This pasta dish is exactly what I want out of a spring midweek dinner — 20 minutes to prepare, plenty of veges and minimal dishes. The fennel's distinctive aniseed flavour mellows as it cooks and it complements the bitterness of the cavolo nero well. My fennel has turned into a bit of a forest — I've been picking the long fronds and having them in a vase in my kitchen. As with most pasta dishes, this one is greatly improved with the garnishing: good-quality flaky sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, a drizzle of good-quality extra virgin olive oil and a generous grating of fresh Parmesan. A few fennel fronds and some lemon zest really top this one off.
Cook pasta according to packet instructions, until al dente.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil to a low heat. Add the onion and fennel and cook for about 5 minutes. Increase the heat and continue cooking, then add the garlic, butter and the chilli flakes. Rinse the cavolo nero and add to the pan. Cook for another 6-7 minutes.
Turn heat down and drain the pasta. Add pasta to the frying pan and mix through the greens. Add lemon zest and juice, then garnish and season with salt and pepper.
Cavolo nero is also called Tuscan kale or black kale. It is sold in most supermarkets. If you can't find any you could try using regular kale or even cabbage instead. Ray McVinnie has written a short piece on this site called Know your Cavolo Nero about how to use it. Search for cavolo nero under Articles and you'll find it.

To make dough by hand: Beat eggs with water, then add flour. Beat in the first 2 cups in your mixer and the last cup by hand, as the dough is very dry. Mix until the ingredients adhere. Knead on board (no need to flour the board) for at least 10-15 minutes, until dough is smooth.
Divide dough into 2 balls keeping one covered while you work with the other. Roll out to desired thinness then cut into narrow strips for noodles or the appropriate squares for wonton skins or egg roll wrappers.
(These should be as thin as possible.) TO MAKE DOUGH BY MACHINE: Mix and knead dough as described above. Roll dough by hand so it is thin enough to fit through the widest slot of the k neading section of the noodlemaker. Run it through once. Then continue to run dough through the slot, but increasing the thinness gauge until you have the dough at the desired width. The dough is now ready for any 1 of the following step s. FRESH EGG NOODLES: Put on the egg noodle attachment and run dough once through the egg noodle slot. Cut noodles to desired length. Dust with cornstarch. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. WONTON WRAPPERS: Run dough twice through the last or next to the last slot. (The dough should be as thin as possible.) Cut dough into 3 or 3½ inch squares. Dust with cornstarch and stack wrappers on top of each other. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. EGG ROLL WRAPPERS: Run dough twice through the same slot just like the wonton wrappers. Cut into 5 or 5 ½ inch squares.
The size of the square is determined by the width of the dough.
Therefore, try to keep the width of the rolled out sheet to almost, or as wide as, the width of the noodle slot. The minimum width should be at least 5 inches but is even better if it is 5 ½ inches.

Gareth Edwards Reveals A Fun Little 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' Easter Egg
Posted December 1st, 2016 by Stuart Conover
We have a lot to look forward to in Gareth Edwards' standalone Star Wars film 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' and now we know that there is going to be a fun Easter Egg in the film. While the movie deals with regular folks who are tied directly into the creation of the Death Star and the delivery of its plans to The Rebel Alliance, it seems that the story won't just be tying directly into 'Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope' but potentially in other facets of the Star Wars universe as well.
Specifically, there is a sequence in the film which will be full of Easter Eggs, including some non-Star Wars ones. When we get to the cave where Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera lives,a lot of attention went into the design of that set. We already know some classics like Darth Vader, Mon Mothma, and possibly even Grand Moff Tarkin will be showing up but for some subtle clues, we need to look to the cave.
While Edwards wasn't including what might be there from the Star Wars universe he did say:
"There's some Easter eggs. In Saw's [Gerrera's] cave, there are some cave paintings. One of them is of the creatures that were in my first film, called Monsters, and then there's a Godzilla. I didn't ask for it, I just came in one day and saw it."
Yes, folks, Godzilla is going to be showing up in a 'Star Wars' film and I couldn't be happier! Sure, it'll probably be a super quick glance that will be hard to catch on the big screen but that still is hilarious, even more so since Edwards himself didn't request them!
Are you looking forward to the Easter Eggs which may be sprinkled throughout 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story'? Do you think we'll see a few more non-Star Wars ones slipped in? Share your thoughts below!
From Lucasfilm comes the first of the Star Wars standalone films, 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,' an all-new epic adventure. In a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction. This key event in the Star Wars timeline brings together ordinary people who choose to do extraordinary things, and in doing so, become part of something greater than themselves.
'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' is directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel are producing, with John Knoll and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers. 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' opens in U.S. theaters on December 16, 2016.

