I've been chatting with the Low Tox Life community in DMs and groups lately about that moment when the year settles in and everything feels back to ‘normal' for many people, especially families with the school year in full swing and no holidays around the corner. Rhythms, routines and getting done what's got to get done in the week, whether we're working, at school, or whatever else is going on. I find a lot of gratitude in the mundane. Maybe it's become I've lived through a lot of instability of both health and home and finances through the mould years, or because I moved countries 3 times before I was 5 and then had to live with my grandparents for a bit while my baby sister was really sick and poor mum was at the hospital… The boring routine of a week is actually a great relief and joy for me. But I get it's not that way for many, and the making of dinners and lunch boxes day after day feels more chore than ‘yay' - throw endless demands for more ‘fun' food, more food like so and so is eating, or your kid getting teased for being the ‘real food kid' and it can be exhausting. Plus? I learnt polling you in my Instagram Stories the other day that most people make - wait for it - INDIVIDUAL MEALS ONE AT A TIME. So, I thought I'd record a show to address all of the things with tips and tricks, an excerpt from my 2nd book to get us jazzed about bucking the system and providing as much real food for our families and ourselves as we can and release a couple of cooking classes. ***Have an AHA during the show?

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is completely melted and lightly browned. **This recipe can easily be doubled and baked in a 9"x13" baking dish. Increase bake time to 45 minutes. S'mores BarsIngredients: ½ c. butter, softened ½ c. sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¾ c. graham crackers, crushed or graham cracker crumbs ¾ c. all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 regular size Hershey bars 7 oz jar of marshmallow creme In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

Serves 8 as an appetizer Overnight Sausage, Egg, and Hashbrown Breakfast CasseroleIngredients:1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled 6 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed 12 large eggs 2 cups whole milk or half-and-half 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1/2 cup diced onion 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon paprika Instructions: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spread the thawed shredded hashbrowns. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or half-and-half, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined. Stir in the cooked sausage, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped fresh parsley, and both shredded cheeses until well mixed. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hashbrowns in the baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press the mixture down, ensuring that the hashbrowns are well-covered. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours. The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before baking. Remove the cover and bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a knife in the center of the casserole; it should come out clean. Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and serve with your favorite hot sauce, salsa, or ketchup, if desired.

And to the end we come! I won't lie, but it's been a huge year and the last part has somewhat dragged on.   Don't get me wrong, I'm super stoked with how the year has finished up. Not to mention a huge thanks to the people that have come out to visit us in Muriwai at Good from Scratch, purchased a EngelElzen cast pan or purchased the amazing Engel fire. I want to thank you all.  As we run into another year with what will be my 8th (I think) on Newstalk Sunday, I want to thank Francesca, Kerrie and all the listeners of NewstalkZB.  This week, we have for all the Christmas ham fans, my favourite go-to ham glaze! I just want to take all the stress out of Christmas day, as it has been a big year!  Cider, star anise & pineapple roasted ham  Cook Time: 60 minutes  Prep Time: 10 minutes  Serves: 8-10  3kg free-range cured & smoked Christmas ham   2 x 330ml dry cider or apple juice   6 star anise   10 cloves   2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled   2 Tbsp Dijion mustard   500 gm brown sugar  Preheat a oven on fan-bake to 160c.   Slice the skin of the ham and score the fat in a diamond pattern.   Combine the cider, star anise and sugar in a pot and bring to the boil, reduce until syrupy (bubbles will increase in size and slow). Dice the pineapple into thin dice and then stir into the cider mixture. Allow to cool.  Place the ham into a roasting tray. Smear the Dijion over the ham, followed by 3 tbsp of the cider glaze. Use the cloves to prick through the pineapple to keep it in place. Place the ham in the middle of the oven oven for 1 hour depending on size, checking and baste until caramelised. Serve hot or at room temperature if transporting. Keep the remaining cider syrup to re-glaze once on the table.  Sumptuous!  Mike's website – goodfromscratch.co.nz  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time is money, and when you're hungry for mac-and-cheese, a few seconds can be worth millions of dollars. Or at least that's what a Florida woman suggests in her class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz over a claim on single-serve cups of Velveeta Shells & Cheese stating that the product can be “ready in 31/2 minutes.” https://www.adlawaccess.com/2022/11/articles/woman-sues-over-cook-time-instructions/ Gonzalo E.

It's an Iron Ladle Challenge—and this time, the Ladies are solving a culinary problem that may or may not actually exist: What can you do with leftover Halloween candy? Sarah melts candy corn (and smokes out her kitchen) to make homemade gourmet Butterfinger-style bonbons. Bri goes sugar-free (and also candy-free), decoupaging empty candy wrappers into fun notebook covers. Rachel tries her hand at a from-scratch gingerbread house (featuring banana Laffy-Taffys, jawbusters, and other reject candies)—and burns out the motor in her brand-new hand mixer in the process. And Erin overcomes a kitchen emergency (also involving a hand mixer) to save the day with her sweet and savory late-night-snack cookies. Scroll down for photos and recipes, and view more photos at instagram.com/lutheranladieslounge. Sarah's Candy Corn Peanut Butter Bars (aka Butterfingers) from thespruceeats.com/candy-corn-peanut-butter-bars-520932 Prep: 10 mins Cook: 20 mins Total: 30 mins Servings: 16 servings Ingredients 3 cups candy corn 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, not the natural variety 12 ounces chocolate candy coating Instructions Gather the ingredients. Line an 8x8 pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place the candy corn in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the candy corn for one minute, then stir as it starts to melt. Continue to microwave the corn in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. Cook the candy corn until it is completely melted and smooth, but be wary of overheating it and causing it to stiffen up. Add the peanut butter to the melted candy corn and stir it in until it is completely incorporated. If you have trouble combining them, microwave the candy briefly (for 10 to 15 seconds at a time) just until it's warm enough to be easily mixed. Scrape the candy out into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. While it is still warm, use a knife or pizza cutter to score it into small bars, 1 inch across and 4 inches long. You should get about 16 small bars from one batch, but you can always make them larger or smaller as desired. Let the candy cool completely. Once cool, break or cut the bars apart along the scored lines. Melt the chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently until it is melted and smooth. Use forks or dipping tools to dip the bars completely in the coating. Once a bar has been dipped, hold it over the bowl to let the excess drip back down into the bowl. Place a dipped bar on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and repeat until all of the bars are dipped. Let them set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. When served at room temperature, the bars have a slight chew to them, but when refrigerated they're perfectly crispy and crunchy. Store candy corn peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. Bri's Candy Wrapper Notebook Honestly there are no rules on this, but here are some directions/tips to get you started:  Choose your surface! Can be a composition notebook, a journal, a canvas, a piece of MDF. Sky's the limit. (Not really but I'm sure you get it.)  