Wisconsin 103, North Dakota 85

Frank Kaminsky sets school scoring record in win

Badgers forward Frank Kaminsky smiles as he runs off the floor after setting a school record with 43 points.

Badgers forward Frank Kaminsky smiles as he runs off the floor after setting a school record with 43 points.

Madison — Bo Ryan's 13th team at Wisconsin is beginning to look dramatically different from any of its predecessors.

The 12th-ranked Badgers can spread the basketball court with five scoring threats at any time, drain three-pointers from any angle and penetrate to score or collapse the defense and find an open teammate.

Ryan's team also can surrender points at a dizzying pace.

Case in point: UW's 103-85 nonconference victory over North Dakota on Tuesday night at the Kohl Center, sparked by Frank Kaminsky's program-record 43-point performance.

The junior forward scored at will against North Dakota (1-1) by hitting 6 of 6 three-pointers, 16 of 19 shots overall and 5 of 6 free-throw attempts.

"When those first couple of shots went in I said to myself: 'I'm feeling it,'" Kaminsky said. "I kept shooting and it kept going in."

Kaminsky broke the record of 42 points, set by Ken Barnes in 1965 vs. Indiana and matched by Michael Finley in 1994 against Eastern Michigan.

His previous high was 19, set last season at Illinois. He surpassed that total with 7 minutes 6 seconds left in the first half when he scored inside and set the record with 1:13 left in the game.

Kaminsky, fresh off a 16-point, eight-rebound performance at UW-Green Bay, entered the night averaging 3.2 points in 70 games at UW, including 8.7 in the first three games this season. He raised his scoring average to a team-best 17.3.

"In the first half they let him roam the three-point line," said sophomore forward Sam Dekker, who added 19 points, five rebounds and four assists. "But we drove and kicked and found him. He was spotting up and hitting.

"He was scoring back to the basket, face-up, three-point shots."

Kaminsky almost didn't get the record, however.

He came out of the game with 4:37 left, 41 points in the books and UW leading by 16 — which drew boos from the student section.

After several players worked on Ryan to put Kaminsky back in, Ryan did, with 3 minutes left. He came back out with 2:01 remaining, went back in with 1:27 left and got the mark with 1:13 left.

"I had no idea until the players on the bench pleaded with me to give him one more possession," Ryan said, noting he did because of the memory of his father becoming upset when the younger Ryan didn't get a chance to set a scoring record in college. "I said one more possession. If the team didn't get him the ball, that was it. And guess what? They got him the ball."

Kaminsky had no idea why the students booed when he first left the game and no idea why his coach treated him like a yo-yo.

"I heard them boo and I was laughing," he said. "I had no idea I was close to a record.

"I was curious as to why he kept taking me out and putting me back in. I figured it out after. It was fun."

Not so much on the defensive end.

Last season UW held its opponent to 50 or fewer points in 11 of 35 games and to 60 or fewer points in 27 games. On Tuesday, the Badgers surrendered 45 points in the first half as guard Troy Huff (Brookfield Academy) scored 26 of his 37 points.

North Dakota shot 62.5% from three-point range (5 of 8) and 50% overall (19 of 38).

Huff, the son of former UW women's standout Theresa Huff, was held to 11 points after halftime, on 4-of-7 shooting, however.

"They're probably going to tell us that we played bad defense, which we did," Kaminsky said when asked how the result might be viewed. "We've got to get better on defense.

"We scored a lot of points and we were efficient."

Led by Kaminsky, UW hit 12 of 20 three-pointers (60%) and 35 of 59 shots overall (59.3%) in hitting the 100-point mark for the first time since scoring 105 against Eastern Illinois on Dec. 28, 1995.

"We did play some bad defense but credit to them, too," said guard Traevon Jackson, who contributed 14 points, eight assists, one turnover and five rebounds in 33 minutes. "That guy Huff hit some really good shots."

Not as many as Kaminsky.

Top Jewish Republicans funding Iran sanctions think tank

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The three top donors to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the leading think tank advocating for Iran sanctions, are top Republican Jewish fundraisers.

A review of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ financial filings published this week by Salon, an online magazine, found that between 2008 and 2011, Bernard Marcus, the founder of Home Depot, had given the foundation nearly $11 million; Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire, had given $3.6 million; and Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate, had donated about $1.5 million.

All three are active in the Republican Jewish Coalition and donate to other Jewish causes.

Marcus, who filmed an anti-Obama ad for the Republican Jewish Coalition last year, helped found the Israel Democracy Institute; Adelson is a major funder of Birthright Israel; and Singer is a board member of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

The foundation has taken a lead role in recent years in drafting Iran sanctions legislation, although its officials have mostly stayed out of the battles between Congress and the Obama administration over how and when to apply them. The sanctions legislation has passed with strong bipartisan and White House backing, and foundation officials have worked with lawmakers in both parties to pass it and have consulted with administration departments on implementation..

After its establishment in 2001, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies had bipartisan support, but it lost a number of its Democratic backers in 2008 when a similarly named group founded by foundation President Clifford May ran ads targeting congressional Democrats for not favoring expanded government espionage powers.

The Complete Mesillat Yesharim

In Two Versions: Dialogue and Thematic

Add To Cart
Of the many works of Rabbi Moshe Hayyim Luzzatto, Mesillat Yesharim stands out as his magnum opus. Ever since it was first published in 1740 in Amsterdam, it has enjoyed great renown and was eventually adopted as a basic text for ethical study. Throughout the long history of its publication, Mesillat Yesharim fell prey to many printers' errors. A breakthrough in its restoration occurred with the remarkable discovery by Ofeq Institute of a manuscript of an earlier version in the form of a dialogue, in the author's own hand. With this discovery and the aid of the first edition, Mesillat Yesharim was restored to its original state.

Over the last decade, Ofeq Institute has published both versions of Mesillat Yesharim, the Dialogue and the Thematic, in Hebrew, twin editions. For although the two versions share the same content, they each supplement elements missing in the other. Of pivotal importance are the added chapters at the beginning of the Dialogue Version. These shed light on the profound nature of the work as a whole. It has now become common practice to study the two versions together, for the Dialogue Version reveals the brilliance of Mesillat Yesharim for all who seek to deepen their understanding of it.

