Robert Andrew Woolmer 1948 - 2007

por | | 0 comments

It is with heartfelt sorrow that such a charismatic, popular, and talented thespian in the shape of Bob Woolmer should die so suddenly at the age of only 58, but to have been 'murdered' is truly devastating news to his family, relatives, friends, fellow students of the game, cricket fans and in fact all sports fans in general.

I ask you, will International competitive sport ever be able to fully recover from this tragedy.

The truth about why he was murdered is still unclear, however there are numerous rumours flying around, as one might suspect under the circumstances.
We are all aware of the corruption/match fixing allegations coinciding with the imminent release of his book, as put forward by many a journalist this past week.
But if it does turn out that corruption has played a part in his death, then how can we the public ever trust the outcome of any sporting event in the future to have been truly genuine.
Most of us like a flutter, as it adds to the interest of the event in question, and as in all sports there are always going to be shock results and outcomes.
Cricket is in the spotlight this next week, but next week it could be football, horse racing, golf, tennis.....whatever.

In professional sport 'greed' is the root of all evil.
People, human beings like you & I will always be susceptible to the lure of making money, even if you already have plenty. It may seem improbable that you will be suspected let alone caught. Who will know if you are not giving your best, not trying your hardest, not bothered if you win, lose or draw - if you can cash in big time.

Nobody.....until one day it all goes wrong, as inevitably it will, and you and/or your family are caught up in something bigger & more dangerous than you can handle!
You may not even have been involved directly. You may have been an unsuspecting pawn in a real life crime.

Mr.Woolmer may not have been involved, but he may have been aware of certain instances where match fixing was apparent in the sub-continent.
Knowing too much about something may turn out to have been instrumental behind his 'murder.'
Information & knowledge are powerful tools and may have proved in this instance to have been as dangerous as taking part in the practice itself!




Sincere and heartfelt condolences go to his wife, Gill and sons Dale and Russell.

He will surely live in the hearts of his cricket fans in England, South Africa, Pakistan and all over the world.

In Loving Memory of Kevin's Youth.....My First Tombstone Cake

por | | 0 comments

A dear friend of ours turned 40 today. His wife surprised him with a HUGE party. It was a funeral for his youth. I was so lucky to be able to make the cake. (Be sure to click on the picture to get a better look at the details.)

In Loving Memory of Kevin's Youth.....My First Tombstone Cake
This cake was a lot bigger than it looks in the picture. It took more than 5 dozen eggs and a half a gallon of oil. The top portion of the tombstone was made using rice crispy treats (5 recipes). My husband, Jim, helped out a lot with this cake. He started by drafting it out on the computer for me, and he even marbled the fondant. Isn't he good?

Here is the back of the cake.

In Loving Memory of Kevin's Youth.....My First Tombstone Cake
Almost everyone came to the party dressed in black.
In Loving Memory of Kevin's Youth.....My First Tombstone Cake
Here is the birthday boy, Kevin... aka Bishop McEvoy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
In Loving Memory of Kevin's Youth.....My First Tombstone Cake
It was such a fun party. I am glad that I got to be a part of it.

Zucchini Bread

por | | 0 comments

Zucchini Bread
When I moved into my second house many yrs ago, a neighbor made this and sent some over to my house with her daughter. She and my daughter had become friends right away. I thought it was a nice gesture and my next thought was ......eeewwww zucchini. But I went ahead and tasted it so at least I could say I ate some and not lie about it. lol. But omg , this recipe is awesome!!! I had to get it from her and told her how wonderful it was. She generously shared it with me and now its become a regular in my own home recipe files.

This is the original recipe.....the only change that I made is , I peeled and seeded the zucchini. In this way you get all the good stuff even from the huge zucchini. There's no green flecks to gross some out and you de-seed the huge ones so all you get is pulp. Then I grate it on the lg. part of my grater. I like to use pecans but walnuts are yummy too. And imagine using another extract and perhaps some orange or lemon zest for a change. YUM!


Zucchini Bread
Makes 2 9 x 5 in. loaves

3 eggs
1 c. salad oil
1 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. grated raw zucchini
3c. flour
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. b. soda
2 tsp. b. powder
1 c. chopped nuts

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. Fill and bake for 1 hr. at 350 degrees.

Bakerella's Book Signing and a Giveaway!

por | | 0 comments

I have the best husband in the world.  He didn't want me standing in line all day at a book signing because I just had the baby.  So, he went to Salt Lake early this morning to get me a ticket to meet Bakerella.  He even had to do some sweet talking to get me a ticket.  I was so very grateful.  I got number 10!

Here she is.......Bakerella!  She is cute and sassy, just as I had envisioned from reading her blog.

I have always been a fan of Bakerella, and I love to make her cake pops.  She just put together a Cake Pop book, with amazing illustrations and step by step instructions to make the delicious treats.  I was so excited to see that Salt Lake was on her list of stops on her book signing tour.

