Podcasts about Greek salad

In this episode we run through the Greek alphabet and see the history behind each symbol as used in chemistry, from alpha for alpha particles to omega as in omega-fatty acids. We encounter a couple of Greek letters not used as chemical symbols too.Support the show Support my podcast at https://www.patreon.com/thehistoryofchemistry Tell me how your life relates to chemistry!

Is it offensive to say you've "upgraded" an absolute classic?In this case, it's not Simon making the claim - it's from an online recipe... But enough users are in the comments RAVING about the so-called upgrade that Simon had to give it a go.The big difference? Marinating the fetta in broken pieces (not cut cubes) in oil made from frying lemon slices. Blistering the red peppers/capsicum. And using fresh oregano (as well as traditional dried if you want to really, REALLY upgrade)!RECIPE:Start with 225g of feta – tear it into chunky pieces and place in a bowl. Thinly slice 1 lemon, remove the seeds, and cook the slices in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until nicely charred – about 5 minutes. Add the lemon slices and oil to the feta, along with ¾ teaspoon dried oregano and a big pinch of salt. Let it sit and soak up the flavour while you prep the rest.Now, in the same pan, cook 3 long sweet peppers in a bit more oil until they're blistered and soft – about 5–7 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly, then slice them into bite-sized pieces.In a large bowl, toss together:1 medium red onion, thinly sliced1 large cucumber, chopped500g cherry tomatoes, halvedA big pinch of saltAnd 1 tablespoon red wine vinegarAdd in the chopped blistered peppers and gently mix.To serve, pile everything onto a platter, spoon over the marinated feta and charred lemons, and drizzle with any leftover lemony oil.MORE IDEAS - Want to make it dinner?

Here's a budget-friendly, flavorful summer recipe, courtesy of Jade Warshaw at Ramsey Solutions (see “Dave Says” from money and business expert Dave Ramsey on page 9A). “Let me tell you — I'm here for this salad!” Jade says. “It's hearty. It's healthy. And it won't break the bank. And to make it even greater, it tastes better with time in the fridge (yay, leftovers!). So, if you're looking for an easy, protein-packed salad recipe that'll give you several cheap meals this week, this one is it.” Garbanzo Greek Salad Serves 8.

In this episode Sascha and I talk about our old strategies for self-protection when faced with the threat of uncharted love. We allow that they may be doing us more harm than good but we'll probably stick with them anyway. Featuring: fathers, fire escapes, dreams, Greek Salad, some murder, tenacity, ice castles, and a mention of the Rat Stove (which will be better, though never fully, explained in an upcoming episode).Love! Who can understand it? Certainly neither of us.

A great conversation about the Real Wild West and the flight that smelled of Greek Salad and Cologne.

If the Sirens had sung of sweet tomatoes, glistening with rich olive oil, paired with refreshing cucumber, and scattered with pearl-white feta, to the illustrious Odysseus, he would have never returned to his rocky island home. Fortunately, it would be several millennia before all of those things came together in a salad bowl—which means it was several millennia and a few years before people started ruining it.

What is Greek Salad and key Ingredients

In this episode, I lay out the "Greek Salad Challenge" as a homework assignment. The purpose of this challenge is to drill knife skills, and work on creating baseline seasonings through balancing fat, acid and salt. We then carry this concept over into a lesson on how I would recreate the flavor of a hollandaise sauce if all I had was a recipe and had never tasted hollandaise before. This first principals approach to dissecting a dish through flavor structure will allow you to understand and replicate flavor structures at their most basic level. Then, I walk you through yet un-edited footage of me searing scallops in the restaurant, which leads to a deep dive in the mistakes people make when cooking scallops, as well as some basic plate composition tips. CONTENT REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE Culinary Knife Skills: https://stellaculinary.com/cks Cooking Techniques (pan roasting): https://stellaculinary.com/ct Emulsion Science: https://stellaculinary.com/fs HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT For your homework assignment, make either a greek salad, or a salsa / chutney / garnish inspired by the greek salad methodology laid out in the podcast. Focus on the basic knife skill techniques of: The Pinch Grip Guide Hand Julienne. If making a salsa or chutney, focus on the dice, making everything as even as possible. When dressing and building your flavor structures, remember; fat first, acid second, vinegar third. Take it from there. More advanced students, add a protein of choice. Recommended proteins are pan roasted chicken / fish, shrimp, scallops, steak. _____________________________________________________ The Stella Culinary School Podcast is available through your favorite podcast app, such as Apple, Google, Spotify, & Stitcher.