Ofeq has now published a new Hebrew-English edition of both versions in one volume utilizing an innovative facing-column format. With its completely new translation, invaluable commentary, Introduction and Epilogue (Bein Hamesilot), and extensive cross-referencing, this new edition allows the brilliance of the original to shine through.

After 2013, in 2014 was the second year in a row in which coffee saw retail volume decline. This negative performance was not a result of the economic crisis as was the case earlier in the review period, but a consequence of market saturation.

The Dirty Show 14 @ Bert’s Warehouse, Detroit

Erotica // Thursday, 31 Jan 2013

The Dirty Show, leaves its indelible cultural mark on the Valentine's Day experience for its 14th straight year in Detroit at Bert’s Warehouse. Advance sell outs with an attendance of over 10,000 people, has made the exhibition of the world's most important and best attended Erotic Art events. Continually evolving This year’s Dirty newcomers highlights.

Gregory de la Haba’s Equus Maximus. After years of begging and ingratiation, Dirty Show creator Jerry Vile has convinced NY artist, Gregory de la Haba to display his controversial sculptural installation, "Equus Maximus." De La Haba’s unforgetable installation caused a stir at the 2008 Art Basel in Miami, will be the the centerpiece of the 14th version of The Dirty Show. Curator Vile has called the taxidermy and sculpture based piece, the best piece of contemporary erotica I have ever seen.

- Golden Gals Gone Wild. Erotica based on the 80s TV sitcom starring Bea Arthur and Betty White hit a cultural nerve. The two wildly successful sellout shows (LA and Miami) curated by Lenora Claire were written about in everything from Vanity Fair to National Enquirer. Now Lenora is bringing the same theme that was featured on TMZ, NBC News, NPR theme to the Dirty Show®.

- Chicago’s Stage Door Johnnies. Viva LaMuerte, and Canada’s Roxi Delite are just some of the stage performers and visual artists at this years Dirty Show. Local talent include include transexual diva, DeAngla Show Shannon and the electrifying Benson Twins. Performance has pretty much become non-stop, with polysexual performances and stage arts throughout the entire evening. Interactive pieces include NY Performance Artist Cora Lynn Rose, who will be doing, nothing, as she typically stays in one position for hours.

- -Olivia De Berardinis. This will be the first time Olivia’s art work has been seen in Detroit (well outside of the pages of Playboy where she has been the heir to Vargas since 2004). Considered by many to be the preeminent Pin Up Artist in the World, the art of Olivia is iconic and highly sought after by collectors.

Official Dirty Show website:

Friday & Saturday, February 8 & 9 7PM to 2AM - 21 and over only Sunday, February 12 Noon- 5PM 18 and over Thursday February 14th (Valentines Day) 7PM till 1AM Friday & Saturday, February 15 -16 – 7PM to 2AM - 18 and over Tickets $20 Advance $25 at the Door

November 1st

ARIES- You can't just assume that everyone else gets you today -- it's up to you to be as clear as you can! Communication problems that start today are sure to linger, so nip them in the bud when possible.

TAURUS- Nothing really makes sense today -- until you start digging deeper, that is! Make sure that your thinking cap is on while you try your best to get to the bottom of this mystery. You can do it!

GEMINI-Your amazing energy is filling you up with great ideas and playful ambitions -- in fact, you may find yourself flirting with folks you'd never have thought were in your league! Have fun with it

CANCER- You have got to keep the small details in mind today as you go about your business -- otherwise, you're likely to have to go back and do it all over again! Get some help focusing, if you need it.

LEO- Listen to what your friends have to say today -- it's important! Things are likely to get a little weird for you before much time elapses, but their good advice can keep you from falling.

VIRGO- You need to resolve something related to your work or career today -- now is the best time for it! Your energy is just right for making your resume shine or for making new connections.

LIBRA- Things just feel good today -- though you may not be able to pinpoint why. Don't worry too much about it! Sometimes you just have to enjoy the good energy and let things happen.

SCORPIO- Take extra care with all matters today, but especially those involving small details; they are easy to mess up or to overlook, and if you do, things may fall apart pretty quickly. Be on guard!

SAGITTARIUS- You need to take the initiative and move things forward -- otherwise, who can say where the day will end up? Your actions carry much more weight than usual, so try to keep them positive.

CAPRICORN- You are feeling somewhat less able to focus than you would like -- so take a walk, or take off early. You may not be able to do much about it, which could mean it's time to switch to more social tasks.

AQUARIUS- You need to show off who you truly are today -- even if you're not entirely sure yourself! Just be natural and see what happens. Uniqueness is highly prized on a day like today

PISCES- You should find the day to be crammed with activities -- even if you had left your schedule empty on purpose! Just roll with it, as more of them will be fun than boring, and that makes for a good day!

Discussing Your Child’s Report Card

report cardAs the first school semester draws to an end, our kids will be coming home with their report cards.  According to a study conducted by Sylvan Learning, 66% of North American teachers say they have been contacted by parents who were “unpleasantly surprised” by their child’s report card.

So there you are, your child hands you his or her report card with either a big beaming smile or a lop-sided unsure smile on their face.  Often there are grades that you did not expect, and most often it’ll be the ones that are lower than you expected that you’ll want to learn more about.

So what do you do?  You’ll need to go to the sources and those are your child and your teacher.

Start with Your Child

Find some private time where you can sit down and talk through the grades with your child uninterrupted.  Allow enough time for a relaxed discussion.

Learn More About Each Subject

Take the time to learn what activities your child completed in each subject area.  Ask them what they found enjoyable and what they found more challenging.  Talk about what they have learned.  Ask them if they were happy with the grade given for each subject and if they think it’s a fair reflection on how they did in class and for tests.

Review the Comments

Then take some time to yourself to read through the comments provided by the teacher.  Make note of any concerns and recommendations provided by the teacher.

Set Your Goals

Take some time to think through what goals your child should set for their next report card.  Discuss these goals with your child and think through tactics that may help them achieve these goals.

