When the world is heating up, there is no reason to leave red wine out of the equation. Renegade provides you with a premium example of an ancient grape steeped in Italian culture and quiet rebellion. One woman in particular returned to her home in Sicily and reinvigorated not only Frappato but other noteworthy varieties. Where others saw Frappato as a blending grape, she was one of the first people to recognize it can stand on its own and has gained a slight cult following. Beat the heat with us with a chilled red or your favorite beverage to quench your thirst.

From IT analyst to vegan ice cream entrepreneur—my twenty-year journey as a vegan has culminated in the creation of Houston's most unique frozen treat experience. When my favorite vegan ice cream shop in Austin closed its doors, I didn't just lament the loss of great desserts; I recognized an opportunity to fill a void in the market while staying true to my values.Drawing on analytical skills honed through years in information technology, I approached building my business with methodical precision. Rather than becoming overwhelmed by the enormity of entrepreneurship, I broke the process down into small, achievable goals—a technique borrowed from agile project management. This step-by-step approach allowed me to transform a vision board dream into a tangible business serving thousands of customers.What makes our venture special is both the product and the philosophy behind it. We've created what may be the first ice cream truck that actually makes the ice cream on-site, offering fresh, 100% vegan frozen treats that never compromise on taste or ethics. Operating as a solo entrepreneur has its challenges, but it's allowed me to maintain complete control over quality and values. The business represents a perfect alignment of personal passion with professional ambition—proof that ethical entrepreneurship can thrive when approached with patience, planning, and purpose. Join me on this journey as I document the growth of this vegan ice cream concept from local favorite to what I hope will become a worldwide brand.Have you visited us in Katy yet? If not, stop by or tell a friend about Houston's freshest vegan ice cream experience.

It's been a difficult month for me after hearing the death of one of my closest friends: THAD BOOGIE, who died at such a young age. I don't want to go through it so much, as I do a eulogy for him on the podcast. The whole issue has definitely made me look at my own life, and how time is so short and you really got to make the most of it. Chilled soul, classic vibes from my Soul Partizan vaults, a great interview from label owner of “Aloa got soul” @RogerBong, Hip Hop you don't stop & some fantastic headbangers, add to this special edition

We speak but the words fall frail /Echoes lost on silent trail. Eyes meet, yet fail to see /The love that once flowed effortlessly.Fingers brush, then slip away /Chilled by fears we're afraid say.A fortress built of pain and pride /Walls between where hearts should abide.Oh, how we ache to mend the seam /To find again the shared dream.But silence grows where love should dwell /interruption and disruption prevails.The DisConNect present by:DJ Mike Nick's ...

In River City, trouble isn't hard to find—and Jake Sledge, former cop turned private eye, knows it better than most. A prominent attorney is found murdered outside his River City office. Jake Sledge and his partner, Bobo Johnson, are drawn into a case that quickly spirals out of control. They uncover chilling connections to frozen evidence, shadowy underworld figures, notorious neo-Nazis, and a dangerous game involving the high-stakes casino industry. The lawyer's death is only the beginning. With every lead raising more questions than answers, Jake and Bobo navigate a tangled web of corruption and betrayal in a city brimming with secrets and lies. The body count rises as the pair comes closer to the truth. It becomes clear that this is more than a job. It's a fight for survival. And, for Jake Sledge, in the gritty streets of River City, survival means staying one step ahead of the enemy while keeping his own demons at bay.

Spilled! ist ein charmantes Indie-Spiel, das mit seiner entspannten Atmosphäre und dem Fokus auf Umweltschutz punktet. Die Spielerin oder der Spieler übernimmt die Rolle eines Bootsführers, der sich die Meere von Verschmutzung freisammelt. Das Spielprinzip ist einfach und doch intensiv: Man steuert ein kleines Boot, sammelt Müll und Öl ein und macht mit verdienten Goldmünzen das Boot immer besser und umweltfreundlicher. Die liebevoll gestaltete Pixelgrafik und die beruhigende Musik schaffen eine angenehme Spielumgebung, in die man sich gerne verliert. Die Upgrades des Bootes sorgen immer wieder für einen kleinen Motivationsschub und neue Herausforderungen. Auch wenn die Spielzeit mit etwa einer Stunde relativ kurz ist, hinterlässt Spilled! einen nachhaltigen Eindruck. Die Entwicklerin Lente hat ein wichtiges Thema, das auch uns alle betrifft, auf eine spielerische Weise aufgegriffen. Und spendet außerdem einen Teil der Einnahmen an die WDC Wal- und Delfinschutz Organisation. Im Gameplay erinnert uns Spilled! an Titel wie Dredge oder Dave the Diver, das Wechselspiel des Bootes mit der Umwelt steht aber im Vordergrund. Ein kleines aber feines Spiel, das nicht nur Spaß macht, sondern auch kurz zum nachdenken anregen soll.

