Opening Shots: Raising prices stirs backlash fears
By Bernie Pacyniak
When news reached my office regarding the Hershey price increase, subsequently followed by reports that Mars was going to bump up their prices as well, I could virtually see all the midsized wholesalers as well as mom-and-pop retailers cheering.
As those of you involved in producing sweet treats know, it's been rather hellish during the past two years dealing with ongoing price hikes in cocoa, corn sweeteners, sugar and nuts, not to mention the accompanying hikes in packaging, transportation and labor.
Many confectioners, including the big boys, have had to swallow those costs. In turn, management has turned to operations to squeeze out savings in order to maintain at least a livable margin on their products.
Just recently, Lindt & Sprüngli, the Swiss chocolate maker that most would say has helped establish the premium chocolate market in the United States, warned analysts and shareholders alike that challenging times lay ahead as a result of slower economic growth coupled with inflation.
Keep in mind that these warning are coming from a company that posted a 5% rise in first half net profits on 8% organic sales growth. In North and Latin America, Lindt's sales topped 12% growth.
Still, the company expressed caution that if a sluggish economy continues, particularly in the United States and Europe where the bulk of the Lindt's sales originate, consumer spending will be affected.
And although the premium chocolate sector tends to be more "recession-proof" than other segments, it is not inelastic, as evidenced by declines in seasonal sales. Even the organic food sector, which has been growing exponentially during the past years, has experienced a slow down based on pricing.
And while the drop-off in organic sales is not astronomical – say a few percentage points off on double-digit gains – what's troublesome is that the price hikes are preventing newcomers from purchasing organic foods.
The silver lining within the organic segment, however, is that operational costs are coming down, which – once commodity prices stabilize – should open up the segment to new consumers once again.
How does this trend impact confections? Well, every category and sub-category is slightly different; the only commonality being higher costs, and thus higher prices. This month's cover story on Primrose details how one company, seemingly pinned in by foreign competition and government sugar subsidies, has managed to not only survive but prosper.
Their formula involved a combination of risk-taking (in this case electing to produce some products in China and then eventually building a plant there), exploiting emerging niches, such as gift pack, sugar-free and nutraceutical segments and ongoing product innovation (such as the recently introduced caramel swirls in multiple flavor combinations).
None of this has been easy for Mark and Jeff Puch, the brothers heading up Primrose. As both can attest, this is not their grandfather's nor their father's marketplace. But as Mark Puch pointed out, it's an exciting environment, one that definitely keeps you on your toes.
Consequently, the company has also had to put in price increases to contend with their increased operational costs. And their customers will pass those along to consumers accordingly. Will this impact sales?
It's different in every category, but at the risk of sounding overly optimistic, I don't think so. I'm relatively confident that consumers will pay more for their confections, be they in everyday mainstream or super premium items. First, when surveyed against other higher costs that consumers must deal with, confections represent a relative minor blip in total expenditures.
Also, it's apparent to me that the bar has been raised in the United States regarding variety and quality in food. Yes, all of us occasionally settle for less, but we do appreciate best. This also applies to confections.
Maintaining product standards, even at the risk of rising prices, is paramount. Whatever options confectioners have, shortchanging on quality cannot ever be a consideration. As one of Chicagoland's clothing chain proclaims, their store is where the "educated consumer shops."
It also applies to candy; people know their treats. Give them what they deserve and more.
With more than 30 years experience in B-to-B reporting, writing and editing — the bulk of which was dedicated to covering the bakery, confectionery and snack industries — Pacyniak has chronicled changes within the food industry since the early 1980s. A Boston University journalism degree graduate, he worked for a variety of publications before joining BNP Media in 1994 as editor of Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery magazine. In 2001, he took over as editor-in-chief of Candy Industry until 2018.

Ronaldinho reacts to Brazil losing against Lionel Messi
Pavel I. Meda July 19, 2021 9:14 pm July 19, 20219:17 pm
During a public event on Monday, Ronaldinho reacted to his beloved Brazil losing against Lionel Messi during the Copa America final.
Ronaldinho's emotions were all over the place on the night his beloved Brazil played the Copa America final against Lionel Messi's Argentina. On one hand, he had to root for the country he's always loved and represented. But on the other hand, one of his dearest friends in football was trying to win the title as well. Ronaldinho's history with Leo Messi is definitely amongst the most incredible in modern football history. When he was playing at the top of his game at FC Barcelona, he decided to take a young Messi under his wing.
A gesture that Leo will never forget because that's what helped him reach the heights he has in this sport. When he gets asked about Ronaldinho, Leo's first reaction is to smile because of the love and respect between both legends. Something similar happens with the Brazilian star as he gets questions about Messi. But that Saturday was tough for Ronaldinho. His heart was torn in half because he was rooting for both sides.

Ronaldinho's high hopes for Brazil in 2022.
Considering how well they started the Copa America campaign, Ronaldinho thinks Brazil can achieve great things during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. But he was obviously unhappy with their result against Argentina. 'Dinho' will always root for his country but he will always root for Messi when he isn't facing his beloved Seleçao.
When asked about the result by 101GreatGoals, this is what Ronaldinho had to say: "I was sad that the Selecao lost, but happy for Messi. 'It was a storm of emotions, that's how it is when a friend like Messi faces Brazil. Brazil have a strong squad. Each time they reach a World Cup they know the meaning of it. I believe that eventually it will lead them to winning it again."
"I have always said that Messi will always have a role in my team"

From the moment you adjudge to Arcane Legends Gold adventure into the apple of Arlor until you alpha your raids,you do not accept to drive a individual euro.And you will not even accept to if you wish to accumulate playing.The "freemium" attributes of the bold manifests itself in a alternation of added possibilities that can in actuality facilitate your activity or accompany you absolute items.
And be clear,these proposals are still fabricated with a acceptable frequency,back about every awning has the acute "+" to accomplish purchases.However,absent to avoid these paid items,it is still accessible to accept a "full" gaming acquaintance without,in fact,paying a penny.
To be honest,sometimes the admiration to about-face some absolute money into platinum bill to buy this or that affair comes and all in all is aswell justifiable: afterwards all we allocution about a bold with which you can absorb tens and tens of hours,battery out some dindino every now and again to abutment it is absolutely not an abstract idea,do not you find? This is the F2PFP.


