Hello Spanish Table Wine Friends! Did You Get Your Jambalaya on This Hello Spanish Table wine friends! Did you get your jambalaya on this week? While I celebrated Fat Tuesday with Thai food, this past Sunday was spent stirring & stirring & stirring a roux for big pot of gumbo, along with smokey ham hock and collards greens, & cornbread of course! Delicious & inspiring as I have never been to New Orleans and have only occasionally experimented with Cajun & Creole cuisine. After doing some foodie research today, I learned that there are some major differences between Creole & Cajun recipe origins, although the two food cultures have certainly influenced one another as they evolved. The Creoles tended to be of European descent & were wealthier planters who had access to more exotic spices, aspiring to more of a "grande cuisine." A blend of French, Spanish, Italian, & German descendents made their way to Louisiana where Haitian, African & Native American influence helped to reinvent traditional dishes whose ingredients were hard to come by in the new world. We can thank those Spanish chefs for the invention of jambalaya which of course evolved from what else but paella! Cajuns were exiled French refugees from Nova Scotia who had no ties to aristocracy so the food on their table was based on what the wilderness provided them & lots of ingenuity. From their black caldrons came simpler one pot dishes that made the most of everything the sea & swamps had to offer. And so it seems a people that have been hard hit by tragedy throughout its history still manage to keep that "joie de vivre" alive, partially by the love invested in their rich culinary culture. Check out our cookbook section for the Los Islenos Cookbook, a treasury of old-time recipes from Spanish Louisiana that has nine different recipes for gumbo & two for fried alligator (!), as well as our large collection of Cuban cookbooks with Creole soul... Salud! Catherine CHEESE OF THE WEEK: back by popular request! SAN SIMON Galicia, the ancient land of the Celts, produces some of the best cow's milk cheeses in spain due to the lush green pastures of the northwest. like tetilla, san simon has a unique shape & a wonderfully creamy texture with the added benefit of two weeks of curing over birchwood fires. this chestnut-colored cheese melts beautifully & makes for a delightful dessert cheese. ENCHILADO DE MARISCOS (SEAFOOD CREOLE) from Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban by Glenn Lingren, Raul Musibay, & Jorge Castillo One thing I really appreciate about a cookbook is a good sense of humor, & that's something these "Three Guys" have in common. Right off the bat, Raul explains that ordering this dish at Taco Bell will not result in a plate of enchiladas, but a bowl of fish stew! Since this week was Mardi Gras, you can prepare this Creole dish with or without the chorizo for those of you observing Lent. For those of us on a budget, you can also hold the lobster & scallops and go for all shrimp. Whatever you do, follow the advice of the Three Guys, "If we're not having fun in the kitchen, we're not doing anything in the kitchen!" Serves 4 to 6 4 Tbs butter 4 Tbs olive oil 1 cup chopped green pepper 2 1/2 cups chopped white onion 1 cup chopped celery 4 cloves garlic, minced 6 medium ripe Roma tomatoes, peeled & chopped 2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 cup white wine 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup tomato juice 1 Tbs lemon juice 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 Spanish chorizo links, casings removed, diced Olive oil for sauteing 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, & butterflied 4 lobster tails, shell on, chopped in quarters 1 lb scallops 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro Melt the butter with the oil in a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add the green pepper, onion, & celery, & saute until the onion & celery are tender. Add the garlic & saute an additional 1 or 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin, wine, water, tomato juice, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low & simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile remove the casings from the chorizo & saute in a little olive oil until the oil turns orange. Remove the chorizo, keep the oil & saute the seafood in small batches (don't crowd the pan) until the shrimp are bright, lobster tail chinks are bright pink & the scallops are firm & white. Keep the seafood warm until you have finished sautéing all of it. Add the seafood to the pan of vegetables & sauces. Stir gently, adjusting seasonings as necessary. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes only to meld the flavors, NO LONGER. You can add the cooked chorizo chunks to the dish, or just snack on them while you're cooking, as we always do! Remove from heat & sprinkle with fresh cilantro. NEW & NOTABLE Vilalba Arcs 2005, Terra Alta $8.99 Terra Alta is a region that is rising quickly with a reputation for terroir-driven Grenache-based wines from hardworking cooperatives, much like the province of Aragon where many of our best- selling bargains are from. A Hand Picked selection, you have the winemaking wisdom of importer Dan Kravitz at the helm of the blending process & his experience shines through with cooler Mediterranean fruits with a definite French influence. Black currants backed with spicy intensity & light licorice tannins comparable to sizably more expensive French Syrah's out there. Compliment Arc's fresh meatiness with some country pork ribs or grilled butifarra over white beans & picture yourself at a large wooden table in the rolling hills of Terra Alta... Gouguenheim Syrah 2005, Mendoza ARG $9.99 We loved Gougenheim's Cabernet from the start, & apparently you did too since it's all sold out... So we took their Syrah for a spin & gave it the green light for great value & new world finesse. A sultry number, I smelled a little peaches (!) on the nose along with sweet cassis & a smoked vanilla finish. Extra-fragrant with candied marionberries & raspberries spread on toast, look not only to Australia but to this southern realm for outstanding Shiraz! Casa Ferreirinha Esteva 2002, Douro PT $11.99 Casa Ferreirinha is best known for the iconic Barca Velha, the Vega Sicilia of Portugal. I didn't connect the dots immediately, but once I realized who produced this excellent inexpensive Douro wine it sure made a lot of sense why it's so delicious! Named after the aromatic the fragrant gum cistus bush (anyone? anyone?) which flourishes in the best viticultural areas of the Douro Valley, Esteva is a classic. Earthy cherries, floral rockrose, slightly musky with a clean style that's finished off with tangy cigarbox spices & mild tannins. Try this on for size with your next paella! Castelo de Papa Godello 2005, Valdeorras $12.99 Galicia is full of fabulous Albarino, but until quite recently the grape Godello remained a guarded secret that stayed in Spain. Now we have four different Godello-based wines to offer & they are going to be the next word in Spanish whites. Papa is brought in by Ole Imports who are out to find new projects with a fervor of kids on an Easter egg hunt. This savory white has pineapple & apricot all around the nose with a zesty kick of tartness, but a slightly nutty richness--that's what I love about this grape! And as with anything from Galicia, this will love any fish you pull from the sea, and probably a chicken or two. COLLECTOR'S CORNER Sinols Garnatxa de L'Emporda Dolc Natural, Costa Brava $21.99 An exotic new dessert wine made with Catalan Grenache! "Amber-rimmed pink. Energetic and exotic on the nose, showing a wild array of red berry and spice qualities: raspberry, strawberry, fruitcake, molasses, cinnamon, smoky bacon and minerals. Pure and seemingly dry, with excellent lift to the exotic red fruit and smoky spice flavors. Impressively fresh and tangy on the finish, with superb penetration and length. Only 75 cases will be imported." -91 points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Niepoort Vintage Port 2003 375 ml, $50.00 New half bottles from a favorite producer in fabulous half bottles! I tasted it, & it is "sexy" as they say... "Dark color. Intense aromas of blackberries, licorice and iodine. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with wonderfully integrated tannins. Long and caressing, yet wonderfully structured. Sexy. Best after 2015." -95 points, Wine Spectator Catherine Reynolds Seattle Wine Manager The Spanish Table 1426 Western Avenue Seattle, WA 98101 (206)682-2827 .

The thyroid gland is found in the neck, below the thyroid cartilage (which forms the laryngeal prominence, or "Adam's apple"). The isthmus (the bridge between the two lobes of the thyroid) is located inferior to the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid gland controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones. It participates in these processes by producing thyroid hormones, the principal ones being triiodothyronine (T ) and thyroxine which can sometimes be referred to as tetraiodothyronine (T ). These hormones 3 4 regulate the rate of metabolism and affect the growth and rate of function of many other systems in the body. T and 3 T are synthesized from both iodine and tyrosine.