Gather your other materials for your collage: leftover Halloween candy wrappers, a preferred adhesive (Schelmer's School Glue(tm), Schmod Podge(tm) or similar), and your preferred finisher (varnish, artist's fixative, etc.)  NOTE: Choose wrappers or parts of wrappers that lay flat and don't easily “ribbon” or roll in on itself — unless you want to flatten those wrappers ahead of time. Otherwise, paper- and/or wax-based are probably best. Cardboard would also work!  NOTE: When choosing a finisher, make sure it is workable and has the desired level of “sheen” you want (matte v. glossy). When in doubt, just use clear packing tape. I won't tell Martha Stewart.  Adhere the wrappers to the surface using the chosen adhesive. You can create a pattern, or use my preferred method (perhaps unsurprisingly), a free-for-all style.  NOTE: Although a collage is technically two-dimensional art, you may want to plan different “layers” to your project.  Ok, my style isn't 100% free-for-all. My first layer is always the “background layer” when I want to ensure the entire surface is covered with my collage medium. From there, I build upon that layer in terms of what I want to be visible. (E.g., If you want to make sure a certain color or brand or aesthetic predominates in your collage, make sure those wrappers compose your final layer of the collage or at least are some of the last wrappers you glue onto your surface.)  When all of your wrappers have been arranged and adhered to your surface, you're ready to apply varnish, a fixative or (again, seriously) clear packing tape to finish your artwork. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions on whichever finisher you choose so that you don't melt your skin off on contact or something!!  Erin's Friday Afternoon Snack Cookies Late Night Snack Cookies from cookiesandcups.com/late-night-snack-cookies makes 24 large cookies Ingredients 1 cup butter, room temperature 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar 1 egg + 1 yolk 1 Tbsp heavy cream or milk 1 Tbsp vanilla 2 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 3 cups chopped Snickers candy, frozen 4–5 cups thick cut salted potato chips (I used Kettle Chips) Instructions Preheat oven to 350° Line baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. In bowl of stand mixer cream butter and sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Turn mixer to low and add in egg, yolk, milk and vanilla. Increase speed to medium and mix until smooth and incorporated. Turn mixer back down to low and add in flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until combined. Add in Snickers candy and mix until evenly distributed. And finally add in potato chips and pulse until combined. Don't over mix, as all the chips will break up too much. Drop by heaping tablespoon onto lined baking sheet and bake 9-10 minutes until edges are golden. Allow to cool 2-3 minutes on baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Notes store airtight for up to 3 days. Rachel's Gingerbread House of Reject Candy from simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_a_gingerbread_house Prep Time 2 hrs Cook Time 15 mins Total Time 2 hrs 15 mins Servings 12 Yield 1 gingerbread house With 6 cups of flour, how you measure the flour makes a difference. Lightly fluff up the flour in the container, use a cup measure to scoop up flour, then use a blunt knife to level the flour. Do not pack or tamp down the flour in the cup. These instructions were adapted from those found in the 1996 Joy of Cooking. Ingredients For the gingerbread house dough 6 cups (828g) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough (see recipe note) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 4 teaspoons ground ginger 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup (170g) butter, softened 1 1/2 cups (284g) packed light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup molasses 1 tablespoon water For the royal icing 2 large egg whites 2 2/3 cups powdered sugar, divided Special Equipment Stand mixer Piping bag or freezer bag Method Make the Gingerbread Dough Whisk the flour and spices: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves or allspice, and salt. Set aside. Make the butter, sugar, egg, and molasses mixture: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until fluffy and well blended. Beat in the eggs, molasses, and water until well combined. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and knead the dough: Beat half of the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until well blended and smooth. Add in the remaining flour and continue to mix until well blended and a soft cohesive dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a slightly floured work surface and knead by hand 5 or 6 times until the dough is smooth and combined. If dough is too soft, add a little more flour. Divide the dough, wrap and chill it: Divide the dough in half, pat into disks, and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably overnight. You can make it up to 3 days ahead of time. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before rolling out. Make the Gingerbread House Pieces Create and cut out the pattern pieces: Create a gingerbread house pattern by cutting out pieces from our printable Gingerbread House Templates. They should print out with the correct proportions (1 inch on the pattern = 1 inch in real life), but if not, the dimensions are also given on the pattern so you can use a ruler and create your own. You can either use the regular paper template pieces as-is or, if you prefer, you can trace the pieces onto stiffer paper like a manila folder or cardboard. I like cardboard because it's almost as thick as the gingerbread house pieces will be, and you can create a house model easily using the pieces. Prepare the oven and cookie sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F, with the oven rack in the middle. Have 2 to 3 flat cookie sheets ready. Roll out the dough: Spread parchment paper on a large flat surface for rolling. Dust the paper lightly with flour. Working with one portion of the dough at a time, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to an even thickness of 1/4 inch. Add a little flour to the surface of the dough, and check for sticking as you roll it out. If it sticks to either your rolling pin or the rolling surface, dust with more flour. If the rolled out dough is very soft, you may want to freeze it for an hour before cutting out the patterns. Cut out shapes in the dough with pattern pieces: Rub a little flour over the surface of the dough. Place the pattern pieces on the dough, as many pattern pieces as will fit on the dough. Use a small sharp knife to cut out the pattern pieces from the dough, wiping the knife surface clean frequently. Depending on how soft the dough is, you may need to use scissors to cut the parchment paper. You can cut out the patterns through the dough and parchment paper, placing the dough pieces with the paper directly on the cookie sheets. If you are not using parchment paper, you may need to use a large metal spatula to transfer the dough pieces to a greased cookie sheet. Space the pieces on the cookie sheet an inch apart from each other. If dough pieces stretch during the transfer process, push them back into shape. You can cut out a door and window(s) at this point, or you can wait until after baking, soon after the pieces have come out of the oven while the cookies are still warm. Bake: Bake in a 350°F oven until the edges are just beginning to darken, 11-15 minutes for the large pieces, 6 to 8 minutes for the small pieces. Rotate the cookie sheets halfway through the baking for more even browning. Remove the sheets to racks to cool, about 15 minutes. Trim the pieces while warm: While the pieces are still slightly warm, lay the pattern pieces over them and use a large straight chef's knife to trim off any parts of the pieces that have through cooking spread beyond the pattern. Remove pieces to cool directly on racks to cool completely. Make the Royal Icing Make the royal icing: Whisk the egg whites and 1 1/3 cups of the powdered sugar together until smooth . If you are planning to eat your gingerbread house and are concerned about the safety of raw eggs, you can cook the egg white powdered sugar mixture