It is far too common today to know someone that has had or has breast cancer. In addition to your regular doctor care, there are natural things we can do at home to improve our breast health.
Our breasts have blood and lymph fluid which is important in maintaining healthy breast tissue. However, restricting bras may constrict the proper draining of the lymph system. This can cause toxins to sit around in our breast tissue.
What can you do? First, reduce the toxins we put into our bodies. Specifically, near the breast tissue, deodorant with chemicals may add to the toxin buildup. Consider this: You open your pores in the shower, shave your armpits, and then apply chemicals to your armpits. This routine may be adding toxins into your blood stream. Natural deodorant is a good change.
Second is self breast massage. I know, we are taught to not touch ourselves in this manner. Get over it! Along with the breast self exam, add in a breast massage to ensure your lymph system is moving properly through the breast tissue. Don't forget the lymph nodes from the armpit to the breast. Familiarity will also aid in noticing if anything is different. Special note: if you look for lumps, your body may create a lump for you to find. Instead, simply get to know your breasts well and be aware of any changes. And please be careful when massaging. Breast tissue is fragile.
A new report shows that women that have a high risk of breast cancer in their family AND breast feed their children, will reduce their risk of getting breast cancer by 59%! I believe that the movement created by breast feeding is one aspect allowing the proper flow our breast tissue needs to stay healthy.
In addition to your regular trips to the gynecologist and your monthly self exams, reducing the toxins to our lymph system and moving the toxins out of the breast tissue through regular self massage may add to your breast health.
Please note that I am not a physician and you should consult with your doctor on any changes to your health routine or concerns with breast abnormalities.

BANA Adopts Unified English Braille (UEB) for United States
On November 2, 2012, the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) set a new course for the future of braille in the United States (U.S.) when it adopted Unified English Braille (UEB). The motion, which passed decisively, specifies that UEB will eventually replace the current English Braille American Edition and that the U.S. will retain the Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation.
The transition to UEB will not be immediate and will follow a carefully crafted timeline. Implementation plans will be formulated with the input and participation of stakeholders from the consumer, education, rehabilitation, transcription, and production communities. Plans will take into consideration the various aspects of creating, teaching, learning, and using braille in a wide variety of settings. The plans will be designed to provide workable transitions for all involved in braille use and production and to minimize disruption for current braille readers.
UEB is based on the current literary braille code and was developed with input from many people, primarily braille readers, who worked to achieve an optimal balance among many key factors. Those factors include keeping the general-purpose literary code as its base, allowing the addition of new symbols, providing flexibility for change as print changes, reducing the complexity of rules, and allowing greater accuracy in back translation.
Letters and numbers will stay the same as they are in the current literary code. There will be some changes to punctuation, but most will remain the same. Some rules for the use of contractions will change. Nine contractions will be eliminated, and some contractions will be used more often. A FAQ providing more detail about changes is available on the BANA website.
After implementation, the official braille codes for the United States will be Unified English Braille; Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation, 1972 Revision and published updates; Music Braille Code, 1997; and The IPA Braille Code, 2008.
More detailed information about UEB and the motion that BANA passed can be found on the BANA website at www.brailleauthority.org.
The Board of BANA consists of appointed representatives from fifteen member organizations of braille producers, transcribers, teachers, and consumers.

Home » News » iPad
Confirmed: iPad is no longer a home hub for HomeKit
In the future, only Apple TV and HomePod can assume the function of the control center. Hopes that Apple would reconsider have now been buried.
The iPad is officially not a so-called home hub anymore – and can therefore no longer serve as a control center for a HomeKit smart home. What had already been indicated by individual statements by Apple has now been confirmed by the group.
MacRumors reports this. The information is also on the iPadOS 16 preview website, where it says succinctly: "Only Apple TV and HomePod are supported as home hubs." In the first beta version of iPadOS 16, there was still the option to set an iPad as a HomeKit control center, but the corresponding switch has now disappeared in the second beta. The hope that Apple could reverse its decision is dying.
A home hub is necessary to centrally control a HomeKit setup and make it available and controllable to the outside world. In the past, HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV and even an iPad with a power supply could be used for this. Apple's restriction to the two types of devices has not yet been justified, but with the tablet there was always the risk that a user could simply take it with them and thus remove it from the home network. Apple TV and HomePods, on the other hand, are stationary devices.
The warning is also in the code
According to MacRumors, there are also corresponding strings in the code of iPadOS 16. It says a HomeKit control center is necessary to "receive functions such as notifications from devices and allow other people to control the home". Even clearer: "The iPad is no longer supported as a home hub."
One possible reason: With the upcoming HomeKit, Apple finally wants to support Matter, a broad smart home standard. It is conceivable that the iPad could not fulfill this. The iPad lacks support for Thread, a new short-range radio protocol. However, that's also missing from the first-gen HomePod, which remains Home Hub-enabled.
Users who previously relied on their iPad as the control center for their smart home now have to switch to a HomePod mini or Apple TV. After all, the HomePod mini devices are quite cheap by Apple standards at less than 100 euros.


Self-esteem and leadership go hand-in-hand. The good news is that courage can be cultivated and become a habit.
Today I have great news for you. We've talked a little about the relationship between courage and self-confidence. One aspect of that was that we can use courage and doing things that scare us a little to boost our feeling of self-worth and confidence. In other words, we can increase self-confidence by being courageous or doing something that takes a little courage more often.
Why is this such great news? Because courage is a habit. It's something that's completely in our control and a habit we can cultivate. All it takes is a little awareness and the drive to make it happen. We just need to get the ball rolling for a little while. Today is a great time to do that. If you can take small steps towards courage every single day for the remainder of this challenge, you'll be well on your way to creating this new positive habit.
It doesn't have to be anything big. Small acts of courage will work just fine to build this habit. Remember that as you take each next step your self-confidence will increase. That bravery will make it easier to take another courageous move. Remember, it will become easier with each day as you practice this new habit.
We're creatures of habit and comfort and we don't like venture outside of our comfort zone unless we're forced to. To make courage a habit, you have to actively look for daily opportunities to practice. What can you do to make that happen?
Start paying attention as you go about your busy day. Get in the habit of not shying away from challenges but embracing them and doing things anyway. You're probably encountering a lot more challenges throughout your day than you realize.

