As if New Mogadishu Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick didn’t have enough scandals with his perjury charges, attempts to bribe whistleblowing cops, and the dead stripper Tamara Greene, he’s now created a new one by vociferously denying that he dressed as a girl in a school play in 1984.

With the onset of Spring, my menus usually get lighter.  Quite often, I enjoy a large salad on its own as a dinner entree.  Here's a zesty take on the traditional Ranch salad dressing.  Although, I list fresh basil as an ingredient, feel free to experiment by adding other fresh herbs!Ingredients:1/3 cup Sour Cream1 clove fresh Garlic, diced fine3 TBS Buttermilk3 TBS VinegarNote: I usually use Red Onion Vinegar which I harvest from my Yazoo Pickled Onions recipe.  On occasion, I'll employ Malt Vinegar.2 TBS fresh Basil leaf, diced fine1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper3/4 cup MayonnaiseSalt & Cracked Black Pepper to tasteCooking Procedure:Combine the sour cream, garlic, buttermilk, vinegar & basil in a food processorProcess this for 20 secondsAdd the

This has been official for a while (or so I think—not that I ever heard what the Electoral Commission thought, but I did see it on its website). However, I wanted the party to approve the news first before sharing it with you all. The following is the overseas release which was rewritten from the one sent to domestic newsmedia.JY&A Consulting revamps logo for New Zealand’s Alliance PartyWellington, May 9 (JY&A Media) New Zealand political party, the Alliance, is looking more modern and relevant, thanks to its new logo by JY&A Consulting ().   Devised by JY&A Consulting’s Jack Yan, the new logo signifies a new beginning for the democratic socialist political party.   Mr Yan says that he has been a keen observer of general elections in the UK

I am sooo excited to say that Spring has finally hit the upper Midwest! This past week we had to put up with what I *hope* is a last blast of 30 degree weather and even snow just north of us, but today I was just out in our garden surveying the layout and deciding when and how to plant this year. (Hush all you readers from Texas that have had 80 degree weather for a month already! LOL).When the warmer weather hits we instantly start to crave fruits and salads. Something instinctive sends me to the store for lettuce and berries. Ha ha. So today I am digging through some of my warmer weather recipes and making menu's for the next couple weeks.If you have a garlic lover (as I do!) in the family, check out this recipe for a creamy garlic salad dressing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; if there's one thing you'd want to make and serve to your guests without thinking twice, its Paneer! No matter how you serve it, there's hardly a chance you'd go wrong. One such crowd favorite is the Tandoori Paneer Tikka, succulent cubes of paneer marinated and grilled or baked in a "tandoori oven", then served with grilled vegetables. But here, I have tried to take it one level up by making a spicy yoghurt marinade, then serving the Paneer Tikka with a home-made sweet and tangy mango dressing! Sounds inviting, right? Just wait till you've actually tasted it, maybe you wouldn't like leaving any for your guests!When Meeta announced the theme of Bollywood Cooking for her Monthly Mingle, she expected us to to dish out something that is fit for the s

Halloween costumes are all about dressing in style. To add more flare in your look, you can add more creative appeal so that you can have a good time, which makes them the most fun costumes out there. No matter how big or small you are, there is always a costume that fits your charm just to provide more attraction in your personality. Halloween is a better festival because people get a chance to dress up differently and elegantly in order to enjoy with the close family and friends.Choice of Costumes for Halloween The choice of costumes ranges from popular comic characters including Spiderman and Superman to more of traditional costumes such as ghosts, goblins, and witches. In the recent times, pirates (based on the movie character “Pirates of Caribbean”) have become really popular. Esp

So what is a Diva to wear, to an affair in the city that never sleeps, you ask? A fun, sassy metallic number! There has been at least one of these show stoppers in all the boutiques that I’ve hopped into. Not only is this look fun and flirty, it will also put your new fabulous tan front and center with light reflectors. I suggest you pair this look with metallic eyes, for an ultra modern night time look. Just make sure to match your metallic and stick with shimmer and not glitter! No 80s flashback here girls!

