Amos Coli: "This is a fabulous and rare paste variety, a 110-year-old California heirloom with large meaty, well-balanced red fruits perfect for sauces." |

He combined mustard with soy and Tabasco to create a simple sauce for chicken. He explained that mustard gets sweeter when you cook it, so soy provides both salt and umami as the dish cooks. |
Besides chicken, mustard works wonders with bright salads, tender roasted vegetables, and more. In most cases all you need is a spoonful to add some tangy flavor to stews or to create an emulsion in a vinaigrette. |
Of course, it’s the mustard flavor we love in a South Carolina barbecue sauce and in sauce for stone crabs. |
Prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to the early Romans, who ground mustard seeds and mixed them with wine into a paste. There are hundreds of varieties of prepared mustards, including many specialty blends that include a fruit, herb, honey or spice base. |
Prepared mustard generally has about one-third to one-half the strength of dry mustard (crushed and powdered mustard seeds). |
Yellow or ballpark mustard, America’s favorite condiment for hotdogs, is one of the mildest-flavored mustards. It is made with white mustard seeds mixed with salt, spices and vinegar, usually with turmeric added to increase the yellow color. This type was first manufactured in 1904 by George T. French as Cream Salad Br... |
Dijon mustard originated in Dijon, France, and is made with brown and/or black mustard seeds, seasonings, verjuice (juice of unripe grapes), wine and vinegar. It is pale tan to yellow in color and usually smooth in texture. |
Besides its popular use as a sandwich condiment, Dijon is the magic ingredient in many sauces. It’s especially crucial in vinaigrette to keep the oil and vinegar from separating. |
Brown mustard seeds are marinated in vinegar, ground and mixed with a little horseradish to make hot and spicy creole mustard. Whole-grain mustard, also called Meaux mustard, is made with roughly crushed, multicolored mustard seeds mixed with vinegar and spices. |
You can always have mustard on hand since it keeps indefinitely in the refrigerator. I still think coating a steak with mustard is a good idea, but now I use Dijon flavored with horseradish and cook those steaks medium-rare. |
Recipe adapted from Jacques Pépin’s newest book, “Heart & Soul in the Kitchen” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $35). Pépin writes, “In this classic recipe of veal with mushrooms, veal chops are sautéed and the pan juices deglazed with wine and demi-glace, then finished with cream and mustard to make a luscious, smooth sauc... |
Heat oven to 140 degrees. Sprinkle the chops with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. When the oil is hot, add the chops and cook over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven while you make the sauce with the pan drippings. |
Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for about 1 minute. Add the wine and demi-glace, bring to a boil, and boil for about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and boil for about 30 seconds. Finally, mix in the mustard, but do not boil. Add any juices that have accumulated around the chops to the pan. |
Arrange a chop on each of four very hot plates. Coat with the mushroom sauce, sprinkle with the tarragon, and serve. |
The sale by founder and former CEO Steve Wynn of his entire stake in Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) creates more opportunities for the casino operator to expand or even be acquired. The allegations of sexual misconduct against the casino mogul created a cloud over the resort's prospects, even potentially putting at r... |
While not entirely starting with a clean slate, as the board of directors might still face questions, this represents something of a fresh start for the resort operator, particularly after three investors scooped up sizable stakes in Wynn Resorts. |
Under pressure because his continuing connection to the company threatened the entire organization, Wynn sold 8 million shares to funds managed or advised by institutional investors T. Rowe Price and Capital Research & Management, which bought 3 million shares and 5 million shares, respectively, and he sold an addition... |
Galaxy Entertainment Group (NASDAQOTH: GXYEF), a Hong Kong-based casino operator with resorts in Macau, didn't buy from Wynn personally, but purchased 5.3 million newly issued shares of Wynn Resorts stock at $175 each for a total of $927.5 million. |
The purchase gives Galaxy a 4.9% stake in the casino and gives Wynn Resorts some assurance that it won't lose its license in Macau when it comes up for renewal. Most of Macau's gambling licenses are up for review in 2022 (the concessions of MGM Resorts and SJM Holdings come up in 2020), and partnering with a ... |
Galaxy could also use the stake to launch a push into Japan as the country finalizes legislation legalizing gambling and creating an integrated resort market. Casino developers from around the world have expressed interest in securing a license there, and partnering with Wynn, which is renowned for its world-class faci... |
Galaxy is the one of the world's largest casino operators by market capitalization, with a value of $38 billion, second only to Las Vegas Sands, which is valued by investors at around $57 billion. Wynn Resorts has a market cap of $18 billion. Galaxy used nearly half of its available cash on hand to buy the Wynn sh... |
Galaxy operates three flagship destinations in Macau, including the Galaxy Macau in the Cotai district, the adjoining Broadway Macau, and the Starworld Macau on the peninsula. It has plans to significantly expand its presence on Cotai with future development totaling 1 million square meters. |
