    Every Single Bloomin Recipe From the Food Network Show, Good Eats, Starring Alton Brown. (Date Ending: November 12, 2006; Show Ending Fry, Turkey, Fry) Recipes From: Foodnetwork.com Formatting By: Michael Menninger, Mikemenn Productions © 2006 Copyright 2005 Mikemenn Productions Page 1 What s in this Cookbook? Good Eats starring Alton Brown has a lot of good recipes. Instead of surfing the web, why not print them all out and stick them in a binder? This cookbook is a compilation of all the recipes in a unique and easy to read format. The recipes come from foodnetwork.com and can also be found in verbal form from the episodes of the show. Print out the Odd pages first, restack and flip and then print out the Even pages next. What s up with the format of the recipes? I hate the normal format for recipes. You can t find where you are in the recipe very easily and it s hard to determine which ingredient goes in when. With the layouts in this cook book, each step is linked to the ingredients for that step and each step is broken out and numbered for easy remembering. I hope you like it. Where d you get the data for each recipe? That, too, came from Food Network. I sometimes filled in my best guess. However, if there s little or no info, that s because Food Network didn t provide it. What if I need more info about the recipe? Each recipe notes he show from which it came. (Note: The title noted is the actual title.

  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927.
