Odebrecht selling 55 percent stake in $5 billion natgas Peru pipeline
April 25, 2016 latinbusinessdata	Leave a comment
Odebrecht SA, the engineering company at the center of a massive graft probe in Brazil, is selling its 55 percent stake in a $5 billion natural gas pipeline project in Peru, the pipeline manager told Reuters on Friday.
David San Frutos said international creditors interested in financing $4.1 billion of the project had asked that it have no links to Odebrecht or the corruption probe in Brazil, known as "Operation Car Wash."
Spanish utility Enagas SA, which now controls 25 percent of the project, is interested in buying 6 percent of Odebrecht's stake, said San Frutos, who heads Enagas' Peru unit.
"The remaining 49 percent will be acquired by another company or other companies" but must be approved by both Enagas and the project's other junior partner Grana y Montero SAA, San Frutos said in an email.
Odebrecht Latinvest, the company's investment unit for Latin America, said in a statement that it was evaluating proposals and declined further comment.
Enagas and Grana y Montero, which owns 20 percent in the pipeline concession, took over management of the project last month to distance it from the probe in neighboring Brazil, where the former head of Odebrecht has been convicted of bribery, money laundering and organized crime.
Odebrecht is selling billions in global assets, including a hydroelectric dam and a road concession in Peru, to raise capital as it grapples with rising debt in the wake of the corruption scandal, its chief executive told Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo in an interview published April 1.

Brazil's Oi starts $14.3 billion bond restructuring talks

Oi SA on Monday formally started talks to restructure $14.3 billion of bonds, pitting some of the world's biggest investors against each other as Brazil's most-indebted phone carrier fights for its survival.
In a securities filing, Oi said a group of bondholders that have Moelis & Co as their advisor signed a non-disclosure agreement to join talks. Reuters, citing sources, said the group of over 25 investment firms including BlackRock Inc, Citadel LLC and Pacific Investment Management Co, could sign the accord as early as Monday.
The decision to begin talks with the Moelis-advised group leaves unclear how, or whether, Oi will negotiate with other creditors such as hedge funds that have bought credit default swaps linked to Oi's bonds. The carrier wants to negotiate with bondholders who "care about the company's future," one of those sources told Reuters.
At stake is the fate of Oi, the byproduct of a state-sponsored merger eight years ago and the only Brazilian carrier controlled by domestic capital. Shareholders see a restructuring facilitating a potential takeover of Oi, which they say could help narrow the gap with rivals controlled by Spain's Telefónica SA and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim's América Móvil SAB
Brazil's Vice President aims at more market-friendly policies
Brazil's Vice President Michel Temer arrives at news conference in Brasilia, Brazil April 11, 2016.
The rebalancing of Brazil's depleted public accounts would be done gradually and accompanied with policies that create jobs and raise income under a possible government of Vice President Michel Temer, his top economic adviser told Reuters on Wednesday.
Temer could become Brazil's next leader in coming weeks as a growing number of disgruntled lawmakers move quickly to impeach leftist President Dilma Rousseff over accusations she broke budget laws.
Wellington Moreira Franco, a confidant of the vice president and coordinator of his party's economic plan, said the biggest challenge of a Temer administration would be to shore up the country's finances.
"That fiscal rebalancing will have to be accompanied with incentives to generate jobs and raise income," said Franco in the offices of Temer's Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) in Congress. "It has to be a gradual adjustment … if not you risk suffocating the population."

Brazil's worsening crisis to drag on Latin America's growth: IMF
A prolonged recession in Brazil fanned by political turmoil will drag on economic growth for the next two years in Latin America, a region already reeling from falling commodity prices, the International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday.
In its World Economic Outlook, the IMF revised its 2016 recession estimate for the region to 0.5 percent from 0.3 percent. It would be Latin America's second straight year of contraction and the worst performance of any region – including the slow-recovering Euro area.
Although the IMF expects most of the region's economies to pick up steam in 2017, growth will remain moderate given the impact of what could be Brazil's worst recession in more than a century.
The Fund sees Latin America growing 1.5 percent in 2017.
The worsening political crisis that could oust leftist President Dilma Rousseff in the coming weeks has thrown Brazil further into chaos by slashing investment and consumer spending in what was until a few years ago an emerging success story.
Brazil's Itaú eyeing Citigroup's Latin America assets
April 8, 2016 latinbusinessdata	Leave a comment
Itaú Unibanco Holding SA is interested in assets that Citigroup Inc has put up for sale in Latin America, as Brazil's largest bank by market value seeks opportunities to expand beyond its home turf, a senior executive said on Thursday.
Any assets that Itaú could analyze for potential purchase are outside Brazil, said Ricardo Villela Marino, senior vice president in charge of Latin American operations.
Marino, who is a member of one of the families that control the São Paulo-based bank, said the bank has not entered into negotiations for any of those assets.
"We'll take a look at every unit they put up for sale" excluding Brazil, Marino told reporters on the sidelines of an event in São Paulo.
Itaú is aiming for its operations outside Brazil to account for almost 20 percent of its total revenue by the end of the decade, up from less than 15 percent now, as part of a strategy to diversify from the recession-stricken nation.