Meet the Teacher

Teachers welcome the opportunity to meet with parents, so don’t hesitate to set up an appointment to discuss the report card, the goals you have in mind, present your suggested tactics and to listen to recommendations, and any changes that need to be made, from your teacher.  Parents and teachers that work together often find that they can help their kids’ achieve their goals easier, as it’s coming from both fronts: at school and at home.

Set Your Plan in Motion

Put together a plan of achievable tactics that will help your child make progress.  Remember, that this is a plan that needs constant attention.  Discuss it with your child, taking both the comments from your teacher and your child on board.  Use this plan on a weekly basis to check that you are following the points you have discussed and are working towards improving.

Check in

Keep talking with your child about their school work and keep in contact with their teacher to find out how they are progressing.  Listen to the recommendations from the teacher and make adjustments where needed.

“Little and often” helps.  Children don’t learn from “cramming” for two hours before a test.  Make sure their learning is constant and learned in easily achievable bite-size chunks.  Be consequent about finishing homework on time, studying for tests a little bit every day, rather than the night before, and talk to your child about how important school and learning is to you and them.

Praise and Reward

Don’t forget to praise your child for work they’ve done very well in and the effort they put into their work.  We all like to be rewarded, so consider giving your child a reward for achieving their goals.

Recipe for Cucumber, Onion, and Parsley Salad with Feta Cheese

Cucumber, Onion, and Parsley Salad with Feta Cheese
This simple Cucumber, Onion, and Parsley Salad with Feta Cheese has four of my favorite summer ingredients!

(Updated and added to Recipe Favorites May 2010.) I don't remember where I originally found the idea for this simple cucumber, onion, and parsley salad with feta cheese and lemon vinaigrette, but it ended up being a flavor combination I loved, and when I made it again recently I decided it was time to update the photos. This salad is a great way to use cucumbers from the garden (when you start getting them!) but when I don't have garden cucumbers, I use mild European cucumbers or small Persian cucumbers. If you're not sure about raw red onion, soak the onion in cold water for a few minutes to remove some of the bite. I used flat Italian Parsley from my herb garden for this, but curly parsley would work. I think simple fresh-tasting cucumber salads like this make a perfect warm-weather lunch, or serve this as a side dish for grilled meat.

If you're using regular grocery store cucumbers, it would be best to peel all the skin, but I had small cucumbers with thin skins, so I left a strip of green showing. If your cucumbers have large seeds, scrape them out with a spoon before you chop the cucumbers.

I chopped the red onion into quite small pieces. I love raw red onion, but you can soak the onion in cold water for a few minutes and then drain it well if you want less bite to the onion.

I used about 1/2 cup chopped flat Italian parsley, but you can use more parsley if you're a parsley fan.

I used a generous 1/4 cup of my favorite feta cheese.

Combine the chopped cucumber, diced red onion, and chopped parsley, then whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and toss with the salad.

Then toss in the feta cheese, season the salad with fresh ground black pepper, and serve. This will keep in the fridge overnight, but I like it best when it's freshly made.

Cucumber, Onion, and Parsley Salad
(about 2-3 servings, Kalyn jotted down this recipe from somewhere years ago, but has no idea where it originally appeared.)

1 large European cucumber or 2 medium Persian cucumbers (or use regular grocery store cucumbers but peel the skin and scrape out the seeds)
1/4 red onion, finely diced (or more to taste)
1/2 cup chopped parsley (I used flat Italian parsley, but curly parsley will work)
1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese
2 T best quality extra virgin olive oil
1 T fresh lemon juice
fresh ground black pepper to taste

Peel cucumber, leaving some strips of green peel if your cucumbers don't have thick skins. Cut into fourths lengthwise and if the cucumber has large seeds, scrape out seeds with the tip of a spoon. Cut pieces into thinner strips and chop cucumbers into pieces less than 1/2 inch square.

Dice onion into small pieces. (If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the onions in cold water for about 10 minutes, then drain well and pat dry.) Pat Feta cheese dry with a paper towel, then crumble into pieces. Wash parsley and spin dry or dry with paper towels, then chop coarsely.

In large bowl, combine cucumbers, onions, and parsley. Whisk together olive oil and lemon juice and stir into vegetable mixture. Sprinkle feta cheese over and stir gently a few times. Season with fresh ground black pepper and serve immediately.

This recipe could be varied endless ways, with tomatoes, olives, capers, blue cheese, mint, and balsamic vinegar being a few things that come to mind as possible substitutions or additions.

South Beach Suggestions:
This is a perfect salad for any phase of the South Beach Diet. This would taste great with something grilled like Marinated Flank Steak, Rosemary Mustard Grilled Chicken, or Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lemon and Capers.

  1. The new banner is gorgeous. Talented indeed!

    Oy yeah, salad looks good, too. I am soooo looking forward to summer!

  2. It is SO cold in Utah...but this salad looks great! It gives me hope for the summer:)

  3. Rand does an excellent job in layout and design, your blog always looks fantastic!
    I'm not a salad person, but glad that you brought up the soup's link; next week I have to prepare some soups for someones. Now I'm planing to do either your spit pea or lentil soup. Thanks!
    The last thing... is olive oil entitled to enter WHB? If yes, it will be my theme for next week, if no, it's fine, I have another thing in my mind. Thanks in advance.

  4. Feta and cucumber always go so well together - great and simple recipe idea!

  5. Katie, I will pass it on to Rand. Thanks. Me too about the summer.

    Maria, I want it to be summer right now.

    Gattina, olive oil is great for WHB.

    Pille, some of my favorite ingredients!

  6. Longing-for-Summer - what an absolutely perfect name. We are having our week or so of winter in Dallas now, actually froze our backyard fountain!
    I do like the salad!

  7. What a pretty salad!!! I love the colors. I'm TOTALLY gonna make this as it looks so good!

  8. Well I'm not longing for summer, it's here right now. If you could melt a bit of the ice and send it to Oz to help with the drought, that would be much appreciated. The price of all foodstuffs is going through the roof.

  9. I love herbs: cilantro and parsley in this case. I cannot believe I haven't joined the Weekend Herb Blogging yet: I will soon I promise.

