By J. DeVoy Last week, the Ninth Circuit ruled in Coyote Publishing Inc. v. Nevada that Nevada’s restrictions on brothel advertising are lawful, holding that the state has an interest in regulating commoditized sex.  This decision overturned the U.S. District Court of Nevada’s decision, which held that such regulations were unconstitutionally overreached pure commercial speech, and [...]

Today is St. Patrick's Day and, while I have no Irish ancestors that I know of, I'm making this stew for tonight. The stew itself is one I've made before but the Caraway Dumplings are a new addition. Traditionally Caraway Dumplings are served with chicken stew but this seems like a perfect pairing.

For the stew:
Remove a 3-4 lb. corned beef brisket from package. Rinse and place in a heavy pot (Dutch oven) with 1 quart beef broth (and the seasoning packet if one comes with your brisket). Bring to a full boil then reduce heat and simmer 3-5 hours until the brisket is falling apart (you can do this in crockpot if you have one large enough.) Remove the brisket to a platter and turn off the heat. It is best to do this a couple hours before you plan to serve so the broth has time to cool and you can skim off the fat.

Prepare the dumplings: Combine 2 eggs with 1 ¼ c. flour and ½ c. corn meal. Add 1 tsp salt. ½ tsp. pepper, ½ tsp. onion powder, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, and 2 tbsp. caraway seeds. Beat together then pour in 1 c. half and half (or milk). You may add a little more if needed to make a sticky but firm dough. Set aside to rest.

Prepare vegetables: While the meat and broth cool you can prepare your vegetables. Cut a small head of cabbage into wedges, remove core and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice 3 carrots. Chop one medium onion. Clean and cut into pieces 1 lb. of green string beans (or you can use a package of frozen cut green beans). You may also use potatoes if you like but I won't use them because the dumplings provide enough carbohydrates.

When the broth is cooled skim off as much fat as possible and add the carrots, onions and beans. Simmer until just tender then add cabbage (3-4 cups). You want the cabbage to stay a little crisp. Meanwhile cut the brisket into bite-sized chunks removing fat as you do so.

When the cabbage is just starting to turn translucent bring the broth to a rolling boil. Add the beef and then, with broth boiling, drop the dumplings by tablespoonfuls into it. Allow to boil for 10 minutes turning the dumplings once. Remove from heat and serve.

That's it. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Thanks for reading.
FOB(friend of the blog) Jerry Ackerman sent me a link to some great video footage of the Northeaster from Blogger Dan Kennedy.  What a difference a day makes as his video was shot during the storm.  I’m wondering how he kept his camera from being completely encrusted in salt while taking this video- Check out Dan [...]
For lunch yesterday my buddy David Cox and I went down to the Back Shore to catch some of the beautiful scenery for our viewers.  I’m guessing David was up all last night editing his stuff as he normally does.  Here’s David doing what he loves most- David Cox Shooting After The Storm on The Back [...]

Best puppy name?

By J. DeVoy Fenrir, or Cerberus?  If you’re getting several female puppies, or a succession of them, make sure to work Gorgon into their names.  Easily the most prestigious sisterhood in all antiquity.  Have any national sororities tried to lay claim on the Gorgon name and legacy? Filed under: misc

My day started at 1am when my sump pump failed. My gas hot water heater and gas furnace was starting to go under water and I started bailing away. After about 20 minutes the water was still gaining on me so a call to the Gloucester Fire Department was made. The crew from Engine 4 arrived luckily with the last portable pump available. Thanks to them I was able to replace my sump pump with a new