Odebrecht SA, Latin America's largest engineering company, hopes to renegotiate as much as 35 billion reais ($9.83 billion) in debt with Brazilian banks in order to get through a financial crisis sparked by its involvement in the country's biggest-ever graft probe, according to the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.
The company, whose chief executive and grandson of its founder received a 19-year sentence from the court handling the probe last month, seeks an "ambitious" agreement with the banks to restructure its debts and free up liquidity, the paper said Saturday, without citing sources for its information.
Brazil's Petrobras to axe 12,000 jobs
Brazil's state-run oil producer, Petrobras, has said it will cut 12,000 jobs by 2020. The voluntary layoff programme will help save $9bn at the company, which has struggled with losses following a price-fixing and bribery scandal.
It has also been hit by the global slump in the price of oil.
Petrobras, which has reported losses for the last two financial years, is expected to spend $1.23bn on implementing the job cuts plan.
Petrobras has long been one of the biggest employers in Brazil, with more than 80,000 employees.
However, it has seen its business hit by the huge falls in oil prices globally and one of the biggest corruption scandals in the country's history, which has gone to the heart of the country's government.
The announcement that 12,000 jobs are to be cut over the next five years is part of a investment plan to turn around the company's fortunes.

Brazil's largest party will decide on Tuesday to break away from President Dilma Rousseff's floundering coalition, party leaders said, sharply raising the odds that the country's first woman president will be impeached amid a corruption scandal.

Economists Reduce Brazil GDP Outlook For 2016 and 2017
Economists reduced once again their outlook on Brazil's economic performance for this year and next year, underscoring a prolonged recession of Latin America's largest economy.
Brazil's gross domestic product is expected to shrink 3.66% this year, according to a weekly central-bank survey of 100 economists, compared with expectations a week ago for a 3.60% contraction. This marked the tenth-consecutive downward revision. For 2017, economists reduced their view of the country's economy expansion to 0.35% from 0.44%.

Argentina, Brazil
Argentina Is Now More Politically Stable Than Brazil

Argentina versus Brazil. It's bigger than the Red Sox versus the Yankees. The Patriots versus, well, the NFL. ManU versus Arsenal. Who is better Pele or Maradona? If they represented a country's government, then it's Maradona today. With Cristina Kirchner no longer in power, businessman and new president Mauricio Macri now trumps Brazil's president Dilma Rousseff. The market has decided that Argentina is better.
"We find greater reason for optimism there," says Craig Botham, emerging markets economist at Schroders in London. He says that, oddly enough, Argentina is further along the "reform path" even though Macri just took over in January. "The new government has an ambitious and wide ranging reform platform, and a popular mandate to back it," Botham says. "Progress has already been made on the issue of the bond holdouts, and the legislation received support across the (political) spectrum. Fiscal and inflation targets are next, and to us they strike the right balance between bold and credible. Officials are frank, but confident about the challenges they face."