The 'Humans Who Feed Us' campaign expands to restaurants, universities
Project to feature unique stories of 22 immigrant community members working the food supply chain
Daniel Carson
Fremont News-Messenger
FREMONT — Monica Ramirez considers the people who work in the farm fields, restaurants and grocery stores to be essential, and she wants the rest of the United States to know just how crucial those workers are in bringing food to everyone's table.
Today, Justice For Migrant Women, a Fremont-based group founded by Ramirez, is launching the national campaign of the "The Humans Who Feed Us" project in partnership with chefs, restaurants, and universities from across the country.
The group introduced the first phase of the project in Fremont earlier this year, a "Humans Who Feed Us" exhibit at the Sandusky County Fairgrounds during the Sandusky County Fair.
"The exhibit and this campaign is about celebrating these incredible people," Ramirez told the News-Messenger Tuesday.
Project seeks to 'humanize' food service workers
According to the group, the project humanizes workers across the food supply chain and shows the interdependence among businesses, the workers they employ and
consumers; and fosters a sense of belonging for these incredible community members in the places where they live and work.
In its second phase, "The Humans Who Feed Us" portrait exhibit will expand this weekend to be showcased in places where food is served or sold around the United States, from restaurants to universities.
The project will focus on "Celebrating The Humans Who Feed Us" in the lead-in into
the season of big holiday meals and celebrations in the United States.
As the project expands geographically, Ramirez said, it also will be broadened to feature the unique stories of 22 immigrant community members employed across the food supply chain, including dairy, poultry, restaurant and grocery store workers to showcase the role each of these individual plays to ensure that people have the food to sustain themselves and to celebrate special moments.
Ramirez said the project, in addition to Ohio, has extended to Florida, Vermont and other states.
Positive feedback from exhibit at county fair
She said the feedback she got from the Sandusky County Fair exhibit was positive, with many residents telling her they didn't realize farmworkers and other essential workers did not have the same rights as other workers.
"I think the workers we've talked to, they were really touched," Ramirez said.
Ramírez created the narrative and portrait project in conjunction with her fellowship with the Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy (an initiative established by Race Forward).
The group highlighted the experiences of eight agricultural workers as they shared some of the experiences they have had while working, some of the challenges they have experienced and some of their thoughts about how community members can make them feel more connected and included in the community.
Restaurant and university partners will participate in the Humans Who Feed Us exhibit by displaying portraits of the profiled community members, as well as sharing background information about the workers and the project, and resources on how to take action to support these workers.
Participating local and regional restaurants and businesses include:
● Billy's.
● The Garrison/Scarpetta's.
● Down Thyme Cafe.
● Casa Fiesta.
● Guajillos.
● El Habanero.
● A's Family Restaurant.
● Casa Mexicana.
● Camper Restaurant.
● Tepito Coffee.
● Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant and Bar.
● Cracked by Chef Adrianne.
● Redfish by Chef Adrianne.
● Forte by Chef Adrianne.
● Glow.
● La Fonda.
● Saddle River Inn.
● Bell Book and Candle.
● Bidwell-Union Market.
Participating universities include Loyola University Chicago, The Ohio State University, Bowling Green State University, Stanford University and Furman University.
Chefs confirmed to participate include Adrianne Calvo, Patty Jinich, Grace Ramirez and Ruffo Ibarra.
Justice for Migrant Women will count on the support of celebrity chef, author, entrepreneur and TV personality Ingrid Hoffmann to help scale the project nationally.
According to Justice for Migrant Women, The Migration Policy Institute reported that immigrants represent 22% of all workers in the U.S. food industry.
Group is calling on Congress to enact reforms
Ramirez said Justice for Migrant Women is also calling on Congress to pass permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for immigrant essential workers.
She said there's still legislation that needs to be passed to raise the legal working age of farmworkers higher than 12, with also more work to be done to combat sexual harassment of farmworkers.
"It's a host of things that need to change. It's a host of legislation that needs to be approved and enacted," Ramirez said.
Above all, Ramirez wants people to see the Humans Who Feed Us exhibits at local restaurants and see the featured workers in all of their power and not just their pain, she said.

The Management of Hate: Nation, Affect, and the Governance of Right-Wing Extremism in Germany
6 halftones. 2 line illus.
Praise 5
Since German reunification in 1990, there has been widespread concern about marginalized young people who, faced with bleak prospects for their future, have embraced increasingly violent forms of racist nationalism that glorify the country's Nazi past. The Management of Hate, Nitzan Shoshan's riveting account of the year and a half he spent with these young right-wing extremists in East Berlin, reveals how they contest contemporary notions of national identity and defy the clichés that others use to represent them.
Shoshan situates them within what he calls the governance of affect, a broad body of discourses and practices aimed at orchestrating their attitudes toward cultural difference—from legal codes and penal norms to rehabilitative techniques and pedagogical strategies. Governance has conventionally been viewed as rational administration, while emotions have ordinarily been conceived of as individual states. Shoshan, however, convincingly questions both assumptions. Instead, he offers a fresh view of governance as pregnant with affect and of hate as publicly mediated and politically administered. Shoshan argues that the state's policies push these youths into a right-extremist corner instead of integrating them in ways that could curb their nationalist racism. His point is certain to resonate across European and non-European contexts where, amid robust xenophobic nationalisms, hate becomes precisely the object of public dispute.
Powerful and compelling, The Management of Hate provides a rare and disturbing look inside Germany's right-wing extremist world, and shines critical light on a German nationhood haunted by its own historical contradictions.
Winner of the 2017 William A. Douglass Prize in Europeanist Anthropology, Society for the Anthropology of Europe of the American Anthropological Association
Honorable Mention for the 2017 Gregory Bateson Prize, The Society for Cultural Anthropology
Honorable Mention for the 2017 APLA Book Prize, Association for Political and Legal Anthropology
Nitzan Shoshan is assistant professor at the Center for Sociological Studies at the Colegio de México in Mexico City.
"As a study of the political self-understanding and everyday lives of young right-wing extremism in the outskirts of the former East Berlin, Shoshan's study is very much worth reading."—John Abromeit, German Studies Review
"A brave and haunting ethnography of right-wing extremists in Germany that exposes the struggle between licit and illicit modes of nationalism in the soul of liberal democracy. This is a must-read book at a time when Europe is fighting its nationalist demons once again."—Dominic Boyer, Rice University
"In this startlingly original book, Nitzan Shoshan argues that violent, populist forms of nationalism are less an exception than an inherent tendency of modernity and that statecraft is increasingly directed to managing it—especially in Europe after the Cold War. Shoshan's brilliant account of this highly charged drama offers disquieting insight into the increasingly visceral, hate-filled politics of our times."—Jean Comaroff, Harvard University
"A major accomplishment. At every turn, Shoshan wrestles with the question of how the most discredited ideas and sensibilities of the modern era—ideas that yielded the indelible horrors of the twentieth century—have become persuasive, compelling even, in the new century. The Management of Hate is one of the most important books published in the anthropology of Europe in more than a decade."—Douglas R. Holmes, author of Integral Europe: Fast-Capitalism, Multiculturalism, Neofascism
"Bold and original. The Management of Hate is the first book in anthropology to look closely at these milieus of radical Right youth cultures in Berlin, with implications for Germany and Europe in general."—Don Kalb, author of Expanding Class: Power and Everyday Politics in Industrial Communities, The Netherlands, 1850–1950