    COMMANDER’S CORNER: GREATEST DEAL IN TOWN - PAGE 3 Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Thursday, August 19, 2010 Vol. 54 No. 33 Peterson children start school year with a little extra help by Monica Mendoza and Rob Bussard 21st Space Wing Public Affairs PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Children lined up Aug. 3 at the R.P. Lee Youth Center to get their back- to-school swag, school information and news about a new online tutoring program that could help them in the coming school year. The “Back to School Bash” was hosted by the 21st Force Support Squadron and provided school-age children with “tool boxes” filled with pens, pencils, scissors, crayons, notebooks and folders. The 21st FSS worked with representatives from local supporting school districts to provide the free school supplies to military families. Members of the 21st Security Forces Squadron and a mili- tary working dog were at the bash along with McGruff the Crime Dog to give safety tips. Children also learned school bus safety tips from “Buster the School Bus,” a talking, yellow bus who entertained some of the younger children. Children who live on Peterson Air Force Base are zoned for schools in the Colorado Springs School District No. 11. The first day of school for the district was Aug. 18. This school year, Air Force families will have access to a free, online tutoring service. The site, www.tutor.com/military, offers round-the-clock professional tutors who can assist with homework, studying and test preparation. Marine Corps and Army families have had access to the program for more than a year.

  • English Aragonese Gastronomy
    ENGLISH ARAGONESE GASTRONOMY The Autonomous Community of Aragon, rather than a pantry, has a gastronomic heritage shaped by the legacy of the different peoples that have passed through it. It conserves its own identity, which, with the passage of time has been supplied by the fresh food market provided by its land. These identity marks are determined by the product and its subsequent transformation in the kitchen, which leads to what is known today as a classical recipe book. Like any regional cuisine, that which is prepared with original products that are born within the territorial framework of the Autonomous Community is recognised as autochthonous. And in Aragon the geographical differentiation that exists from the high peaks of the Pyrenees in Huesca, to the Iberian System of Teruel, makes for the most varied products. There is just as much contrast in them as there is in the very relief of the territory. By incorporating a wide range of products, Aragonese cuisine is based on popular dishes that vary depending on what area they are prepared in. Whether we are dealing with meats, vegetables, fish or pulses, they make up the creed of a cuisine that at the present time is going through a phase of transition, a process of updating the old cookbook. The tastes that for decades have bubbled in the casseroles and stewpots of all the community are not forgotten but they are lightened, harmonised and balanced, while always maintaining the honesty and personality that distinguishes them. Aragonese gastronomy 2 Aragonese gastronomy Aragonese 3 gastronomy TRADITIONAL ARAGONESE CUISINE In Aragon, like in other Autonomous Communities, various kinds of cuisine and gastronomic forms coexist: traditional, classical and private cuisine on the one hand, and public, innovative and renovated cuisine on the other.

    INCENTIVES IN ZARAGOZA INDEX CULTURAL VISITS Monuments……………………………………………………3 Museums………………………………………………………. 7 Expo & Contemporary Zaragoza………………..11 SINGULAR VENUES………………………………………………14 NATURAL SPACES…………………………………………………19 ACTIVITIES & TEAM BUILDING……………………………20 SURROUNDINGS……………………………………………………27 2 CULTURAL VISITS MONUMENTS Enjoy strolling through the historic streets of the city and let yourself be amazed by the hidden spots which are there waiting silently for visitors to discover them. Museums, squares, buildings and sculptures greet you and plunge you into past cultures and avant- garde trends. We have drawn up a list of sights that you can’t miss: churches, monuments, and bridges, natural spaces... all laden with history which comes together with the emerging image of a modern and dynamic Zaragoza. Zaragoza is an interesting city to visit due to its wide range of attractions both in terms of business, congresses and conventions and cultural, religious, sporting, gastronomic and incentive trip tourism, among others. NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL PILAR BASÍLICA Basílica del Pilar is the symbol of the city par excellence. Tradition holds that the Virgin Mary came to console the Apostle Saint James (Santiago) in Zaragoza while he was preaching on the banks of the Ebro. The Virgin gave him a jasper column as a symbol of the strength that he should demonstrate in his faith. Inside you will find an image of the Virgin resting on a Pillar (Pilar), the jasper column she is said to have given to the Apostle. The alabaster High Altarpiece still boasts some of its polychrome tiles, a spectacular example of Late Renaissance architecture, finished by Damian Forment. Goya also left his mark on the temple, particularly on the dome, the setting for his fresco “Regina Martyrum”.