Texas has been an economic juggernaut during the past decade. Between 2004 and 2013, the Lone Star state was responsible for one out of every three jobs created in the US.
Perhaps even more impressively, Texas avoided critical shortages of workers despite its spectacular economic performance. By investing in human capital at home and attracting talent from outside its borders, Texas provided new and expanding businesses with the workforce needed to compete globally. The state's community colleges have ramped up degree production to an unprecedented level. The number of associate degrees awarded in Texas increased 75 percent between 2004 and 2013. A simultaneous increase in awarded bachelor's and master's degrees was complemented by the state's unrivaled ability to attract skilled workers. In the past five years alone, more than 125,000 college-educated individuals have moved to Texas on a net basis – more than any other state.
As any business executive knows, however, past success is no guarantee of future performance. Signs of trouble are beginning to emerge. In December, the Federal Reserve in Dallas reported companies in industries as varied as construction, energy, financial services, and law "continue to note difficulty in finding skilled workers." By February 2015, the state's already low unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent, a level unseen in seven years.
The state's workforce is among the country's youngest. Texas, however, cannot entirely escape the greying of America. With the youngest Baby Boomers turning 50 last year, the generation that once proclaimed "never trust anyone over 30" is starting to face retirement. Texas manufacturers are likely to experience the most immediate shortages. In sectors such as aerospace, chemicals, and petroleum production, more 25 percent of all workers are 55 years or older. Potential workforce shortages could also extend to many professional services fields. In areas such as architecture, engineering and law, more than 20 percent of all workers are 55 years or older. In addition to normal worker attrition, many firms will soon face the possibility of losing a quarter of their workforce, including some of their most experienced professionals.
While there is debate about the existence of a pervasive skills gap in Texas, there are notable shortages in some specific fields. Take the much-discussed demand for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) talent. During the past decade, the number of mathematics and statistics degrees awarded in Texas rose less than 15 percent. During this period, the number of computer and math jobs in Texas increased nearly 45 percent. The result is full employment for computer and math talent. (The current unemployment rate for computer and math occupations in Texas is just 2.2 percent.) With an unemployment rate of only two percent, the labor market for architecture and engineering occupations in Texas is even tighter.
Due to a tight labor market, retiring baby boomers, and shortages of certain skillsets, the ability of Texas businesses to find ample qualified workers could be tested in the upcoming years. Failure to adequately prepare for this emerging reality will limit the capacity of Texas businesses to grow and also put upward pressure on wages.
What Texas Executives Can Do
While educators and state policy makers must do some heavy lifting to increase the supply of qualified workers, industry leaders have a role to play as well.
1) Share information about hiring needs with educators. If the business is experiencing a workforce shortage, or predicts that it will in upcoming years, ask the industry trade association to survey and quantify skills gaps. Outsource the research to a third party research firm to ensure confidentiality. With a strong baseline of research – using numbers not rhetoric –there will be a powerful advocacy tool that will help area educators and policy makers make much more informed decisions.
2) Promote career opportunities in the industry. Despite a projected shortage of millions of workers over the next decade, younger Americans are disinterested in certain types of jobs, particularly those in manufacturing. According to a recently released survey by Deloitte, Generation Y respondents ranked manufacturing dead last among seven industries as a possible career choice. Manufacturing's lack of appeal is often based on outdated stereotypes as a dirty and declining industry. In contrast, U.S. manufacturing today is innovative and vibrant. Between 2010 and 2013, Texas manufacturing jobs grew at a faster rate than retail employment. The average annual manufacturing wage in Texas is approximately $68,000, or $40,000 more than retail. Would young people have such a dim view of manufacturing if they knew the facts? Exposing young adults to career opportunities though communications campaigns, apprenticeships, internships, and on-site tours will ultimately help broaden the state's talent pipeline.
3) Tap into state programs to make training more affordable. The cost of training employees can seem unwieldy for many businesses. The Texas Workforce Commission's Skills Development Fund helps companies defray those costs. The Fund provides grants to businesses that partner with a public community or technical college to create a customized training program for their employees. In 2014, the TWC funded 63 Skills Development Grants with an average award of $668,474. The TWC also offers special programs for small businesses and training veterans. Contact the regional Workforce Development Board or economic development organization for help with the application.
Don't Let Up
The future of Texas' economy looks bright. Despite increased competition for talent and jobs, the state's competitive position remains enviable. On average, more than 1,000 people move to the Lone Star State each day. Enrollment at Texas colleges and universities grows each year – more than one million residents between the ages 18 and 24 are currently enrolled in school. Despite these strengths, maintaining the state's hard-earned reputation as one of the country's best places to do business depends on ensuring Texans possess skills that are aligned with the needs of employers. Employers should participate in conversations with educators, advocate for more state investment in education and training, and build awareness of career opportunities among young people. As a Texas executive, play that critical role in bridging the skills gap.

My poor 7-year-old Tortie has horrible breath. Every year when I take her to the vet for her checkup and shots, he breaks tarter off of her teeth. Within a month, it's back.
She eats dry hard food, with some soft snacks daily, but she has never chewed her food. I've tried Science Diet t/d and she swallowed it whole. I feel like it hurts her to chew.
My question is would a product like PetzLife or PlaqueOff help her? Has anyone out there used these products for their cat's teeth?
My vet doesn't stress a dental cleaning like some vets do. I know she needs that done but the cost is unreal.
She loves to chew on the bottom hem of blue jeans. It seems to help relieve her possible pain, sort of like a baby teething.
Biotene water additive was recommended by my vet for my 4 year old cat that has gingivitis. It keeps plaque from building up on his teeth. Hes been using it for about a year and it has definitely helped. You may also consider brushing her teeth occasionally. It will take some time and practice but she may like the feeling of her gums being massaged to ease her pain. Some pet stores also carry toys made to help with dental distress.