Today on the Abiding Together Podcast, Sr. Miriam, Michelle, and Heather discuss how to have fruitful and authentic small group discussions that provide safety and opportunities for deep connection with others. We give insights into how to talk in a vulnerable way, how to sit at one another’s feet and listen, and what the ingredients are for meaningful conversations. We hope this offers some helpful insights for going deeper in your friendships and small faith groups with other women. One Thing We Love this Week Sister Miriam’s one thing - Heather’s Greek Salad (diced cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet onion and feta (you can get it without goat milk if you like) and the amazing Abbotsford Greek Islands restaurant dressing. Michelle’s one thing - Reading books aloud with her daughter. She is using this website to read The Secret Garden. Heather’s one thing - Making an awesome charcuterie board. Here’s a link with a video of how to make one. Also, you can pinterest this and find other cool ideas. I love including a raised bowl with some little chocolates in it as well. Dried apricots, mixed nuts, sliced pepper salami, Boursin, baby dills, cheese, brie, are some of my favorites. Discussion questions What blesses you the most in good conversation? What makes you feel safe in conversation and what makes you feel uncomfortable? What is bringing you joy right now in your life? What is a theme going on in your life this year? What does restored femininity (masculinity) look like? Journal Questions Do you spend more time sharing or listening in conversations? How can you grow in the area that you're not as strong in? Who is someone in your life that you need to make time to sit at their feet more often? What holds you back from sharing your heart? Quote to Ponder “We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.” - Brene Brown Scripture for lectio divina - Sirach 14-16 “Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter: whoever finds one has found a treasure. Faithful friends are beyond price; no amount can balance their worth. Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; and those who fear the Lord will find them.”

So, What Happened?? is a podcast presented by two friends about dating and sex in your 20s. We'll talk about being the hero, and the villain when it comes to dating and relationships, being the person who gets carried away and falls too quickly, the person who messes up difficult conversations, and all the people you can be in between. On this episode, Will and Yani discuss bad date excuses, the age old question of whether a Greek salad constitutes a main or a starter, and 'self-described nice guys'. Our artwork is by Laszlo Isaac Obi Klonhammer and original music is by Chris Robbs.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I recently visited "Key West" with my Friends Christy Haussler & Allison Willwood of Team Podcast. Team Podcast They took me all over "The Keys."  I went to some great restaurants and did some great activities. I'll be telling you about them in upcoming episodes. Today, I'm going to tell you about the Famous "Sloppy Joe's" in Key West. Sloppy Joe’s – Key West 201 Duval Street, Key West, FL 33040                             corner of Greene St since 1939                                         (305) 294-5717  Hours Daily 9:00 – 4:00am Sunday 12:00 – 4:00am   History Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine that the United States went through a period of time, when Alcohol was “prohibited” and illegal. That period of time, from January 16, 1920 (when the 18th Amendment, which banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquor went into effect) until the ratification of the 21st Amendment (The Gov’t had to write another amendment to repeal the 18th Amendment) went into effect on December 5, 1933. On that same day, December 5, 1933, became the “Official beginning” of the famous Sloppy Joe’s in Key West. Joe Russell, became a legitimate saloon owner of the “Blind Pig” which served alcohol to the Key West community. The saloon changed it’s name to the “Silver Slipper,” with the addition of a Dance Floor, but that didn’t matter to the regulars who enjoyed good friends, gambling and fifteen cent whiskeys. It was Ernest Hemmingway, the famous American novelist, and patron of Russell’s bar from the start…..who encouraged Russell to change the name of the bar to “Sloppy Joe’s” Sloppy Joe’s was adopted from Jose Garcia Rio’s “Havana Club” which sold liquor and iced seafood. Because the floor was