Summer Camp Mayhem.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.The miracle is not a person jumping into a torrent to save another. It is the dozen who form a chain to pull them both out.(Midnight in the Grotto of Good and Evil)We were in one of the underground pools at the bottom of the mesa. Our tour guide had informed us there were nine known caves and the complex had never been fully explored due to the remaining waterways being totally submerged. It was well past midnight, all my little friends had crashed out and I had wisely ditched my security after Miyako silently woke me up with her hand over my mouth.She pulled my hand to her lips and sucked deeply on two of my digits. I took this to be an indicator to me she was in dire need of loving. The grotto was my idea. I was inspired by my desire to see her naked and I couldn't risk a light source any place but underground. The tool shed and garage lacked a certain appeal. The fuel depot and septic tank were also ruled out."Is the chaos in your mind still raging, Cáel?" Miyako asked in Nipponese, with enough worry to doubly enhance her cuteness."Which of the twenty-seven unexplained languages rolling around in my head do you want me to answer you in?" my toothy grin barely visible in the darkness.Around half way through my sexual enlightenment in college, I had a revelation. The two guys I had gone road-tripping with took me to a bar in Portsmouth. I caught a woman looking us over. I already had my one-night stand lined up and she was looking most agreeable to my nefarious skullduggery (i.e. she had come with some other guy who preferred beer and darts with his buddies over keeping his attention on what mattered).And then my awakening."Nah, she's too fat," he remarked. For one thing, my friend who said that could have stood to lose ten to fifteen kilograms himself. Next, we were dressed like middle class college kids, jeans, shirts that were most likely clean when we picked them out of the laundry basket, light jackets and the shoe thing.This girl was dressed up for a good night out. Nice makeup, her clothing choices were, eh, not stunning, but this wasn't a stunning nightclub/bar. She looked fun, she smiled and yes, she was overweight. It dawned on me that not only did I not care, I never cared. I was a sexual omnivore and that meant any lady interested in sex with me was fine in my book.So, I turned the tables on him."If you can score her number, I'll give you my watch," I dared him. The wristwatch was really nice, one of those $500 handmade German ones. One of my Ex's great-granddad had swiped it off some Nazi pilot in World War II, and the same girl gave it to me twice. See, by accident, as I was exiting the (thankfully) first floor window of the Natural Sciences building, she threw a pitcher at me.It had been sitting in an ornamental display case close by. I caught it, nodded to the flabbergasted female professor-type gawking at the semi-naked me, handed her the projectile, then fled like the responsibility-dodging coward that I was. It turned out that that bit of crockery was from the mid-1600's; the woman I'd surprised was the item's owner.That older lady wasn't a teacher. She was a major benefactor in charge of one of the school's larger endowments. Had it shattered, the Ex most likely would have been expelled. Instead, after watching me round the Chancellor's residence, the mature chick turned to the totally naked chick leaning out the window, still screaming at me."Is he on the track team?" she inquired as she handed the artifact back. They talked, agreed I was a miserable human being, a cad and had firmly developed buttocks. Well, I guess that makes me a pig with nice hams. The next day, I showed up to return the watch, it was just an excuse for one more round of sex.She explained the whole incident to me, took back the watch and sent me on my way. I hurried back to my dorm room, changed the sheets and picked up a bit. An hour later she was quietly knocking at my door. Rather epic make-up sex followed, she gave me the watch as a keepsake and I swore off intercourse in classrooms for two whole months. I'm a tower of resolute willpower, I know.Back at the bar, my buddy snorted, made some comment about her being obviously desperate and promised me he'd nail in her in one of the back rooms. They talked a little, he got 'friendly', then said something that really hurt the girl's feelings. She looked our way, steadied herself with a shot of bourbon and came over to me and my other bud."Did you tell that guy you would give him fifty bucks if I put a lipstick ring on his cock?" she confronted us."No, I told him you were too good for him and if he could get your phone number, I would give him this watch," I showed her the watch. The girl's face flashed back to 'cautiously curious'."Is it a nice watch?" she asked."It is a family heirloom. My great-grandpa brought it back from World War II after taking it off some high ranking kraut officer," I embellished. "I knew he didn't have a chance with you.""Thanks," she grinned. "I agree. Let me get my sister and we can get a bite to eat." Sex.Two guesses of who her sister was. If you guessed the girl I had been cultivating since I got there, you would be right. I am too damn lucky. Lads, the next time you blow a sure thing, blame me for sucking all the good karma away from you, and nine of your friends. I got a three-way. The guy I made the challenge to, got his revenge. He bailed and I had to hitchhike back to school. You know, female truckers, oh, back to Miyako.After stashing our clothing and weapons (all of mine anyway), I took a small fluorescent lantern and slipped into the water. Cold, but doable. Miyako joined me and then, by moonlight, we swam to the point where the guide had said we'd find a passage to a secluded grotto. Down we went. My motivation wasn't sex.That was coming no matter what. Seeing my Nipponese sweetie completely nude directed my course of action. Security protocols meant no lights after 11 p.m. My solution was to cut on a light that couldn't be seen from outside, the grotto. We felt our way along the rather wide submerged passage emerging well before air became an issue. I raised the lantern and cut it on.Our tour guru had forgotten to mention that the algae patches along the sides and bottom as well as the quartz veins on the roof and walls reflected the light over what must have been an eight by ten meter cavern. Gorgeous. We glided to a shelf that met our needs, climbed up and shared a high school 'nervous virgin' moment. She broke the spell by pulling herself out of the water and, standing on her tippy-toes, touched one of the roof veins.I drank in every inch of my little ninja babe's lithe, finely tuned body. Once she got over the newness of my voyeurism, she became playful, giving me a variety of silhouettes and poses. I stripped and returned the favor, which earned me a giggling fit. As I took a minute to sit down and stare into the tranquility of the still surface, she snuck up on me.She said it all with her eyes. I tried to speak, but she put a forefinger to my lips. 