Richard D. James is perhaps one of the most prolific and elusive electronic artists ever. His discography is so vast that other work is often mistaken for his. He's been around for decades, yet very little is known about how. Most importantly though, he like to mess with people.
In his somewhat short life, Jason Molina recorded a lot of music. In fact, as discussed in the podcast, he treated songwriting like a job, dedicating 8 hours a day to the craft. It completely explains why he was able to release something in the order of 16 albums and many EPs.
Mark and Weaver were fairly sure that Chris was trolling with this selection, but they couldn't be sure until they gave Moby's wacky, idiosyncratic fifth album 'Animal Rights' a spin. Results are...varied.

Clemson still has goals to play for
CLEMSON, S.C. -- The list of goals No. 8 Clemson hoped to achieve this season became shorter this past weekend.
That doesn't mean the Tigers don't have anything to play for and coach Dabo Swinney is pounding that message home.
CLEMSON 2013 SCHEDULE
Aug. 31 Georgia W, 38-35
Sept. 7 South Carolina State W, 52-13
Sept. 19 at NC State W, 26-14
Sept. 28 Wake Forest W, 56-7
Oct. 5 at Syracuse W, 49-14
Oct. 12 Boston College W, 24-14
Oct. 19 Florida State L, 51-14
Oct. 26 at Maryland W, 40-27
Nov. 2 at Virginia W, 59-10
Nov. 14 Georgia Tech 7:30 p.m. EST
Nov. 23 Citadel 12:00 p.m. EST
Nov. 30 at South Carolina TBA
Second-ranked Florida State wrapped up the Atlantic Coast Conference Atlantic Division and a spot in the league championship game, which took care of two of the five goals listed in the team meeting room.
Still, Swinney says the Tigers must stay locked onto what's ahead and not the lost opportunities.
They have already accomplished the first goal on the list, winning the season opener (a 38-35 victory against Georgia) and have two left: win the state championship against rival South Carolina and win a bowl game.
"We have to stay zoom focused on having the best-possible finish and creating the best postseason opportunity," Swinney said.
That starts Thursday night when Clemson (8-1, 6-1 ACC) closes the league season at home against Georgia Tech (6-3, 5-2).
The Yellow Jackets come into Death Valley atop the Coastal Division, one of four two-loss teams in that half of the league. A month ago, Clemson fans were hopeful of a national TV, division-clinching party at Georgia Tech's expense.
Those dreams were blown apart in the Tigers last home game as the Seminoles registered the most points ever scored by the visitors in a 51-14 Death Valley dismantling of Clemson. It is the second consecutive season that a loss to Florida State will keep Clemson out of the ACC championship game.
Swinney said the Tigers have rebounded well since the Oct. 19 defeat - "Heck, we've won two ball games since Florida State," he said - and won't be concerned with not getting a shot at the ACC title when they return home.
Defensive tackle DeShawn Williams expects a better effort out of the Tigers this week than last time at home.
"We're going to give the fans more than we did against Florida State," he said.
The Tigers had held out faint hopes of a Florida State stumble to open up a back door shot at the division title. But the Seminoles didn't slip, defeating North Carolina State, top-10 Miami and Wake Forest by a combined score of 149-34 top stay perfect in the ACC.
Quarterback Tajh Boyd said there's indeed disappointment at falling short at any of the five goals, but there is much left to accomplish. Winning the state championship against rival South Carolina and a bowl game could be daunting challenges.
The 11th-ranked Gamecocks hold a four-game win streak in a series Clemson had owned for several decades. Some bowl projections have Clemson as a BCS team in the Orange Bowl matched against high-speed Oregon.
Boyd said that's too much to worry about right now.
When Clemson coaches talk about playing to a standard, Boyd said it's really about what's the best you can do at the moment.
"Our best now is we can potentially be 11-1, or 12-1 with a bowl," Boyd said. "We just need to play to what we're capable of doing."
Should Clemson win out the regular season, it would make the first back-to-back 11-win seasons in program history.
"We all know what's at stake," Swinney said.
Clemson has had its struggles through the years with Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have won four of the past six games and ruined some of the Tigers' biggest chances at taking significant steps forward in football.
Georgia Tech topped the Tigers 21-17 in 2008, Swinney's first game at the team's coach. The next season, the Yellow Jackets defeated Clemson twice, including a 39-34 win in that season's ACC championship game.
In 2011, Georgia Tech ended Clemson's 8-0 start with a 31-17 victory. A win by the Yellow Jackets this season would also dampen much of the enthusiasm built up through the early part of the season.
"Y'all won't even remember that Georgia game," Swinney said, smiling.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson joked he might call on rival Georgia for a run-down of the Tigers. He believes his team has stood strong through the season to put itself in a position to challenge for the Coastal Division.
"We run the ball pretty good and defend the run pretty good. We've been in every game we've played. I think if we don't turn the ball over and don't commit a lot of penalties, we're a tough out," he said. "Will we win every game? I don't know. That's why you play."