You had me at the avocado dressing.The folks at Cookthink won me over quick and easy. I am a sucker for a different, yet tasty burger. Especially one that lets me smear it with avocado goodness. What can I say, I'm a slut for them. (Avocados AND burgers, really.)I don't normally like my food salty, but it did indeed go really well with the creamy dressing - just like they said it would! We skipped the tomatoes, but I think their cool juiciness would have been a nice touch. Served with roasted red potatoes, this was a delightful dinner.My only suggestion would be to up this whole thing by half and I'll tell you why - these burgers shrink. Not one of the four burgers was very big in the end, and one was even very sadly small (but hideously cute!). So make more - or just plan on them being l

The French have come to town. But the zoom lenses seemed to be pointing towards newly demure Carla Bruni instead of Nicholas Sarkozy, in the very week when Carla's picture was up for auction at Christie's. Of course, Mr Sarkozy has been trying to rebuild credibility back in his own country, where, after election, he seemed to go into something of downward slide, surrounded by the glint of overbling. Visiting his near neighbours may be an interesting move, particularly as the Royals seemed to be able to dial up eleven on their own bling-ometer even to the extent of getting the horsemen in Windsor to wear special gold plated ceremonial suits - I wonder if that's a kind of Regal joke. I forgive Beckham's choice of golden football boots for the game against France, on account of his gaining hi

As I told you in my blog on the anti-radar exhibition (below) there was a short comic sketch for which a local man dressed up as an angel. In my blog on the St Nicolas' Day celebrations I told how all over the Czech Republic people dress up as angels and devils. This desire by Czech men to dress up as angels is an interesting national trait. British men like to dress up as women, as the Czechs have discovered from the numerous British stag nights that hit Prague. I have even queued behind a British man in a miniskirt on a cold January day at Prague airport. In both the Czech and British case there is clearly something about putting on frilly frocks that appeals, but the point is not to be feminine (for the British male) or asexual (for the Czech) but to remain masculine within the assumed

When I was going to college in Dayton, Ohio during the early 70's, I used to eat at a great cafeteria just outside of campus... the name of the joint?  You got me... but, besides the cool looking cups of jello that had marshmellows floating in them, I used to always order this one type of dressing as a side dish with whatever main dish I was having.  One of the servers on the line of food was named Tiny (he was a strapping black guy who must've weighed in at 250 lbs of love & joy).  One time, I stood there on the serving line, holding my plastic tray, staring at Tiny who was dishing up that wonderful melange of oysters, bacon and cornbread.  "Say Tiny, this dressing is great, who makes it?"  "Well now, we got this gal name o'

WOWZA, what a busy weekend! I haven't spent a weekend doing so many different things for a really long time.***I started out on Saturday morning by taking the brats to the local Superstore photo department to have their picture done. For those few of you who might actually have access to a Superstore, they do SUCH a nice job. better than anywhere else I've ever had their photos done. Dan even co-operated enough to manage a small smile. ***Saturday afternoon, I actually met a dear old friend of mine for drinks in town. We actually dated in junior high, and I hadn't seen him in 18 years. He's a computer programmer who gets to travel around a lot, (he actually lives in the Yukon) so I feel really honoured that we had the opportunity to get together.

The clothes make the man or so the saying goes. Regardless of your gender, there is some truth to the cliché. If you want to be a success, you need to dress for it. Here are some basics to keep in mind. Dressing for success really begins with color. Choose two, basic, colors that you can start to build your clothing selection upon. Most people choose black, brown, grey, navy or beige, but you can decide upon whatever color you like the best (just keep it simple). After you have chosen two simple colors, you can then head out (don't forget that wallet!) to those glistening retail stores. Once you arrive inside of your favorite clothing store, stop for a moment and look around you. You will notice that there are two types of clothes hanging on racks and folded upon shelves - classic and tre

Beets! Ah, how I love thee. I can still remember the first time I bit into a raw beet (with the tops still on) in front of Jeremy on a road trip. He got very wide-eyed and said "You can DO that?!" He likes raw beets too, but had only ever had them peeled and chopped in salads and things. He took a bite, and ended up eating more than I did. I've turned him to the raw side of the beet! ;) This salad, however, does not showcase raw beets. At first, I was thinking of making pan-fried beet fries. The more I cooked them, though, the more I thought having a sweet glaze on them would be divine... and it was!

Remember those evenings when you have had a rough day at work, end up coming late at home, and have nothing to cook except some cheese and a bag of salad greens gawking at you from your fridge!! believe it or not, I have had more than my share of such evenings, especially when it gets really late and I am determined to go to gym that day at any cost. For days like these, salads can act as a welcome retreat. And yet, using the same store-bought salad dressing every time can get kind of boring. So this time around, I set to make my own dressing, which obviously works way better than the ready-made ones because you choose the type and quantity of ingredients that go inside, and hence can make it to suit your taste requirements. The one we get from outside are always a bit more "vinegary" for