'Hold me forever,' her eyes relayed her intentions. 'Love me for all eternity and think of no one else but me.' My elbows were locked, supporting my upper torso as she hovered over my lap. She was a lone feather falling upon the unyielding stone.With one hand behind her, she guided my cock into the wet, luxurious vice that was her cunt. We took it in increments. A sigh more at home in whispered Nirvana than on mortal tongues escaped her lips as she nestled all the way down. We didn't fuck. We rocked back and forth in a timid motion.As Miyako became accustomed to me once more, she would lean farther back with each pulse until an in and out rhythm was achieved. I took the occasion of her victory to pluck her left nipple into my mouth. Experience had taught me that was her more sensitive one. For several seconds, she fought it before knowledge caught up with instinct, then she loosed her passion.After her vibrations subsided, she rested her body tightly against mine. I still impaled her and she was returning a fraction of that warmth."Do you ever think you will find true love?" she whispered into my ear, in Nipponese. I was drawing my finger through her damp hair as it trailed down her back."As in love one over all others, no," I confided. "Even if I did, I could never admit it.""Why not?" she asked in Mandarin.In French I explained; "My life is a mad race through the forest and I don't know if I am a hound or the stag. I don't dare slow down until I know, and that is no way to repay such devotion.""When do you think the race will end for you?" she moaned softly, in English."I would really like to hold a child of mine. I don't regret my life's path up until now, yet I leave so very little of me behind if it ends soon," I muttered in Nipponese, and then chuckled. "It used to be at the first sign of a pregnancy test, I would panic. The World turns very rapidly."A minute passed as she went from warm to heatedly sensuous."Less talk, more babies," she sacrificed her emotions for my well-being with her oh so naught Baby Metal band voice and questing fingers. How could I say 'no' to that?"I don't think it works that way," I teased."Let's find out." She implored me in NipponeseSometime later, I was lying on my back, Miyako's body extended over mine so that not one precious inch of her touched the cool slick rock surface. Considering our position and location, it took me a bit longer to notice the intruder. I thought she was all kinds of strange. Twin memories and perception joined forces for once.The woman moved through the water, yet she was only hip deep in a place I knew the bottom was three meters below. As she entered our isolated love nest, I noticed she had sent forth not a single ripple in the water. Memory filled in the rest. Her eyes, when her gaze met my own, had that void that comes from a tortured life punctuated by horrors you witness as well as ones you are forced to perform.That was from "me". The electron swarm inside my mind provided another crucial piece of the puzzle. Utukku, phantoms, dead denied entrance to the Nether Realms, trapped between, until some sin had been lifted. The spirit gave me a look of shock, then turned and fled."We are in danger," I hissed to Miyako in Nipponese, before cutting off the lantern.I dove in, angling for the tunnel we'd entered by. I was close enough not to jab my fingers into the stone surface as I clawed my way through. I didn't burst noisily to the surface on the other side. My approach was that of an alligator, slowly letting my head crest the surface so I could look around. No one was in evidence. Miyako was soundless at my side as we scramble to the hiding place of our gear.Miyako held my hand back until she was sure our belongings hadn't been booby-trapped. I had to make quick judgment call: how time critical was this? I went the 'clothes and weapons' route."What is going on?" Miyako spoke quietly."Back there, I saw a feminine Asian ghost and the last time I witnessed such a pained, hopeless look, I was confronting the Seven Pillars," I told her. "Their slave had that same doomed stare.""There are only two things here of value," Miyako made her assessment. "You and the children. You are far more accessible in New York City, so it must be the children." We pressed ourselves tightly to the cave sides when we heard the sound of footsteps coming our way. It was Charlotte, my minder for evening, with her bow notched and ready.Firearms were kept to a minimum after hours, so bows were the order of the day, except for the snipers on the mesa top. My movements must have alerted her. I sat down and continued dressing."Charlotte, the Seven Pillars know we are here, they know the camp is here," I told her."How imminent is the threat?" Charlotte knelt beside me. I didn't know."They must be close, to be making a reconnaissance of the caves," Miyako said with tactical certainty."It was drawn to you, Charlotte, you were out of place, so this thing looked further. Otherwise these caves are irrelevant," she added. Miyako had the mindset of a seasoned professional spy."The cavern and spring have a night guardian," Charlotte countered. "I saw her when I was following you two here."I had on my light bulletproof vest (no shirt), shorts (no underwear) and shoes (no sox)."Let's go check on her to see if she's seen anything," I suggested/ordered.What I had assumed was some sort of bedroll brought by Miyako turned out to be a Ninja Survival pack. This allowed me to weapon up while she dressed up. The amount of time we were taking still ate at my nerves. Charlotte stopped me from heading out first, only to be stopped by Miyako. The ninja slipped out like a cool desert breeze.