I worship at the altar of <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/">Elena Amsterdam </a>. Her blog is fantastic for people who are Gluten Free, like me, and for those who aren't as well. Her cookbooks are my go to. I have come to believe that Hashimoto's Disease symptoms can be improved greatly by going gluten free. She has helped guide me on this new journey of healthy eating. And she has made it absolutely delish.<br />
<br />
I am quite thrilled to have made a variation of her <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/pumpkin-spice-muffins/">pumpkin spice muffins</a> this early am. The reason I am so thrilled is that I actually tried to tweak it- and it worked. She says you have to use real pumpkin meat- not canned, for her muffins to work. She was very specific in that. I decided to say "ah what the heck" and tried to do it with canned (organic) pumpkin and it worked. It not only worked it is one of the best batches of pumpkin muffins I've ever made and if you know my old wheat muffins you know that's saying something. Not only are they gluten free and delish but if you use coconut flour they are low on the glycemic index and low carb.<br />

What I did was double her <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/pumpkin-spice-muffins/">recipe</a>( I need 12 muffins not 6!) And add the tiniest bit of Pamela's Pancake and Muffin mix ( about 1/4 cup).<br />
<br />
Yum. Yum. Yum.<br />

I'm back in Assisi again for a two week writer's workshop at <a href="http://www.artworkshopintl.com/">Art Workshop International</a>.<br />
<br />

It was 10 years ago that I first heard of the workshop while daydreaming online of writing in a far off land. My kiddles were still living young and with me so there was no way I could tear away to the hillside dream town of Assisi for two weeks.....<br />
<br />
<br />
But now I can.<br />

I've been MIA for awhile now.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm nursing a bad cold and decided to make some homemade....well sorta... tomato soup.<br />
It was Fantastic.....<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d1WKnpWoS68/Tza9xr098pI/AAAAAAAABfo/RoMIU55yMfU/s1600/images-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d1WKnpWoS68/Tza9xr098pI/AAAAAAAABfo/RoMIU55yMfU/s200/images-1.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
SORTA HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP<br />
<br />
~1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce ( I used Giada De Laurentiis from Target- voted #1 in a nation-wide taste test) <br />
~fresh herbs ( I used oregeno and basil)<br />
~ 1 tbs. butter<br />
~2 cups water<br />
~1/2 cup cream( I used half and half)<br />
<br />
<br />
Saute the herbs in the butter for a nanno second. Add the jar of sauce, the water, the cream and let simmer for 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
You're done.<br />
<br />
It tastes just like Nonna used to make.<br />

Want to listen to an audio book while you drive, garden, walk, iron, wash the dishes and so on and so forth???<br />
<br />
A sure bet is ANYTHING performed by <a href="http://www.audiofilemagazine.com/gvpages/a1521.shtml">Jeff Woodman</a>. I have learned through trial and error that just because a book is a best seller and everyone LOVES it, it can be a total bust if read by someone who is a dud.<br />
<br />
Jeff Woodman is NO dud.<br />
<br />
I have been thoroughly engrossed by his readings of -<br />
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close<br />
The Life of Pi<br />
The Curious Event of The Dog in Night Time<br />
Midnight In The Garden of Good And Evil<br />
<br />
He is a Master of Accents-from the voice of a child to Southern gentleman, Indian, English- you name it, he does it - and he does it most excellently. And his interreation of a woman's voice- always tricky when read by a male- is completely unoffensive. It's too bad he did not read The DaVinci Code , the all time worst book I have ever heard on tape.I am looking forward to listening to The Air We Breathe, all about TB in pre World War U.S.A., if only because he is the reader. I encourage anyone to buy ANYTHING he has read. You will not be disappointed.<br />

<br />
I know. It's 9 years old. <br />
<br />
I had been racking my brain trying to remember why on earth I didn't watch it when it first came out. I am a World War II buff and to this day my trip to Normandy has been the most moving experience of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
After some thinking and research, I figured it out.<br />
<br />
It premiered on September 9th of 2001. For some reason I missed the first episode. There was no Tivo in 2001. But I know it was on my radar and I was going to catch a repeat of the episode later in that week. But then the world we lived in changed two days later.<br />
<br />
I tried watching an episode a few weeks later. I couldn't do it. The pain of 9/11 was too real and watching it was unbearable to me. I remember not being able to comprehend how HBO could still show the series. They did in fact stop promoting it after 9/11 but it continued to do well. And I can understand why.<br />
<br />
It is the finest series I have ever seen. Everything about it is excellellent- from the acting, writing, set design, cinematography, editing and the hautingly beautiful music. <br />
<br />
This series honors those brave men who served during that war. But it also honors all men and women who have served and who are serving today.<br />
<br />
The producers newest series, THE PACIFIC is now showing on HBO. I am anticipating the same excellence from that. <br />
<br />
So if you want to watch something that <i>really</i> has meaning- turn off The real Housewives of Whatever and turn on BAND OF BROTHERS or THE PACIFIC.Kasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17912426511911903309noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993661719321178816.post-67925672690913496882010-03-13T15:14:00.001-05:002010-03-13T15:15:04.211-05:00Give Me Liberty or Give Me.....I am counting down the hours till LIBERTY OF LONDON for TARGET begins.<br />

