    Perfect Recipes PERFECT RECIPES F 0 R HAVING PEOPLE OVER PAM ANDERSON PHOTOGRAPHS BY RITA MAAS HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY Boston New York CONTENTS Acknowledgments ix Introduction x T H E B I G STUFF A L L T H E Main Courses REST 2 Kitchen Gatherings Appetizers and 54 Outdoor Affairs First Courses 114 70 In the Dining Room First-Course Soups 154 95 Breakfasts for Company Salads 165 Side Dishes 194 Breads 223 Really Simple Desserts 233 Drinks 281 Index 294 INTRODUCTION hen I first started cooking, back in the late 1970s, entertaining was a production. I starched and ironed the tablecloth and napkins, polished each glass, and set the table at least a day before the big event. I slavishly followed menus, trekking from store to store to find the exact ingredients. No recipe was too long, no meal too elaborate. In fact, I thrived on multistep dishes that required days of attention and care: puff pastry, layered pates and vegetable terrines, miniature sweet and savory tarts. I still love to have friends over, but something happened along the way. First one daughter was born, then a second. Part-time work evolved into a full-time job. Casual hobbies became passionate avocations. With all these activities fighting for my time, I had to change the way I cooked. My menus are simple and flexible now, and my parties mostly spur-of-the- moment. I love potlucks and shared suppers, and kids are always welcome. The food's fun, the atmosphere's casual, and family and friends always gravitate to the kitchen.

  • The Cultural Histories of Bettie Page Merchandise Circulation

Yet from a contemporary standpoint, the historical narratives prompted in the licensing of her name and image flatten her past into a palatable emblem of 1950s pin-up culture. In this article, I interrogate the ways Page’s image has been mobilized since the 1950s. I propose a cultural biography of Bettie Page attuned to her queer communitarian circulation in order to counter the nostalgic sanitation of her image since the 1990s. In November of 2017, several media industry and gay press news outlets announced that Violet Chachki, drag performer and 2015 RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven champion, would front an advertising campaign for a Bettie Page-inspired lingerie line by London-based brand Playful Promises.

  • Rope Bondage 101
    Rope Bondage 101 Overview Bondage and restraint is a common fantasy for many people. Some prefer the struggle and potential for escape, others enjoy feeling of capturing and holding another person in captivity. Rope bondage can be used as a utilitarian restraint used for further play, or as an end unto itself with complex patterns and forms, designed to beautifully captivate a willing participant. This workshop covers safety concerns surrounding rope bondage, rope materials & selection, basic knots, and simple restraint ties. What follows from this base is a comparison between Western and Eastern rope styles along with an example of a Japanese tie. The workshop winds down with some tips and tricks for improving your bondage skills and an overview of resources available in print and on the internet. This guide is written as instruction to the person applying the bondage, the term partner is used to indicate the person on whom the bondage is being applied. Bio I’m a fun‐loving rope geek and sex educator who has found a home in the Midwest United States kink community. When I’m not traveling to events, I contribute to the Iowa State University CUFFS group, and serve on the board of Minneapolis TNG group Min‐KY. Although I’m a relatively new member of the scene, I’ve presented at numerous events across the country, including Kinky Kollege, Shibaricon, Denver Bound, and Beyond Leather. As a presenter, I aim to provide a comfortable down‐to‐earth learning environment for all genders, orientations, and experience levels. My long list of presentations, events, and class materials can be found at http://www.kinkfriendly.org Lastly, I am not a medical professional.

  • Animal Abuse As a Sentinel for Human Violence: a Critique ∗ Emily G
    Journal of Social Issues, Vol. 65, No. 3, 2009, pp. 589--614 Animal Abuse as a Sentinel for Human Violence: A Critique ∗ Emily G. Patterson-Kane American Veterinary Medical Association Heather Piper Manchester Metropolitan University It has been suggested that acts of violence against human and nonhuman an- imals share commonalities, and that animal abuse is a sentinel for current or future violence toward people. The popular and professional acceptance of strong connections between types of violence is beginning to be used to justify social work interventions and to influence legal decision making, and so requires greater scrutiny. Examination of the limited pool of empirical data suggests that animal abuse is relatively common among men, with violent offenders having an increased probability of reporting prior animal abuse—with the majority of violent offend- ers not reporting any animal abuse. Causal explanations for “the link,” such as empathy impairment or conduct disorder, suffer from a lack of validating research and, based on research into interhuman violence, the assumption that violence has a predominant, single underlying cause must be questioned. An (over)emphasis on the danger that animal abusers pose to humans serves to assist in achieving a consensus that animal abuse is a serious issue, but potentially at the cost of failing to focus on the most common types of abuse, and the most effective strategies for reducing its occurrence. Nothing in this review and discussion should be taken as minimizing the importance of animals as frequent victims of violence, or the co-occurrence of abuse types in “at-risk” households.