(Friend, Enemies and those In Between)Thirty seconds later, a plastic BB bounced off my right shoulder. This time, I was leading Charlotte out. No one spoke. We couldn't see Miyako anyway, now dressed in her black pajamas and her face being reduced to just one slit for her eyes. We found the Amazon dead at her post. She was in a cunningly crafted blind not easily spotted from any direction.A quick sweep for 'gifts' left behind revealed nothing, but the corpse yielded plenty. She was shot multiple times with two separate flash and sound suppressed submachine guns. The woman had been alive when we came down and if there had been a firefight, Charlotte would have heard the shots, if not seen them; thus the suppression. The bullet holes suggested a small caliber weapon.Miyako stepped up, held up three fingers. Every piece of the Amazon's gear was still on her. The attackers had shot up her phone box. Wireless communications were deemed too risky so all the outposts had buried land lines. At this point, a few seconds of extra effort stood between the Seven Pillars and success; that and the Goddess Paranoia.Had the assailants yanked up the box and cut the phone line, it would have been rendered useless. Instead, they shot up the device and moved on so that when Charlotte pulled out the cache of concealed goodies, including the spare phone box, we were back in business. As Charlotte got to work switching out the busted for the back-up, I studied our situation.Advanced teams taking out the perimeter guards, and most likely the snipers, didn't make much sense. The camp had 300 highly motivated Amazons. Cutting them off temporarily from their armory and vehicles didn't make any sense, since all Amazons were armed anyway. That left timing. But timing meant nothing if I didn't have the goal of their attack.It came as a double-whammy. The Chinese place a high premium on family and the Seven Pillars had mastered a sadistic art form of turning young foreign women into their concubine/assassins. The Condotteiri would have slaughtered the entire camp. The Seven Pillars would want to kidnap the children, both as current bargaining chips and as future tools.500 girls, 400 could be kidnappable. The oldest would go down fighting with their sisters. How did you get 400 kids out of here? Helicopters? That would be a fuck load of helicopters taking out their team and the children. Besides, helicopters alone couldn't dig them out of their cave and cliff-face strongpoints.Desert, no waterways. That left the road. You couldn't use ATVs, not enough carrying capacity. The smart move would be to have tractor-trailers parked alongside the hard top state road. They would use smaller, more rugged trucks to ferry their captives out to the semis. That suggested some sort of 'cover/support' vehicles.2 half ton trucks with weaponized Hummers providing fire support a la 'Blackhawk Down' and that meant the bridge and the BBQ pit. That objective would solve both of the Seven Pillars problems, moving the main assault group into close contact with the Amazons so the Amazons couldn't organize a defense, and removing their hostages in a prompt manner so they all could be gone before anyone else could react.The Seven Pillars had to have secured the bridge and were mostly likely replacing the missing piers. It was the choke point of their battle plan. Worse for them, it wasn't part of a barricade where they could attrition the Amazon numbers with vehicle mounted heavy weapons. The ditch ran north-south, bow shaped with the arch to the west and was over a kilometer from the camp.The flanks were purposefully strewn with huge boulders that limited traffic to horse and motorcycles, no four-wheelers. They had to have control of the bridge, so that's where I went."Charlotte, I'm going to the bridge," I whispered before slipping out of the blind. I didn't order Miyako to follow me and I was sure Charlotte wanted strangle me for departing from her protective custody.There are four kinds of fights, be they between armies, or individuals. Set-piece (sparring), assaults, ambushes and meeting engagements. I was about to be in the latter one. Meeting engagements happen when opposing forces are set on goals that unknowingly intersect one another. One of the most famous battles in US history, Gettysburg, was a meeting engagement.I was using the bone-dry culvert because we feared the Seven Pillars had replaced our snipers. Miyako was, somewhere else. The enemy commandos used the same conduit to avoid having the remaining Amazon pickets spot them and raising the alarm. I had little doubt that the three men speedily moving south were heading for the grotto and its three inhabitants (Charlotte, Miyako and me).Not knowing that I could both see ghosts and guessed who its demonic masters were, they assumed we were still in the caverns. Me not knowing how this whole ghost-scout thing worked, I assumed that I had a chance of surprising them at the bridge if I moved fast enough. In a final prick of irony, they misinterpreted the role their snipers played in our engagement.They believed that their snipers would alert them if anyone moved on the bridge, ignoring the fact that the snipers didn't have a complete view of the gulch. I was only using the big ditch because I was afraid they had taken out the Amazon snipers and now had the high ground, which turned out to be true. Thank you, Goddess Paranoia.My first tomahawk was in my left hand and my Glock-22 was in my right. My fear of snipers and the bend in the gully saved my life. We literally ran into each other, me and the first 7P soldier. His long barreled Type-05 was pointing past my left, his torso slammed into my pistol, ramming his front armored plate against it as it discharged.The proximity muffled the sound of the gunshot. The bullet failed to punch through his impressive body armor, but the resulting force knocked him down and out. Unfortunately, our shared momentum knocked my gun out of my grasp. My right hand went for tomahawk two. The flattened man's team mates swung their submachine guns my way.Halfway through his shift, a black dart flew out of the western darkness, past the first one, then snapped back. The action caused the hardy thread to wrap around the barrel of his weapon. I couldn't see her, but I knew it was Miyako with her flying wedge with the thread attached. The middle guy was startled and not moving as his training dictated.That allowed me to use him as a shield against the third guy. Right as 7P #2 decided to release his weapon, I kicked him hard into the confused man behind him. Neither man went down, but I still got what I wanted.Guy number three's main weapon was trapped to his right as I rushed his left. Vainly he tried to get an arm up to defend himself. My right tomahawk shattered his forearm at the elbow joint. Only the body armor on the inside of the blow stopped the appendage from falling off. My rational mind was catching up with my instincts.These men had on head-to-toe ballistic body suits with knee guards and solid ballistic inserts for the front and back of the torso. They had on some sort of dull, dark-grey respirator mask which was why the armless guy wasn't screaming his head off. They also had matte black circular ear protections and a type of high tech visor on the ears and eyes respectively.The sole survivor was falling back, drawing his silenced pistol while trying to put some distance between us and find Miyako at the same time. Dummy, tomahawks are designed for throwing. A bit of Amazons indignation was behind that toss. His visor was cut in two as my anger drove the blade 6 cm/2+ inches into his skull.I heard a sharp crack of a rock being shattered. Miyako's graceful flip landed her at my side. I ran to the last victim, put my foot on his chest and put my right hand on the tomahawk's shaft. The guy reached up and grabbed the thigh of the foot on his chest with both hands. Shit, the fucker wasn't dead!