    Thanks for all the tidbits on nutrition... it is nice to review/learn.

  10. I love this salad!!! I have to prepare it!

  11. P.S. Rand always does a great job with this site!

  12. Tanna, we're having our months of winter here. Only a week or so would be great!

    Naudee, thanks. Hope you like it.

    Neil, you can have as much ice as you'd like from here!

    Talk of tomatoes, welcome.

    Paz, isn't Rand just the best! Do try the salad, I loved it. Just don't overdo it on the onions!

  13. Another dressing possibility is to use some Le Parisien dressing which you can get in the stores locally in SLC. I don't know about its availability outside of this region but it is a fabulous vinaigrette.

    It might not fit in with your dietary requirements though. Haven't checked.

  14. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

  15. Chris, Le P. dressing is great for the South Beach diet! I eat it all the time, but I don't know if you can get it in other places. I'm guessing probably not.

  16. Your salad looks great. I'm also doing a salad for this weeks WHB - I feel my body needs a healthy break after Christmas!

  17. LOL - I'm eating a similar salad as I read this (mine has spinach, lettuce and red kidney beans)! It's definitely one of my fav. salads! Great photos!

  18. Now I know why I went out and bought all those salad ingredients last week! This salad is similar to a Greek one I make, and I LOVE it! Yes, soupls and stews go better with salads - even in the winter! Thanks for the reminder - we all needed it!

    Love the blog!

  19. Kalyn this is the sister salad of Koshimbir an indian salad without feta.

  20. I made this salad the other day for my wife and kids, they just loved it. My fussy 8 year old son watch me make it and said it look good before I made the dressing. He loved it, he had 2 servings of it. We lucky if we can get him to eat one serving of veggies. The other day he asked if he could have it for breakfast. I did add tomates and greek olives to it. Even tried a lime dresing with it. Not bad, but my wife and I perfer the lemon. I making it again this Saturday for a meetin lunchen my wife is going to. Tttring some of lyour greek recipes this Friday. Wish me luck Thanks

  21. Sheldon, so glad to hear you liked it! And even happier that your son will eat it too.

  22. I love how you take simple things and make them so flavorful - the parsley is a great addition.

  23. This looks great. I have cucumbers that were on sale. I am going to try this with less onion!

  24. Oh, I'm all for this salad, Kalyn! I'm not eating dairy right now, but the rest is perfect. :-) I'll have it today as part of my lunch.

  25. hey have you tried adding a teaspoon of roasted peanuts to this salad, it tastes good,because I tried it.

  26. I love this simple salad. Love the new banner too.

  27. This is such a fresh, flavorful salad. Thanks for the great tip about soaking the red onion. I do like the flavor of onion, but am not always that keen on the stringency of the raw onion taste.

  28. hi kalyn
    i just started south beach yesterday. my doc told me pre diabetes and that this diet would reverse it. i hate eggs... so i know i am in trouble already any suggestions beside yogurt..which i love.
    i am so glad to have found this site .

  29. Kathy, I don't have any great ideas for breakfast that don't include eggs, but on the recipe archives page for Eggs and Breakfast Dishes there are a few ideas that other readers have left in the comments. Good luck!

  30. Thanks for the onion tip. I'm going to have to try that next time I have a "nuclear onion."

  31. I love that flavor combo too. Parsley is great as/for salads. Yum!

I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

Jumped on the Bandwagon

February 10, 2008

Sorry for the delayed breakfast – I had a busy morning!!

I have 3 tests and 2 quizzes this week, so I knew I had to get my act together and get the bulk of my studying done early this morning. Like I say, always do your most important task first! 6-10 a.m. are good hours for me to focus. I’m much more distracted in the afternoon and evenings. So I got a ton done.

Started the day at 6:00 with the Good Earth tea I found at TJ’s yesterday. I liked it and it definitely did NOT need any sweetener, but it was too sweet by the end!! I think I need to steep for 3 minutes and take the tea bag out rather than let it sit in there. But so cool I got to have sweet tea with nothing artificial. I tried to buy the Yogi Vanilla that someone else recommended at EarthFare, but the husband literally took it out of my hands and said NO you have ENOUGH TEA! :( Poor me.

Whipped up some oatmeal around 8. I like to let my hunger build on the weekends when I get up early and don’t usually eat right away. It’s almost like the suspense makes me enjoy breakfast more!

Banana, flax, raisins, peanut butter, cinnamon. I actually missed the almond butter today – I think it’s better in oatmeal because it’s slightly sweet. Too bad it’s also slightly expensive!

Plus candy cane tea

We were going to save exercise for late this afternoon for a change, but around 10:00 when I finished studying Chemistry, I looked out the window and saw a bright blue sky and got a craving to run right then! So it was decided we should go running then, and we were off. Did a quick 4.2 miles. I LOVE running in warmer weather! I feel so much more in control of my body than I do when it’s cold and I’m stiff and robotic.

Grocery Shopping

After our run and showers, we ran to EarthFare for produce. I had to jump on the bandwagon and try these Sunshine burgers (review below) and hemp milk! Here’s the rest of our weekly groceries:

Hemp milk, burgers, graham sticks, spinach, apples, pear, zucchini, asparagus, bananas, an orange, bell pepper, English cucumber, a sweet potato, bulk bulgur, and broccoli.

Big disappointment – the broccoli is all mushy and we have to go back to return it. And another big surprise: as I was reviewing our receipt, I realized that our most expensive item was the asparagus! We didn’t pay attention to the label and though it was $2.50 but it was $2.50/LB – which meant we got $4. Ugggg. We better enjoy it tonight!!

And I had to put in a shot of our reusable B.Happy bags – love them!

SO of course I had to try the Sunshine burgers for lunch. One problem I have with veggie burgers, as you all might guess, is that almost all brands are made with onions. Yuck!! So when I saw these weren’t, I was SOOO excited! Well, I think there is something oniony in them because as soon as I opened the oven to take it out I could smell them. The ingredients say it’s just sunflower seeds, brown rice, carrots, and “herbs” so I’m wondering if herbs means onion flakes or powder (which is WRONG to say and if I had a real allergy they could be in huge trouble!)