Fashion Heroes: Katie Hillier + Luella Bartley for Marc By Marc Jacobs
April 10, 2015 / Rohai, The Scribe
Unless you have been living under a rock, you'd already know that Marc Jacobs has announced that he is discontinuing his diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs. According to industry trade journal Women's Wear Daily, rumors have swirled since before the New York collections about "possible changes at Marc Jacobs". It has now been confirmed that the sister line will be absorbed into the primary Marc Jacobs line.
While this news is shocking, it is not as shocking as the speculations on what will happen to the two star designers recently hired to front MbMJ. Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley were named creative directors at MbMJ late 2013. Their first collection, which was well-received by the media, was shown in February last year at New York Fashion Week.
But who are the creative directors that made MbMJ that much cooler than it already is?
Bartley and Hillier are great friends, and were introduced to one another in the late 1990s by uber-stylist Katie Grand. Within a week they were working together at the Luella label that Bartley founded in 1999.
According to Vogue.com, before Hillier was made creative director at MbMJ, she was a successful accessories designer and creative consultant who runs her own jewellery and accessories line, Hillier London. In 1999, she scored a job as Bartley's assistant.
She is often credited with helping to create the It-bag sensation, most notably with Luella's highly-decorated styles of the early Noughties. When she set up her design consultancy in 2004, Hillier made a name for herself as a pre-eminent accessory designer and creative consultant. These collaborations have included Victoria Beckham, Loewe, Stella McCartney and Giles Deacon. She also had a decade long collaboration with Marc Jacobs at Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Luella Bartley, on the other hand, started her career not as a designer but as a journalist, writing for Vogue, The Evening Standard, The Face and Dazed & Confused.
In 1999, she decided to launch her own label, Luella and the brand quickly became one of the British fashion industry's biggest success stories gaining major critical acclaim and a huge celebrity cult following.
American Vogue described her as, "a star…a poster child for London cool", whilst Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and Gwyneth Paltrow were frequently seen in her designs.
10 years into building a successful brand, Bartley fell victim to the economic recession 2009. Bartley made a surprising decision to cease trading and took a took a four-year hiatus from fashion.
Since leaving the Marc by Marc Jacobs brand, Hillier and Bartley has announced that they will launch their own luxury brand called Hillier Bartley. London's The Guardian reported that the first collection for Hillier Bartley will debut in shops in August. While no images have been released so far, a press release has been sent out, stating that the clothes uses "classic English references and has a masculine elegance".
If Marc had accessible price points, this may be more high end. Manufactured in the UK, they will be using Savile Row fabrics, while bags are produced in Italy.
Because of the duo's impeccable chemistry and judging from how well-received their collections for MbMJ were, it is without a doubt that this new luxury brand will be a force to be reckoned with. It can be assumed that the label will have a more youthful vibe ala Bartley's own label as well as the MbMJ label.
We really can't wait to preview the new line. Watch this space as we bring you more updates as they come!