In today's episode, Bex Scott shares vintage advice and tips for the retro homemaker from “The Homemaker's Encyclopedia - 1952” book that she recently acquired. Featuring of-the-time shopping advice, meal ideas, kitchen planning suggestions, and more, this is a genuine blast from the past glimpse into the housewife's day-to-day mealtime expectations. Join Bex for a trip into the past and learn some new (old) ways to shop and cook to please your family. “The Homemaker's Encyclopedia -1952” includes such chapters as “Marketing Know-How”, “Different Items You Can Stock in Your Larder”, and “How Much Is Enough”. The author encourages women (the target audience for this book since it was women, the wives and mothers, who did all the grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking in the 50s) to be unafraid of experimenting with “new foods, new recipes, and new ways of cooking”. She maintains that careful planning will enable women to provide balanced nutrition and budget-conscious meal preparation for their families. Bex also shares an amusing section on grocery store etiquette (including the gem “Dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside”) and specific kitchen design shapes that maximize efficiency in prep and service. For lovers of vintage, retro cooking ideas, and amusing throwbacks, this episode is a must-listen. Resources discussed in this episode:“The Homemaker's Encyclopedia 1952: Food-Buying and Meal-Planning” photo—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares. I'll take you on my latest thrifting adventures, talk about reselling, chat with other enthusiasts about their collections, and learn about a bunch of really awesome items from the past. Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Bex Scott: [00:00:31] Hey everybody, this is Bex Scott and you are listening to the Pyrex with Bex podcast. On today's episode, I thought it would be fun to go through a newly acquired book that I have called The Homemaker's Encyclopedia Food Buying and Meal Planning. Now this beauty is from 1952, so it is exactly what you might expect. The content is all about the woman being at home being the homemaker, the man going out and working his 9 to 5 job and coming home to his children and his wife being ready to serve him his meal and for him to relax with a drink in his hand. And I wanted to read some excerpts of this book to you because it was honestly very entertaining to read and to just note how different times are now than they were before. In my household right now my husband does all of the cooking. I like to do the cleaning. We both work and we both equally contribute to raising our three kids, and it was just really interesting to read through the difference in how they used to do things. And I know a bunch of you can probably remember this from your childhood, maybe your parents. That was the dynamic for them back in the 50s, and it would just be interesting to hear your take on things in your memories of how things were. Bex Scott: [00:02:11] So I wanted to start off by going through the introduction, because I believe that this gives you, as it says, a good introduction to this interesting book. So it says "Every homemaker is conscious of the need to try to get the greatest value for the money she can spend. How to do this while still continuing to provide meals that are nutritious and varied, is the subject of conversation whenever good housewives get together. Books such as this can be of great help. In an interesting fashion with easy-to-follow suggestions, the author ranges over the fields of marketing and menu planning in an effort to help you in your daily program". Now, when they say marketing, this is kind of embarrassing because that's my field of work. I'm in marketing. And when I read that, I was really confused about what they were talking about. Marketing is actually going to the supermarket. So yeah, that was an interesting enlightning fact for me. "While keeping the main objective in view, that of securing the most nourishing foods at the prices you can pay, she nevertheless succeeds in proving to the reader that this branch of homemaking need never grow uninteresting or monotonous, just as the meals you serve need never become dull for your family. The willingness to experiment, to try new foods, new recipes, and new ways of cooking should be part of every housewife's equipment. In many an old-fashioned American household, the food followed an unvarying pattern: a roast on Sunday, hash on Monday, chowder on Friday, beans on Saturday, or whatever". Or whatever. "Before the family entered the dining room, they knew exactly what would be on the table". Bex Scott: [00:03:58] Growing up, we had roast every Sunday and that was honestly the best day of the week for me. My mom's roasts, they were amazing. And when we go back home to visit with them, my mom still likes to make a roast for all of us when we get together. "Most younger women are more flexible than the old-time cooks. They are learning some of the secrets of using unusual flavor through spices, herbs, and sauces to borrow from other nations some tricks of applying imagination to the food they serve their families. American menus would be the poorer without Swiss and Italian cheeses, Hungarian goulash, French and Vienna breads, chili con carne, chow mein and chop suey, Irish stew, frankfurters and sauerkraut, England's plum pudding, or whatever your particular favorites happen to be. Bearing this in mind, you need never be afraid to experiment or pioneer in foods or methods. In this book, along with practical advice on efficient shopping techniques, cooking shortcuts, and dollar stretchers, you'll find a view of meal planning as a family affair. To many women, marketing and cooking is a burden because they do all of it alone. The author suggests ways in which the other members of the family can help. Father with the marketing, the children in preparing meals and helping to serve them. Making these projects a part of your family's life seems a practical application of homemaking. That art, which is, in the last analysis, the most important profession open to any woman". Bex Scott: [00:05:28] So now we get into the good stuff. So we've been introduced to the book, know a little bit about it, so part one is meal planning. "Number one, a good meal doesn't just happen. The experienced traveller knows that the success of a trip depends on thorough, beforehand planning. Just so homemakers whose meals get consistent rave reviews from family and friends will tell you that a good meal is made at the meal planning desk rather than at the cook stove". And there's a nice picture of a woman sitting at her meal planning desk, and it says, "when you plan ahead, you can relax and enjoy meal times too". I can tell you that my husband doesn't have a meal planning desk, but I'm going to ask him now if he would like one, and I'll let you know what he says. Okay, so it says, "and while impromptu meals can be lots of fun once in a while, a steady succession of haphazard conglomerations tells its story in flurry and worry, not to mention the added expense which substitutes for proper planning. Your family will probably be most interested in how the food looks and tastes, and in whether you are calm and cheerful or cross and worn out when you join them at the table". I can tell you that our two sons could care less what the food looks like. They are more interested in how it tastes and how quickly they can consume it. "You, on the other hand, will be equally concerned with balancing the budget and the nutritional scale, for you know that the actual health of your family is dependent upon the meals you