in a double boiler until the mixture reaches a temperature of 160°F, but not higher than 175° (for more information, read How to Pasteurize Eggs at Home). You can also use pasteurized dried or liquid egg whites. Add more powdered sugar, beat to stiff peaks: Add the remaining 1 1/3 cup of powdered sugar to the sugar egg mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until the icing holds stiff peaks. If it doesn't form stiff peaks, add more powdered sugar. Place a dampened clean towel over the bowl of royal icing: Keep this towel over the icing to prevent it from drying out while you work with it. Pipe the icing with a pastry bag or cut freezer bag: When you are ready to mortar or decorate, fill a pastry bag with the icing. If you don't have a pastry bag, you can make your own with a re-sealable plastic freezer bag, just cut off the tip (a small cut) of one of the corners of the bag. Plastic or metal piping tips are available in supermarkets which you can also use with a freezer bag, for more controlled piping. Build the House Using Royal Icing as Mortar This is where it really helps to have more than two hands working on a house, and why making a gingerbread house is so much more fun with company than alone. If you are working on this alone, it may help to grab some canned goods from the pantry and use the cans to help prop up the pieces while the icing mortar is drying. Pick and line a base: Pick a solid base for your gingerbread house - either a flat cookie sheet, or a thick, sturdy piece of cardboard. If you want, line the base with aluminum foil or wax paper. Mortar the sides of the house with royal icing: Pipe a thick line of icing along a short end of one of the side pieces. Press the iced side piece against the edge of either the front or back pieces. Hold in place for a few minutes until the icing is partially set. Repeat with the other side piece. Prop up with cans if necessary. Repeat with the other short edges of the side pieces and the remaining front/back piece. Pipe icing along the seams, inside and outside of the house, to fill in any gaps and to add extra stability. Pipe icing along the edges of the house where it meets the base. Let set for at least an hour before attempting to add the roof pieces. Simple Tip! If any of the gingerbread house pattern pieces break, as can happen easily when working with what are essentially cookies, most likely you can repair them. On my house I forgot to cut out the door and window until the front piece had almost completely cooled. When I went to make the cuts, the piece broke. Fortunately, it was easy to mortar back together with royal icing. We even created a "splint" out of cardboard and used royal icing to hold the splint to the piece. Let harden completely before using the piece for the house construction. When it comes time to decorate, you can pipe icing right over the broken seam and no one will be the wiser. Mortar in the roof with royal icing: Once the royal icing has dried enough so that the base structure is solid, you can go to work on the roof. Pipe icing all along the top edges of the structure, front and back and two sides. The roof pieces are rectangular-shaped. Place the roof pieces so that the long ends of the rectangle are running along the top of the house. It helps if you have two people working together to place the roof pieces on the house at the same time so that they meet easily at the top center, and extend out a little bit, forming an overhang at each end. Gently hold the roof pieces in place for a few minutes until they are set enough so they don't slide off when you remove your hands. Pipe the top seam of the house with extra icing. Let the house stand for at least an hour, and preferably 8 hours before decorating. Mortar the chimney with royal icing: The dimensions of the chimney can be a bit tricky because of the angle of the roof. It's easiest to assemble the chimney first upside down, separate from the house. Pipe the pieces together with royal icing and let set until stable. Then, turn the chimney right-side-up and attach it to the roof using piped royal icing. You can do this either right after the house has initially set (1 hour after assembly) or later, during the decorating process. Decorate the house: Decorate your gingerbread house with piped royal icing and candies such as red hots, gum drops, candy canes, chocolate truffles, or whatever you like.

Jake Cohen joins us to discuss his debut cookbook, Jew-ish: A Cookbook: Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch, in which he offers a contemporary take on classic Jewish recipes. Roasted Tomato Brisket Yield: Serves 10 to 12 Prep Time: 20minutes, plus cooling time and overnight chilling Cook Time: 4 hours 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 (5-to 6-pound) beef brisket, fat cap intact (see tip, page 159) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (2 cups) 2 large yellow onions, diced6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled 1 cup red wine 2 large carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces 12 sprigs thyme 4 fresh bay leaves 1.Preheat the oven to 450°F. 2.Pour the canned tomatoes and all their liquid into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and spread them into an even layer. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on top. Roast for 30 minutes. Move the dish to the top rack of the oven, then turn on the broiler and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until tops of the tomatoes begin to lightly char. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then carefully mash the tomatoes with the back of a fork or a potato masher. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. 3.Season each side of the brisket with 2 heavy pinches each of salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket, turning it as needed, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (see tip, page 159). Transfer the brisket to a platter. 4.Reduce the heat to medium, then add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the wine, then stir continuously with a wooden spoon for 1 minute to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. 5.Stir in the roasted tomatoes, carrots, and 2 heavy pinches each of salt and pepper, then return the brisket to the pot. Tie together the thyme sprigs and bay leaves with a small piece of butcher’s twine (tying is optional, but makes it much easier to remove the herbs after cooking) and nestle the herb bundle in the pot. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate overnight. 6.The next day, skim off and discard any fat, if desired, and discard the herbs. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and cut it across the grain (perpendicular to the fibers you’ll see running through the brisket) into ¼-inch-thick slices. Return the meat to the sauce and heat over medium heat until warmed through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve. Brisket Pasta: These recipes are delicious, but while everyone is fighting over the meat, I’m just thinking about the sauce. I save all the braising liquid, packed with lil’ bits of fallen-apart meat, and use it as the king of pasta sauces. It’s truly better than any ragù or Sunday gravy you could dream of. Simply cook pasta (rotini is my go-to!) until it’s just al dente, then drain and drop into a simmering pot of a few cups of the leftover braising liquid to finish cooking and let the liquid reduce down to coat the noodles. If you’re feeling wild, finish it off by making it rain Parmesan!! Buying Brisket 101: Beef briskets come in many shapes and sizes (just like us!), but it all comes down to choosing between the first (or flat) cut and the second (or point) cut. The flat is much leaner, and often smaller, made up of one muscle cleaned of most fat. The point, my preferred cut, contains the deckle, a gorgeous layer of the fat and muscle attached the rib cage. More fat equals more flavor, so don’t deprive yourself of the deckle! As for the size, I find 5 to 6 pounds is the sweet spot for yielding a ton of brisket while still being manageable for even my tiny NYC kitchen. Make It Fit!: Now, let’s just say you’re really struggling to make a whole brisket fit in your Dutch oven and a new one just isn’t in your bud get. You can 100 percent halve the brisket crosswise to make it more manageable. Just sear it off in batches before braising, and it will still be delicious (and even cook slightly faster). But if you can keep it whole, that’s still the best-case scenario for a low-and-slow buildup of flavor!