Air New Zealand has launched a fantastic series of online videos that tell the stories of four Australians who are tricked into visiting New Zealand. Titled 'Kiwi Sceptics' the videos present an eclectic mix of protagonists who are buddied up with like minded New Zealanders.
Air New Zealand's biggest campaign in ten years is an excellent example of how branded content can entertain and engage. After watching one video on Facebook I quickly checked out the remaining three clips on Air New Zealand's YouTube channel. The voiceover by Rhys Darby (from Flight of the Concords) is surprisingly amusing. I'm a big fan of New Zealand but I could completely relate to the participant's reservations and revelations.
Additional content lives on Facebook and a NineMSN microsite that includes profiles, itineraries and Q&As. You can also snag a cheap flight across the ditch.
This campaign is going to be big. Expect awards and, hopefully, a second series where the participants return to New Zealand with their friends and family.
Kudos to Host, Candid Films and PHD for putting this together and Air New Zealand for taking a risk.


"I remember camels coming up to our front door with huge sacks of salt," says Joseph Shamash. Vendors would come in through the high walls of his family's home just two blocks away from the King's Palace in Baghdad.
Having grown up in Iraq in the early fifties, Shamash is still amazed by how primitive and wonderful life could be. While he does remember some bad times, what is most vivid are days spent floating down on the Tigris on palm fronds, eating fish and riding taxis that were still horse drawn buggies.
"I suspect our family history goes as far back as when the Jews were brought over to Babylon," he says. Shamash was born in 1948, the second of seven children.
His father, Selim Shamash was a successful merchant, trading textiles among other products. Selim traveled around the world. Business took him as far as India and China, which Shamash says was rare for Iraqi's.
As a child, Shamash, always knew that being Jewish was dangerous and something to be wary about sharing with strangers. His parents had told him stories of the Farhoud's in the years before we he was born. During WWII Shamash's father was arrested in Egypt.
Instead of answering, Shamash turned and headed home. The other boy threw a stick with a nail in it, which struck Shamash in the head causing him to bleed. When he showed up at home, bloodied, his mother began screaming.
Another incident occurred while leaving a country club frequented by mostly Jews and some Christians; a group of Muslims chased the car Shamash was in throwing stones.
Despite occasional incidents life was good until his family was forced to leave in 1957, Shamash says. "When life was good it was great and when it was bad it was terrible.
After the king was assassinated Shamash's parents knew to leave. They were able to get some money out. But had to pay huge bribes that amounted to half of what they were trying to take out of Iraq. All but Shamash's eldest brother Albert left for Queens New York.
In 1958 Shamash's parents traveled back to Iraq to get Albert. But the authorities would not let them leave for two years, leaving Shamash and his five stateside siblings alone.
"It took a long time to feel at home," Shamash says. "The culture in America was so different. The same hospitality was not there. People were polite, but not intimate." He missed the warmth and closeness he had felt in Iraq.
But over the years he adapted to American culture. Shamash has traveled to over 30 countries in his life and says that being Jewish helped him adapt to America.
He is happy that his children still have a link with their Iraqi heritage. And while he can't be sure about the next generation that the culture he knew as a child has past down one generation is encouraging.
Joseph Shamash lives in Orinda with his wife and two children. His eldest daughter is studying at USC.