Looking for longer-term market trends that might shape the next few years
Let's be honest for a second: the DJIA, the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and the Russell 2000 all delivered one of the most surprising years in recent history. And while many are happy to see 2021 in the rear-view mirror, the 2021 performance for the major U.S. indices was nothing short of impressive, especially given the headwinds of COVID-19.
Who could have predicted that:
The DJIA would rise 18.7%;
The S&P 500 would rise 26.9%;
NASDAQ would rise 21.4%; and
The Russell 2000 Index would rise 13.7%?
As we enter 2022, there will be no shortage of talking-heads trying to scare investors that we might be in a stock market bubble. And they might be right.
But the flip-side is that there are just as many talking-heads suggesting that stock markets still have plenty of room to grow and that this time it really is different. The reality is that it's a topic that divides some of the brightest minds in finance.
So, rather than jump down that rabbit hole, let's instead listen to what the stock markets may be telling us. Are trends developing that might shape the next few years? Has COVID-19 forever shifted the landscape of some industries at the expense of others?
Maybe 2021's 5 best- and worst-performing stocks from the DJIA and S&P 500 (and the best performer from the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index) can inform?
Best/Worst 2021 Stocks in the DJIA
Within the 30-stock DJIA, 2021 saw 25 record positive performances and the gap between the best and the worst performer was wide.
Company 2021 Total Return
Home Depot +59.5%
Microsoft Corporation +52.5%
Goldman Sachs Group +47.6%
Chevron Corp. +46.3%
Cisco Systems +45.8%
Honeywell International -0.3%
Visa Inc. Class A -0.3%
Boeing Co. -6.0%
Verizon Communications -7.5%
Walt Disney -14.5%
Best/Worst 2021 Stocks in the S&P 500
The S&P 500 is weighted by market capitalization and the five largest companies – Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), and Tesla – make up 23% of the Index as of December 31st. That being said, the gains for S&P 500 companies were plentiful in 2021, with 88% of companies in the S&P 500 ending the year in positive territory.
Among the top 20 best-performers in the S&P 500, the top 2 and 6 of the top 20 were oil producers, and that in itself speaks volumes. And last year's top stock Tesla was "only" up 49.8% this year – a far cry from 2020's eye-popping 743% return.
But as the table below demonstrates, the gap between the best and the worst performers in the S&P 500 was obscenely wide. Some might argue that the gap defies logic altogether.
Devon Energy Corp. 196.1%
Marathon Oil Corp. 149.7%
Moderna Inc. 143.1%
Fortinet 142.0%
Signature Bank 141.5%
MarketAxess -26.9%
Activision Blizzard -28.0%
Las Vegas Sands -36.6%
Global Payments -36.9%
Penn National Gaming -42.9%

One More Crazy Stock Story
Remember the GameStop craziness to start the year? Here's a refresher: from January 1st through January 27th, shares of GameStop were up 1,744.5%. Then the stock took a dive.
But for those who held on all year, GameStop shares were up 687.6% for 2021, on its way to becoming the top performer among companies in the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index. Kind of crazy.
So, What Should You Do Now?
The answer to that question is, of course, very personal. And depending on your perspective, your course of action will be personal too. But a financial professional might encourage you to think beyond just investing.
Think about things like:
Is your house equipped for you to work from home long-term?
Do you have enough cash reserves in case of an emergency?
Are your estate planning documents (will, power of attorney, health-care directive, etc.) updated?
Do you have adequate insurance that covers your risks?
Finally, if you are thinking of altering your asset allocations due to what you think might be longer-term trends, consider discussing this with a financial professional.
Stock investing involves risk including loss of principal.
Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

Description Annual with pinnate leaves and white flowers.
Habitat Vernal pools and swales.
Threats Residential and agricultural development.
Sebastopol meadowfoam is an annual in the false mermaid (meadowfoam) family that grows to a mature height of about 12 in (30 cm). Its multiple stems bear long-stemmed, pinnately divided leaves comprising three to five leaflets. Single white flowers bloom at the ends of the stems.
This species is limited to vernal pools and other seasonal wetlands in the Cotati Valley, California, which lies north of San Francisco. These pools occur where a non-porus material, such as clay, hard-pan, or volcanic stone, lies under surface depressions. In these areas, winter rains form pools which gradually dry out during the spring and summer. This unique habitat is not suitable for plant species that are intolerant of inundation or for aquatic species that require permanent standing water.
Sebastopol meadowfoam is found in Cotati Valley vernal pools along with two other endangered plants: Burke's goldfields (Lasthenia burkei) and Sonoma sunshine (Blennosperma bakeri). These species occur is an area of Sonoma County about 16 mi (26 km) long and 5-11 mi (8-18 km) wide. This range is bounded on the north by the town of Windsor; on the south by the town of Hessel; on the west by the Laguna de Santa Rosa, a tributary of the Russian River; and on the east by the foothills of the Sonoma and Mayacmas mountains. In the Cotati Valley, vernal pools form on Huichica loam and Clear Lake clay soil types where there is an impervious layer a few feet below the surface.
Other plants that grow in these vernal pools include fringed downingia (Downingia concolor), Navarretia spp. smooth lasthenia (Lasthenia glaberrima ), and Lobb's buttercup (Ranunculus lobbii ).
Sebastopol meadowfoam was first described in 1969 from specimens collected in 1966 along Todd Road in Sonoma County. The species has never been recorded outside of the Cotati Valley.
At present there are 19 populations of Sebastopol meadowfoam in vernal pools in the southern portion of the Cotati Valley, Sonoma County. These scattered sites stretch from the vicinity of Santa Rosa south to Hessel. Most of the vernal pools are privately owned. One site, the Todd Road Reserve, is owned by the California Department of Fish and Game. It contains a population of Sebastopol mead-owfoam as well as the endangered Sonoma sunshine (Blennosperma bakeri). Four other sites are owned by county or city agencies.
The overwhelming threat to Sebastopol mead-owfoam and other vernal pool species is the destruction of these unique habitats for residential and agricultural development. So far about 90% of the Cotati Valley has been developed. The need for affordable housing within commuting distance of San Francisco has increased developmental pressure throughout the valley.
The construction of housing developments near Santa Rosa is destroying populations of Sebastopol meadowfoam, as well as Burke's goldfields (Lasthenia burkei) and Sonoma sunshine (Blennosperma bakeri). Recently, more than a dozen pools have been filled without the landowners obtaining permits from the Army Corps of Engineers as required by the federal Clean Water Act. In part because most of the pools are relatively small, the Corps of Engineers has been reluctant to examine the ecological effects of destroying these seasonal wetlands. Now that Sebastopol meadowfoam and other vernal pool species have been listed under the Endangered Species Act, the Corps is required to consult with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service whenever alteration of their wetland habitat is proposed, regardless of size.
Sebastopol meadowfoam faces an additional threat related to development. Santa Rosa is planning to expand its wastewater treatment facility to accommodate its growing population. Currently, treated wastewater is used to irrigate about 4,500 acres (1,821 hectares) of cropland. Expansion plans call for the construction of a series of terraces planted with water-tolerant grasses and flooded with waste-water for treatment. The water would then be recycled for irrigation. The plan calls for the wastewater capacity to be increased to irrigate 7,500 acres (3,035 hectares). Even if vernal pools were not directly flooded, the increase in residential and agricultural development, as well as the probable spread of the semi-aquatic grasses, would threaten Sebastopol meadowfoam and other vernal pool species.
A lesser threat to Sebastopol meadowfoam is livestock grazing, which has reduced populations of endemic vernal pool species at many of their historic sites.
The most crucial need for conservation of the Sebastopol meadowfoam is the protection of its critical habitat from residential and agricultural development. In particular, the illegal filling of vernal-pool habitat must be stopped. Most of the surviving habitat is privately owned and potentially threatened by various activities. This habitat should be protected by acquiring the land and designating ecological reserves, or by negotiating conservation easements with the landowners. The populations of the Sebastopol meadowfoam should be monitored, and research undertaken into its biology, habitat needs, and beneficial management practices.