On this episode, Kristine shares her experience with a regular Japa meditation practice (mantra & mala) and also "how-to" hints for beginners. Derya clarifies the difference between concentration, contemplation, and insight when it comes to sitting in your practice. And we both agree why these heady times call for a practice like this. Japa meditation tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQWQtc4g3r0 Derya's "Healthy" Grain Free Cookies Grain-free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites Prep Time: 8 min Cook Time: 10 min Ready in: 18 min Yield: 14 1" cookies Ingredients 1 16 oz can can chickpeas, well-rinsed. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, SunButter Natural or almond butter 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/3 cup protein powder (I use unflavored pea protein) a pinch of salt if your peanut butter doesn't have salt in it 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use vegan and dairy-free chocolate chips, if needed) Directions 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until it forms a giant ball. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they're combined. 2. Put in the chocolate chips and pulse it until the chips are incorporated. You will probably have to break up the giant ball with your hands a couple of times. The mixture will be very thick and sticky. 3. With wet hands, form into 1 1/2" balls. Place onto a piece of parchment paper. If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don't do much rising. 4. Bake for about 10 minutes. The dough balls will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. 5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge) for up to 1 week.

Welcome to the second episode of the Savorbang podcast. I’m so glad you are here! Thank you for listening and I hope I bring you something that makes you want to cook!       The whole recipe is included below...   .     Yield: 18-26 cookies Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes per batch Ingredients 2 cups white all purpose flour 1 1/2 cups very firmly packed DARK BROWN sugar 2 1/2-3 teaspoons vanilla 3/4 cups rolled oats 7/8 teaspoon baking soda (allllmost fill the teaspoon) 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling over cookies (2 teaspoons if using unsalted butter) 1 cup butter (2 sticks) i use salted 3 egg yolks + 1 egg white (so 1 whole egg + two yolks) 2 1/4 cups dark or semisweet chocolate chips 1 1/2 cup toasted pecans, divided, (I mixed in slivered almonds the other day because I didn’t have enough pecans due to my fear of shopping right now) Instructions Pay attention to the details because they make all the difference with cookie baking… Preheat oven to 250 degrees, then toast pecans on a baking sheet for about 6 minutes. Set pecans aside to cool. Measure and whisk together well: 2 cups flour, almost a teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Melt (until just melted, not to a steaming liquid or boiling) in a microwave: 2 sticks butter, 1 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar and 2 ½ to 3 teaspoons vanilla. *Melting rather than creaming makes for more crisp edges and you don't mess around with that exhausting creaming of sugar into butter. Stir to combine the buttery sugar and vanilla, then set aside to cool for a few minutes. Add 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks to the sugar and melted butter. Whisk until well blended. Slowly, 1/4 at a time, fold flour mix into sugar mix. Don't over blend, but get the white flour mostly obscured. Gently fold in the oats. Crush pecans by squeezing/crumbling over the dough, some in 1/2 pieces some almost whole, then fold into dough. Reserve about ¼ cup whole pecans for planting in center of cookie mid-way through bake. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Optional: spread mix onto waxed paper (or plastic if you don’t care about the next 7 generations). I lay it in a length like a baguette—wrap well. If you have a big empty freezer you can just toss the bowl of dough in there I guess. Chill in freezer for 15-20 minutes while you clean up and lay parchment over 3 cookie sheets. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 degrees. Remove dough from freezer and cut or scoop tall, round clumps of dough, almost as big as golf balls onto baking sheet. ( I made some big, glorious tennis ball sized scoops too. They made great birthday present cookies, note: they need about a minute longer in the oven). Place in oven. Set timer for 4 minutes. At the 4 or 5 minute mark. Remove baking sheet, press cookie dough down in middle with knife and sprinkle salt over cookie tops. Add a pecan to the depression made by the knife. Return to oven and bake 4-5 few more minutes. Remove cookies when edges are juuuuust turning light brown. Note: Remove cookies after 3-4 minutes if you are stocking a freezer. There is nothing so wonderful to have on hand like a par-baked cookie that you can toss in a toaster oven after dinner—or after shopping at Costco during a pandemic—omg don’t do it! Let your cookies cool and eat with cold milk or black coffee... or cuddled into a big scoop of vanilla ice cream (Screamin Mimi's or Lala's creamery?)     Anything worth doing is worth doing so well that you pass out… it’s nap time.     Before we go…   Riddle time?  2 riddles in honor of the modern practice of making foods healthier by substituting with healthier options…   First riddle: If you substitute zuccini planks for the noodles, can you call it Lasagna or should you call it a baked, trash-salad?   Second riddle: If your recipe makeover involves swapping out the butter and replacing it with applesauce—do you still qualify for a covid-19 stimulus check?     Ok, Here’s a mini recipe—but one that brings maximal mealage—I made it fast and sloppy with leftovers because as per usual I am scared to go shopping—This is the make-up lasagna I made after freaking my family out with the hot swamp I made with the zucchini planks.   My daughter can’t manage cow dairy so I used scraps of 4 kinds of sheep and goat. I didn’t have soft goat cheese—which would have been great to mix in with the brie… this is a draft of a real recipe I’m not going to give exact quantities as this is a draft of a real recipe--not something I’ve worked out well—more a happy accitdent but it want so good, so so goodworked   Ingredients     1 red onion 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided (I used some to saute the greens and some for the bottom of the lasagna pan) 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar (by accident) Some lasagna noodles left at the bottom of three different boxes- some ruffly, some long, some short, some flat 2 eggs Teaspoon or so of knorr tomato flavored,powdered chicken broth (I know, I can’t believe I use this stuff but I love it.) ½ teaspoon or more black pepper 1 ½ cups red wine ½- 1 teaspoon salt 1+ teaspoon dried Mediteranian or Italian herbs mix (I make mine with, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, chili flakes, garlic powder) About a quart of leftover Bolognese with lots of meat and Italian sausage Another quart of store bought marinara 1 cup water Two large bags frozen greens—collards and spinach, 32 ounces total 1 ½ Medium sized wheels of goat brie 14 ounces 3 hunks different styles of Manchego (100% Sheep milk) 16 ounces   Instructions   Preheat oven to 350 degrees Chop the onion *In a dutch oven or deep castiron skillet, brown onions in 2-3 tablespoons olive oil   *Add the thawed greens. Ok I was worried my greens had gone bad because I left them thawing on the counter for two days and a  green syrup began to leek out of the bag …   *Sprinkle the broth powder (this is so optional but) over the greens   *Add salt and dried herbs   *Add the splash of balsamic vinegar (honestly I added this by accident because the B. Vinegar bottle looks so much like my olive oil bottle…) Cook the greens about 5 minutes on the stove top, stirring frequently. This is just to combine ingredients. The heat of the long bake in the oven will marry all the flavors from the herbs, vinegar, onions…   *Whisk together 2 eggs   *fold whisked eggs into greens   *Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep lasagna pan   *Place a layer of un-cooked lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan (over the olive oil)   *Spread the greens mixture over the fist layer of noodles   *Dot the greens evenly with chunks of goat brie, rind and all (I just broke the hunks off the my hands).   *Place a layer of un-cooked lasagna noodles over the cheese-dotted greens   *Spoon the leftover Bolognese sauce over the noodles ( I added a cup or so of red wine and half a jar of marinara to add some moisture to the very chunky, meaty leftover sauce I was using.   *Grate a third of your sheep cheese (I had Manchego but I would have loved to mix in a bit of less milk Pecorino Romano—if I’d had some)   *Add another layer of un-cooked lasagna noodles   *Spread remaining marinara over last layer of noodles   *Grate remaining 2/3 Manchego to cover all.   *Bake 80 minutes, then turn oven temp up to 385 for 10 minutes   *Remove from oven and let cool and set for 10-20 minutes   Best lasagna ever…. Thank you tons for listening and we are done…

Once the oil is hot enough, add the chilies, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden brown, about 1 minute.- Stir in the rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, chicken stock and sesame seed oil.- Next stir in the slurry, bring the sauce to a simmer and cook it until it thickens to the consistency of something like a syrup, this will be about 1 minute.- Pour the sauce over the chicken in a pan. And toss to coat.- Serve the chicken topped with scallions.

I was laid off at the end of June from the company I worked for, for over 9 years. I have licked my wounds and I am ready to get back to the podcast, and I am still searching for a new position. Over the break I traveled to the Outer Banks were the water was crystal clear during our stay, as well as a visit to Washington DC to check out the museums. Today we are going to look at rabbits in Greek culture. We have an exchange student from Greece staying with us, and we will have a brief interview about her perspectives on rabbits and hares. Now with Greece culture being as old as it is, I was surprised to find that they did not have there own rabbit breed. (Modern) Greek: κουνἐλι (kouneli). (Ancient) Greek: λαγος (lagos, with a hard "a" and a hard "o") means "hare", I don't know if they had a specific word for rabbit. The modern scientific name for the European rabbit is Oryctolagus cuniculus- the genus name (first part) is Greek for "digging hare", and the second part is Latin for "rabbit". In Greece pet rabbits are something quite new. People started getting rabbits as pets the last 5 or 10 years. The only information they have been able to get was from British or American forums and sites, and it's very difficult to find a savvy vet, even in Athens. Most vets have no idea about rabbits. During the last 3 years, one or two Greek rabbit forums have been created so that Greeks at last can get informed about their furry friends in their own language. From these forums, and the experience of their members, in the show notes is a list of Vet's who handle rabbits. https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/greece-rabbit-savvy-pets.62323/ The European rabbit (scient. Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a closely related species to hare, which has been introduced on the island of Crete by humans (many confuse that with hare). Despite the many predators on Crete, the rabbit reproduced rapidly and is now spread across the island of Crete and several smaller islets around it. For this reason, the authorities have several times tried to lower its population. The rabbit is a favorite game animal in the Greek islands. It is nocturnal and gregarious, with smaller size than the hare, and usually does not weigh more than 2kg. Moreover, its skeletal structure is quite different from the hare, while it has smaller and rounder ears. The rear legs are also shorter. Its coat color hues vary according to habitats, with gray-brown coat color, white belly and tail. Like the hare, it digs burrows in the ground where its hides all day long. It has the same eating habits with the hare, feeding on roots, bulbs, weeds and grass. Moreover, sometimes it eats bird droppings to receive their vitamins. The rabbits hunt at night, not too far from its nest. Being very coward, it is always ready to run into its burrow. There are always rabbits observing the surrounding area, while other animals eat. When they feel danger, they immediately stand up on their rear legs. If the danger is real, they start hitting their feet on the ground and all rabbits disappear at time. As mentioned, rabbits reproduce very quickly. Indeed, females (does) can give birth 8 times a year, 4-12 bunnies per time! Does can give birth at the age of 4-5 months, while it is impressive that they have a double uterus. This means that while being parturient, they may become pregnant again with their other womb! Their pregnancy lasts only 30-31 days. Similar to Japan, there is a Rabbit Island, but it is know as rabbit island for a differnet reason. Souda (island) Souda (Greek: Σούδα) is an islet in Souda Bay on the northwest coast of Crete. In ancient times this islet was one of two islets that were referred to as Leukai. The second islet is known today as Leon. On the northwest side of the islet, a small distance away, there is another islet which is almost round in shape, which used to be referred to on medieval Venetian maps as Rabbit Island (known as Nisi and Leon today) There is another place that the Greek's have give a rabbit name to, and that is in the stars. The Lepus Constellation Lepus constellation lies in the northern sky, just under the feet of Orion. The constellation’s name means “the hare” in Latin. Lepus is not associated with any particular myth, but is sometimes depicted as a hare being chased by the mythical hunter Orion or by his hunting dogs, represented by the constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor. Lepus was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. The constellation is home to the famous variable star R Leporis, better known as Hind’s Crimson Star, and it contains several notable deep sky objects: Messier 79 (NGC 1904), the irregular galaxy NGC 1821, and the Spirograph Nebula (IC 418). This constellation was known to the Greeks as Λαγωός (Lagoös), the Greek word for hare; Lepus is the more recent Latin name. Eratosthenes tells us that Hermes placed the hare in the sky because of its swiftness. Both Eratosthenes and Hyginus referred to the remarkable fertility of hares, as attested to by Aristotle in his Historia Animalium (History of Animals): ‘Hares breed and bear at all seasons, superfoetate (i.e. conceive again) during pregnancy and bear young every month.’ The celestial hare makes an interesting tableau with Orion and his dogs. Aratus wrote that the Dog (Canis Major) pursues the hare in an unending race: ‘Close behind he rises and as he sets he eyes the setting hare.’ But judging by its position in the sky, the hare seems more to be crouched in hiding beneath the hunter’s feet. Hyginus tells us the following moral tale about the hare. At one time there were no hares on the island of Leros, until one man brought in a pregnant female. Soon, everyone began to raise hares and before long the island was swarming with them. They overran the fields and destroyed the crops, reducing the population to starvation. By a concerted effort, the inhabitants drove the hares out of their island. They put the image of the hare among the stars as a reminder that one can easily end up with too much of a good thing. The constellation’s brightest star, third-magnitude Alpha Leporis, is called Arneb, from the Arabic al-arnab meaning ‘the hare’. It lies in the middle of the animal’s body. The stars Kappa, Iota, Lambda, and Nu Leporis delineate the hare’s prominent ears. In Greece, the gift of a rabbit was a common love token from a man to his male or female lover. In Rome, the gift of a rabbit was intended to help a barren wife conceive. Carvings of rabbits eating grapes and figs appear on both Greek and Roman tombs, where they symbolize the transformative cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Now with the Greek's being know for their Mythology, I was surprised that there was not a lot about rabbit's or hare's in the myth's Hermes (Greek) – God of the spoken word; the rabbit was sacred to Hermes as a fleet-footed messenger Now we are going to discuss the hare in coinage and as a city badge. The Hare in Magna Graecia Many ancient Greek cities adopted symbolic or mythical animals as badges or totems. Athens chose the owl due to its association with Athena. Corinth chose the Pegasus. For Cyzicus in Anatolia, it was the tuna fish. And so on. Americans have a similar custom: the dolphin for Miami, the colt for Indianapolis, the bear for Chicago. Several cities in “Magna Graecia” (the region of southern Italy and Sicily settled by Greek colonists beginning in the eighth century BCE) adopted the leaping hare as a distinctive symbol on their classical-era coinage. bunny1 Anaxilas, Tyrant of Rhegium The story begins with Anaxilas, son of Cretines. In 494 BCE he seized power at Rhegium (or Rhegion, known today as Reggio Calabria at the tip of the boot of Italy) and soon extended his rule to Sicily. Anaxilas is credited with importing Greek hares to Sicily for the aristocratic sport of hunting. A leaping hare appears on his small silver litra at Rhegium as early as 480 BCE. When his mule-chariot (biga) team won in the Olympic games, he placed that image on his coins. Coinage is conservative, and this basic design – mule chariot obverse, leaping hare reverse – was continued for generations. Neighboring cities that allied with Rhegium or came under its control soon adopted the leaping hare as a symbol, notably Messana. Early coinage of Messana closely copied Rhegium’s design, changing only the “ethnic” (the inscription giving the name of the city). About 420 BCE, Messana issued a magnificent silver tetradrachm depicting the nature god Pan, seated on a rock playing with a leaping hare[1]. Another tetradrachm from this period shows the hare leaping over a head of Pan. Messana Tetradrachms On a coin dated after 460 BCE, the nearby city of Lokroi[2] shows a hare leaping over an overturned amphora. A century later (ca. 360) the city of Croton placed the hare on the reverse of its small silver diobols, with its own traditional symbol of the tripod on the obverse. A very different representation of the hare makes its appearance on Greek coinage about the year 400 BCE. The hare appears as a victim, being torn by the beak of an eagle as it grips the hare in its talons. The magnificent silver decadrachm of Akragas is perhaps the most famous example. On the reverse of this large coin, a pair of eagles perch on a rocky crag, about to dine on a dead hare. One bends down toward the prey, the other stretches its neck upward to screech in triumph. A cataloguer of the Hunt collection relates the image to a chorus in the play Agamemnon: “The eagles are an omen sent from Zeus to Agamemnon and Menelaus commanding the sacrifice of Iphigenia before the Greek fleet might set sail for the Trojan War.” (Lorber, 182) Attributed to engravers named Myron and Polykrates, less than 10 examples of this coin are known. A similar design appears on the less rare Akragas tetradrachms of the same period, and was eventually copied at Lokroi, Croton and other cities. Akragas Silver Decadrachm The Greek town of Elis controlled the sacred site of Olympia and was responsible for managing the Games held there every four years. This responsibility included issuing special coinage for the use of visitors attending the event. In the fifth century BCE, this coinage reached a high standard of artistic excellence. The obverse of a silver stater struck for the 87th Olympiad (432 BCE) depicts an eagle tearing with its beak a hare held in its talons. Two centuries later, we see the same design (executed with less grace, perhaps) on a silver drachm of Elis. About 400 BCE, the very obscure town of Atarneus (or Atarnios, now Dikili, on the Aegean coast of Turkey opposite the island of Lesbos) issued charming tiny silver half obols with a hare on the reverse. Only a few examples are known; one sold for US$700 in a February 2014 auction[3]. Greek island declares war on wild rabbits Athens - Farmers on the Greek island of Lemnos have declared war on a plague of wild rabbits which they say is destroying thousands of hectares of wheat and vines, local officials said on Thursday. Under pressure from landholders, who claim to have lost over 2 000 hectares of planted crops to the rabbit scourge, local officials want the government to lift restrictions on hunting to enable an island-wide cull. "There's thousands of them," Lemnos deputy prefect Thodoris Baveas said on Thursday. "Just by driving at night you can hit a couple each time, there's that many." The Lemnos authorities want to permit night-time hunts, which are banned in Greece, as the rabbits stay hidden during daytime. Speaking after a meeting with farmers on Thursday, Baveas said the prefecture was also considering importing weasels from Germany to deal with the problem. "They are expensive, I've heard that each costs about €4 400," Baveas said, noting. "We would need at least 10 weasels," he added, noting that the prefecture would like European Union funds to assist crop rehabilitation. The Greek branch of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) reacted cautiously to a hunting initiative, arguing that it could encourage attacks on other types of game on the island. Rabbits are more than companion animals to many in the House Rabbit Society. They are also living symbols of a life style, a philosophy and a value system. For example, many people who live with a house bunny have chosen a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. In America we usually define animals as "pets" or "food" more succinctly than people from other countries. A Frenchmen may be as comfortable riding a horse from their stable, as eating horse at a restaurant and likewise, dogs and cats are seen as food in some Asian societies. Similarly, in Iceland the horse is used for traditional sheepherding