always WET with melted ice, the patrons would tease Jose….known as the American Name of  “Joe” with running a “Sloppy Place.” The  name ….”Sloppy Joe” stuck. Joe Russell migrated “Sloppy Joe’s” down the street to the now famous “201 Duval Street” on May 5, 1937, when his rent was raised to $4.00 a week from $3.00 a week and he refused to pay the rent increase. Joe Russell bought the building for $2,500. Hemmingway was a good friend of Joe Russell’s and was a frequent patron at Sloppy Joe’s until he left Key West in 1939. Today, Sloppy Joe’s operates very similar to the come-as-you-are attitude Joe Russell branded back in 1933. The restaurant, entertainment and retail divisions, compliment each other and serve the Key west community 365 days a year. You’ll find the Restaurant serves All-American favorites, with a touch of Caribbean flare. The menu is mainly comprised of Burgers, Sandwiches and Salads. “Sloppy Joe’s” is a “Favorite” Tourist attraction. The food choices in this restaurant are going to be fan-favorite “Pub Food” with daily specials. For “Healthy” eating, I have a couple of recommendations. For Salads…I would have either the “House Salad” or “Greek Salad.” Or…..I would order the grilled or blackened Chicken or Fish Sandwich and tell your waiter/waitress to “skip” the bread. The House Salad is made with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar & jack cheese and croutons. Tell your waiter or waitress to “skip” the croutons and add some “grilled” chicken or fish. You’ll pay $3 - $4 extra for the added meat. They have Balsamic Vinaigrette or Italian dressing as the “healthier” than the other salad dressing choices. Ask for your dressing on the side. The “Greek Salad” comes with Fresh Greens with a hard boiled egg, black olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, red onion, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini and Feta Cheese with a Greek Vinaigrette Dressing. $11.95 For this review….I had……the Peel & Eat “Key West Pink Shrimp” OMG!!! Steamed in beer & served chilled ½ lb $9.95 you get 4-5 shrimp  1lb $17.25 you get  8-10 shrimp I had the ½ pound……and I’m telling you…..Key West Pink Shrimp is the BEST Shrimp I’ve ever had! Then……my guests and I shared the famous Original “Sloppy Joe Sandwich.” Ground beef in a sweet, tomato sauce, with onions, peppers & spices.  $9.95 I had “One Bite” of the infamous sandwich…..and it took me right back to my childhood. I remember having sloppy Joe’s A LOT! Who remembers having Sloppy Joe’s as a kid? Well….Sloppy Joe’s in Key West has it down pat. Not a “Healthy” choice at all with all the sugar in their sauce and the white bun…..but….hey.. you have to have one bite…..so you can say, “I’ve eaten at the original Sloppy Joe’s in Key West.” Finally…..I had some of the “Mojo Pulled Pork Taco.” You get 3 corn or flour tortillas, filled with mojo pulled pork, grilled onions, served with Black Bean Sauce & Lime $10.50 How do you make a Mojo Pulled Pork Taco Healthy? Open the tortilla and scrape the pork, beans & onions onto you plate THEN……eat it with your Fork! You don’t need the tortillas! You do have to enjoy yourself on vacation! It’s all about using your brain Nation! You HAVE to LOOK at Menus BEFORE you walk into a restaurant…..ESPECIALLY when you are going to eat at a FAMOUS place like “Sloppy Joe’s” in Key West! You MUST stay FOCUSED! Be MINDFUL! You’re listening to some good bands, having a good time with friends or family……..It is EASY to get caught up in the moment and start eating food that’s right in front of you….like French Fries……Chips & Salsa….you know what I mean. Stay Focused and Order the House or Greek Salad with grilled chicken or fish. It will Fill you up and you’ll be eating Healthy AND you’ll have a good time! The ENTERTAINMENT is top notch at Sloppy Joe’s. Bands from all over play at Sloppy Joe’s from noon till late into the morning. I had the pleasure of listening to “for Pete’s Sake” who played some good covers, like “Hotel California” which is one of my favorites! You can check out the Entertainment calendar on Sloppy Joe’s Website. https://goo.gl/qfPFNP They have an Annual “Hemmingway Look Alike” Contest, where white bearded men come from all over the world to honor our beloved author’s birthday. This year, the 38th Annual contest runs from July  19 – July 22nd They will even have representatives from the Hemmingway look-alike society on hand, to sign up new members. The website is  www.papalookalikes.com    The retail store has lots of “Sloppy Joe” merchandise. You can buy Tee Shirts, Glassware, Party Supplies and other Souvenirs. Check out the online store. I have the link for you.  https://store.sloppyjoes.com/   Time to Rate Sloppy Joe’s!   