Williams Sonoma had cute displays of her books all over the store.

We ended up getting to Trolley Square just in time for Bakerella to arrive.  There were SO, SO, SO many people there!  And once again, I was happy to have a ticket that said number 10 on it.  They took people back in groups of 10, so I was able to get in quickly.  Bakerella was a lot of fun!  She was so nice to let us get our picture taken with her.  My daughter passed up an opportunity to go to the park with the other kids, just so she could meet Bakerella.  I was so glad to have her with me.

My daughter was a little shy when it came to meeting Bakerella.

When we left, there were still hundreds of people in line waiting their turn.  We had so much fun!

Now for the giveaway.  I have a signed copy of this wonderful book, that I will give to one lucky reader of my blog.  There are 4 ways to enter (you can do all 4 if you would like).....  Please be sure to leave a separate comment for each.

-First, leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite fall treat is.  
-Second, put a link to this post on your Facebook page, and leave a comment telling me that you linked on Facebook.
-Third, become a fan of Crazy About Cakes on Facebook.  Leave a comment telling me that you've become a fan.
-Fourth, become a follower of my blog.  Leave a comment telling me that you follow Crazy About Cakes.

I will be choosing a winner on Tuesday, October 19th using Random.org.  Good Luck!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!
Congratulations to Carrie...comment #24!  I will be contacting you!




Blogger Carrie said...

My favorite fall treat is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. (Although, I tend to make them year round because they are so yummy.)

Thanks to everyone who entered.

Title: Ree Drummond: 2010 National Book Festival

Chef Ree Drummond appears at the National Book Festival.

Speaker Biography: Ree Drummond says she grew up on the seventh fairway of a golf course in a corporate town, attended college in Los Angeles and wore black pumps to work every day. She ate sushi and treated herself to pedicures on a semiregular basis. "Then, on a brief trip to my hometown, I met and fell in love with a rugged cattle rancher," she says. "Now I live in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch. My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans and frying calf nuts." Her best-selling "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" (HarperCollins) is filled with recipes she loves to cook on the ranch, "along with some cows and horses, of course, and one cantankerous basset hound named Charlie." Drummond lives in Oklahoma.

Cookie Week ~ 3 in 1 Sugar Cookies

por | | 0 comments


This recipe was easy to make and very tasty. The cookies had a crunch and freshness to them. Instead of buying already made dough, just make these. They require few ingredients and they do not take much of time to make.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Coarse sugar, aka sanding or crystallized sugar
Royal Icing, recipe follows

Directions
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat the butter and both sugars in another medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Add the egg yolks, vanilla and orange zest mixing until fully incorporated. Slowly add the flour mixture, and continue beating until the dough comes together, stopping and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

For rolled cookies: Roll about a tablespoon of dough by hand into a ball. Dip 1 side of the balls into some coarse sugar and place them sugar-side-up on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1-inch between cookies.

For sliced cookies: Divide dough in half, roll by hand into 2-inch-wide logs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Cut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick cookies and place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between cookies.

For cutout cookies: Divide dough in half, pat into disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

**Tip: roll out and use cookie cutters when the dough is room temp, THEN refrigerate before... baking. Cookies do spread quite a bit when baking, so leave plenty of room between cookies.

Roll dough between lightly floured parchment, or waxed paper, until about 1/3-inch thick. Transfer sheets to a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into desired shape using a cookie cutter, place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between cookies. (Gather the dough scraps together, pat into a disk, chill and reroll.)

Refrigerate cookies while preheating the oven to 375 degrees F, for at least 30 minutes.

Bake the cookies, until the bottoms are golden, about 10 to 15 minutes depending on shape. Cool on sheets until firm enough to transfer to a rack to cool. Decorate as desired and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Royal Icing:
5 tablespoons meringue powder (egg white powder)
6 tablespoons water
1 pound confectioners' sugar (about 3 3/4 to 4 cups or 1 box)
Food coloring, as desired

Combine all the ingredients, except the food coloring, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix slowly until stiff enough to form peaks. The icing should be pure white and thick, but not fluffy and bubbly. If the frosting is overbeaten, it will get aerated which makes it harder to work with. If this happens, let the frosting sit to settle, then use a rubber spatula to vigorously beat and smooth out the frosting.

Alternatively, combine ingredients in a large bowl, and beat with hand beaters on low speed until the frosting thickens to stiff peaks.

Add up to 1 tablespoon food coloring and mix with a rubber spatula until the color is uniform. (Adding too much color reduces the sheen of the frosting and can break down the consistency of the frosting over a couple of days.) Store icing, covered, with plastic film on the surface of the icing.