work in its native country, as well as for leisure, showing, and racing and some horses are still bred for slaughter, and much of the meat is exported to Japan, or eaten as a delicacy in Iceland. People who live with rabbits may be more acutely aware of this dichotomy than are people with other companion animals, because rabbits are seen as either food or companions here while dogs, cats and horses are strictly companions. So on that note there is a popular rabbit dish in Greece called Lagos Stifado (Λαγός στιφάδο) — hare stew with pearl onions, vinegar, red wine and cinnamon — it is a much-prized dish enjoyed in Greece and Cyprus and communities in the diaspora, particularly in Australia where the hare is hunted as a feral pest. In the case of stifado (stee-FAH-do), debate centers on the tomatoes and wine. Simple chopped tomatoes? Or tomato paste and crushed tomatoes? Red wine or white? Sweet or dry? Now fi you can get ahold of the incomparable Greek sweet wine Mavrodaphne, that is what is recomended. Without Mavrodaphne the stifado is a shadow of itself, although you can use a Port in a pinch. What does stifado taste like? The Orient, in its classical sense. It must have been quite the treat when it was invented, most likely in the Middle Ages when Greece was under Venetian rule. Any combination of sweetness with exotic spices such as cinnamon and allspice in an otherwise savory dish screams the 1300's or 1400's. Stifado uses a lot of olive oil, so it is smooth going down. This keeps the rabbit moist as well, which is braised slowly until it is about to fall off the bone. You can pull the meat off the bone before serving, or just leave the pieces in the stew. The Greeks typically leave the pieces as is. The spices give the stew zing without heat, and the tomatoes, which are obviously a post-1500's addition, add a bit more sweetness as well as needed acidity. There’s a reason stifado is such a strong part of Greek cooking. You’ll want either a nice Greek red wine, a lager beer, or ouzo with a glass of water as a chaser to go along with this stew. And don’t forget to have lots of good crusty bread around, too. Greek Rabbit Stew. Kouneli Stifado Prep Time 20 mins Cook Time 1 hr 30 mins Total Time 1 hr 50 mins I have not yet made this rabbit stew, but if you are freaked out about rabbit, you could substitute chicken. Keys here are browning the rabbit really well, including sweet wine (Mavrodaphne if you can find it), as well as allspice and cinnamon. Course: Soup Cuisine: Greek Serves: 6 people Author: Hank Shaw Ingredients 2 cottontail rabbits or 1 domestic rabbit Kosher salt 2 medium red onions, sliced 5 cloves chopped garlic 10 allspice berries 1 cinnamon stick 4 bay leaves 1 tablespoon dried oregano 2 tablespoons tomato paste 4 large tomatoes, grated, or 1 14-ounce can of crushed tomatoes[/ingredient] 1 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup sweet red wine 1/2 cup chicken or rabbit stock 1/4 cup red wine vinegar Freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil Instructions Cut up the rabbits and cut into serving pieces. Be sure to include little bits, like the belly flaps, the front legs, the kidneys and such; they become yummy surprises in the finished stew. Salt the rabbit pieces well and set aside for 30 minutes. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a frying pan and brown the rabbit well. As each piece browns, move it to a brazier or Dutch oven or other heavy, lidded pot. When the rabbit is browned, saute the onions for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat, until they begin to brown. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Sprinkle with salt. Do not let the garlic burn. Turn the contents of the frying pan into the brazier or a Dutch oven, then arrange the bay leaves, oregano, allspice berries and cinnamon stick over them. In the pan you browned the rabbit and the onions, add the wine, sweet wine, vinegar, stock, tomato paste and grated tomatoes — cut tomatoes in half and run them through your coarsest grater to leave the skins out of your pot. Cook this down over high heat for 3-4 minutes, then pour over everything in the pot. Cover the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook slowly for 1 hour, then check. It may need up to another hour. You want the rabbit to be just about falling off the bone. You can pull the rabbit meat off the bone, as I do, or just let your guests do that. Grind some black pepper and drizzle some really good olive oil over everything right when you serve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souda_(island) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_horse https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/greece-rabbit-savvy-pets.62323/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare https://honest-food.net/greek-rabbit-stew/ https://www.cretanbeaches.com/en/fauna-and-animal-species/mammals-in-crete/rabbit https://rabbit.org/journal/4-11/symbol.html http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/lepus.htm http://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/lepus-constellation/ http://www.terriwindling.com/blog/2014/12/The-Folklore-of-Rabbits-Hares.html http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?t=20160&start=40 https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/technology/greek-island-declares-war-on-wild-rabbits-239336 http://mythsymbolsandplay.typepad.com/my-blog/2017/03/deities-associated-with-hares-and-rabbits.html https://coinweek.com/ancient-coins/bunny-money-rabbits-hares-ancient-coins/ Assessment of Genetic Structure of Greek Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) Populations Based on Variation in Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Abstract The RAPD method was used to assess the genetic differentiation of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from Central Greece. Greek wild populations were compared with samples from Austria, Poland, Germany, France, and Bulgaria, as well as with reared/released hares to investigate the impact of the releases on the native populations' genetic structure. The absence of diagnostic bands distinguishing between L. europaeus populations confirmed the high level of gene flow between brown hare populations over long geographic distances reported by other authors. Phylogenetic trees, derived from genetic distances estimated by RAPD band frequencies, suggested one major partitioning event of nuclear DNA lineages found in the samples. The reared individuals clustered with the Austrian, Polish, German, and French populations, whereas the Greek populations clustered apart with the Bulgarian population. Within Greece the distribution of the six wild populations did not follow any geographical trend, since their genetic divergence did not seem to correlate to geographic distances. However, RAPD profiles of some reared and wild specimens were different from the common RAPD pattern observed in the vast majority of sampled hares, probably reflecting an admixture of genetically differentiated individuals. The RAPD analysis indicates that releases might have begun to affect Greek population structure and reinforces the view that appropriate management is needed, adjusted to the local populations' biology and ecology. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1020260819629 The Greek Harehound is a rare breed of dog that only comes in a black and tan color, originally bred as a scent hound for tracking and chasing hare in Southern Greece.