Remember…..1 Avocado means the Restaurant was “Ehhh”…..so it was “Fair.” 2 Avocados means the restaurant was “Good” just not Awesome. It was missing the mark on the service provided or the atmosphere, not enough healthy foods….  and finally….. “3”  Avocados means you are going to have a “GREAT” Restaurant Experience. You’ll have Great Food with Healthy options, Great Service and a Great Atmosphere. In other words…..Go THERE! For my “Overall Experience,” I give Sloppy Joe’s 2 Avocados!! The atmosphere is fantastic. The entertainment is fantastic! The only reason I can’t give Sloppy Joe’s a BIG 3 Avocados…is….because…..they simply don’t have enough “Healthy Options” on their Menu. You can have salad or grilled chicken or grilled fish taco. The Key West Shrimp is great too….but I can go ANYWHERE and get these Healthy Food Options.   Great Place, Lots of fun….just be prepared to order salad with chicken or fish.   Add some more “Healthy Food Options” to your menu Sloppy Joe’s! Give me a delicious grilled Grouper with Brown Rice and Grilled Veggies. Or…..a Vegetable Soup.   Still……Sloppy Joe’s is a really Good place to visit   I want to personally thank Becky Lawrence, General Manager at Sloppy Joe’s and all the servers and very friendly bartenders, who made my experience at Sloppy Joe’s a memorable one.   If you are heading to Key West for a vacation, make sure Sloppy Joe’s is on your list for restaurants to visit!   Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com If you are ready to "finally" lose weight and keep it off forever, you need to "join Weight Loss Nation."

037: Insulin, AMPK, and mTOR Released: June 14, 2018 News The Express UK had a story recently on a recommendation made by the Arthritis Foundation that people stop using vegetable oils. Industrially produced vegetable oils, such as corn, afflower, sunflow, soy, and canola oils, contain large amounts of omega-6 oils. While omega-6 oils are necessary for our bodies, the American diet tends to involve way more omega-6 fats than we need, to the point that they can interfere with the proper functionality of our bodies and, in some cases, may promote cancer. Rather, the Arthritis Foundation recommends people swap their liquid oils to healthier olive oil. As proponents of low-carb, high-fat eating, we also recommend coconut oil, avocado oil, butter, or bacon grease. Insulin, AMPK, and mTOR Adam has been reading a lot of Dr. Jason Fung's work lately, and took the time in this episode to give a brief overview of insulin, AMPK, and mTOR. Insulin is a hormone produced in our bodies when we increase our blood sugar. It causes us to store excess sugars as fat. Excess insulin can cause cravings and drive us to eat more than we require. One of the reasons why we avoid carbohydrates is to keep insulin at bay. AMPK plays a role in how our cells handle energy. It discourages energy storage as fat and encourages the production of mitochondria. A low carb diet to the point of ketosis encourages the body to produce and use AMPK. It also has a hand in autophagy--the breaking down of unneeded body tissue to be used where it is needed. Dr. Fung suggests that this is why people who engage in intermittent fasting have less of an issue with extra skin after weight loss than those who rely solely on calorie restriction. MTOR is a growth hormone triggered by excess protein intake. This is great if you're trying to put on muscle, but it can also start to encourage you to eat more, generally. It's important to remember that an LCHF diet should not be high in protein; it should be moderate in protein. For most people, this looks like a protein intake of 60-100 grams per day, depending on your lean body mass and gender. Best Option The Best Option for Panera Bread (Also called St. Louis Bread Company in some areas) was harder than we expected, given Panera's reputation as a healthy fast food. When you get down to ingredient level, most of what they offer has added sugars and industrial oils. There were two options available, though. The first was the Seasonal Green Salad without the dressing. However, this option is simply vegetables and won't be very filling. The best option, therefore, is the Greek Salad, also without salad dressing. Though it would be a "dry" salad for you, the inclusion of olive, pepperoncini, and feta will make it flavorful on it's own, as well as making it more filling.

