Trust me. http://www.a2zrecipes.net/11062003.html) Hello to everyone in a2z land. We are doing great here. We??ve finally gotten the temperatures below 80 (but only at night!) and the mosquitoes are confused enough to where they only hover by our ears. I think they??re trying to tell us something... YES. The cumuli.com stats are VERY messed up. I have not broached the subject here but have been watching them and communicating with cumuli for some time. Since I am getting a lot of emails from you guys, I thought I would mention this now. I think a great way to convince cumuli that something is ???awry??? is for READERS to contact them and ask that they get their act together. No, I am not a disgruntled #2 publisher when I say this. I work hard at this newsletter and know I do a good job whether or not the votes reflect it. However, when a newsletter comes from NOWHERE and becomes #2 and shortly after becomes #1...only certain things must exist. First, they must have a reader base of TENS of thousands. There is no other HONEST way to get 20,000+ votes in a few weeks (unless every reader votes which I can tell you----DOESN??T HAPPEN). Furthermore, for a brand-new publication to have such a following and rating is just impossible. I do not know what else to say without pointing a finger (and maybe it would be the ???middle one???, lol). And, A to Z Recipes and its closest contender, BOTH lost hundreds of votes (lost meaning they disappeared one day) and this newbie gained more. Cumuli says they ???deterred??? sabotage as a2z newsletter had gotten a rash of ???unusual??? votes and ratings at the time the number one had made its flight to the #1 status. So, they deleted votes that appeared suspicious. Assumedly, they do not feel anything is ???suspicious??? about a newcomer flying past established ezines in a matter of a few weeks. ???GO FIGURE???. All in all, I have been there and done that when it comes to the cumuli rating service. I have cried myself to sleep, literally, hurt and frustrated, thinking my work was inferior. No, I do NOT have a star-studded number of votes that are registered by my readers daily. But, I do have a group of loyal readers who want their votes to count. The only way this is possible is for the rating service to have safety measures IN PLACE that prevent fraud. I am blonde (and maybe not the brightest bulb on the tree) but even I can see that something is wrong with this picture. If you would like to get on the band wagon with me and speak up for honesty in voting, then I suggest you write cumuli yourself and ask that they do something. ezinesupport@cumuli.com If you would like to read this issue on the website (or see recently posted issues), you may follow this link: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Archives.html Wherever possible, I will have photos of recipes, shopping items, and other goodies for you.

A gift from the kitchen is twice blessed; it gives pleasure to the giver as well as to the receiver. We're looking for recipes for gifts that are homemade in your own kitchen, whether they are edible or not (maybe even soaps or bath/shower additives?). Some cookie or brownie in a jar recipes (don't forget the instructions for the cards to be included inside the jar!) or perhaps homemade candy recipes? Do you have a recipe for a biscuit mix (make ahead biscuits where all the recipient does is add water and bake) or a multi-purpose cake or muffin mix? Some tried-and- true recipes would certainly be appropriate as we would want to offer our friends and family only the finest. Please read the rules for recipe submissions and sent to the correct email address. Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen" A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of each month. Send your recipes no later than the last Friday of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme issue. You may send in as many recipes in each email as your little heart desires. If the number of recipes exceeds those needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for regular, daily issues. The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting. The rules are as follows: As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for their own use. Recipes that would require a lot of editing or cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be submitted. This would include recipes with traces from forwarding, those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions). Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted. A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT publish email addresses. There will be no exceptions. Send recipes you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm (Use the theme name as subject.) Please include your name and location in all emails. The deadline for next month's theme issue is Friday, November 28th. Theme recipes must have subject: "Gifts from the Kitchen" and will be posted on Sunday, December 7th. Did you vote?

Subject: U.S. Soldiers The writer and his wife live in LA and both work for Uncle Sam. Dear Friends and Family, I hope that you will spare me a few minutes of your time to tell you about something that I saw on Monday, October 27. I had been attending a conference in Annapolis and was coming home on Sunday. As you may recall, Los Angeles International Airport was closed on Sunday, October 26, because of the fires that affected air traffic control. Accordingly, my flight, and many others, were cancelled and I wound up spending a night in Baltimore. My story begins the next day. When I went to check in at the United counter Monday morning I saw a lot of soldiers home from Iraq. Most were very young and all had on their desert camouflage uniforms. This was as change from earlier, when they had to buy civilian clothes in Kuwait to fly home. It was a visible reminder that we are in a war. It probably was pretty close to what train terminals were like in World War II. Many people were stopping the troops to talk to them, asking them questions in the Starbucks line or just saying "Welcome Home." In addition to all the flights that had been cancelled on Sunday, the weather was terrible in Baltimore and the flights were backed up. So, there were a lot of unhappy people in the terminal trying to get home, but nobody that I saw gave the soldiers a bad time. By the afternoon, one plane to Denver had been delayed several hours. United personnel kept asking for volunteers to give up their seats and take another flight. They weren't getting many takers. Finally, a United spokeswoman got on the PA and said this, "Folks. As you can see, there are a lot of soldiers in the waiting area. They only have 14 days of leave and we're trying to get them where they need to go without spending any more time in an airport then they have to. We sold them all tickets, knowing we would oversell the flight. If we can, we want to get them all on this flight. We want all the soldiers to know that we respect what you're doing, we are here for you and we love you." At that, the entire terminal of cranky, tired, travel-weary people, a cross-section of America, broke into sustained and heart-felt applause. The soldiers looked surprised and very modest. Most of them just looked at their boots. Many of us were wiping away tears. And, yes, people lined up to take the later flight and all the soldiers went to Denver on that flight. That little moment made me proud to be an American, and also told me why we will win this war. If you want to send my little story on to your friends and family, feel free. This is not some urban legend. I was there, I was part of it, I saw it happen.