Masterpiece, as it is now called, began in 1971. It was a show we watched as family every Sunday night. I looked forward to hearing Alistair Cooke introduce with British elegance, each and every episode.And how bout that theme song??<br />

I grew up mesmerized with <b>THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY THE 8TH ,ELIZABETH R</b> and <b>I CLAUDIUS</b>.<br />
More recently I have been addicted to <b>THE FORSYTHE SAGA</b> and enthralled with the <b>THE LOST PRINCE</b>,the heartbreaking true story of Prince John, the child of King George V of England and Queen Mary.<br />
<br />

I had the misfortune of missing the first of 3 episodes ...<br />
<br />
<br />
But as luck would have it... one can watch it on PBS right <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/emma/watch.html">HERE</a><br />
which I plan on doing today so I will be all caught up for the second installment in the three part series.<br />
<br />
Laura Linney is the new Alistair Cooke and she does a fantastic job introducing the adaptations.<br />
<br />
I loved ever so much last year's <b>LITTLE DORRIT</b>-and one of the best parts of each show was hearing tidbits about the corelation between LITTLE DORRIT and Dickens' real life, as told by Ms. Linney.<br />
<br />
I have got the Tivo set for recording a Season Pass for all of this year's<br />
"Masterpiece" which has some fine show's coming up.... <br />
<b><br />
"The 39 Steps</b><br />
Secret agent Richard Hannay battles German spies on the eve of World War I in a riveting and romantic new version of the classic thriller by John Buchan, made famous in Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 movie. Masterpiece favorite Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion) stars as Hannay.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
Sharpe's Challenge</b><br />
In 1817, soldier-adventurer Richard Sharpe comes out of retirement to quash a rebellion in British India and rescue his old friend. Sean Bean returns as the swashbuckling hero of this legendary series based on the novels of Bernard Cornwell. Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi guest stars.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
Sharpe's Peril</b><br />
The thrilling adventures of Colonel Richard Sharpe continue as he leads a ragtag party of civilians and soldiers across India, with the murderous army of an opium lord in hot pursuit. Daragh O'Malley stars as Sharpe's comrade-in-arms, Sergeant Major Patrick Harper.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
The Diary of Anne Frank</b><br />
The most accurate adaptation of Anne Frank's account of life hiding from the Nazis stars Ellie Kendrick as a maturing teenager who undergoes an extraordinary ordeal. Iain Glen, Tamsin Greig and Felicity Jones also star. The Diary of Anne Frank airs on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2010.<br />
<br />
<b><br />
Small Island</b><br />
The saga of two couples — one Jamaican, one English — whose lives intertwine in both friendship and tragic misunderstanding in post-World-War-II Britain. Naomie Harris and David Oyelowo star as the Jamaican immigrants, with Ruth Wilson and Benedict Cumberbatch as their English landlords."

It can be rented on iTunes. It is at times hard to watch- but not impossible.It is moving, suspenseful, enthralling and even uplifting.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The man behind Flipper, <a href="http://dolphinproject.org">Rick O'Barry</a>, has dedicated his life to saving them. He feels responsible for what has happened to dolphins because of the success of Flipper.<br />
<br />
This movie is remarkable. The movie brought home to me how beautiful nature is, how much we humans have done to destroy it and how much we need to do to try to rectify it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I feel SO guilty now for ever having swam with dolphins at a resort hotel.<br />
I will NEVER go to Sea World again.<br />
<br />
<br />
To honor them-watch the movie.<br />
And watch till the very very end- there is a snippet there that will make you smile BIG..<br />
<br />
This movie is OSCAR worthy. I sure hope it wins.Kasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17912426511911903309noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993661719321178816.post-90635457863647234722009-12-31T09:07:00.001-05:002009-12-31T09:07:00.513-05:00Farewell 2009... and Happy Happy<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qRfEKZUNl3A&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qRfEKZUNl3A&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Kasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17912426511911903309noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993661719321178816.post-52823351064029993812009-12-27T07:03:00.001-05:002009-12-27T07:03:00.144-05:00Chrsirtmas Creche Week- ReduxThis is my smallest Creche.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_js7pvrSpQHs/SUlhIPpsMSI/AAAAAAAAArw/yFEmM4FK6pY/s1600-h/DSC00249.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_js7pvrSpQHs/SUlhIPpsMSI/AAAAAAAAArw/yFEmM4FK6pY/s320/DSC00249.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280858832336859426" /></a><br />

Technically it's not a "creche" because the Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph aren't there. But I am thinking they are just off to the side greeting the Three Wise Men.<br />
I just love my babies Creche.<br />

This one is from my sister friend Teresa.I think it is from the 1950's. It is a light! How beautiful. The colors jump out at you. <br />

Christmas has always been special to my husband and me. He presented me with my engagement ring on Christmas Eve.<br />
<br />
This is my very first creche.<br />

to the creche in 1991 when my oldest gave it to me as a Christmas present saying- "from your little angel" . It is one of my most cherished possessions.