Galaxy notes it has the largest development pipeline of any casino operator in Macau, and also has conceptual plans to develop a world-class resort on a 2.7-square-kilometer parcel on the nearby island of Hengqin. Beijing has signaled it wants Hengqin to become a tourist center for mainland Chinese and foreigners just ... |
Whether any bigger plans come to fruition is another matter. Gaming regulators in Macau have said the purchase doesn't run afoul of local laws that prohibit a casino operator from owning 5% or more of another one since Galaxy bought shares in Wynn Resorts, not its local subsidiary, Wynn Macau. But Nevada regulator... |
While Steve Wynn virtually created the integrated resort model, the Wynn Resorts of today isn't going to be the same as it was last year, or even last week. There may be more doors opening to the casino giant now that its founder no longer has a say in how it moves forward. |
Having tapped actors Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon to throw themselves into the roles of two of the most heavily imitated men of all time—Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley, respectively—Amazon Studios is ready to show off some footage from its new film Elvis & Nixon, based on a famously photographed meet-up between th... |
The movie purports to tell the true story behind the meeting—which, as chronicled by Smithsonian.com, was largely motivated by Presley’s desire for a badge from the Bureau Of Narcotics And Dangerous Drugs, the predecessor of the DEA. (“With the federal narcotics badge,” his wife Priscilla wrote in her memoir, “He [beli... |

I think that’s known as regression to the mean. |
And yet it’s also true that there is no better coach for this Kentucky basketball program than the current Kentucky basketball coach, a fact both parties confirmed Monday with the announcement of a deal that keeps Calipari at Kentucky until he retires. |
This was supposedly in response to reports of an offer UCLA sent Calipari’s way, which happened to surface after No. 2 seed UK lost to No. 5 seed Auburn in the Midwest Region finals. On Sunday. Nothing better to deflect a little criticism of the head coach than reports he might be hired away. |
Calipari was never going to UCLA. He’s way too smart for that. At Kentucky, you are at the center of the basketball universe, everybody’s Super Bowl. At UCLA, you are far, far down the list of Los Angeles priorities, behind the Lakers, the Dodgers, the Clippers, the Angels, the Kings, the Rams, the Chargers, USC footba... |
“Lifetime contracts” are for show. Nothing more, nothing less. Contracts are made to be broken. But they are a show of support to prospective recruits, to grumbling fans and to a national media that was paying attention to those grumbling fans, or those on social media. |
So after four years without a Final Four, a program tweak (or two) is in order. More experience on the roster? More grad transfers? More free-throw shooting drills? Nothing big, mind you. |
And who’s better at tweaking than Calipari? He’ll figure it out. Whether it’s recruiting, or marketing, or strategy, he’ll be out front. He’s done it before, and he’ll do it again. |
I remember the day after Calipari was hired in 2009. The new coach spoke to some boosters at a private gathering that night. The next morning, at a football scrimmage, I ran into UK Associate AD Rob Mullens, now the AD at Oregon. I asked Mullens how it went the night before. |
That’s why if you’re Kentucky, you want John Calipari as your basketball coach, for a lifetime. |

New legislation introduced Monday by the B.C. Minister of Labour aims to make it easier for parents to take extended parental leave of 18 months, but some parents worry the measures won’t go far enough to alleviate their child care woes. |
On Monday, Minister Harry Bains proposed changes to the Employment Standards Act which included increasing the length of time before an expected due date when a pregnant woman can begin her leave — from 11 weeks to 13 weeks — and upping the total parental leave allowance to 18 months. |
He also proposed extended compassionate care leave, leave in the event of a child death, and leave in the event of a child who is lost due to a crime. |
The changes, if approved, would mean B.C. employers must grant the extended amount of time to new parents as unpaid leave. That’s consistent with the federal government decision to begin offering new parents the option of obtaining the same amount of money through employment insurance for 18 months instead of 12, which... |
“We believe families deserve to take time to care for a new child or support an ailing relative ... without having to worry about their job security,” Bains said Tuesday. |
Some Vancouver parents worry the proposed change is too little, too late for them. |
Brooke Roach’s baby, Louie, was due to be born Dec. 1, 2017, but he arrived more than a month early and had to stay in the hospital until Dec. 3. |
Roach and her husband, Barrett, knew they wanted to opt for extended parental leave as soon as the federal government announced it. As it turned out, they had to apply for special permission since Louie was born before the new federal rules kicked in. |
The couple was told they were approved for extended care, only to be told that was not the case about two months later. Roach has reapplied for the extended parental leave, and is waiting to hear back so she can confirm her return to work. In the meantime, they’re scrambling to get on daycare wait-lists, just in case. |