‘Wicked Uncle and the Smuggled Cat' Story by Bertie. Read by Richard. Proofread & audio edited by Jana Elizabeth. Duration 23 mins & 40 Hello, this is Richard, and I'm here with a Wicked Uncle story. For those of you who are new to Storynory, Uncle Jeff isn't that wicked, but he is a touch irresponsible. He is something of a hero to his niece and nephew, Jeremy and Jemima, and these days he has a steady girlfriend called Jessica. Yes I know, an awful lot of J's for one family. The instruction to “Fasten Seat Belts” was illuminated in red. Mum sighed deeply before imploring, “Jeff, can't you sit still for just one minute?” Her brother-in-law was sauntering down the aisle of the plane. “Naaa, there's no time to waste,” he said. But just before the wheels bounced on the runway, he jumped into a seat and plonked himself down into it. The cabin steward, who was firmly strapped into his own seat, glanced over at the irresponsible passenger and smiled. Mum shook her head. If they had been on a normal flight, Jeff would have received a good ticking off, and rightly so. As they were on a private jet, lent by one of his millionaire, or possibly billionaire, friends, he got away with his antics. The jet came to a halt. The steward opened the door of the cabin. Jeremy was the first onto the top of the stairs. The sunlight bouncing off the tarmac dazzled his eyes. The aggressively hot air smacked him in the face. The creaking sound of the cicadas in the bushes gave him the creeps. It was awesome. They were on holiday. Uncle Jeff's friend was called Stephanos. He had been born into a wealthy family, but by the time he had worked in banking, and then set up his own advertising and public relations company, he had made his own fortune. Even when Greece suddenly became quite a poor country, he seemed to do better and better. Like Jeff, he was good friends with that elusive person - Lady Luck. Stephanos was in Los Angeles, hanging out with Jerry Jefferson, the lead singer of the Gobsmackers. By the way, if you've never heard of Jerry Jefferson, that's because you're too young - back in ancient times, when your mum and dad were stepping out together. He was way cool. Nowadays you can mostly see his wrinkly face on late night chat shows. Anyway, Stephanos regarded this rocker as his hero, and that was why he personally handled all his PR. His villa was on the Island of Plusios, and he had lent it to Jeff for two weeks of the summer. By road, his place was quite a long and windy way out of town, but by speed boat, it took just five minutes to get there. A people carrier picked up the family from the airport and whisked them down to the harbour where the boat was waiting for them. The villa was like a cross between a luxury hotel and an Ancient Greek temple. Everything was made from marble, and was in the best possible taste. It had two swimming pools, its own private beach, and a games room with table tennis, snooker, and the latest thing in virtual reality gaming. The grounds were covered with lemon trees and the scent was simply gorgeous. They could have spent the whole holiday staying at the villa, but Jeff said they had to venture out to the town to taste some ‘real' Greek atmosphere. The most chilled Greek way of life was to be found in the cafes along the waterfront where the old men sat playing backgammon and making a little cup of strong black coffee last all morning. You could climb up the steep steps and walk among the white-washed houses admiring their little gardens and the colourful flowers growing out of old olive oil cans. In the evening, the most lively place to go was the restaurant in the square with the big plane tree. There you could eat Greek Salad made from tomatoes bursting with freshness and flavour, and you could order lamb souvlaki or fried calamari or baked sea bass and listen to live music played on the balalaika and the lyra. Later on, the more adventurous diners got up to dance sidestepping in a line, Greek Style. Every night, the hungriest of guests include a number of furry customers with imploring eyes. Occasionally, when they are especially tantalised, they meeow pathetically. Those diners with soft hearts, like Jeremy, Jemima, and Jessica, slip a sardine or a piece of lamb below the table where it quickly vanishes. One ginger cat was particularly asking Uncle Jeff for a piece of souvlaki, but he steadfastly ignored him. “He's got a heart as cold as flint,” said Jessica. Jeff was unmoved. “I'm being generous with my tough love,” he said. “If that cat's got to die of anything soon, it will be overeating. Look how fat he is! There are some poor mogs