Yield: 1 pound royal icing (1 2/3 cup)

Beer Goggles - Fact or Fallacy?

por | | 0 comments

Last year researchers at the Manchester University published a study that said 'beer goggles' really do exist and the brain child behind the survey even published a formula to calculate their effect.

Beer Goggles - Fact or Fallacy?Many men have used 'beer goggles' to justify something they have regretted the morning after the night before.
This year some 'dickheads' from the University of Leicester are trying to rain on our parade as they try to chew up and spit out the only decent excuse us guys ever had for waking up the morning after a skinfull with the 'devil woman' lying next to you.........but if recent research is to be believed we can forget the 'beer goggles' excuse from now on!

A psychological study suggests that far from alcohol making men find women prettier, it might even have the opposite effect - making them less attracted to potential mates.
Apparently the demon drink also makes no difference to men's ability to judge a woman's age, and booze also makes no difference to a man's ability to guess a woman's age, the research found.

Scientists asked a group of 240 men and women in bars and cafes to look at photos of women and comment on their age and attractiveness.
Half the participants used in the experiment had consumed alcoholic drinks, with effects rated as 'relaxed and benign', 'blunted and disinherited,' 'boisterous and over-expressive', and 'unambiguously drunk.'

Some of the pictures of 10 young women aged 17 were digitally altered to make them appear younger or older. Make-up was also applied digitally to a number of images.
The findings showed that alcohol reduced the ability of women to guess the age of the photo models, but not men.
Both the effects of alcohol and prettifying a face with make-up had little effect on men's judgement.

Dr Vincent Egan, a Home Office advisor and his 'chuckle brother' colleagues, from the University of Leicester said: 'This study suggests that alcohol consumption and make-up use do not interfere with how old we perceive someone to be.'

Another interesting finding was that overall participants who drank alcohol actually rated all the women in the photos as less attractive, compared to the participants who hadn't drunk alcohol.

This seemingly flies in the face of the commonly held notion of 'beer goggles.' Participants consistently over-estimated the age of both mature and immature faces by an average of three and a half years.

Reporting their results in the British Journal of Psychology, the researchers wrote: 'Although alcohol limited the processing of maturity cues in female observers, it had no effect on the age perceptions of males viewing female faces, suggesting male mate preferences are not easily disrupted.'
'Beer goggles’ could really be the result of lowered inhibitions, or that people are more willing to take a risk.

They clearly didn't use subjects that were drunk enough. After only a few drinks when peoples' inhibitions loosen up it's much easier for them to be mean. You need to get people past that and to the pissed/drunk stage where people just don’t give a toss any more.

Eagan said: 'Men over-estimate women’s ages and this study backs that up' and added 'it also shows that drink has nothing to do with it.'

On a more serious note, they said the influence of alcohol should not be a mitigating factor in the case of a man accused of having sex with someone under-age.
'Our study suggests that even heavy alcohol consumption does not interfere with age-perception tasks in men, so is not of itself an excuse for apparent mistaken age in cases of unlawful sex with a minor,' they wrote.

However if the research from Manchester University needed confirmation then Beer Goggles - Fact or Fallacy?
the 'boffins' at Bristol University also claim ‘beer goggles’ really do exist, and it takes less than two pints to distort people's opinions.

According to one report, Vodka-drinkers were told to rate the appeal of 20 male and 20 female faces on a seven-point scale. The same faces were shown to volunteers who had consumed only soft drinks. The boozers scored the faces 10 per cent higher.
And the effect on men lasted up to 24 hours after alcohol consumption - giving blokes something more than just a hangover to worry about!

Scaremongering or not, in effect this report is saying one and a half pints is all it takes to make a bloke lose the ability to distinguish the difference between a beauty and a beast.

Once we've decided that 'beer goggles' are real, the next thing we need is a way to easily quantify the effect their having on our judgment in real time. That's where the easy to use Beer Google Calculator comes in handy, and is based on the formula originally developed by the geniuses at Manchester University.

Be sure to bookmark the Beer Goggle Calculator on your phone so that you can quickly find it in your time of need. And by 'time of need' I mean in a dimly lit soiled bar while you're waiting for drink number eleven.

FYI
As @ Monday 09 March 2009:

According to the World Health Organisation top of the table for per capita drinking in the World is Luxembourg (15.6 litres per capita) followed by Ireland, with the U.K not far behind at 13.7 litres.
Next is Hungary (13.6 litres), Moldova (13.2 litres), Czech Republic (13.0 litres), Croatia (12.3 litres) and Germany(12.0 litres).
We are ahead of Russia (10.3 litres) and also the United States (8.6 litres).

It remains to be seen if one of the upsides of this recession will be a fall in drinking as more people re-evaluate their lifestyles, values and finances!