Barracuda Tactical's magazine extensions like this one for the Glock43 are slick and sport the company logo.
The struggle is real when trying to balance size and capacity for your everyday carry (EDC) gun. Extended floor plates help add capacity for sub-compacts, and provide some length in the grip for your hand. Barracuda Tactical (BT) is a company that sells magazine extensions for the M&P Shield and Glock handguns.
Most are probably familiar with magazine 'pinky extensions' that lengthen small, sub-compact magazines. Some also increase the magazine capacity by one or two rounds. The products from BT are a bit different. These units are cut from aluminum and are available in a few colors: red, black, blue, or silver. I tested a black, +2 Glock 43 extension and a silver, +2/+3 Glock 27/26 extension.
Barracuda Tactical is not alone in the extension market. Hyve Technologies is another top-tier manufacturer with a loyal core following. In fact, I have been using a Hyve +2, magazine extension on my Glock 27, for over a year. There are also some cheaper 'knock-off' companies making similar products, but I have not yet got my hands on any goods for testing. Because I had a first-hand experience with Hyve products, I thought it would be great to reach out to Barracuda Tactical, get some products and see how they compare to Hyve's gear.
Barracuda Tactical and Hyve Technologies Glock 27 magazine extensions side by side.
The decision to use a magazine extension on your EDC gun is personal. There are benefits and drawbacks of using them, and ultimately you judge if they are something that provides you a benefit.
Using a magazine extension has its pros and cons.
Added weight and size of these devices can help during magazine changes. On the flip-side, some might not like the added weight. Adding length to the grip can add comfort and stability whenever you're shooting. Yet again, on the other hand, length definitely makes it more difficult to conceal. The added capacity is the biggest benefit in my mind, as every extra round is a plus.
Pros and Cons aside, there is a practical argument that people make against adding an extension. The gripe is that putting an extension on a sub-compact defeats the purpose of the small gun. In other words, a Glock 26 with a +3 magazine extension carries less (13 rounds) than a Glock 19 (15 rounds). The extension makes the dimensions of the two nearly the same, and the 19 is easier to shoot … so why not just carry a 19?
This argument is reasonable and I see the logic behind it. I will offer this rebuttal, though: People may not have the money to purchase a new handgun, and squeezing a few extra rounds into their existing sub-compact for around $30 is a viable option. Also, some people just like their sub-compacts, and don't want to change.
The Glock43 +2 extension has forward serrations that feel great.
I can relate, as I have carried a Glock 27 for about 10 years. I am not against upgrading to a Glock 19 or 23, I am sure I could conceal it just as well as my 27. But there is another reason some may not want to merely switch guns. My problem is that I have many custom holsters and products from my 27 that won't work with a new gun.
And when it comes to single stacks, like the Glock 43, there is no equivalent that would give you the same capacity, while keeping the same size. So adding a magazine extension is a great idea to increase the diminished single stack capacity.
However you look at the rationale for or against their use, this is a huge market and people continue to use them.
Whether you're looking at the Hyve or Barracuda Tactical products, you will love the look or hate it. BT's extensions definitely have a different look from the Hyve products. These are a bit sleeker and have a more 'metallic' look. I like the look of both designs, but I have to say the lines on the Barracuda Tacticals are nice.
My bigger concern is how they work. When you add a non-OEM part to your EDC, you absolutely need to ensure it will function. I can attest to the Hyve running well with no issues as I have put hundreds and hundreds of rounds through my gun while using a the Hyve extension. But would these new extensions hold up?
The magazine extensions look great, but are they reliable? I wanted to find out.
Reliability is paramount, so I put these guys through some rigorous testing, dropping them on concrete and on the ground during magazine changes. You can see some dings and scrapes from the abuse. I found the black color to be more susceptible than the silver to showing scratches. After 200 combined rounds of FMJ and HP through the Glock 43 and 27 with no issues, I felt satisfied. Not a huge round count I know. But I don't feel additional rounds would produce a different result.
As you can see, the Glock 43 grip has a serrated pinky groove which was not only comfortable but looked good. The surface of both the Hyve and BT products were similar, but the BT's surface had some dimples, that may be for aesthetics, like 'bubbles' from the barracuda. But these are also practical as they added some slight surface friction. The barracuda logo on the bottom is a nice touch.
Product fit is really important. I had an old Scherer brand extension for my 27 and I didn't like it. The design created a ledge that pinched my finger every time I shot. I never had this issue with the Hyve product. As for the BT extensions, the 43 creates no gap what so ever, but the 27 has a slight gap. Initially, I was worried that I would be plagued by a biting barracuda once I got to the range. But was happy that this wasn't the case and the added grip felt great in hand.
The gap between the extension and the frame does not pinch, like some other products I have used.
The Hyve products use a 'magazine stop' that holds the magazine inside the extension, while the BT's use a tiny set screw. Both work just fine, but here is a tip. When installing the tiny screw, make sure to do it where you can't lose it if dropped. My fat fingers almost doomed me as I dropped it into the carpet. With good fortune (and a strong magnet), I was able to find it. Another note on installation: If you are installing these on a Glock magazine, ensure you have a gen4 magazine (the ones with notches cut on both sides of the tube). Neither the Hyve nor the BT extensions will work with a gen3 magazine.
The specs of the two are very similar, with the BT being slightly heavier and taller.
This chart compares the specs on of the Hyve and Barracuda Tactical +2 Glock 27 magazine extension.
Do you use a magazine extension? What is your favorite brand and why? Leave a comment below.
So I was able to plug +3 into my g27 mag. It says +2, should I remove the add'l round? Wondering if it will cause problems. Haven't taken it to the range yet. Thanks.
Another reason that you didn't address is the desire to have a backup magazine with higher capacity. I will carry my G43 with the shorty 6rd in the pistol and have as a spare mag the longer higher cap mag in reserve either in another pocket or pouch.
Great point James. Thanks for the feedback.