Everyone is talking about environmentally friendly methods of fighting weeds. It would seem as in many other fields, prevention is the best medicine. Established stands of turf that are thin or reedy are ripe for infestation by windblown weed seed and spore. Improved turf density and soil quality are the lawn’s best defense against encroachers.So as I hear it step one is to aerate. Well, we can do that. We have a number of options for aeration from the manual aerator called the Coring Type Hand Aerator for very small areas to the motorized Lesco Split Drive Drum Type Aerator.The next step is to over seed or top dress; mixing light soil, seed and fertilizer and spreading it over the lawn. Again we have a number of options available for this procedure. We have the people powered, push unit

This article is currently on the front page of CNN.com: “Military Air Space to be Holiday Express Lane” Ahead of the holiday travel crunch, President Bush ordered steps Thursday to reduce air traffic congestion and long delays that have left passengers stranded. President Bush, accompanied by acting FAA Administrator Robert Sturgell, outlined a plan to reduce air traffic congestion on Thursday. The most significant change is that the Pentagon will open unused military airspace from Florida to Maine to create “a Thanksgiving express lane” for commercial airliners. It will be open next week for five days — Wednesday through Sunday — for the busiest days of Thanksgiving travel. Bush said the problems with delayed flights are “clear to anybody who’s been traveling. Airports are very crowded. Travelers are being stranded and flights are delayed, sometimes with a full load of passengers sitting on the runway for hours. I can confidentally s

By: Andrea Morris Dressing for success does not have to be a big mystery or a terrible chore. There are some simple rules for dressing well. If you have the right pieces in your wardrobe, you can pull together a great look in no time! This is true for misses and for plus sizes. Try these tips and see just how great you can look with a little help from the fashion do's.Just about any figure can wear A-line plus dresses. The majority of women, whether they are plus size or not, are larger on the lower part of their body (hips and thighs) than they are on the upper half. The beauty of the A-line dress is that it is great for this body shape by fitting at the waist, but then floating away from the lower part of the body camouflaging any problem areas in the rear end and thighs. However, it also is great if you are larger on top. The A-line dress will give you more balance by adding volume to your lower half, giving your figure a curvier look.Every girl should have at least one little blac

HIJAB The term hijab, includes not only the covering of body, but methods of behavior before members of the same or opposite sex, promoting privacy for females and prohibiting intermingling sexes, to ensure modesty, decency, chastity and above all, respect and worship of Allah. Minor differences exist among the scholars regarding the actual number of the requirements because of varying methods used in codifying them. The ones mentioned here represent the ones agreed upon by the overwhelming majority of scholars and are all solidly backed by firm evidence taken from the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the practice of the Sahabah (the Companions). THE EXTENT OF COVERING The dress worn in public must cover the entire body except what has been specifically excluded, based upon the following proofs: Allah says: ” And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts from sin and not show of their adornment except only that which is apparent, and draw their h

Oct. 27, 2007 Among pint-sized cheerleaders, itty-bitty beauty queens, and in the malls of America, the sassy-sexy look isn't just for teens anymore. Some say younger girls are going shorter and barer -- taking their cues from characters like the Cheetah Girls, the Pussycat Dolls and the Bratz dolls -- and some observers are saying they've had enough.Celia Rivenbark, a mom who hit her breaking point with the shrinking fashions, wrote a book called, "Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank.""The moms are buying it, the dads are buying and maybe on some level the parents think, 'Oh that's cute, that's harmless, that's innocent' -- but I don't think it is," Rivenbank said. "The children are wearing them down."And psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere warns that how a child dresses as young as age three can have serious consequences. "You can be doing real damage to your child," Gardere said. "They are forming their taste at a v

LiveLeak.com - New Book: “Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank.” This is officially friggin awesome.  While we’re at it, I’d like to add, “Stop Dressing Your Kid In Designer Clothes.” and “Babies DO NOT Give a Crap About What They Wear.” I heart whoever wrote this book.

I love screensavers. I have the famous aquarium screensaver, some very serene nature ones and even ones that I've made myself with software I purchased long ago. They're fun and add a sense of play to my work. They often keep me relaxed. The only thing I don't like is getting screensavers and such from web sites I'm not familiar with. All to often, you'll instead wind up with a nasty trojan virus.Presently, you can grab a terrific CDEarth PC Screensaver CD that includes 101 holiday, nature, aquarium and more screensavers, plus 3,000 photos and backgrounds that cover all areas of interest. This is some fun stuff.