in the back streets that are just skin and bone, and then every winter the cat exterminators come round and put poison down to kill them off. If they didn't, the place would be overrun with cats and kittens. So these restaurant cats, they are the ones that have got it lucky. No need to feel sorry for them.” “What, they poison cats?! You must be making that up,” said Jessica in alarm. And she turned to Jeremy and Jemima and said, “Don't believe him. He's got a wild imagination.” “No, it's true. Stephanos told me,” insisted Jeff. “But that's so cruel,” said Jeremy. “I feel like crying,” said Mum. And even Dad looked sad. After dinner they took a late-night wander through the streets. Well, “streets” is perhaps a grand word for roads that are just about wide enough for a single donkey and cart. They climbed up to the top of the hill, and spotted the lights of the fishing boats. On the way back down, Jeremy said, “Hey look!” and he pointed to two bright green eyes. “Here, kitty, kitty,” said Jemima. The cat emerged out of the shadows. She was completely black apart from a spot of white on her right, front paw. She was a winner in the looks department of life, but in other regards she wasn't so fortunate. “Meeow,” she said pathetically. “Is this cat skinny enough for you to feel just a tad sympathetic?” Jessica asked her boyfriend. “Yes, I think she will do,” said Jeff. He took off his knapsack and fished out a little parcel of newspaper which he unwrapped. Inside there were some pieces of meat. “There you go,” he said to the cat. “Hope you like Souvlaki. Ha, well of course you do, you're a Greek cat.” “Where did that come from?” asked Jessica “I asked the waiter to wrap up our leftovers,” said Jeff, “because I knew we were bound to meet some hungry fellas on the way home.” The cat was purring loudly and appreciatively. “Oooh, can we take her back to England?” pleaded Jemima. “Yes, we must,” agreed Jeremy. “We've got to save her from being poisoned in winter.” “Uh-oh,” said Dad. “Well,” said Jeff. “You know you can't save every cat on all the Greek islands. There must be millions of them.” “But that's not the point,” said Jessica firmly. “This cat found us. She's ours now. We have to look after her.” “Tell that to Smoochies,” said Jeff. Smoochies was Jessica's dog who was staying with her sister while they were on holiday. “But this kitty can live with us, can't she Dad?” insisted Jemima. “Well,” said Dad. “Er, let's see if that's possible.” Secretly Dad hoped that the cat would disappear into the shadows and merge with all the other cats and they would never see her again. But the kids were very careful to remember that she lived in the little street around the corner from the bakery. The next night, after dinner, they went to find her and feed her again. By now she had a name - Ariadne. And so it was, every night, they came to feed Ariadne. And Jessica asked around and found an Irish vet who lived on the island and did his best for the local animals. He agreed to vaccinate and microchip the cat so that they could take her home. In the market, Jessica bought a basket, a cushion, and a bowl for Ariadne, and on Saturday morning they came to wake her up early. She was already looking a little less bony. In fact her tummy was starting to look a little rounded. They thought it might be tricky to coax her into the basket, though Jeff was prepared to get scratched. But it only took a sardine to encourage her into the basket, and soon they were carrying her to the vet for her appointment. After that she came to live with them in the villa. Ariadne was an especially fortunate cat, because normally animals have to travel in the luggage department of the airplane. It is cold, dark and scary down there, and usually they have to be sedated. But as the family were travelling by private jet, they planned to take her with them in the cabin. She could have her own seat if she wanted, just so long as she stayed in her basket, Mum said. “Naa, I'll hold her,” said Jemima. But then disaster struck. Stephanos called Jeff to apologise most terribly, that there had been a change of plan and he needed his jet to fly to Africa with Jerry Jefferson. The rock legend suddenly had a whim to watch a charity football cup in Botswana. They would have to travel home - horror of horrors - on Stingy Jet, as it was the only scheduled airline with seats available back to London. The kids were disappointed, naturally, but that was before they realised what this meant for Ariadne. Stingy Jet did not allow cats in the passenger cabin. Ariadne would have to travel in the hold. When the news sunk in, they