Overall, I liked the burger. It was quite strange though. Although there were no mushrooms in it, I thought it had an overwhelming mushroom flavor. But thankfully I like mushrooms! I stuffed half of it into a small pita with cuc, red pepper, spinach, zucchini and a laughing cow cheese. It was a lot better in the pita with these flavors than it was plain.

The other half with leftover veggies

TJ’s greek yogurt with flax and jam. I LOVED this. It’s a little less tangy than Fage and maybe not quite as thick? Too bad I don’t go to TJ’s every week or I’d get this more.

And a delicious ruby red!

From above (I can finally drink water again!! 2 months of trying to keep my body temp. up are coming to a close)

This lunch was 500 kcal.

This Afternoon

We’ve definitely got a walk planned in this beautiful weather. I also might need to return the broccoli. And I have cleaning around the house to do. And Stats. And I need to get these FAQs done! Better get moving. What would I do without ToDoist!?

Looks like a great start to the day! I’m glad it’s warm were you are, because it’s snowy and 5* without the wind chill in Michigan! I can’t wait for vacation! Looks like I’ll be on the treadmill again today…

2 Kelly T February 10, 2008 at 2:43 pm

Matt- way to regulate. My boyfriend is obsessed with tea, i should start saying no too because my cupboards are getting too full, (so imagine what his cupboards look like!)\

Kath- i cant believe you dont like onions, that blows my mind! They are my fave!

I might have missed this, but why couldnt you drink water? i mean, you drink a ton of tea?

3 Rebecca February 10, 2008 at 2:46 pm

Kath and everyone: I drink a lot of water, but it can get boring when everyone else is drinking diet drinks. I drink hot tea in the winter, but does any one have suggestions for what to drink when you want a cool drink, preferably not artificially flavored.

A second question I have is its very frustrating making recipes and seeing that I need 1/2 tsp of 3 different spices that I don’t have. I am on a student budget, so its not practical for me to pay $4 for a whole spice jar for something I will use a few times only. What do you all do?

4 Jen February 10, 2008 at 2:54 pm

HI Kath! I just have to say that I just loved your B.Happy bags so much, I had to buy some of my own! I ended up with the Doty bags, although I would have gotten the same as you if they hadn’t been out of stock at the time I ordered. I didn’t think of going to their website, but hit up reusablebags.com. All is well, though, and I have gotten so many compliments on my bags!

I love your blog, by the way, so thank you for all of the time and effort you put into this! :)

5 Jen February 10, 2008 at 2:58 pm

Rebecca, most grocery stores offer small containers of spices for about $1.oo, in little green bottles. They sometimes even have a store brand that’s cheaper. Or else check in the natural section of your grocery store. They usually have a bunch of spices that you can buy in bulk, where a little bit shouldn’t set you back a lot of money.

6 Lynn February 10, 2008 at 3:01 pm

Kath, your food always looks so pretty!

My spaghetti squash is always so watery, how do you prevent that? Thanks :)

Also, what is your opinion of chicken sausages that have casings, etc. Are those casings not healthy?

7 evangeline February 10, 2008 at 3:02 pm

kath–how many minutes do your runs usually last? do you try to go any certain speed? have you ever run a 1/2 marathon or marathon?

8 jessica February 10, 2008 at 3:06 pm

just wanted to say thanks for posting your grocery pics and list!!!! also wanted to let you know i tried a variation on your mushroom soup and it was absolutely incredible-something i will definately make many times again… hope you are enjoying your sunday. it is 8degrees out here and super windy and snowing and you can’t see anything… i’m staying in and cooking all day…

9 Lynn February 10, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Sorry full of questions today!! For food calorie counts do you mostly use calorie king or caloriecounter? or something else? I remember you once saying to another reader caloriekings sweet potatos were off.

Lol about the z’s comment!

10 Karen Downing February 10, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Again, I am amazed at how much good fun you can get for 500 calories! Bummer about the broccoli. I’ll check out the TJ’s greek yogurt later today. Thanks for the tip!

11 Natalie February 10, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Jen, thanks for the tip about the spices. I was also wondering about that as I am in the same situation as Rebecca.

Kath and the husband: I “loled” when I read about Matt regulating your tea supply. I am typically the “regulator” with family and friends.

FYI, I love that most of your readers also read Jenna’s blog. (Especially when it comes to you both reviewing new products -Hemp milk and Sunshine burgers- after reading one another’s blog!)

About the Aveeno skin product: Has Aveeno been making that specific product for the face for a while? I have an aversion to new facial products…

12 Kath February 10, 2008 at 3:14 pm

I could only drink HOT water and tea – I was just too cold ALL the time. So I guess I should have said “I can finally drink water from the tap again” :)

I love True Lemon and Lime to spice things up without any artificial sweetener. The packets contain only crystallized lemon/lime – basically its just dried. Adding it to water tastes JUST like you’re drinking a freshly squeezed one. Ironically, you can find them in the sugar aisle (but there’s no sugar!)

As for spices, you can find a spice rack at stores like Bed Bath and Beyond for $15-20 and they come with a wide variety of spices to start with. It’s much cheaper than buying them individually at the store.

I think spaghetti squash is a little watery by nature, but I would put it in a colander and press it to remove as much as you can. I don’t really know about the chicken sausages, but we like a few of the all-natural brands. I don’t think you can remove the casings on them though because they are pre-cooked.

Run time depends on the mileage, but today’s was about 40 minutes. I run about 9-10 minute miles outside – I’m not fast! And due to my history of food problems, I’ve decided it’s probably best not to train for a marathon, although I want to. The most I feel comfortable running on a regular basis is 5-7 miles. I hope to do a 10K one day though. I try to run no more than 3x a week to avoid putting too much stress on my joints.

SO glad you liked the mushroom soup!! it’s one of my favorites too :)

I use CK 99% of the time. I only refer to Calorie Count.com if I have a new or strange food – to double check things out.

That’s exactly why I want to continue to post calorie counts – it’s so eye-opening to see how much food it is.

13 Lynn February 10, 2008 at 3:23 pm

Thanks follow up and excuse my lack of cooking knowledge (there is way to much to learn!) how do you squeeze spaghetti squash?