EDF Energy to Buy Electricity from Tidal Energy's DeltaStream Device
Date: Wednesday, October 08, 2014 @ 08:10:00 EDT
Topic: OFFSHORE NEWS
Tidal Energy Ltd, the developer of DeltaStream, Wales' first full-scale tidal power generator, has announced an important deal with EDF Energy, marking a significant milestone in the commercial development of tidal power in the UK.
DeltaStream will be amongst the world's first grid-connected demonstration devices to generate green, sustainable and predictable tidal power. The device, developed by tidal stream technology company Tidal Energy Ltd (TEL), was unveiled in August at Pembroke Port by The First Minister of Wales, the Rt. Hon. Carwyn Jones AM. It will be installed in Ramsey Sound, Pembrokeshire, and is expected to begin generating electricity for Welsh homes shortly afterwards.
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) announced guarantees that EDF Energy, the UK's largest producer of low carbon electricity, will purchase electricity and renewable certificates from the device for the first year of the project at a pre-agreed price, ensuring that it will be able to generate revenue for its owners, TEL, from both the electricity market and the Government's Renewables Obligation scheme. The Government has earmarked tidal power as a priority technology, allocating a subsidy of 5 'ROCs' for each unit of electricity generated, in order to fast-track its commercial development.
Power Purchase Agreements not only provide certainty of income for projects such as DeltaStream, but also provide a clear and useful benchmark of revenue for future investors and lenders. As such, the value of the contract to the DeltaStream project will extend well beyond its first year.
Martin Murphy, Managing Director of TEL, comments:
"DeltaStream is not just about proving a new, innovative technology – it is about proving that tidal power can make a real and lasting contribution towards the UK's renewable energy targets and energy security. Taking the first steps to commercialisation, by securing a buyer for the electricity generated, is essential to that. We are proud that this cutting-edge project is, once-again breaking new ground, and ensuring Wales is playing a central role in the race to develop the UK's significant tidal resources."
Chris Williams, Development Director at TEL, adds:
"The ability of any project to generate revenue is obviously key to its long-term commercial success. This contract will mean that DeltaStream will have guarantees around what price it will receive for the electricity it sells to the market. At the same time, the PPA represents the beginning of a long term relationship with EDF Energy who we are delighted to be working with."
Dan Brimelow, Export Sales and Procurement Manager at EDF Energy, said: "The UK needs electricity generation from a range of low carbon sources. Technologies like tidal power help improve the diversity of electricity supplies and reduce our reliance on imported energy which is good for the country's future energy security.
"By taking the time to understand Tidal Energy's plans, we structured a PPA that gives them the income certainty they need to satisfy investors, and also manages the risks around forecasting how much power they would produce."