Sole Maté Lemon Lime Review

por | | 0 comments

Sole Maté Lemon Lime Review
This is one of those rare drinks that you might find at small stores that carry a lot of organic products. This is a local beverage, made in Kitchener, Ontario and retails for $1.75 CAD or for a toonie at some places, tax included. It comes in two varieties - original and lemon lime. They are easily distinguished by their caps - original is orange and lemon lime is green.

For those who have never had maté before, the lemon lime flavour tastes a bit like coke but with a slightly dry and very distant lime taste. For those who have had yerba maté before (real maté in a gourd), this is tastes like a watered down maté with very little sugar and a hint of lime. The aftertaste is heavy on the mate with a faint lime note yet quite refreshing. The lemon can be barely tasted.

The caffeine content is not too high, but it is all natural from the mate - 60 mg per bottle. I like drinking this during the day for the refreshing taste and the temporary boost.

I have mentioned earlier that I prefer to take photos after I have tried a drink which means that you can't see what the drink looks like. However, with most beverages, people know what color to expect based on the flavours. But what should you expect from a maté drink? Well this flavour looks golden indoors and light yellow with a green hue outdoors, or exposed to direct light.

Scores:
Cost - $1.75 CAD for a 296 mL bottle
Taste - 9.1/10
Energy - 6/10

Overall - 15.1/20...don't expect a lot of energy from this drink, but do expect a clean, refreshing taste

Celtic thriller as Europe triumph in Ryder Cup classic!

Celtic thriller as Europe triumph in Ryder Cup classic!
A victory roar from McDowell (left) and Poulter after clinching the Ryder Cup


A stunning days golf at the Celtic Manor in South Wales saw Europe win the closest Ryder Cup contest since Brookline, Massachusetts in 1999.

Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell won the final singles match to help Europe regain the trophy by the smallest possible margin, 14½ points to 13½ points.

Trailing 9-6½ going into the weather delayed finale, the United States fought back superbly to take the match to the wire. Only Europe's Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Miguel Angel Jimenez managed to win their singles matches, whist victories in the singles today by American's Steve Stricker, Dustin Johnson, Jeff Overton, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Zach Johnson brought the USA level with Europe at 13½ points apiece.

This meant it all went down to the final singles match between McDowell and Californian Hunter Mahan, as Europe went in search of the magical 14½ points needed for outright victory. McDowell, ironically the US Open champion kept his cool and held his nerve as Mahan was forced to concede defeat on the 17th green, sparking wild celebrations among the European team and the majority of the 35,000 fans.

HOW THE FINAL DAY UNFOLDED (BST)

0905: Westwood/Stricker start singles (Europe 9½-6½ USA)
1149: Europe up in 7 matches, USA in 4, one all-square
1247: Stricker beats Westwood 2&1 (9½-7½)

Hard 8 G Energy Shot Review

por | | 0 comments

Hard 8 G Energy Shot Review
It has been a while since I have reviewed an energy shot which is why I recently purchased a bunch of them. I will get the ball rolling with Hard 8 G energy shot with Ginseng, Green Tea and Ginkgo...get it? G?

What I really like about this energy shot is the container. It is aluminum and doesn't hide it with an excessive label. But because it is made of aluminum, it can be easily dinged during transportation.

Taste

It tastes better than I expected. The taste is very tea-like with green tea and ginkgo being responsible for it. Some earthy tones can be noticed in the finish as well as the taste of the sweeteners. There is a sour bite in the taste, which reminds me of a berry/cherry juice for some reason. The energy shot is sweet tasting, but not over the top like some other ones on the market. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how good this shot tastes because honestly, I did not expect much.

Energy

There are 120 mg of caffeine in the bottle, which is halfway between a 250 mL energy drink and a 473 mL one. The shot kicks in as fast as other shots and effects can be felt within 10 minutes. The way the energy kicks in is very gradual and in the initial stages focus and relaxation are noticeable. I started to become very focused on what I was doing about 15 minutes after I took the shot. The calmness and focus started to fade away after 15-20 minutes when the caffeine started to show its full potential. The effects lasted for over 2 hours and they were very, very good. I was at an alert state for the entire time, but was never too jittery and I never felt my mind racing. Overall, this is a great performer from which I was not expecting much from at first.

Medicinal Ingredients:
  • Niacin - 40 mg
  • Vitamin B5 - 20 mg
  • Vitamin B6 - 16 mg
  • Vitamin B12 - 480 mcg
  • Caffeine - 120 mg
Energy Blend: green tea extract, ginseng extract, ginkgo biloba, taurine, guarana extract, carnitine, glucuronolactone, glutamine.

Other Ingredients: water, sugar, malic acid, citric acid, natural green tea flavoring, sucralose, sodium citrate potassium benzoate, potassium sorbate, acesulfame potassium

Scores:
Cost - $3.00 from KingofCaffeine.com
Taste - 8/10
Energy - 7.5/10

Overall - 15.5/20...tastes great and works pretty good too