14 Kath February 10, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Just push on it! Put it in a mesh colander and just press it until most of the water comes out.

15 Susan February 10, 2008 at 3:25 pm

I find it a pain in the butt to always have to microwave water to make a cup of hot tea and it gets so cold soon anyway, do you have a kettle? What did you do at work?

Also, I bought the natural pb and find it getting kinda hard in the middle, do you restir throughout or just once at the beginning? Thanks!

16 Brianne February 10, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Yay for hempmilk!

17 Amber February 10, 2008 at 3:46 pm

I just bought Tazo tea bags in PASSION flavor and they are amazing. i drink this as hot tea and as iced tea with either splenda or raw natural cane surgar. worth a try!

18 VeggieGirl February 10, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Kath, I’m completely elated that you bought hempmilk AND sunshine burgers!! two of my ultimate favorite food-finds :0D

Oh and I had oatmeal this morning too, but with MY favorite type of nut-butter: hazelnut :0)

Looks like all your meals so far today have been stellar – good luck with all of your studying this afternoon!!

19 Kelly T February 10, 2008 at 4:24 pm

Ah, gotcha, Kath, thanks. i was thinking something medical, that you weren’t allowed to drink water. I guess i read a little too much into it. i gotta get me some of those bags, too!

As a suggestion for water, I put real lemon in my water and i also looove tonic water with some fruit in it, (i know Kath does too!) the bubbles keep my mouth busy! :)

20 Katschi February 10, 2008 at 4:35 pm

Be still my heart….grocery pictures!
Thank you!

21 sarah February 10, 2008 at 4:47 pm

to rebecca — also whole foods has bulk spices so you can buy TINY amounts of a spice if you want to, ie just enough for whatever recipe. i often do this if it’s an exotic spice and i don’t want a whole container of it (my spice rack overflows as it is).

and kath — yes the TJs is right by the loop (where i ate pizza for dinner last night!). southern season is a little farther down 15-501. whole foods is just one block down from TJs on franklin street. i am about to head to both places right now :)

22 Tina February 10, 2008 at 5:09 pm

We almost registered for your placemats at C&B this morning. Very cute! :)

23 jrf February 10, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Kath, I don’t like onions either…I have found the Morningstar Farms Vegan Grillers to be a good faux burger option. I get them at Trader Joe’s.

24 tvk February 10, 2008 at 5:25 pm

about being cold all the time, I have experienced this myself. I have circulation issues (Reynaud’s disease), but when I was underweight, it was particularly bad. I’m not trying to imply anything about your bodyweight, Kath, but it’s something to keep in mind when we’re all trying to think about balanced, healthy living, and doing what’s best for us.

25 K February 10, 2008 at 5:43 pm

tvk – I can relate. When I was really underweight, I was always cold as well. Now that I’ve put on a few healthy pounds, my internal furnace seems to have turned up quite a few degrees. Now I rarely feel too cold. (And I live in an area that was many degrees BELOW zero the past couple days!)

26 Susan February 10, 2008 at 6:06 pm

Kath I am an early morning person too (minus the exercising). Sometimes I would like to wait to have breakfast because if I eat it right away I will be hungry for lunch way too soon! This morning you said you waited out your hunger. How do you concentrate when you are hungry?

27 Kim February 10, 2008 at 6:19 pm

is 50 minutes daily on elliptical most days of week and 2 days per week aqua aerobics (which includes strength training/weightwork using water resistance) enough for gradual weightloss?

28 Katherine February 10, 2008 at 6:45 pm

What is opinion about flavored yogurts such as stonyfield? They have sugar but are not artificial. Is there a difference b/w eating plain and adding honey versus eating stonyfield?

29 BethT February 10, 2008 at 7:47 pm

Kath or anyone: If you do pushups in your daily routine, do you do them full-on or “girly style”?

I made it a goal to be able to do 2 sets of 10 “real” pushups by the end of the year. I cranked out 5 today and about cried from joy! I’ve never been able to do real ones until now…just curious what other ladies are able to do. It takes SO much upper body strength!

30 Kelly T February 10, 2008 at 8:28 pm

kim- yes that is enough for gradual weightloss, if you eat a balanced diet. 30 minutes most days is recommended for health benefits and anything higher is considered moderately active…so good job! keep up the good work!

31 bev February 10, 2008 at 9:09 pm

Cute bags. I finally found Reisenthel a @ Container store today. Great price $ 7.59 . I was excited. Doesn’t that made you mad when you by produce that’s bad :( Good luck on your test this week.

32 Kath February 10, 2008 at 9:19 pm

I always just use a microwave – 2.5 minutes on high. I drink my tea fast!

Sounds like you need to stir your PB better to start. I have to confess that I make the husband do it because he has stronger arms than I do. When you think it’s mixed, mix it for 2-3 more minutes. Scrape the bottom! That should help, but ours is always still a little dry on the bottom 10% or so.

Yay for hating onions! Glad to know i’m not the only one. I’ve only met a few people who hate them as much as I do. So you think the MorningStars are OK? I think I have the Original Grillers right now and like them OK. I can’t do Boca at all anymore (although I used to eat them).

I do think I am cold more often now than when I was 30 pounds heavier, but I’d rather add a sweater and drink some tea than put those pounds back on. I am sorry to hear you have difficulties with circulation. I have asked my doctor about it, but she says I’m probably just cold natured.

If I wake up starving, I have to eat right away. But today i was just mildly hungry, so it wasn’t hard to concentrate for an hour or so until my stomach started to rumble. I know what you mean about eating lunch too soon!

I agree with Kelly T – keep up the good work!

I’ve always had good upper body strength and do traditional pushups. Congrats on doing 5 – that’s more than lots of women could probably do! Keep adding a few on each week and you’ll be up to 20 in no time! Then you can work on pull-ups like I am – they are 10x as hard!!

Hey kath (or anyone) – is there an added health benefit in greek yogurt as opposed to the regular yogurt? I tried the greek kind today and loved it! i notice both you and cristin from ‘eat like me’ often eat the greek yogurt so i assume there must be a health-oriented reason?