My mom's here for the week hanging out with me (and doing dishes) while Lucas is in China. I've been spending my days jumping between meetings and stretches of dissertation writing, so when I popped over here to tell you about this Ginger Miso Acorn Squash dish, I was stumped. I turned to my mom for inspiration, "tell me a story mom." And that's when I realized, that was my story.
Disclosure: The SoyFoods Council and the Healthy Aperture Network sponsored this post as part of their '#SoyInspired Thanksgiving' campaign. Please rest-assured that all opinions expressed here are 100% my own.
Whenever I had trouble falling asleep as a kid (which was basically every night because I've always been a night owl), my mom would come lay next to me. And every single night, I'd request, "tell me a story about when you were a little girl." Not, "read this book to me." No, I was an exhausting child and I demanded that she come up with an original story about some time in her life over 30 years ago and then recount it in vivid detail when I'm sure all she really wanted to do was go to sleep herself.
And she'd do it, telling me stories about walking up and down the street with a wagon full of cans pretending to sell paint, her sassooon boy hair cut, and how she got that scar on her knee while playing in a well…until I fell asleep. She has an impressive memory (except when it comes to what movies she's already seen – in which case, she'll accidentally rent the same movie twice on accident).
If my future kids ever ask for stories about when I was a little girl, I'm just going to pull up my blog and read posts as though they're picture books. Straight through to the recipe. They'll know how to sight-read "teaspoon" first.
Growing up, we didn't eat a whole lot of winter squash in our house. Things were mostly restricted to pumpkin purée and the occasional butternut or spaghetti squash. Which is a shame, because it's simple to roast into a buttery soft side dish that's both sweet and nutty.
Plus, the acorn squash looks so frilly and dainty with its scalloped edges that I'm pretty sure it's the most charming vegetable side dish at the party.
With my brother eating vegan for health reasons for many years, my family has always been heavy-handed on the soy for Thanksgiving. We made our spinach artichoke dip with soy cream cheese, the bean dip with soy sour cream, and a plump tofurky sat next to our giant golden bird.
This year, I'm adding soy to the menu in a slightly non-traditional way by mixing miso with fresh ginger and brushing it over crisped oven-roasted acorn squash. This silky smooth squash has a robust savory flavor infused from roasting until it begins to brown. Ginger miso glaze brings out the sweetness while adding a bit of spice, and the toasted pistachios complement the salty and sweet elements to round out the dish.
This is a Thanksgiving side that stands on its own – it definitely won't get forgotten among all the traditional staples.
Are you sticking with the classics or mixing things up for your Thanksgiving feast this year?
Arrange the cut acorn squash on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Brush both sides of the cut squash with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the squash every 10 minutes, until nearly soft when pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, whisk together the mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, sesame oil, tamari sauce, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-low heat.
Whisk the water and miso together in a small bowl and add it to the saucepan. Cook for 1 minute longer, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
When the squash is nearly cooked through, brush the sauce over the top of each cut squash.
Place the squash under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until it just begins to brown.
Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle the toasted pistachios and sesame seeds over the top.
Eating the skin is optional - some find it adds the right crunch to contrast the smooth center while others think it's too tough. Either way, I like to keep it on while roasting to help hold its shape, and it's really easy to only eat the soft orange flesh by just scraping it from the skin with a fork.
Sarah, oh my gawd, this is so beautiful!!! love the ginger miso!! Wow, what a stunning dish for the Thanksgiving table. . love this!!! And I have to lie down with my youngest so she can fall asleep . . and then I go back to my bed. . so tiring but I don't mind doing it. :) Your mom sounds awesome!
I mean, at least she loves to snuggle, right? Eventually my mom started putting a sleeping bag next to their bed so I could crawl in there in the middle of the night when I got "scared"…or really whenever I woke up and it was still dark out. Which was also every single night. Haha. (She is pretty awesome:) Thank you so much, Alice!
Beautiful dish! I will be trying this side dish very soon! If your future kids are anything like your handsome Hubby they will be wanting a bedtime story and being tucked in like a little taco! Ask Lucas what this means! Dad read the bedtime story while Mom put her feet up with a cup of tea!
Haha – cute. I hope you do make this and love it! I bet Roy would enjoy it!
Awwww, I LOVE mom stories! I did the same thing when I was little. I was intoxicated with hearing about my mom's childhood. And somehow, she was always able to come up with a different story. My mom is coming to visit me next week. All these twinsie things!
Right? I have no idea how she came up with so many stories! I just asked her again last night to remind me about a story she told me about when she was a little girl and she spouted off THREE new ones! I hope you have just as much fun with your mom!
Yay for visitors! I'm not sure what is on the menu for Thanksgiving this year. I'm leaving that up to my husband's parents, because we're going down to San Diego to visit them for the holiday. These sure look tasty!
all about this dish my friend! i have a recipe in the book miso glazed delicata and it is one of my favorites. and happy day that your mom is there!
Woah! I haven't even SEEN the inside of your book yet (promise I didn't mean to copy you:) Operative word is "yet" though, because really, there needs to be more of your squash recipes in my life.
Do you remember the nana & papa stories I used to tell you?
I can't wait to try this recipe! You're right, these do look charming & the recipe sounds delicious!!
See! you're such a great story teller, even adding sound effects. :) Thanks, mom!
I loved hearing stories about my parents when I was little. Better than any storybook in my room. You write so beautifully, I'm sure you're going to have the greatest stories to tell your little ones someday. I am loving this acorn squash recipe! The ginger miso glaze sounds just delicious. It really is the frilliest vegetable with it's pretty shape, so true!
Oh my gosh, this sounds SO. GOOD. I'm so with you on the scalloped edges — between that and how cute and mini they are, acorn squashes are my loves. And I love your story about your mom (I feel you on getting stumped on what to write..oy) and I second other comments… your writing is beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing, Sarah!!
I feel like I could write a love story to the acorn squash – I love it inside and out:) Thank you so much, Cynthia! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who occasionally is as a loss for words (I actually keep a document of "writing inspiration" that I add little anecdotes to when they come up…for days when I can't think of something to write!).
Lol I can't wait to see you bust out your phone at bedtime to read from your blog. That's a fabulous idea and I should totally do it. Love this squash! Perfect for T-day!
"They'll know how to sight-read "teaspoon" first"…. hahahaha that was SO funny! And this recipe…. so glad you are a fan of acorn squash. I love it too! Never thought of using pistachios… such a great idea Sarah!
Thanks, Chris! I bet your kids will sight-read "teaspoon" first too. Or bacon. Mmmmmmmmmmm bacon.
Also- this recipe is a showstopper! Look how GORGEOUS it is! Almost too pretty to eat. ALMOST.
No she didn't. I don't believe you. Thanks, lady!
always looking for recipes to make different kinds of squash. nice!
Oh MY! What a gorgeous side dish – and with pistachios too! You are making my mouth water!
I just tried acorn squash for the first time, and now I am obsessed! Loving the miso addition here! Pinned!
Me too! It's a new vegetable added to the rotation and I LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing it, Taylor!
I love that story! To help me go to sleep I would have my Mom scratch my back. Now my husband gets the luxury of that ;) But I have only had acorn squash I think once but I am loving the flavors here. Definitely adding to our menu soon!!
Haha I just made Lucas do that last night when I couldn't sleep. The problem was that he was almost asleep so it mostly just felt like a weird blob on my back. I hope you try this and love it!
What a healthy and flavorful side dish! This would be beautiful on our Thanksgiving table. Enjoy your visit with your mom!
Gorgeous! This would be beautiful on a Thanksgiving table!
Haha – do it! I think we should make this a thing so all the kids at school are like "oh, my mom was reading a story from her blog the other day…" and that'd totally be a normal thing to say.
What a gorgeous side, Sarah! And can I tell you that I'm totally loving that flatware as well?
Ah – Thank you! It was a wedding gift from my great aunt – I think Bed Bath and Beyond, maybe? Anyway – they do make the dish feel more fancy, don't they?
Looks like a perfect Thanksgiving side dish for next week! Can't wait to try these great flavors!
Sarah, this looks insanely delicious! I LOVE acorn squash. It may just be my fave squash! The pistachios are genius!
You have such a sweet mama to tell you stories every night! I have a terrible memory and am not that creative, so when my boys want me to freestyle a story, I fail pretty miserably. Reading from my blog is not a bad idea!
This side dish is like none I've seen before, but I would love to try it! The squash looks beautiful, and the flavor combination sounds amazing.
Ha – I think that'll be me too: "Um….did I tell you about the one time that I..umm….made chocolate chip cookies? That's it. That's all that happened." I hope you do get to try it – Thank you so much, Andi!
Aaaw, your mom is the sweetest! I used to do the same thing to my mom too and now my son does that to me. I am not as creative as either of our moms and my stories all end up being almost the same haha. This acorn squash is just gorgeous! I love the miso ginger and can't wait to try this. It sounds incredible! Pinning!
Haha – their little minds probably think it's all so magical just the same. Thanks for sharing it, Kelly!
What a gorgeous dish Sarah! I bet it's just bursting with yumminess. "Charming" << YES! And I'm so glad you're having fun with your mom :) Pinned!
Hehe – I choose only food that's charming;) Thanks for sharing it, Trish!
It looks so cute and yummy !
The flavors profile in this dish sounds simply wonderful. The squash looks delish.
Moms are the bomb! That's awesome you get to spend some quality time with your mom, and she sounds like one awesome lady! Skinned kneed and boy hair cut? I bet I'd have a ball chit chatting with her! This acorn squash looks amaaaaaazing!! Perfect for this time of year, and it'd make an excellent Thanksgiving side for sure!
Aw – my mom is so great to chit chat with! Especially over a glass or two of wine;) Thanks, Julia!
I love storytime! I think every roommate I've ever had, had to deal with talking to me until I fell asleep.
This dish is GORGEOUS! It looks pretty, sounds pretty, and I want it in my belly. Happy Thanksgiving!
Blush – you're too sweet! I agree though – my mom is a pretty neat lady:) I hope you had a super delicious Thanksgiving with your family!
Bahaha – can you please tell stories about the Frog Monster on your blog?! I am sensing a guest appearance from your dad coming… Thanks for sharing it, Amy!
This looks absolutely lovely! I'm glad you had some mom time while Lucas was away!
Just made this recipe for dinner tonight; I think I ate an entire Acorn Squash to myself!! I was so happy to see an Acorn Squash recipe that wasn't just butter and brown sugar! Thank you! I may have to have this at least once a week! My mom, who isn't a very adventurous eater, also had rave reviews for this dish!!
How perfect! I'm obsessed with this recipe!

