embarrassedCandied Espresso Walnuts
Nonstick oil spray
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons finely ground espresso coffee beans
1 Tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 large egg white
4 cups walnut halves (ca 12 oz) (I use pecans instead)
Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Whisk sugar and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk egg white in large bowl until frothy. Add walnuts; toss to coat. Sprinkle walnuts with espresso mixture and toss to coat. Spread coated walnuts on prepared sheet in a single layer. Bake 5 minutes. Slide spatula under walnuts to loosen them from baking sheet and stir, rearranging them in a single layer. Bake until walnuts are dry to the touch, about 5 minutes longer. Loosen walnuts from sheet again; set aside to cool on baking sheet. Can be made up to 2 weeks ahead and stored in airtight container at room temperature.
1 lb minced pork ---- 1/4 tsp celery salt
1 small onion, chopped ---- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 garlic clove, minced ---- 1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt ---- 1/4 - 1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp savory -- -- pie crust
Place all ingredients except bread crumbs in a saucepan. Bring to a boil & cook uncovered for 20 minutes over medium heat.
Remove from heat & add a few spoonsful of bread crumbs. Let stand 10 minutes. If the fat is not sufficiently absorbed by crumbs, don't add more; if not, continue in the same manner.
Cool & pour into a pastry-lined 10" pie pan. Cover with top crust. Bake at 400 F until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Serve hot. Can be frozen, then reheated without thawing.
I'd feel better about it if I didn't suspect the PM had bribed the judges.
Scientists describe the old book bouquet as "grassy notes with a tang of acids and a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustiness." The minute it comes out as a cologne, it's my signature scent.
How To Use An Apostrophe.
U.S. citizens are being urged to encourage Sen. Clinton to use her influence to secure the release of the hostages.
From the Time magazine article:
As Hillary Clinton pays her first visit to Pakistan as Secretary of State, an unfolding hostage crisis will test the Obama Administration's rhetoric on human rights in the region. Officials at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad say at least three landlords have held as many as 170 bonded farmworkers at gunpoint on their estates in the country's southeast Sindh province since late September. With U.S. attention focused on getting Pakistan to deal with huge security issues to Washington's satisfaction, will Clinton be able to press Islamabad's rulers to address a controversy involving rural poverty and modern-day slavery?
The crisis began after the workers' advocates successfully petitioned three district courts to declare as illegal the debts that the landlords were using to compel the workers into indentured servitude. Those debts average around 1,000 Pakistani rupees — roughly $12. The hostages, a third of whom are children, some as young as 4 months old, are landless peasants, known as haari in Urdu. According to Ghulam Hyder, a spokesman for Pakistan's Green Rural Development Organization, the landlords have killed one hostage already and are threatening to kill the others unless they drop the cases and return to work. The landlords also abducted Amarchand Bheel, an advocate for the laborers, as he traveled to court to plead their cause.- Mood:

It got bad enough for me to try some of that multi-function cold medication everyone uses. Interesting stuff. It does reduce the symptoms, but it also produces an odd, dreamlike state which helps me better understand some of the behaviour at Woodstock. Inanimate objects become fascinating. The keyboard is, even now, doing a little dance for me. I just spent several minutes reading the label on a can of shaving gel, because something written on there seemed incredibly funny. I was going to come tell you about the funny thing on the can, but now I can't remember what it was. Maybe I should go lie down again.
I know very, very little about wine( It's a beverage of some kind, right? )