34 Casey February 10, 2008 at 10:57 pm

So let me make sure I’m understanding this correctly –
the tea tastes sweet? Naturally?

This sounds too good to be true!

35 beachbum_ February 11, 2008 at 1:00 am

Hey Kath, I’ve just started reading your blog recently and I really love it! Thanks for being such a great role model. I was just wondering though, why are you just being able to drink water now? Why couldn’t you the last couple months? Sorry if you’ve already answered this before..

36 Kath February 11, 2008 at 5:39 am

I don’t think the Greek has any additional health benefits – it is just processed differently for a thicker texture. I have read that Fage has less calcium than regular yogurt. We eat it because it’s SO good!!

Yup! Naturally sweet. That and the liquorice kind I drink. And apparently Yogi Tahitian Vanilla is too.

37 Kim February 11, 2008 at 9:41 am

Thanks Kelly T. They opened a yoga wellness center around the corner so I might try that too! Did you have a blog of your own, I’d love to check it out! Kath, I’m def. going to try hemp milk. We had chicken burgers yesterday as well with sweet potato “fries” well baked that is. I also made a little dipping sause by mixing yogurt with some mango.

Lesson Learned: Do NOT click the "yes I would like to install Windows Updates" box before blogging. GAH. My computer has been slow as molasses slower than molasses for the past hour and I have done nothing but sit here and stare at the screen. Had i known it would take this long I would have gone to do something else (like turn on my laptop) but I kept thinking any minute it would get back to normal. What a waste of precious time 👿

I did get started on my day rather late. I stayed up working until 11:30 last night and slept until 8:15! I woke up at 6:30 and had to get one of my grandmother’s quilts because our bedroom was freezing with 4 open windows! It was fun once I was warm again though :)

When I woke up I wrote a post for the Mushroom Channel in bed (always do most important tasks first!) and then finally came down to make oats in a jar to warm myself up.

I had planned on Barney Butter oats in a jar this morning, but Karen ate the rest of my jar while I was gone!!!! Not cool!!! Thankfully I had another jar that was ready –

VeggieGirl sent me this Hazelnut butter a while ago and I have loved every bite. It’s got a very unique taste, but it really grew on me.

IMG_3971 (640x427)

IMG_3982 (427x640)

I filled ‘er up with:

1/3 cup oats, milk, water, pinch salt

1 ripe banana

1 tbsp chia seeds

~1/4 cup Mix My Granola

Yummy! Like my pink pajama pants!?

Somebody else was enjoying a nice cricket for breakfast – the horror!

IMG_3990 (640x427)

Our yard was so pretty this AM – basking in the fall crisp shadows

IMG_3991 (640x427)

IMG_3994 (640x427)

IMG_3992 (640x427)

Is it really NOON!?!?!?!?!!? I’m going to work until 1PM, go workout and have lunch at 2 (since I ate breakfast at 9:30 that should work).

Too funny, I actually just typed in your address because I was thinking something must be wrong with my google reader!

Have a good day!

2 Erika September 29, 2009 at 11:04 am

oatmeal looks divine this morning!

3 Madeline @ Greens and Jeans September 29, 2009 at 11:05 am

Hazelnut butter just sounds like a glorious thing! Your yard is so pretty! The one thing I really miss since moving to the southwest is grass and trees! Cacti just leave a little something to be desired.

4 Holly September 29, 2009 at 11:09 am

GORGEOUS PHOTOS! i don’t know how you manage to keep outdoing yourself on all these beauty shots.

hazelnut butter is now added to my grocery list!

5 Allyson September 29, 2009 at 11:11 am

I love fall! The fall flowers are amazing, and then you get the fall leaves.

I had to grab a blanket in the middle of the night last night, too! I love waking up to that crisp, cool air.

6 brandi September 29, 2009 at 11:12 am

I think our spiders are twins. They’re crazy, aren’t they! They get bigger every day.

that hazelnut butter sounds awesome.

7 Courtney September 29, 2009 at 11:16 am

We went to sleep with all the windows open the other night and woke up to some VERY snuggly dogs trying to keep their little noses warm!!
Love the crisp air..makes me want to run a little faster!!

Have you seen Chocolate Covered Katie’s idea for Banana Butter yet? It’s revolutionary, like Angela’s GMs.

Well it did for me anyway. Here’s the link if you want to check it out:

And now I’m done being an infomercial for the stuff haha!

9 Mara @ What's For Dinner? September 29, 2009 at 11:18 am

UGH! That is the reason I have a mac! The updates don’t slow down the puter at all…
Miss VG made me blondies with that nut butter…amazing stuff!

10 Jessica @ How Sweet It Is September 29, 2009 at 11:23 am

OMG I hate spiders so much and I swear they creep up near my door everyday when I am about to leave. Ugh! Yuck.

11 Food Makes Fun Fuel September 29, 2009 at 11:24 am

Ah, you’ve finally depleted the hazelnut butter. I have to admit that’s one I’ve been VERY intrigued about on your blog. I found an organic chocolate hazelnut that’s like nutella with less sugar and more nut that’s really good

12 Leianna September 29, 2009 at 11:24 am

I tried the cashew butter of that brand this morning, so good!
Love your yard pictures!

13 Whitney @ Lettuce Love September 29, 2009 at 11:35 am

I have been meaning to the hazelnut butter. Looks yummy!

14 Maria September 29, 2009 at 11:36 am

Kath, I’m sorry.

I didn’t think to ask you first if it was ok for me to leave a link on your site. If it’s not, please feel free to take it down!

15 Maggie September 29, 2009 at 11:40 am

I had to get my mom’s quilt this morning too! It’s chilly even in CA.

16 maya September 29, 2009 at 11:47 am

WOW i had hazelnut futters on oats too today, fresh fig and banana almonds and hazelnut futters! YUMM,
i first thought when i got futters, that it would be not too good, but i love it, the flavor is so natural and pure and hazelnutty(duh :) vg converted me too.. lol

well love ur oat jar breakfast :) have a great day

17 eliza September 29, 2009 at 11:49 am

hey i had futters hazelnut butter today in my oatmeal as well :) love this stuff, veggie girl (liz) totally made me want to try it! and the pistachio futters is good as well, a bit more bland but very good on savory things.