Roach hopes the new B.C. legislation will help parents in the future. She also believes the system should not be too rigid on parents like her. |
“Everybody’s case is different. Why does it matter that my baby was born Oct. 28 rather than Dec. 3?” she said. |
The proposed change is welcomed by child care advocates in B.C., who see both supportive leave and affordable daycare options as necessary aspects of a child care system. |
“Extending parental leave is what was recommended by our $10 a day child care campaign,” Sharon Gregson, provincial spokesperson for the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C., said. |
“They should be looking at EI to make sure it reflects the times and living expenses we have today, especially in the lower mainland,” he said. |
Investments in child care were promised by Premier John Horgan’s government in the February throne speech. “Now that the commitment is there we have to make sure that the implementation follows through,” Gregson said. |
The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site will bring Sandburg's work back to the stage this summer in free public performances of The World of Carl Sandburg and Rootabaga Stories. |
The Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site will bring Sandburg's work back to the stage this summer in free public performances of The World of Carl Sandburg and Rootabaga Stories. These 30-minute programs will be offered at 10:15 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday through July 21 and Aug. 1 through 18, in the park's a... |
This year's cast and directors from the Vagabond School of the Drama, an apprentice program of the Flat Rock Playhouse, have carefully selected excerpts from the 1960 Broadway play The World of Carl Sandburg and crafted them into a 30-minute program of highlights for the park stage. The original play, written by Norman... |
Apprentices from the state theater of North Carolina have also taken a selection of tales from Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories and have woven them together with musical tunes from Sandburg's collection of folk music found in his American Songbag. |
The result is 30-minutes of zany and toe-tapping stories that delight "children" of all ages. Sandburg created his own version of American fairy tales when he published Rootabaga Stories (1922) and Rootabaga Pigeons (1923). |
He replaced the European fairy tale cast of princes, princesses, castles and kingdoms with icons American children would recognize -- taxi-drivers, movie actors, skyscrapers, prairies and automobiles. Rootabaga Stories will be performed at 10:15 a.m. Thursdays and Saturdays, rain or shine. |
The productions are free of charge. |
Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site is located three miles south of Hendersonville off U.S. 225 on Little River Road. For more information, call 693-4178. |
Three teams in the Eastern Conference have yet to register a victory. |
Two of them are featured in this match. Both have allowed 9 goals through the first five contests and both have attackers that can find the net. Marco Di Vaio missed the first three games of the season due to suspension and predictably Montreal's offense was shut out in two of those three games. The veteran striker is ... |
There shouldn't be many surprises in this opponent's game plan. Montreal likes to counter and strike quickly but their defense is questionable. Frank Klopas has teased a potential Di Vaio - Jack McInerney strike partnership but that would seem to go against everything they've shown in the first five games. Furthermore,... |
The Fire's first twenty minutes against Philadelphia were very good but the Union took control before the half until a change to a more offensive look turned the tables. If the Fire want to push a shaky defense it would seem that placing Alex back in the starting eleven would be a logical choice. If Yallop opts for a c... |
Montreal is much better when Justin Mapp is on form. There are a few weeks every season where Mapp draws some ooh's and ahh's but eventually he settles back into the inconsistency he's displayed over his entire career. If Bernardello can't go due to injury, Patrice Bernier will probably be back into the starting line-u... |
Segares is not fully recovered from an ankle injury although Yallop expects him to return to training next week. |
The Fire's recent history on turf has been brutal (0-9-3 in their last twelve) and with that in mind the team trained on Toyota Park's turf field for a portion of the week. Just as ugly has been the Fire's set piece defending this season. This graphic illustrates that Chicago has allowed seven of the nine goals they've... |
Both teams are winless and have played the other winless team in the East (New York) to a draw. Games against their other common opponent, Philadelphia, also resulted in stalemates after ninety minutes. |
The Impact have played well in spurts this season but not quite well enough to pick up a victory. They've also been shaky in the back and have allowed three scores from dead ball plays. Sound familiar? |
Klopas is actually starting Di Vaio and McInerney up top with Warner as the holding mid. |
I am changing my pick to 2-1 Fire. |
Shoulda kept your original pick. Ouch. |
SJ doesn't make the save right in front of him.. no 3 pts. Magee goes in free.. takes it to his left foot and gets stuffed. That's what you want from your keeper. |
didn't Chicago already go thru this 2 or 3 years ago? |
We're all on trial for the remake of Ground Hog Day. Stay in character or you'll blow your chances! |