Halloween is fun for EVERYONE!  Little kids get to look like super heroes and eat their weight in candy and there are always plenty of costume parties at local taverns for the big kids to enjoy.  So what are you going to be this year?  If you’ve been too busy to think about it, I’ve got some ideas that will get your whole family ready for a frightfully fantastic evening.   Inspired by a lobster costume for babies, I think it would be great to do a Top Chef theme.  Put junior in a lobster costume and then assemble the perfect chef’s outfit for yourself with a toque, white coat and pants.  Grab a wooded spoon and perhaps put the baby lobster in a stock pot and you’re sure to win any costume contest   If you’ve got a couple of kids to dress up,

 You're thrilled about having a baby. But you're less than excited about the prospect of giving up your hip clothes in favor of tent dresses and sweats. Fear not — with a few simple wardrobe tweaks, you can be a hip mama. "The key is to stick with the same kinds of things you wear when you're not pregnant," advises fashion designer Liz Lange. If you wear a lot of black and that makes you feel confident and comfortable, then by all means, don't start wearing pink just because you're pregnant. If you prefer solid colors to prints, choose a favorite neutral — say, gray, black, or khaki — and build your wardrobe around that. And if bows aren't your thing, then be glad that the days are gone when virtually every maternity top and dress was adorned with one! Borrow before you

This is Part I in a four-part series designed to inform servers on how they’re fucking up. You can read Part II here, Part III here or Part IV here. Last March, I wrote a four-part series informing the public how to be better customers and filling them in on societal laws that govern the restaurant industry that they’re either blissfully ignorant of or just too fucking stupid to follow. I took some time off from being a waiter to work on a lot of things. It’s my senior year of college and I’d raise my GPA, build a portfolio for when I go out into the “real world” and just plain have fun with my friends before I’m…well…never going to see them again. I’ve got a lot more free time now, so I tend to eat out a little more frequently than before. And I’ve noticed one thing: A lot of servers have no fucking clue how to serve a table. So, just as I felt convicted to explain to the meathead-customers how to act in fucking publi

I sleep late most of the time and usually I'll be hungry by 9pm as I take my dinner very early with the kids. It's not very good to take supper so usually I'll take salad if I really can bear with the hunger. In this salad bowl you see, I had lettuce, onions, tomatoes and some leftover Chuka Kurage (Marinated Jellyfish).For this dressing, I mixed the following together and it's ready to be use ...1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Sesame Seed Oil1 tablespoon Maple Syrup1/2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juicea toss of Sesame SeedsNote:You can use honey or sugar instead of Maple Syrup. If you find it too sour to your liking, add more. http://feeds.feedburner.com/wokkingmum

There is a reason why my dad likes calling me a rabbit, I love vegetables and I especially love delicious green salads. One of my favorite combinations consists of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, candied walnuts, craisins, corn, feta cheese and homemade poppy seed salad dressing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. You absolutely have to try this dressing, I guarantee you are likely to fall in love with it. In fact, often times when I am asked to bring a salad to a party, they always request I bring this dressing along. Poppy Seed Salad Dressing small sliver of onion (a little less than 1/16th of a medium onion) 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons dry mustard 2 teaspoons salt 2/3 cup white vinegar 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons poppy seeds In a blender, puree the sliver of onion. Add sugar, salt, mustard and vinegar. Blend well. Pour oil slowly into the mixture and then blend thoroughly. Add poppy seeds. Blend once more. Refrigerate.

Rudy Giuliani continues to use his only perceived strength in every conceivable fund-raising manner. Tuesday Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd called Giuliani out for planning a fund-raiser that asks each guest to donate at least $9.11. Giuliani's campaign claims they did not organize the event and have no further comment, but the so-called "event-organizer," a self-proclaimed long-time friend of Giuliani's named Abraham Sofaer, referred all questions to Giuliani's camp.It's not shocking that Giuliani continues to fall back on 9/11 in every speech he gives, every campaign stop he makes, and every fundraiser he pockets. What is shocking is how many Americans are eager to jump right in with the former mayor.Beating your chest and claiming that people should vote for you because you were mayor when terrorists killed 3,000 people does not endear you to the public. How is this any different than if the mayor of Nagasaki ran for re-election on a platform of how well he reacted to thous

I got this J.Crew dress as a gift and as I have kind of a prom ("kind of", b/c I'm living in Poland) coming in January, I thought I could wear it then. BUT here comes the dilemma- is it possible to make this lovely but modest dress look stylish, chic and sexy? I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out and suggest some shoes, jewelry, etc... Great basic, there is a lot you can do with dress. You can of course go simple and classic with a pearl necklace and t-strap shoes but that is so *yawn.* boring. The key is not to make this look like you totally rebelled against the dress but you can certainly give this dress a high fashion makeover very simply. I would go glam rock with it by adding a funky wide belt, studded and stoned jewelry, and purple smokey eyes (to tie in the purple of the dress). Accessories from Net-a-Porter and cosmetics from Sephora. These are of course inspiration pieces, you find items like this for less all over.