Case Study Details
Database Narrative
The Arab Awakening came to the Middle Eastern country of Oman with a peaceful protest in the capital Muscat on 17 January, 2011. This campaign consisted of several groups that worked towards both individual and collective goals. The campaigners had many demands including: government reforms, an increased minimum wage, lower unemployment rates, and higher education rates.
The 17 January march of about 200 Omanians occurred soon after the successful campaign in Tunisia to remove President Zine Al Abidine Bin Ali. This first action was held to demonstrate against corruption in the government and the cost of food. Police did not attempt to stop the march. On 18 February, after unrest increased in Bahrain, 350 people marched, this time demanding both an end to corruption and a more fair distribution of oil revenue; these protesters did not directly oppose the Sultan of Oman and police again did not attempt to stop the protest.
On 26 February, protests spread to Sohar, where 500 demonstrators blockaded a shopping mall. The next day, 27 February, protesters forced the closure of the Earth Roundabout to traffic by staging an occupation and blocking every access point to the main junction in the industrial port city. This occupation continued until the last day of strikes and protests.
Protesters elsewhere in Sohar, however, who had been cordoned off by security forces, threw stones at police, who responded by using tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. Witnesses report that two protesters were killed but the state would later claim that only one protester died.
On 28 February in Sohar, protesters blockaded the Port of Oman and looted and burned a market. Omani army soldiers and tanks dispersed the blockade without opening fire.
On 1 March in Muscat, approximately 50 demonstrators held a sit-in at the Consultative Assembly of Oman. The group grew to over 400 protesters. This was a well-organized sit-in including a tent camp with separate areas for men and women.
A counter-protest was held the same day in Muscat in support of the Sultan, although it is not entirely clear how many of the demonstrators in that group were there voluntarily, as many were government workers. Large motorcades also regularly drove through the city in support of the government.
Meanwhile in Sohar, a vigil was held outside of a police station in which two protesters were being held as the occupation and blockade of the Globe Roundabout continued.
On 5 March oil workers in Haima, a key oil region, began a sit-in demanding more investment in the region. On 6 March about 200 workers staged a protest at Oman Air in Muscat. They demanded a wage increase. Some workers called in sick, while others refused to work after arriving at their offices. One hundred protesters arrived outside the airline's headquarters to protest in solidarity with the Oman Air workers.
Walkouts and protests also occurred daily at Oman International Bank, Oman Investment Finance Company, and Muscat's government-owned Intercontinental Hotel. The staff of Oman International Bank and Oman Investment and Finance Company staged a walkout in the morning and stood in silent protest in front of their offices. They wanted higher pay and additional overtime.
Oman Air announced concessions to their striking workers.
Demonstrations spread throughout Muscat and then to the towns of Sur, Salalah, and Al Buraimi. Sultan Qaboos, the country's leader, responded to the protests with a pledge to create 50,000 new jobs and to distribute 150 rials ($390) a month to unemployed workers. However, the Sultan's concessions only encouraged more protests.
Gulf Arab oil producers announced on 10 March that they were launching a $20 billion aid package for Oman and Bahrain. This package was a job-generating measure that would enable the two countries to upgrade their housing and infrastructure.
However, two days later workers went on strike at Bank Muscat and succeeded in obtaining concessions and an increased salary on 13 March.
On 15 March the oil workers at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) went on strike to demand higher wages. 400 workers protested and held up placards outside of PDO headquarters in Muscat. Protesters also stopped work for several hours at the Marmul oil field and the Karn Al Alam gas field.
On that same day Sultan Qaboos announced that the government would double monthly welfare payments and increase pension benefits. Sultan Qaboos also ordered a salary increase of up to 100 rials ($260) a month for civil servants, as well as security forces. The Sultan removed twelve cabinet ministers up to this point in response to the protests. He also offered to give some legislative powers to the partially elected Oman Council.
However, on 16 March the oil and gas workers' protests and work stoppages continued.
On 17 March over 1,000 strikers went from unit to unit at Rusayl Industrial Estate and forced all of its 150 units to stop their work. They demanded a 300-rial minimum wage, five-day work weeks, and Eid holidays off from work. Protesters also blockaded access to the estate with objects they had brought. The protests stopped production as well as transport of goods in and out of the estate.
Security personnel from Oman's Security and Safety Services also blocked the main Sultan Qaboos Highway opposite the Muscat International Airport in a protest of their own. Students at Sohar College blocked expatriate teaching staff from entering the premises and demanded lower passing grades.
On 20 March about 200 workers at two oil refineries went on strike to demand higher wages. Protesters at the refineries stated that they wanted higher pay, better pension, training, regular promotions, and more Omanis in the management team.
On 28 March mass media reported that dozens of youths had been holding a daily vigil throughout the course of the strikes in a square near the offices of Oman's Consultative Council. Protesters also camped out nightly in front of the parliament building in Muscat, outside the governor's office in Salalah, and in Sohar.
On 30 March police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and baton beatings to clear about 100 protesters from the blockaded roundabouts in Sohar. Police made arrests of 57 protesters.
The next day, hundred of people took to the streets, some beginning a sit-in, in protest of the arrests and police brutality.
The police responded again with violence, though the Omani government claimed they were acting in self-defense against knife- or stone-wielding protesters, killing one protester, injuring several others, and arresting as many as a hundred more. On 3 April, Government authorities released the detained protesters after questioning. This appears to mark the end of direct action in Sohar.
Scattered protests continued throughout the country, but the most significant action occurred in Salalah, where, on 6 May, hundreds of protesters took to the streets and bolstered protest camps. Large protests had occurred in Salalah every Friday after prayer for four weeks. On 12 May, police cleared a camp, arresting as many as a hundred protesters. On 13 May and into 14 May, police and army forces used baton beatings and tear gas to disperse and arrest many of the remaining protesters. It is not clear if there were any significant actions taken in Oman after this point.
Actions by protesters against certain companies were successful and nationwide demands for government and labor reforms were partially successful. The Sultan made some concessions but did not completely overhaul the government as some protesters wished.
Protesters were influenced by and influenced other protests in neighboring Arab countries as part of the Arab Awakening (2011)(1,2).