serve. Every smart woman knows that you can lead a husband to vitamins, but you can't always make him eat". That is something that I have never heard before. "This holds true of children as well and harping on food values usually creates eating problems rather than converts to balanced nutrition. When you plan ahead, you can relax and enjoy meal times too, secure in the knowledge that you are giving your family food they need in ways they enjoy it, with a maximum of economy and a minimum of work". Bex Scott: [00:07:39] And then it goes into "four ways to help you turn meal planning from a hand-to-mouth operation into a pleasant and worthwhile habit". Next up, this is a little pull quote that I had to share with you guys. It says "Entree, usually a made-up dish of an unusual food". So if anybody ever asks you what an entrée is, please be sure to use this definition. Okay next up we have the elements of a successful meal. "When you get right down to the business of meal planning, you must remember to coordinate a number of other factors with your four menu factors of: number one nutrition values, number two economy or money-saving, number three efficiency or time and effort saving, and number four" is my favorite "honest to goodness pleasure in eating". That's why I eat. Not to survive. I eat to enjoy and experience the pleasure in eating. "So you may want to introduce new foods, provide an invalid diet or entertain company on a budget. You may decide to streamline the family's collective waistline through a high-protein but low in calorie diet. Or you may yearn to cut down on dirty dishes and utensils so as to have more time for after-dinner fun with the family. And don't think for a moment that to do all these things, you're going to have to sacrifice personal or family preferences and foods, or throw out the window sectional or national ways of eating that are dear to your heart and traditional in your family. Actually, whatever you want to accomplish through your meals, within reason, of course, can be yours if you plan it that way and then follow through to the best of your ability". Bex Scott: [00:09:27] Next, it says "nutrition needn't be complicated. Once upon a time, you may have worked your way through a school course on home economics. Remember the complicated charts of vitamins and minerals, the graphs of calories and carbohydrates, and the mystic terms you studied? It was all very complex, and you may or may not have absorbed enough to apply to your own food problems when you set up housekeeping. Today, a very simple and pleasant formula has been devised to help you see that your meals are going to nourish your family by supplying the foods and food elements that are needed for good health. You don't have to worry about each individual vitamin and mineral. Instead, you follow the basic seven food group outlined here. And if your family eats the suggested number of servings from each group, you can rest assured that their food needs will be well supplied". Bex Scott: [00:10:17] Next up we have "Part two, marketing know-how", not the marketing I thought it was. "How to shop: attitudes and ideas. With the caveman, getting food was a matter of tracking it down, whacking it over the head, and dragging it home. It was dangerous, yes. Monotonous? Hardly". This is a good intro. It's a solid start to this chapter. "Today, the getting of food or shopping is much simpler, yet much more complex. While the caveman never had an opportunity to choose from the marvellous array of foods to be found in the modern market, neither did he have to cope with nutrition or decide which of 65 varieties of vegetables was the right one for him". Man, times are tough for those cavemen. "Small wonder that today's homemaker finds shopping such a challenge. With so many things to choose from, how is she to know which foods were stocked with her in mind? Actually, marketing can be a job in which the whole family takes part. Once upon a time, men played a large role in buying the family food in this country. Then it became exclusively the woman's province. Today, Dad is not only bringing home the bacon, but buying the groceries too, especially on weekends. Current figures show that at least 25% of the groceries in this country are bought by men. And if you can make shopping a real family project by getting dad and the children into the act, you'll be doing a real educational job as well as making fun time for something that might be just another chore". Bex Scott: [00:11:47] Okay, here are the "certain fundamental things to remember in shopping. Choose the right store. Some books on food give glowing descriptions of the joys of searching out rare spices and unknown foods at little shops, buying bread here, meat there and cheese somewhere else, and so, on until you've been all over town assembling your groceries. And indeed, this is the way that housewives in many other countries have to shop. But in the United States, the large market with every kind of food possible assembled and spread out in orderly rows containing everything plainly visible and clearly marked, has become such a tradition that few families would know how to operate without it. Here you see women in mink pushing carts next to women in shabby coats, all bound together in an effort to get the most for their money. Certainly, there are not many women who would deliberately spend enough time or shoe leather to shop item by item in different stores. One big factor that has played a part in the growth of such large markets has been the fact that with their cash and carry policy, and with everything arranged for self-selection and self-service, your food dollar really goes for food, not for service. On the other hand, the smaller grocery stores make up in service what it lacks in savings. Just be sure that you really need credit, telephone shopping service, and delivery, before you become a steady customer at such a shop, for you may be sure that you pay for these services and added food costs, and this is only fair for it costs your grocer extra to provide them. If you're working or there is a new baby or illness in your home, or you are far removed from any shops, then the telephone shopping and delivery service may be a necessity for you. But even then, you'll be wise to try to arrange an expedition to the nearest market once every week, or even every two weeks, to stock up on staple items and canned goods". Bex Scott: [00:13:40] We definitely do that. We go to Costco, I think, at least every two weeks, sometimes every week. We're big Costco people. "The fancy grocery or delicatessen has its place in the shopping scheme of things, but is not for you on a budget. Fine hothouse fruits or deluxe foods are grand as an occasional treat, but don't belong on your regular shopping list. After all, the most expensive food is not necessarily the most nutritious. The delicatessen stays open long hours and can be a lifesaver if you happen to forget something". Next up, they talk about shopping in person if possible. "This is the only sure way of getting what you want and what you need, particularly in regard to meats and vegetables and fruits, where real saving or waste is involved. When you are shopping in a market, remember to mind your manners. Small children and dogs are a nuisance. Dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside". Interesting. "Don't put babies into the push carts unless the store provides a special kind which has a place for baby. Don't let your toddler run wild through the sections. Not only is it most annoying to others, it can be dangerous if he pulls stacks of cans down on top of his head. And if your older child feels the