<br />
Out of the eight creches that I own- I have bought not a one!Lucky me.It makes them all that much more special.<br />
<br />
This Creche was given to me by Anne.<br />
<br />
From County Sligo.<br />
<br />
She lived with us and helped me raise my babies. She is part of the family and always will be .<br />
<br />
She was my friend, my sister, my life support.<br />
<br />
We do not see each other very often-she has her own babies now that are growing big and strong.But she is always in my heart.<br />
<br />
I love this creche.<br />
<br />
It is very delicate.<br />
<br />
And when you put a tea light behind it - it gives off a holy glow- like a halo. Just like the one above Anne's head.Kasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17912426511911903309noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993661719321178816.post-39221438810793824632009-12-15T09:35:00.008-05:002009-12-15T09:35:00.775-05:00Team.......<strike><object height="385" width="640"> TWILIGHT</object></strike><br />

<br />
I am STILL hobbling around.<br />
<br />
Friends whom I didn't mention by name...<br />
<br />

Well, she has mentioned mine so now I'll mention hers... Martha..<br />
<br />
Yes, that Martha!<br />
<br />
You can click <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/">HERE</a> to read all about it and see pics of the absolutely PERFECT day.. She was the BEST hostess of course and soooo fun to be with. It was a truly "Good Thing".<br />

My truly <i>SuperCalaFranchaListicExbeAlaDocious</i> day was all due to my effervescent friend Muffin. She's the best!<br />

Which means so much to do, so little time...<br />
For those of you that live in the New York Suburbs- give yourself a gift and go to the Christmas show that <i>Sloan Wainwright and Friends</i> puts on every season . It is something I look forward to every year and it is something NOT to be missed. It's held in the <i>perfect for Christmas </i> Presbyterian Church on the Village Green in Bedford. The accoustics are great and it's so home spun- like a Little House On The Prairie Christmas with fantastic singers. Sloan manages to bring down the house every year with her powerful voice. Her outrageously talented family members all add their own magic touch.<br />

<br />
I will be regretting that I'm not having Jasmine Green tea with a teaspoon of honey to help rev up my metabolism from the incredible scones I have baked for the event..<br />
<br />
Maple Walnut Scones<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Yield 12-15 scones<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">4 1/2 cups unbleached flour<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1/4 cup sugar<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">2 tsp baking powder<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1/2 tsp baking soda<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1/2 lb butter-cubed<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1 cup buttermilk<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1/2 cup maple syrup<br />
1 cup chopped walnuts<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">1 beaten egg(used for "painting" tops)<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">In large bowl,sift together the flour,sugar,baking powder and baking soda with a wooden spoon. Cut butter with pastry cutter until mixture is well combined.<br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">It will have a course texture. In a small bowl,whisk together the buttermilk,syrup,and walnuts. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and combine well. Add additional flour if dough is too sticky. Roll out to 1" thick on floured surface and cut into circles using a 3" cutter or an upside down glass. Re-roll dough as necessary. Place scones on well greased cookie sheet. Brush each with beaten egg. Bake at 400 f for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. I always make a double batch and freeze one. They are THAT GOOD....Enjoy!!<br />
</div><br />
<br />
....from the Bakers Cafe Cookbook...which is filled with recipes from a wonderfully spectacular bakery/restaurant in Katonah NY which is now no longer there. I will continue to mourn its closing till <a href="http://sloanwainwright.com/">Sloan Wainwright</a>, if ever, decides to open a new place.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On top of my scones will be clotted cream...<br />
I could never have a scone without Clotted Cream and Jam.<br />
<br />

</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Then of course my sister Maggie will be making her very special tuna fish salad for the tea sandwiches.<br />
<br />
I am hoping Mr. Toast will also have cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, salad sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches as well....<br />
<br />

</div>Please check out the site <a href="http://www.hekimaplace.org/">HEKIMA PLACE </a>, a wonderful place for girls to have a home and education. It is located in Karen, a suburg of Nairobi..Karen is named for Isak Dinesen, who wrote Out Of Africa and lived there for many years. I have been to Hekima Place- it's a happy nurturing home where they have warm tea and milk with breakafst lunch and dinner ...5 of the girls there came from the slums of Kibera nearby, where the organization, <a href="http://www.facesofkibera.org/">Faces of Kibera</a> was able to hook up with Hekima Place and give them a safe, beautiful and loving home.<br />
<br />
<br />
So put on the kettle, put up your feet, sit by the fire and sip with me...<br />
