Excellent bookBy Mathew L. MorrisonI'm very passionate about cooking, and Desperate Housewives is my favorite show hands down. I really enjoy thi book; so far the recipes I have made were sucesses and the ones I have not tried look good. Susan's macaroni and cheese was a huge hit at a barbeque I attended, it went in 10 minutes and I was lucky to have gotten a serving for myself. The only problem for me is that this cookbook is not made with college students on budget in mind; I'm desperate to make Bree's Basil Puree, but have yet to get enough basil to make it...I"m getting there though. Excellent addition to any cook's collection.Now I'm ready to have a volume two in this collection, a few things could include Katherine Mayfair' brioche, lemon pie, and her baking. Bob and Lee could be included with recipes for cocktails, and Angie Bolen's Italian family recipes would also be a great addition to the cookbook.

  • Superwoman Vs the Desperate Housewife”
    Exemplar for internal assessment resource English for Achievement Standard 91475 Superwoman vs The Desperate Housewife” "Desperate Housewives" aren’t just found on Wisteria Lane in Television City. They can be found in every walk of life as the result of social change over the last four decades. Forty years ago feminism was at a peak. Frustrated, bitter women wanted all the same rights as men, including being able to go out into the workforce instead of being slotted into the role of traditional housewife. Early feminists, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, and New Zealander Sue “its not your penis we envy - it’s your freedom,” Kedgley paved the way for new generations of women, making them believe that they could be Superwoman and have it all, run a household, look after their children, spend time with their hubby and friends as well as have a successful career. But some would say this just set women up for a fall in the future. And they’re right. Today, more and more women are deciding that while it is possible to juggle all these factors, it‘s simply too difficult. Being Superwoman doesn’t mean that women achieve at a super high level across the board, impressing everyone with their “amazing powers” with a quick flick of their red cape and toss of their tiara topped hair. No, it means difficult choices have to be made: women can’t neglect their children but they can’t neglect their job either, not if they want that promotion. Guilt comes naturally to women. If they aren't being 'Superwoman', they feel guilty.

  • How Actress Marcia Cross Learned to Manage Severe Migraines
    SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2006 BY LINDA CHILDERS How Actress Marcia Cross Learned to Manage Severe Migraines Cross found ways to limit debilitating migraines —and found serenity on TV's ho}est series, "Desperate Housewives." Marcia Cross knew desperation long before she took up residence on Wisteria Lane. She was only 14 when her first migraine left her frightened and writhing in pain. For the next 20 years, migraines would drive her to the school nurse's office, off the set of the TV shows she starred on, and ultimately even to the emergency room. These days, ironically, her character on the hit series "Desperate Housewives," the Stepford-like Bree Van De Kamp, would seem an ideal candidate for migraines. Bree's tightly wound personality is strained by events that couldn't be more stressful: her first husband was killed by her psychotic suitor, her second husband murdered his first wife, her estranged teenage children are out of control, and not coincidentally she's got a drinking problem. All of which she tries to hide behind her porcelain smile and her perfect garden. Cross has taken up yoga to reduce stress and the risk of migraines. As hard as Bree Van De Kamp works to keep up appearances on Wisteria Lane, even Marcia Cross herself is surprised that her character hasn't suffered so much as a single headache in the first three seasons of TV's hottest show. "You know," Cross muses, breaking into a genuine smile, "I might have to ask the writers about putting it in." Then again, as she's quick to point out, in real life she's nothing like the fictional Bree, who's a consummate control freak.

  • Activating Theory in the Introductory Classroom: Erving Goffman Visits Wisteria Lane
    The Journal of Effective Teaching an online journal devoted to teaching excellence Activating Theory in the Introductory Classroom: Erving Goffman Visits Wisteria Lane Lisa A. Melander1a and Susan L. Wortmannb aKansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 bNebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, NE 68504 Abstract Instructors of large, general education lecture courses face a number of student engage- ment and learning challenges. In this article, we develop and assess an interactive lecture that introduces a theoretical perspective and three related concepts to two introductory sociology general education classrooms (n = 433). This interactive lecture consists of nar- rated illustrative clips from the popular culture television series Desperate Housewives, a series of mini-lectures to accompany PowerPoint slides, gapped lecture note handouts, and student interaction. We assess student comprehension at three different points in time: in a pre-survey, in the class period following the interactive lecture, and on the mid- term exam two weeks later. Students reacted positively to the exercise and showed an improvement on their scores at both assessment periods. Keywords: Large interactive lecture, theory, popular culture. Instructors of large general education college courses face a number of basic challenges. Their classes are often filled with first year students who may find this typically imper- sonal and standardized instructional format disorienting and overwhelming (Baker, 1976; Bassis & Allen, 1976). These courses often suffer lower attendance, interaction, interest, and engagement (Borden & Burton, 1999). Instructors note that it is difficult to connect with students (Armstrong, 2008; Geske, 1992) and elicit their feedback (Bridges & Des- mond, 2000; Wilson & Tauxe, 1986). In these settings, lecture is still the most commonly used format (Mulryan-Kyne, 2010).