The Hidden Kingdom: The United States in Biblical Prophecy-The Meaning of Sept. 11
Charles Tekula, Jr.
iUniverse, 2002 - 188 pages
The Hidden Kingdom is an insightfully rich Biblical exploration by ex-atheist Charles F. Tekula, Jr. Tekula follows the story of Abraham and his prophetic legacy handed down from father to son. The Old Testament prophets pointed to a "company of nations" richly blessed in every way as the last days abode of the descendants of Joseph, favorite son of Jacob, who was grandson and chosen heir to Abraham. The Author has uncovered for us the eminently prominent place the United States occupies in the prophetic history mapped out in the Holy Scriptures, as it surely must if these ancient prophecies are to have any relevance for us today. The Hidden Kingdom follows the prophetic bridge over the gap between the Old and New Testaments using the theme of the Abrahamic Birthright promises.An earlier manuscript of The Hidden Kingdom was put on file with the U.S. Copyright Office in 1999. It is included substantially intact in this volume. In that manuscript Charles Tekula foretold, using what he had discovered about Biblical prophecy, that the destruction of Babylon, the great seaport city from the Book of Revelations, was to take place in New York City focusing on the World Trade Center.

While I was only planning a 14 mile day to the Morgan Stewart Shelter, I wanted to leave early to beat the heat. Naturally, I slept in a bit, and didn't get started hiking until about 8:20.
After five miles, around 11:45, I arrived at the RPH (Ralph's Peak Hiker) Shelter. The shelter is very nice; although enclosed on three sides like most shelters, it has a front door, and a hole in the back where a wall or large door once was. There's also a water pump right next to the shelter, so you don't have to go anywhere to get water. (Still need to filter it, though.) There's a privy that's par for the course, two picnic tables, six plastic chairs, and a large grassy camping area. Overall, it's a nice shelter.
I stopped at RPH for my break, and tried to order pizza. Unfortunately the pizza place only delivers after 4:30 pm. It was hot out, and I didn't really want to leave, so I procrastinated leaving for a while, but eventually finished my snack and after a nearly hour long break, left the shelter around 12:40. I made it about a tenth of a mile down the trail, past the road crossing, and a tiny bit up the hill, before I decided I was done hiking for the day. The heat was a convenient excuse, but I also didn't really sleep well at the state park, so I didn't have the mental energy to push forward.
My food was quoted as taking 45 minutes to arrive, but got to the shelter early, after about half an hour. I ate the entire order of sesame chicken and rice I ordered, something I'm not usually able to do at home. I also got a two liter bottle of coke.
While I was eating, an older hiker, Blood Man, arrived. I shared some of my soda with him (figuring it was probably not prudent to drink the entire bottle myself). As a result, he offered to trade a bag of venison jerky he had dehydrated before he started for a refill of his small water bottle with more coke. This seemed like a good trade to me, so I accepted.
As the evening wore on, I ordered a pizza (appropriately sized, this time), and actually managed to eat most of it.
We had visits from two of the shelter maintainers. Bill (who has thru-hiked the trail) arrived briefly earlier in the day to take the trash out. Tim (who also hiked the trail in the 80s) came in the evening, and chatted with us for over an hour. Apparently, the local residents don't really like the shelter, but as long as it stays in good repair the park service allows for the shelter to remain. Last weekend, the maintaining group did some major repair work, putting on a new roof and doing a considerable amount of trail maintenance nearby.


Say hello to our new favorite salad.
But no matter the source, the end result is far more delicious than the original we tried (not to brag, but for real), and it's insanely easy to make! Shall we?
This 30-minute recipe starts with a base of greens, cooked lentils, red grapes, and the star of the show: curry roasted cauliflower.
We tossed one head of cauliflower in a bit of salt, coconut oil (or water), and our DIY Curry Powder (swoon) and roasted it to perfection. The result is crispy-on-the-edge, tender-in-the-center cauliflower bursting with flavor.
Next comes the dressing, which is a mixture of our go-to Green Curry Paste – that color tho! – and tahini, resulting in a creamy, savory-sweet, punchy dressing that marries this salad together beautifully.
This would make the perfect weeknight meal when you need something healthy and satisfying on the table fast! It also keeps well, which makes it ideal to make ahead and pack along for lunches throughout the week (just serve the lentils and cauliflower chilled).
If you're into salads, also be sure to check out our favorite Garlicky Kale Salad with Crispy Chickpeas, Roasted Vegetable Salad with Chimichurri, Curry-Roasted Vegetable & Lentil Kale Salad, Loaded Kale Salad, and Abundance Salad with Savory Tahini Dressing!