need for action, keep him from ramming the push carts into others or from working up speed on the curves around the canned goods by giving him a job to do, such as keeping track of your checklist. Don't block the aisles with your basket while you talk with a neighbor. When you get in line, don't keep others waiting by scrambling back for one more item. And don't try to force your way ahead of others who were there before you. Shopping in a regular store also calls for manners. You may have been a customer for years, or you may be a real favorite with your butcher. Still, you can wait your turn pleasantly and without engaging service personnel in conversation at a time when they should be concentrating on other people and their orders. Don't ask for more than one delivery a day, and don't telephone for service just a few moments before closing time". Bex Scott: [00:15:53] I want to go back to the dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside. Okay, next up we have a section about different items that you can stock in your larder. My favorite one is cheese. I love cheese, I could eat cheese all day, every day. And one of my favorite memories was when I went to the grocery store with my parents, and I think this was the first time my dad had ever been to the cheese section, because he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't know there were so many different types of cheese, and I think my mom and I went off to do the grocery shopping, and my dad stayed in the cheese aisle the whole time, just trying to figure out what each of them were. So this section reminded me of that memory. So "cheese comes in a bewildering variety of types and forms, domestic and imported, and for a great variety of purposes. It is, in its less exotic forms, a very economical source of protein, and supplies vitamins and minerals too". These are all really great reasons that I like to tell myself when I overeat cheese, that I am getting all the vitamins and minerals that I need for my body. "There are three general categories used for convenience in classifying cheese: soft, semi-soft, and hard. Many cheeses are available in each group. Usually, cheese is a matter on which you wax enthusiastic or are content to stay with 1 or 2 mild favorites". I think my dad would probably fall into the wax enthusiastic category after that grocery shopping trip. "Gourmets are conscious of slight variations in flavor and traditionally favor the imported cheeses or used to. For recently, very fine cheeses have been made in the Western Hemisphere. If you are a cheese lover, you may have the attitude that processed cheese is only for cooking. It is not only an excellent melting cheese, but for the average family provides very good eating. In addition, processed cheese can be kept on the pantry shelf for emergencies. The larger-sized packages are usually more economical. Cheese spreads and mixtures can be bought in jars and are convenient for party occasions, if a bit more expensive". I also love a good cheese in a jar. Cheese Whiz on toast is great and when I was pregnant with our daughter, Kraft singles were my number one craving. So that is a very strange piece of knowledge about me. Bex Scott: [00:18:26] Okay, number ten is "how much is enough? Estimating amounts can throw the inexperienced housewife into fits". Fits, huh? "Everyone has his own classic example of the bride who tried to buy potatoes by the piece, or thought that a pound of rice was barely enough for four people". I don't know that we do have those examples. Okay. "To save you from the experiences that are supposed to teach you, but usually just make you suffer, or to refresh your memory and serve as a handy reference guide, here are some hints on amounts to buy for each serving. How much meat to buy for dinner? How many servings will come from a pound of fresh beans? A number two and a half can, or a frozen package. The food shopper, with an eye to thrift and good management, learns to buy carefully just what she can use", and then it goes into different amounts for what you should need for cooking, which is actually kind of handy. Bex Scott: [00:19:24] Next up we have "Storage, preparation and serving: kitchen convenience. Your kitchen is the room in which you spend many of your waking hours. Therefore, you want it as attractive and cheerful as possible. Because everything in it comes in contact with your food, you want it as sanitary and easy to keep clean as you can make it. Those things are important. But to you as a cook, the prime consideration in a kitchen is efficient and helpful arrangement so that everything is where you can find it and use it quickly and easily. The less stooping, bending or stretching, the better. The more working and storage space, the happier you'll be. Good ventilation and adequate lighting, both in the center of the room and again over each working area, are of primary importance. A posture stool or chair will let you relax for the many jobs which can be done just as well sitting down. Basic kitchen arrangement. There's a pattern to kitchen arrangement, or at least there's supposed to be. Ideally, a kitchen has lots of wall space and little floor space. It is not a corridor from the front of the house to another room or outside, and the walls are not broken up with lots of doors and windows. It is three basic work centers. The storage area around the refrigerator which should be nearest the back door, the preparation department which is the sink with workspace on either side, and the cooking and serving section, which should be nearest the dining area so that food can be put right on the table while hot". Bex Scott: [00:20:49] "The U-shaped kitchen is usually considered the most efficient. Here your equipment is grouped on three walls and you have few steps between your three work centers. The L-shaped kitchen is next in preventing waste motion. Space along two walls is provided for the equipment, and often the portion remaining can be made into a dining area, business space for your desk and cookbooks, or play space for the children. The two-wall or corridor kitchen can be as efficient as a ship's galley, unless it's a passageway to the back door. The one wall or Pullman type kitchen is convenient for use, but usually lacks adequate cupboard space". Bex Scott: [00:21:28] Next up we have "Seasonings, salads, sandwiches, and serving. Some women have a gift for turning out flavorful meals with the hot things hot and the cold things cold, with interesting contrast and textures and tastes, and served in gay and colorful fashion. Others serve the very same meal just as well cooked, to be sure, yet so dull and uninspiring". I think if I cooked for my family, I would probably fall into the dull and uninspiring category. Which is why I love that my husband likes to cook because he is great at it. I remember one time I made my mom's meatloaf recipe for our kids. I loved the meatloaf. I thought I did it right. But I think that was the last meal I attempted to make for them, because I was so crushed that they didn't like it that I probably, I don't think I made anything again after that except for baking. I love baking, so cakes and banana bread and all that kind of stuff. So it says, "what is the secret? Well, one thing is the matter of proper seasonings. You may have a shelf full of neat little spice jars and herb containers, yet how often do you use them and do you really understand how and when to use them? And what about seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and the many other kinds? How about the different flavors you can achieve by using different vinegars and cheeses? Have you tried wines in your