I'm sure going to give it a try. My husband loves Italian food. He ate this somewhere and has raved about it. Another great e-zine today. You're the best. Love, Barbara, Chula Vista, CA??? Barbara, You gave me a doozey of a request as there is VERY little out there which departs from the ???Big Night??? movie??s version. But...I found one and hoped it would work. I??m glad you feel it will. Save it for the time when this dish is normally prepared, on or close to Christmas. It is a LOT of work and would be received as yet another gift from the heart. Enjoy!

Women and Men WOMEN: Women are honest, loyal, and forgiving. They are smart; knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point. Women want to be the best for their family, their friends, and themselves. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. A woman can make a romantic evening unforgettable. Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes. They live in homes, apartments and cabins. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin! Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. And all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with. MEN: Men are good at lifting heavy stuff and fixing shit.

Chicken is a favorite here at my house and it is great broiled. Regardless of the weather, the preparation is simple and the other dishes suggested work really well. Enjoy! (See menus at: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Menus.html) OUR MENU: PROVENCAL ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY AND LIME BAVARIAN WARM POTATO SALAD (MW) PEACH CRISP PROVENCAL ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY AND LIME http://www.a2zrecipes.net/MainDish078.html Serves 4 Chicken: 1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, excess fat trimmed and giblets removed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 shallot, sliced 1 bunch fresh thyme 1 lemon, zested in large strips 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon honey Sauce: 3 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons minced shallot 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. For the chicken: Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Stuff the chicken cavity with the shallot, half the thyme, and lemon zest. Set a v-rack or regular rack in a roasting pan, and brush chicken with a bit of the olive oil. Whisk the honey and remaining oil in a small bowl. Dip the remaining thyme in the mixture and use it to brush the chicken all over with the honey mixture. Season bird with salt and pepper, to taste. Tuck the wings under the back, cross the legs, and tie them with kitchen string. Place the chicken breast side down on the rack and roast until the back is golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the chicken breast side up. Cut the string where it holds the legs together and open up the legs a bit. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings, using the thyme sprigs as a brush. Roast the chicken again until the breast is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 170 degrees F., 20 to 25 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a carving board, and let it rest 10 minutes before carving. For the sauce: Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Put the pan over medium-high heat, add the water, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Strain the pan drippings into a small bowl and spoon off the fat. Whisk in the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, shallot, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Carve the chicken and serve drizzled with the sauce. BAVARIAN WARM POTATO SALAD http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Sides021.html 1/2 pound thick sliced bacon, snipped into small strips 3-4 large baking potatoes, or 10-12 small brown potatoes 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons bacon drippings (or use all bacon drippings, like in the olden days) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white peppercorns 2-4 tablespoons cider or red wine vinegar, to your taste 2-3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley 2-3 snipped green onions Line a microwave bacon rack with a paper towel. Arrange the bacon over the towel and then cover the bacon with another towel. Calculate cooking time, using about 1 minute per strip of bacon. Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into chunks. Place in microwaveable pot. Cover. Microwave on high until tender, calculating cooking time of 3 minutes per large potato. In glass or ceramic serving bowl, put the chopped onion. Cover. Microwave on high 30 seconds. Add the potato pieces and crumbled bacon and toss well. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and bacon drippings, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding a pinch of sugar if needed. Depends on the vinegar. Pour over the potato mixture, and toss in the parsley and green onions. Serve room temperature. PEACH CRISP http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Desserts071.html Ingredients: 1 cup Rolled Oats (not quick) 4 cups Peaches, fresh, ripe 3/4 cup Raisins 1/4 cup Dates, pitted 1/4 cup Figs, dried 1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds, raw 1/4 cup Walnuts, pieces 1 tsp. Cinnamon, ground Preparation: Wash and clean the ripe peaches, cut into bite-size pieces and place 2 cups of the peach pieces in a covered glass microwaveable or oven- safe baking dish. Add the rolled oats and cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Cook in a microwave oven for about 5 minutes on "high", or in a preheated conventional oven at 350 degrees F. until the oats are softened. The juice from the cooking peaches will provide the moisture for cooking the oats. While the oats and peaches are cooking, cut the dates and figs into small pieces. Remove the peach-oat mixture from the oven and add the raisins and cook for another few minutes. Remove from the oven and add the remaining peaches, dates, figs, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. Mix thoroughly and serve. Jewelers Direct has just what your loved one wants! Representing the World's Finest Man Made Cubic Zirconia Gems "Diamond Quality" Handset in 14kt.
