9% neonates died while 4.1% died in late neonatal period (8 to 28days). Birth asphyxia (43%), low birth weight/prematurity (18.6%), other perinatal causes (12.2%) and neonatal sepsis (9.3%) were the leading cause of mortality. Delay in receiving proper care in the facility or Delay 3 (45.9%) and delay in seeking for care or Delay 1 (43%) were the leading contributors to neonatal mortality. The neonatal deaths which had no identifiable delay contributing to the deaths were 6.4%. The government facilities accounted for 43 percent of all births while private clinics accounted for 30.8%. However, private health facilities were responsible for the majority of neonatal mortality (34.1%), followed by home deaths (26.2%) and government facilities (25.4%). Qualitative analysis revealed that TBAs/homedeliveries, a lack of understanding about neonatal danger signs, poor referral systems and stock outs of essential drugs and supplies and a lack of room for neonatal care facilities were the major contributing factors of neonatal mortality. Conclusion: The greatest contributors to neonate death were delays at home (Delay 1) and delays in receiving proper care in health facilities (Delay 3). The delay caused by transportation was minimal. Private clinics had 34.1% of the newborn‘s deaths. Birth asphyxia was the main cause of death followed by preterm and other perinatal factors, with sepsis contributing the least. There is a need to improve neonatal care in health facilities, regulate private healthcare providers and strengthen /empower families and communities. The use of verbal and social autopsy as part of district programming could improve health care and provide policy guidance.

I have all the weather apps above. I trust none of them. Seriously, I look and still feel like I’ve received no information at all.
Right now, it’s about 100% cloudy, all the apps say it’s clear, except one, “Weather Forecast”, second from the top left. Cayman Islands Weather Service app always says rain. I don’t even think they have any sunny icons.
Dive boat operators have good weather apps. They’re always moving their boats to the appropriate side of the island the day before the weather. But their source of info seems to be the world’s greatest secret.
I wanna ride my scooter, but I’m taking the van. Again. I got rained on Monday or Tuesday.
Have a wonderful, sunny weekend! Happy Friday! And tell me, what’s your weather app?
Well, our weather apps all say the same thing: cold! And, some add additional snow and sleet. February in Ohio. 🙂 That’s OK, I’m inside knitting by the fireplace accompanied by three beautiful Labradors who love to go out and play in the snow. I hope you have a great weekend.
It sounds nice and cozy!

The Word of God does not stop at the last "Amen" in Revelation. As I was on my way to church one Sunday , the Holy Spirit said to me "You are still in bible times." When we read the bible we sometimes put it in a box.
We put a distance between our lives and the sixty six books, as if we are incapable of being used by God in the same way He used the people in thoes books. If the Word of God is living and active, then it is not restricted to just sixty six books. You and I are not any less or more important than the disciples that walked with Christ.
When Christ came into your life He started the Gospel within you. So the people that come into your path have a chance to read from your life, the Gospel according to (your name here). You are an apostle to someone in your sphere of influence. God wants them to read from your book.
The Bible is our blueprint for life, just because the Gospel of (your name here) is not physically written in it does not make you any less significant. We have to realize the authority God gave us, to impact this world.
Much Love & God Bless