18 Rebecca September 29, 2009 at 11:57 am

Hazelnut butter sounds amazing! I love the coffee pouring action pic. :-)

19 haya September 29, 2009 at 12:10 pm

oats in a jar is such a brilliant concept! i had a dark chocolate wonderful jar the other day and it was insanely delish. i’m happy that fall temperatures are here and i can indulge in warm oatmeal again.

i think anyone that has not experienced oats in a jar wouldn’t understand how precious those last scrapings are. in fact, they might think they are doing you a favour buy finishing it up!

20 Bec September 29, 2009 at 12:21 pm

I just got a french press and love it! Almost as much as I love oats in a jar :)

21 Laura@FindingAHealthyBalance September 29, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Those “jar of oats” are haunting me…….I see them everywhere and I have yet to make one for myself as I always forget, despite having an empty jar in the pantry! =(

Scary spider, great picture though!

22 Jenny September 29, 2009 at 12:26 pm

I recently began reading your blog, and as always, what a great post! The yard pictures are gorgeous- I’m hoping I can brush up on my own photography skills and provide some nice New England foliage on mine, but we’ll see how that works out. Your recipes look delicious. Can’t wait to try the Oats in a Jar recipe! I am just returning to healthy eating after a long illness and it’s blogs like yours that are going to help me do it.

23 Danielle September 29, 2009 at 12:27 pm

I love the way the sun looks in the fall, definitely different from spring and summer.
And a lovely breakfast as usual :)

24 VeggieGirl September 29, 2009 at 12:44 pm

Thanks for the shout out! Enjoy the haze 😉

25 Cynthia (It All Changes) September 29, 2009 at 12:45 pm

It’s so strange to think that you are just now pulling out the quilts. We’ve had ours on our bed for weeks. No heat on yet but definitely long PJ pants and quilts.

I slept in late this AM too. I felt like my head was in a fog so I used the time I normally get up to blog to sleep. It felt good.

26 rhodeygirl September 29, 2009 at 12:53 pm

I understand why you always set schedules for yourself. I work from home and sometimes I really just lose track of time.

Beautiful yard!

27 eating machine September 29, 2009 at 12:54 pm

i hate updates! mine always restart my computer when i don’t want it to!

28 Naomi(onefitfoodie) September 29, 2009 at 12:59 pm

YUM that looks amazing!! Futters makes great nutbutters, i have never tried their hazelnut but I am sure its just as good as their almond btuter!

enjoy your day kath!

29 Rachael September 29, 2009 at 1:11 pm

Cute pink PJ pants hehe

hmmmmm hazelnut ANYTHING sounds delish to me!

30 Hallie (Healthy Twists) September 29, 2009 at 1:12 pm

I really want to try some new nut butters…but I love AB and good ole PB that’s it’s hard to stray…maybe one of those companies need to send me the mini jars, LOL.

31 lynn (The Actors Diet) September 29, 2009 at 1:22 pm

the spider is actually…cute?

32 Angela (Oh She Glows) September 29, 2009 at 1:37 pm

haha I had to do TWO double takes to see your PJ’s! lol

33 Jenna September 29, 2009 at 1:39 pm

yummy oats in a jar!

34 Chloe (Naturally Frugal) September 29, 2009 at 1:48 pm

I love your new shots with your camera, they look so pretty and spice things up a bit!

I definitely need to find some new nut butters. I like my almond and peanut butter, but thanks to you I’m inspired to branch out!

35 natalie September 29, 2009 at 1:49 pm

those oats in a jar look so yummy. I don’t know what my deal is, i need ot get on it!!

36 Mary :: A Merry Life September 29, 2009 at 2:11 pm

Hazelnut butter sounds interesting!! I’ve got to try it. I obsessed with trying every nut butter possible.

37 Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers September 29, 2009 at 2:21 pm

oooh i’ll haveta try that hazelnut butter! i love hazelnuts (especially w/ chocolate). :) your pics keep getting more and more stunning.

38 Christin September 29, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Kath, how do you do it? I could never wake up and immediately start writing! I need to let the brain fog clear first. You are my time management/organizational guru. 😉

enjoy your tuesday!

39 anonymous September 29, 2009 at 2:46 pm

I tried your oats recipe the other day (with the bananas in the pot) and they didn’t break down like you had said they would. do you slice them real thin? the oats picked up all the liquid but the bananas stayed whole. thanks!

40 Joanne September 29, 2009 at 2:48 pm

Enjoyed your Mushroom Channel post. My favorite fresh ‘shrooms are Portobellas (is that 2nd “o” suppose to be an “a”… I can never remember :( ). But I REALLY like to use dried mushrooms, rehydrated and adding a splash of the water they sat in for added flavor. The mushroom flavors are so pronounced when rehydrating them. I think the dried ones work best in pies.

41 Kath September 29, 2009 at 3:10 pm

I haven’t tried it but I’ve seen it! You know, nut butters are so precious that I hesitate to try to make things with them. But it does sound amazing, and we do have lots of bananas. Maybe for tomorrow’s breakfast!?

I am always striving to cross something off a list!

You must slice them thin and the extra ripe bananas are the ones that really dissolve. If it is just a yellow one (no brown spots) it will still be in there a bit.

42 Jenn (www. ) September 29, 2009 at 3:13 pm

I had oats in an almond butter jar yesterday, DEEEEEELICIOUS! Sorry about losing the Barney Butter jar! :(

By the way, I mash my banana first, then add it to my pot of oats and mash/mix it all together while it’s cooking. SO GOOD!

43 maria September 29, 2009 at 5:51 pm

I tried oats in a jar today for the first time, so it’s funny that you posted this today. They were great! :)

I’ll definitely eat them again when I find an emptyish jar floating around the house.

44 Betty September 29, 2009 at 11:08 pm

I’m glad to see the spider is still there!

There are certainly lots of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to convey up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where an important thing might be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round things like that, however I’m positive that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Both boys and girls really feel the affect of just a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.imitation swiss watches