were distraught. “Dad you can't let her travel with the bags?” pleaded Jeremy. But the rules were the rules, and there was nothing that Dad could do. Ariadne would have to go with the suitcases. “Well it's better than staying behind and being poisoned,” said Mum. “Only just,” said Jeremy sulkily. They were on the first flight of the day. That meant they had to get up at 4am in the morning. Even though they arrived at the airport early, six buses unloaded passengers just before them. The queue of sleepy holidaymakers seemed like it was about a mile long. Most people were wearing shorts and sandals or flowery beach dresses. Some were tanned, others lobster red, and only a few fair-haired Englishmen had managed to keep their pale complexions. When they finally reached the check-in desk, the Stingy Jet rep said, “You have to take the cat to our help desk.” “Where's that?” asked Dad. “It's on the other side of the airport. You have to take the yellow shuttle bus.” “Typical,” said Dad. “Don't worry, I'll go,” said Jeff. “We'll come too,” chimed in Jeremy and Jemima. They went outside to look for the shuttle bus. When they couldn't find it, they asked a police officer and he said that the service did not start until 9am. “This is starting to get a bit silly,” sighed Jeff. “Why can't we just take her with us on board?” asked Jemima. “I really can't fathom it,” said Jeff. Then he smiled one of his sly little smiles. “Look, don't even drop a hint about this to your mum and dad.” And he put Ariadne's travelling pen down on the ground and opened its door. He reached inside, and pulled her out. He held Ariadne in front of his face and said, “Shshshshsh,” before slipping her into his hand luggage. After a little wait, they went back to find Mum and Dad. “Let's hurry, we don't want to miss the flight,” said Dad, even though they had two more hours to spare. They walked through passport control quite easily, but the real problem was how to smuggle Ariadne past the x-ray machines and security checks. “What if they see a cat skeleton in your hand luggage?” asked Jeremy in a whisper. “We'll just have to meet up with her on the other side,” said Jeff. And he quietly let her out of the bag and put her down on the floor. Ariadne got the idea. It wasn't hard for a cat to sneak through the barriers. If anyone saw her, they probably assumed she was an airport cat employed to keep mice away. They met up with her again in the Duty Free shop that specialised in selling tins of black caviar. “I bet you'd like some of that cat food,” said Jeff as he scooped her up into his bag. “Purrrrrrr,” she said back, which is cat lingo for “you bet.” They squished into their seats. Jeff bent down. It was hard because he was so tall and there was so little space. He pushed his hand luggage under the seat in front. It purred, but only quietly. Jessica winked at the kids. After a long, long delay, their plane taxied down the runway and soon they were turning to the right, leaning slightly over so that the kids had one last view of the sparkling sea and rocky coast. They even spotted Stephanos's villa. It was hard to miss as it was so huge. Not so very long after the pilot turned off the “Fasten Seat Belts” sign, the purring from the bag turned into meowing. An air steward passed down the aisle asking if anyone wanted to buy bacon and egg sandwiches that had been prepared in London the night before. “Meow” said the bag. The steward looked over at Jeff and Jessica. Jessica waved and said “Meow.” Jeff explained, “It's just a little game we're playing with our niece and nephew over there.” “Meow,” said Jemima. “Meow,” said the steward. And she went on her way. But the meowing continued. “Better check what's going on,” said Jeff. He managed to pull out the bag and retrieve Ariadne. Jessica took her on her lap and comforted the frightened animal. Another steward came along. “Is that a cat?” he asked. “Just a toy,” said Jeff. “Very realistic, voice activated, made in Shenzhen, and can do all sorts of tricks and even tell bedtime stories.” “Amazing,” said the steward. Ariadne was at that moment curled round and actively licking herself - just like a real cat. “I think we got away with it that time, but only just,” said Jeff when the steward had gone.” He wanted to put Ariadne back in her bag but Jessica said that was cruel. “What are they going to do now if they find out? Throw her off the plane?” “It wouldn't surprise me,” said Jeff. Fifteen minutes later the same steward came back and said, “That really is an amazing toy.” “It is isn't it?” said Jemima who was now holding her, much to the embarrassment of