The bird speaks, takes a seed, and the mother is jealous of it. The famine blackened the eyes. The mother is swearing onto the eyes. The good soldier from Souli stands aside and cries: "Lone dark rifle, why do I hold you in the arm, where you became heavy for me and the Muslim knows it ?" April and Cupid are dancing and lauging together, and as many blossoms and cores come out, so many weapons enclose you. A small white hill of sheep yells in movement, and gets thrown deep within the sea again, and, being vast white, it merged with the beauties of the sky. And into the waters of the lake, which it reached in fast, a blue butterfly played with its shadow, that felt its sleep within the wild lilium. The petite worm is also being in its sweet hour. The nature is magic and a dream in beauty and grace, the black stone and the dried up grass are vast golden. It spills itself with a thousand faucets, it speaks on a thousand languages: "Whoever dies today, dies fo a thousand times." https://fablesofaesop.com/the-hare-and-the-tortoise.html A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. “Do you ever get anywhere?” he asked with a mocking laugh. “Yes,” replied the Tortoise, “and I get there sooner than you think. I’ll run you a race and prove it.” The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time. Moral The race is not always to the swift.   © Copyrighted

I had my friend John on the podcast this week and we had a lot of fun with this one. I'll definitely have him on again. This chicken parm recipe will make sense if you listen to the podcast: Servings 4 Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 30 minutes Ingredients: 4 thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts1 egg1/2 teaspoon onion powder1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1/4 teaspoon garlic powderfreshly ground black pepper to taste1/4 cup all purpose flour1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese2 teaspoons dried basil2 teaspoons dried oregano1 cup marinara sauce (approximate measure)4 slices mozzarella cheese Instructions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper. In one shallow bowl, use a fork to beat egg with onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. In another shallow bowl, stir together flour, parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano. Dip each chicken piece into egg mixture, and allow excess egg to drip off. Then, press egg-coated chicken into the flour/parmesan mixture, coating all sides evenly. Place coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking dish. (Sprinkle a little extra flour mixture over any spots you missed.) Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. (Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.) Carefully remove pan from oven. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the top of each piece of chicken, and arrange the cheese slices over the sauce. (I tear the cheese slices to fit the chicken.) Return chicken to the oven and bake about 5 minutes longer, or until cheese Is melted. Serve warm IG Chef John: @johnny5alive88 Dewey: @thatdeweyguy Me: @kooljoel

You know Rob as the founder of Open Sky Fitness and the Open Sky Fitness Podcast, but did you know he also has an obsession with cooking fantastic meals? In this weeks Episode, Rob and his wife Devon will discuss the importance of “batch cooking” in creating a healthy lifestyle. They also give you a step by step way to begin as well as a few of their favorite recipes and healthy dinner ideas. Below we will take you through these steps. What is Batch Cooking? Batch Cooking is when you prepare many portions of meals at once and then save the remaining portions for a future meal. In other words, when you are cooking dinner, cook 4-5 times more than you would normally eat and save the rest for lunch for the week, or dinner the next few nights. It’s just a simple way of saying that you are preparing your meals and snacks ahead of time. For health this, is key. Rob says, “If you are not planning to succeed, you are planning to fail.” Why is it Important for Fat Loss? Rob and Devon have found that their clients learn quickly about what foods to eat, but often their lack of preparation holds them back from actually being able to accomplish their desired goals. Batch cooking is an easy way to help you make better choices of what foods you eat.  When you are hungry and tired you tend to go towards foods that will give you instant energy. These would be your carbohydrate heavy foods like sugars and breads. If you already have a great meal in a Tupperware in the fridge, you will be less likely to stuff your face with the donuts at the office. Also, when you are tired from a long day at work and you don’t really feel like cooking, you will be less likely to stop for a Big Mac if you know you are on your way home to a delicious steak and roasted vegetables. Why is it Important for Building Muscle Mass? When you want to build muscle mass the first ingredient is adding a ton of healthy foods into your daily diet. For some people that might be simply eating larger portions; for others that might be adding an entire extra meal. Who has time to cook four meals a day everyday? That’s why you can take a few hours to prepare a few different recipes that last for multiple meals and you’ll always have food at your fingertips. You won’t have to think about your next meal, it’s already there in your cooler. You won’t have to grab the chips from the vending machine because you have a homemade trail mix in your man purse. Batch Cooking for Beginners... Are you a newby in the kitchen? It’s ok, just don’t go overboard.   At the beginning look for recipes that have a simple and short ingredient list like a chili or frittata. Don’t get overwhelmed with the recipes with 20 or more ingredients. The important thing is that you get started in your new goal of a healthier lifestyle. Food Prep with the Experienced Chef... Rob says his time in the kitchen is like conducting an orchestra.   He looks at his different sections and tools in workspace as the different instruments. He has meatballs on the stove, spinach stuffed mushrooms in his oven, carne asada on the grill, a vegetable crudite on the cutting board, and bone broth in the crockpot. When he goes shopping he plans accordingly. If you love to cook test your skills and create a symphony in the kitchen! Don’t want to cook?:Healthy Dinner Ideas on the Go. Like the idea of preparing meals but hate to cook at home? Rob and Devon truly believe that home cooking is the key to really being healthy. At restaurants and supermarkets, you don’t have control over what kind of oils or how much salt they use; nor do you know of the quality of their ingredients. However, if you really don’t have an hour a week more of time or if you just despise cooking with a passion, Devon recommended the following healthy dinner ideas: Go to your local Whole Foods, Bristol Farms or Ralph's to the deli section where they have their prepared foods. Pick out a few different meats, some green vegetables, and an additional side dish that look delicious and healthful. Make sure to get the large size of each so you will have plenty of left overs for a few lunches and/or dinners. It's "batch shopping" instead of "batch cooking"! Steps for Batch Cooking Choose one or multiple recipes that you know you will enjoy eating for a few meals Write out a shopping list of the ingredients. Put both the shopping date and cooking date in your schedule. When cooking remember to clean as you go! After your meals are prepared,  separate them into tupperware for later. If there is way too much, put some in a freezer bag and freeze (remember to write the item and date on the bag) Make sure to bring your meals or snacks to work.

You know what?... Let's leave the world for a couple of minutes and enjoy this coffee break more than ever! Why don't we fly to the edge of the unknow/known, why don't we experience 'The Edge of a Fairytale' by this great artist from Sweden: Between Interval. They did it again! Hi quality music from one of the most beautiful countries up North from our perspectives. Between Interval is Stefan Strand; he started playing around with sounds at the age of 14, inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre and the SEGA master system for instance. Later releasing house, trance and progressive music under a different name. The ambient motto never left Stefan: The Spotted Peccary label had an excellent nose for his style! They released his albums 'Radio Silence', 'Secret Observatory, 'Autumn Continent'. Stefan got 'top pick' album @ Amazon, Top List for new age in 2006 and 2007. On today's show we play 3 tracks in a row from his latest new ambient adventure sent to us by Spotted Peccary themselves: "The Edge of a Fairytale". Tracks are simply deep... (sounds from the woods and the rain are not included on the album!) There's a mystical tone, some might say: nbsp;-dark- ? Well, that is 'dark' in the sense of 'not knowing what to expect'. Stefan invites us to experience what we know and what we don't know at all.... Are you in? Enjoy the music, enjoy the recipe.