Underground Lives
Hestia is the main organisation supporting victims of modern slavery in London. We campaign and advocate for victims of modern slavery to ensure their voices are heard and they get the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Learn more about modern slavery
In 2017, Hestia released the first report in the 'Underground Lives' series to reveal the true face of modern slavery in London.
Since then, we have released six more Underground Lives reports, below, each highlighting the shocking and unique realities faced by specific victims of modern slavery, including male victims and pregnant victims.
Most recently, we focused on the intergenerational impact of modern slavery, exploring how a mother's experience of modern slavery has a long-lasting impact on their children and can often lead to developmental delays and poor mental health.
"Modern Slavery is a cold, calculated and brutal business model in which people are deprived of liberty and then repeatedly raped, beaten and abused. It turns a profit on the back of other people's misery. It destroys the lives of its victims and is a shame to all of us in a modern society." - Patrick Ryan, CEO

Caroberta Woods, east of Francollarts.
Amadis de Trastamara obtained this property from Duchess Caroberta in recognition for his service to Toussaint. The ruler's gift came with an unexpected barb, however, for the house turned out to be haunted and, even worse, deep in tax arrears. Trastamara consulted the druids of Caed Myrkvid about his case and was given the following advice: if you cannot reach a deal with the specter, let it be and call it a day.
Outside on a bench, at the northern end of the main building: Soiled letter.