Mum and Dad who were no longer in the dark about the smuggled kitty-cat. “I mean,” said the steward, “who would have thought that a toy, even a voice activated one made in China, could give birth?” “What do you mean?” said Dad. But then he took another look at Ariadne and said, “Ah, is that? No it can't be, but it is…” Because a small, wet, much licked head was popping out of Ariadne - not at the usual end where you expect a cat's head to be, but at the giving birth end. Now the meowing grew very loud. People were looking around. The steward went to the end of the plane, picked up the microphone, and said, “We have a small announcement to make. We have a cat on board that is giving birth to one or more kittens. If there is a vet or a doctor on board, we would be grateful if you could make yourself known to a member of the cabin crew.” A lady got up and said that she was a midwife. She was more used to working with human Mums and babies, but she thought the general principle was probably the same. In fact, Ariadne was doing very well on her own. Her first furry kitten was fully born and a second one was emerging, encouraged by much licking. And as it happens, Jessica is a Junior Doctor, and seeing as she had failed to spot that Ariadne was pregnant, she felt slightly annoyed with herself and decided to keep quiet. Then another kitten popped out, and then another one. Ariadne was now lying on her side. The kittens seemed to know what to do. They were latching on to drink their mother's milk. She continued giving birth. The midwife helped clean each little delivery before handing them back to the mother. Jessica and the children were beside themselves with excitement. “Ladies and gentlemen,” said the steward, “for those of you who are anxiously asking for an update on our in-flight drama, the mother is doing very well and so are the five babies that have been born so far. I'm told that another one is on its way.” Fortunately, six was the final total. Jessica said, “Yes, Ariadne, it's sensible to stop there because six babies are more than enough for any mum to look after.” “You'd better watch she doesn't try to hide any in a cupboard or under a chair,” said the midwife, “because I've heard that mother cats sometimes try to offload one or two newborn kittens.” But Ariadne just purred. She was evidently very pleased with herself. The head steward came over to congratulate the mother and her family and only gave a mild ticking off for not obeying the airline's rules. And so by the time the family reached London, they had almost doubled in size. There were now four adults, two children, one cat, and six kittens. After they had picked up their luggage off the carousel they had to decide whether or not to walk through the Green Channel or the Red one that said, “Something to Declare.” Jeff wanted to pick the green one. He looked at Dad. “Well alright,” he said. “I know what you're thinking.” And so Dad took Ariadne and the six kittens through the Red Channel and told the customs officer that they had six kittens who had been born in flight, as well as one Greek cat with a “pet passport” that was all in order. “Well, not had that one before,” said the official. He did not really know what the procedure was, but after a call to the airport vet, he allowed them through. “Well,” said Mum when they met on the other side. “It wasn't just Ariadne I was worried about. When he saw that Jeff had smuggled a cat on board, Dad almost had kittens.” And that is the story of The Wicked Uncle and the Smuggled Cat. Read by me, Richard, for Storynory.com      

Matthew and Toby debut a “new” segment called Around the Horn to discuss the Team Rubio phenomenon (which is probably not a reference to everyone’s favorite junior senator from Florida) and the final updates on Tim Tebow from spring training. On-location World Baseball Classic correspondent James Lynch joins the program to talk about the atmosphere at those final games, the future of the tournament, and why white masculinity means that no one can show they’re having fun playing baseball.

It's HOT! I don't know about you, but summer means two things to me: heat and busyness. Summer in south Louisiana is HOT! We definitely do not want to turn on the oven, if possible. Grill outside instead? Sure. But that's HOT too! How about fresh, cool, delicious salads for supper on those hot summer evenings? I love fresh veggies! There's nothing like fresh summer tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuces! On this episode I talk about a FREE eCookbook that contains a "family secret" recipe of one of our favorite salads… Tabouli!