Crazy delicious kale salad topped with red grapes, lentils, and curry roasted cauliflower. Served with a tahini-green curry paste dressing! Just 30 minutes required for this flavorful side or entrée.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Line a baking sheet (or more as needed) with parchment paper.
Add cauliflower to a mixing bowl and toss with coconut oil (or water), curry powder, and sea salt. Transfer to baking sheet and roast cauliflower for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
Prepare dressing by adding green curry paste, tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and whisking to combine. If needed, thin with water until pourable.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more green curry paste for a stronger curry flavor, tahini for greater thickness, lemon juice for acidity, or maple syrup for sweetness.
Assemble salad by adding lettuce to a serving platter or bowl. Top with lentils, grapes, and cooked cauliflower and serve with dressing. Optional: garnish with fresh cilantro.
Best served fresh. Store leftovers in airtight container for 3-4 days. Store dressing separately for up to 1 week.
*Prep time does not include preparing green curry paste.
*If you like heavy dressing, multiply the recipe x 1 1/2 or 2.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without optional ingredients and with all of the dressing and the oil.
This was wonderful! I used the only lentils I had , red but it still worked. Served over spinach and kale. Really had great flavor combinations and looked yummy too.
Thanks so much for sharing, Sandy! So glad you enjoyed it!
Another delicious salad. I served it on kale, which I think was 'hardy' enough to take the weight of the other ingredients. The dressing was too spicy for me so next time I'll halve the curry paste (I guess it all depends onto brand, I used store-bought).
We've been making this recipe once a month for a while now. The only thing I've ever changed is the grapes. They are not always affordable so I swap them out with whatever fruit is on sale at the time. Everyone I serve it to loves it. My kids devour it! The dressing is where the magic happens.
I made this yesterday to take to a potluck. Modified by leaving out the green curry paste (time factor) and lentils, and substituted sweet potatoes for some of the cauliflower. It tasted fantastic and i got lots of compliments. Thanks for a great recipe. I would have given 5 stars but my mods make the recipe a touch different.
Yay! We are glad to hear it, Julie!
Absolutely delicious! I added a few tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion on the bed of greens. I love that it's so versatile and you can add your own twist. I will definitely be cooking the curried cauliflower as an addition to other meals. Thanks.
This salad was phenomenal! I followed the directions with no substitutions (except maybe a little extra lemon juice and I added hemp seeds for crunch), and used store-bought curry powder and green paste in the interest of time (will try the homemade versions soon!). The bold curry with the sweet grapes and the hearty lentils was the perfect combination for a summery salad. Delicious and incredibly filling– highly recommended!
I'm sharing this recipe in a post I've written for Care2.com for National Salad Month. I just wanted to check if it's okay to use one of the photos? I'll obviously give you credit and link back to Minimalist Baker.
Hi Angela! Thanks for reaching out. For recipe and image sharing guidelines, check this article out!
I love this salad! Thank you! I have made it twice, once with raisins (instead of grapes) and kale, the next with grapes and salad greens. Both were great. I definitely recommend using the lemon in the dressing, the lime juice was all I had on hand for the second time I made it, and I preferred the lemon. This is one to make again and again.
This salad is awesome! I made the green curry paste as directed in the linked recipe and so glad. It is delicious and will definitely have many other uses. I used cooked black barely I already had instead of cooking lentil and worked out well. I feel like you can you use any grain you have handy and will be great.
In Spain we loven lentils. I will try this helathy variation.
Just made this! Very yummy and healthy. Love your recipes.
This is so good! I used apples becasue it's what I had and it was very tasty! Thank you!
This salad is amazing! I am in love with it's bold flavors. Of course I am a curry fan anyway. I took the extra step of making the curry powder recipe instead of using a premade mix from store since I had all of the spices on hand. Definitely worth the effort.
I have made quite a few of your recipes and they have all been great. Thank you for helping me keep my family's meatless meals flavorful and delicious! ?
We had this yesterday evening with homemade bread – so fast, so easy, so yummy! Used only 3 Tbsp of curry paste though, was enough for our taste. Thanks for the great recipe!
We're glad you enjoyed it, Yulca!
I made this for dinner last night (for my nonvegan/nonGF fiancé) and he loved it. He thought it was so creative. I loved it too!! I added brown Basmati rice to bulk the dish up for him! I would recommend the cilantro on top (I ended up adding more) because it gives it such a wonderful flavor. I also used the Thai Kitchen brand of green curry paste with success. Am definitely going to attempt to make my own paste in the future though as yours looks so vibrant and fresh in comparison to my jarred variety (whomp, whomp). Thanks, Dana! Another incredible recipe!
This salad is amazing! While cauliflower roasted I threw the remainder together- quick and easy with ingredients I always have on hand. I have made several of Dana's recipes this week and loved every one- going to order her cookbook tonight!
I made this with a thai curry paste that was neither green nor red ;-) and probably too spicy – I mixed in an avocado and some more water to make it milder and I used cashew cream instead of tahini because I don't like sesame. It turned out amazing and I'm definitely going to make it again. Some soft bread or pitas or so would be nice with it , and I think pineapple would be just as yummie as the grapes or could go in additionally! loved it! Thank you <3!
Thanks for sharing your modifications!
I just made this and it was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe pretty much exact except I cut back a bit on the curry paste because I was afraid it would be too spicy for my tastebuds. Even the curry on the cauliflower gave it a bit more zing than I was expecting. The juicy grapes paired with the zing of the curry really give you a mouth full of flavor! Delicious!
Delicious! I had some cauliflower I wanted to use for lunch yesterday and the newsletter with this recipe popped up just in time! Next time I make it, I'm going to add a larger portion of grapes because the flavor pop was surprising and tasty! Thanks for another great recipe.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Rochelle.
Oh my, I can imagine how mind-blown you were at the airport when you tried this salad! I've had incredible airport food before, but nothing worth replicating. Glad you found this recipe because it looks delicious! I want to add some tempeh into this recipe as well for some more protein and iron!
If I do not have an oven how else would you suggest to make cauliflower?
I would say sauté on the stove top to brown the exterior, and occasionally cover with a lid to steam the inside. Good luck!
I actually have all the ingredients! Woot! I am absolutely making this tonight! Thank you!
Made this with the homemade curry paste (without the bell pepper as I don't digest it well) and it was delicious, absolutely loved the dressing! Even my partner who doesn't enjoy cauliflower usually said it was very good. Served it on a bed of brown rice to make it more filling. Thank you!
I made the cauliflower using Thai curry powder and it came out just as yummy! (It's what I had at the moment) I would make it again. Thank you!
I made the cauliflower using that curry powder and it came out just as yummy! (It's what I had at the moment) I would make it again. Thank you!
This looks amazing. What type of lentils did you use?
We used canned organic brown lentils.
This looks amazing! How do you think it would taste with red curry paste instead of green?
hmm, definitely different. I like the lightness / herbal quality of green curry paste (especially our DIY recipe). But if you try it with red let us know how it goes!
