npr: Butterscotch seemed to have fallen out of fashion, but food writer Rina Rapuano says she’s seeing glimmers of a comeback. And it goes beyond hard candies and instant pudding. The revival of this old-fashioned flavor inspires a crepe cake, a chocolate-crusted tart and more. — Kitchen Window: Bringing Back Butterscotch Get recipes for Banana Crepe Cake With Yogurt And Walnut Butterscotch (above), Butterscotch Ice Cream, Chocolate Lovers’ Butterscotch Chiffon Tart, Butterscotch And Black Pepper Carrots and Butterscotch Pudding.

Favourite Movies: Forrest Gump.

↳ “Jenny, I don’t know if Momma was right or if, if it’s Lieutenant Dan. I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it’s both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.”

I love Forest Gump.

npr: Unlike many celebrity chefs, who treat cooking like some mystical and convoluted ritual, Ina Garten (The Barefoot Countessa) approaches each dish with the nonchalance of someone who could be doing something else. That’s because she could be. Between 1974 and 1978, Garten worked in the Office of Management and Budget at the White House; starting in 1976, she was responsible for the budget of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and for part of the Department of Energy’s. How Garten went from analyzing nuclear policy to overseeing her own cooking empire is one of the unlikelier stories of American reinvention. — How Ina Garten went from nuclear policy analyst to beloved chef.

Kaua’i police generally don’t release the names of victims or persons involved in most incidents, but we thought these guys deserved to be the exception to the rule. Meet our local heroes! From L-R: Kekoa Agustin; Clifton Mission; Clifford Mission (Clifton’s father); and Dominick Abalos; seen here with missing hiker Pam Dohrman. Pam is still smiling after spending two nights in the wet and very cold Kokee Valley, surviving on little food and water. This photo was taken shortly after these men carried Pam on their backs up a nearly 100-foot vertical cliff, back up to the Kaluapuhi Trail Monday morning. Mahalo to these young men and to ALL of our first responders, Ms. Dohrman’s family and friends, and community volunteers who refused to give up their search. We are all so thankful that Pam was found safe, healthy, and VERY happy! Lucky we live Kaua’i!(Photo contributed by Kauai Police Department) This is awesome, Kaua’i!