cooking efforts?" I've tried drinking the wine while I cook. That's great. "In general, how well developed is your sense of gastronomic curiosity? Are you willing to experiment, to try new ways of cooking your old favorites, and to offer your family new tastes occasionally? If you can answer yes to most of the above questions, then your flair for interesting meal-making is well above average. If you say no to too many of them, try to widen your scope of activities by experimenting more and investigating new products". Bex Scott: [00:23:26] "Meal time coordination. Chilled plates and chilled ingredients for salads. Hot plates for hot foods. These are part of getting the meal to the table in attractive form. For no one cares to eat lukewarm salad or meat in lukewarm gravy. Basic preparation and meal planning often come to grief at this point, for as much organization is needed at the moment of cooking as at any other point in meal making. Go back to your basic arrangement of your kitchen for real efficiency. The fundamental idea was to establish a traffic flow from storage to preparation to cooking, so that no time was lost and that food could be gotten to the table right from the stove. Somewhere in the traffic flow, you must be operating as a thinking director. You must have the ability to look at your menu and recipes, decide which foods must be prepared when, and then see that cooking time is so handled that your meat and potatoes are ready at the time that your salad is prepared, dessert ready, and the table ready and waiting. Experience and actual one, two, three planning are the only way to develop the ability to coordinate a meal perfectly". Bex Scott: [00:24:33] Last in this amazing book, we have a section called Camouflage Ideas. I had to read this because I didn't know what they meant, and I really needed to know what camouflaging was. "Sauces, stuffings, relishes and other accompanying dishes are methods of camouflaging either the shape or taste or amount of the foods you are serving. Sauces are valuable because they contribute to the food value and appearance of foods, and add flavor and moisture to those that need it. Good sauces are perfectly blended, smooth in texture, have no lumps, and are neither too heavy nor too thin. By serving leftover vegetables and meat in such forms as au gratin", that's not how you say it. I apologize. That was terrible. "or a la king, you create a whole new flavor treat, and make company fare out of icebox items that otherwise wouldn't stretch. Stuffings may be used to add flavor and to extend a basic food that is in short supply. Don't forget that you can stuff many forms of meat as well as poultry and fish. Remember that stuffing is meant to be a mixture with variations of seasonings. It should be neither too dry nor too moist. Relishes in accompanying dishes like dumplings, Yorkshire puddings, and cranberry sauce are excellent for bringing out the flavor of other foods". Okay, that wasn't as bad as I thought. When they said camouflage, I had pictured in my mind what we do to get our toddler to eat vegetables by hiding them inside of fruit purees and disguising things. So not as bad as I thought. Bex Scott: [00:26:15] Okay, well, I hope you guys all enjoyed this little trip into the 1950s of food buying and meal planning, and maybe you learned a thing or two that you can apply to your kitchen or your marketing. I know I sure did. I'm going to be passing many of these tips off to my husband, for sure, and maybe we'll even have him on a next episode to give his input on this amazing book. So feel free to find me on Instagram @PyrexWithBex. Shoot me a DM, give me a follow, and I will see you next time.

Your whole house will turn into a Middle Eastern spice bazaar when you toast all the seeds for this soup. What you are doing, of course, is making your own curry powder something that is not only intensely aromatic but also instructive in that it enables you to customize the blend to your own taste. This soup, with its golden color, looks great served in white bowls. Clear mugs work very nicely, too.

Many chilled soups, including some of today's "politically correct," scaled-down chilled soups, are often made with some cream. Here, though, is one without a drop, with no fat to speak of at all, in fact. Cucumber and yogurt star here, and when combined and chilled until icy, they make for a wonderfully refreshing main bowl or starter with just the right crunch and flavor for the dog days, whenever they occur. And while chilled soups, in general, are easy on the cook, this one should not be prepared way in advance of serving. It will become watery. Cucumbers are about 95 percent water, and there is water in the soup as well. In short, make, chill as directed, serve, and enjoy.

Here is the perfect soup for a warm fall evening, after a day of apple picking or a visit to a country farmstand. You can garnish this silken soup with finely shredded smoked ham, if you like. With a vegetable or green salad and toasted walnut bread, you have an easy menu for a Sunday night supper that asks almost nothing of the cook at the last minute. There is a lot to be said for the simplicity of serving chilled soup.

If you grow zucchini in your garden and are looking for ways to use up the proverbial bumper crop, this recipe is an excellent place to start. It is elegant and easy to prepare on a hot summer's day. The basil mascarpone cream lends a luxurious note. For maximum flavor, be sure to bring the cheese to room temperature before adding the herb to it.When you are entertaining, Wild Rice and Roasted Corn Salad make a fine accompaniment and look especially appealing with this soup.

I'm VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today! Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties', and someone I've loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level. Our paths have crossed in multiple ways this year; she joined one of my masterminds + we both joined Suzy Holman's mastermind, and we have a LOT in common (kind of feels like we have the same brain). Like so many of us, Lindsy has dealt with perfectionist and overachiever tendencies, and she loved checking ALLLL the boxes. As an ADHD entrepreneur who's an Enneagram 3, she had accomplished so much already, but was not feeling fulfilled in her business. She was struggling with what to do next, and had multiple signs telling her that something wasn't ‘right' in her business, with her health, etc.Ultimately, she knew she needed to slow down, ‘unplug' more, and make some drastic changes in her life. Now, Lindsy has a renewed sense of excitement for her business and what's to come - she's truly FLOURISHING!In this episode, we cover:Lindsy's journey from teacher to entrepreneur, and the full-on ‘hustle and grind' mode she was in as she built her businessWhen you're misaligned/don't know what's next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down' is all that's left to doWhy therapy and ‘feeling your feelings' isn't necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you're ready for the next chapter in your lifeLindsy's upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in businessHow ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in businessBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here: https://emilyreuschel.com/116-morning-sun-entrepreneurship-with-adhd-and-burning-it-down-with-lindsy-trotter/ Connect with Lindsy:Get on the waitlist for Lindsy's upcoming course HEREFollow on Instagram @lindsy.trotter and @chilledfreezermealsCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInSome links referenced below are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
