  • Tarte Flambée (Flammekueche)
    Tarte Flambée (Flammekueche) This traditional flatbread from Alsace is very similar to pizza. My Alsatian friend Isabelle, who serves it whenever friends gather at her house for drinks, doesn’t use a written recipe - but this one was inspired by watching her make it. It’s best to get everything prepared ahead of time, in fact the dough’s easier to roll if you let it double in size, divide into balls, pop them into freezer bags and refrigerate overnight. Then you can roll and assemble an hour or so ahead of time and just bake them as guests arrive. This recipe makes a lot, enough for 8 people if you want to serve it as a meal with salad. You could halve it, but you’ll be surprised how quickly it disappears. Extra toppings (like mushrooms, chives, gruyere or munster cheese) are sometimes added … but I like the classic version best. This is the perfect excuse to open a delicious Alsatian riesling such as the Peter Weber Grand Cru from Altenberg de Bergheim, imported by Winebubble. Makes 4 tarts METHOD INGREDIENTS 1. Make Dough: stir yeast into water and set aside for 10-20 • 500ml crème frâiche minutes, until it starts to foam. Add to combined flour and salt 1 egg yolk • and mix to form a soft dough. Tip onto a lightly floured bench • Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and not too sticky. • Salt flakes and freshly ground black Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and set aside in a warm pepper, to taste place for an hour or 2, until doubled in size.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
