Fast, flavorful shrimp fajitas McClatchy Newspapers
Kneadless effort McClatchy Newspapers
T
he aroma of fresh-baked yeast bread can do more for the soul in winter than cuddling under a warm blanket with a great book. And baking bread can be simple, it’s just time consuming when you have to knead it for 20 minutes, and let it rise a couple of times. When you make batter bread, you get a delicious-tasting loaf of bread in half
Handy
tips Check yeast package expiration date. Test temperature of liquid ingredients with your hand or instant-read thermometer (105 to 115 F for active dry yeast; 95 F for compressed, fresh yeast). For golden brown crust: Before baking, brush top of bread loaf with egg wash (egg mixed with milk or water). Or, before baking, brush top of loaf with milk. For softer crust: As soon as bread is removed from oven, brush top with melted butter. Wrap hot baked bread in a clean kitchen towel; cool completely wrapped in the towel. To avoid random cracks on top, just before baking slash top of bread with a very sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
the time. Batter yeast breads are easy to mix and rise quickly. They don’t have to be shaped because they take on the shape of the pan or bowl in which they are baked. The bread can be baked in cake pans, casserole dishes, pie plates, coffee cans, muffin tins or a cast-iron skillet. Remember to fill containers half full to allow space for rising. Because the dough is not kneaded, the bread is coarser in shape and texture than bread
2½ to 3 cups flour, or enough flour to make a stiff batter. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Cover and let rest about 10 minutes. Stir batter down. Beat vigorously for about 30 seconds. Pour batter into a greased 9- by 5-inch loaf pan and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
Beer Batter Bread 3 cups self-rising flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 12 ounces beer 2 tablespoons melted butter Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter 8- by 4-inch loaf pan and set aside. In large bowl, combine flour,
sugar, salt and beer; mix well. Mixture will be sticky. Pour into loaf pan; bake for about 55 minutes. At last three minutes of baking, remove from oven, brush loaf top with melted butter; return to oven for final three minutes of baking.

Make homemade bread in half the time prepared with kneaded dough. Since it has a higher ratio of liquid to flour and other dry ingredients, beating the batter a few minutes develops the gluten, though not as much as a kneaded bread. The dough rises only once, in the bread pan. Batter breads generally do not rise as high as kneaded breads, but they provide a wonderful smell of yeast bread throughout the house, and the taste is delightful.

Serve these flavorful shrimp fajitas for a weeknight meal, or make a bigger batch for a group feast. The shrimp marinade in the recipe works well, but if pressed for time you could substitute a purchased fajita sauce. Corn and black bean salad is a festive, colorful side dish. Here’s how to make it: Toss 1 cup frozen corn kernels (defrosted) and 1 cup lowsodium rinsed and drained black beans with¼ cup reduced-fat vinaigrette. Spoon into 2 large romaine lettuce leaves. Makes 2 servings. The onion and bell pepper can be sauteed in advance. Warm for a minute and add the shrimp to cook just before serving. Warmed tortillas can be wrapped in foil and kept warm for an hour. This meal contains 623 calories per serving with 25 percent of calories from fat. Marinade: 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided use 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin 3/4 pound uncooked, peeled shrimp Salt and freshly ground pepper Fajitas: 3/4 cup sliced onion 3/4 cup sliced red or green bell pepper Salt and freshly ground pepper 2 (8-inch) flour tortillas Mix 2 teaspoons olive oil with vinegar, garlic, chili powder and ground cumin in bowl. Add shrimp and toss well. Set aside. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add onion and red bell pepper. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to plate. Add shrimp and marinade. Saute 2 minutes or until shrimp just turn pink. Remove to serving dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap tortillas in paper towel; microwave 30 seconds. Remove to another serving dish. To serve, place warm tortillas, shrimp and vegetables on the table. Each person can make their own fajita by placing the fillings in the center of each tortilla.

Laser-guided pizza cutter can make anyone a slicing expert Cutting-edge technology
ThinkGeek.com has introduced the Tactical LaserGuided Pizza Cutter, at a suggested $29.95, for helping to achieve straight-line precision in those difficult four-cut (eight-slice) pizza formulations. From the Japanese lingerie manufacturer Ravijour comes a bra whose front clasp can be locked unless its built-in heart-rate monitor signifies that the heartbeat is characteristic of “true love.” Ravijour said it is still testing the bra.

Two recently fried Greek hand pies.
Pie
Adding artichoke hearts worked well with recipe From page 1 So, I probably went a little overboard this past weekend. I set out to make a meat pasty, or hand pie, like one my sweetie and I got on our Highlands honeymoon. Then, I got carried away, and didn’t do that at all. Someday, gracing this space, I swear I’ll actually do that. What happened was that when I thought of hand pies, I thought of these delicious Greek hand pies I have made several times before, but haven’t made in awhile. Well, as fine as British cooking is, I didn’t think it’d blend well with the Mediterranean food. So, I came up with a new plan: a meat pasty with Middle Eastern flavors.
Greek Hand Pies 3 ½ cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 sticks butter 1 cup milk 1 pound ground venison 1 large carrot, diced 2 scallions, sliced 1 /2 can quartered artichokes, chopped 1 cup frozen sweet peas ½ cup pine nuts, optional 4 teaspoons allspice 3 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons ginger 1 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons cinnamon Oil, for frying 1 egg white
B u t wa i t , m y s to r y gets better. I pulled out my trusty copy of the “Arabesque” cookbook, hoping to find a good meat pie there. Sadly, I did not. But I did find a recipe for delightful-sounding cheese pies. So, I added that to my to-make list, and came up with my own dang Middle Eastern pasty recipe. In all, I had my hands full making a handful of hand pies. The little cheese pies involved rolling out puff pastry, and stuffing small rounds of the dough with a mixture of mozzarella cheese, feta cheese and Make the dough by mixing flour and salt with butter using a pastry blender or food processor. Slowly mix in milk, and knead until consistency is right. Refrigerate for an hour or until ready to use. Preheat oven to 350 F. Add oil to a large pan, and cook carrots and scallions over medium heat for two to three minutes. Add venison, and cook until brown. Add artichokes, peas and pine nuts. Cook for a couple minutes. Add spices and stir to coat. Cook a couple minutes more, and then remove from heat. Divide dough into six equal pieces. Roll out one piece of dough,
eggs. It was pretty easy, and made for a good midday snack in between making my other hand pie doughs. The Greek hand pies are by far one of the better things I’ve made from “Food & Wine” (nothing against the magazine; they’re just that good). The recipe is available online at: http://www. foodandwine.com/recipes/ greek-hand-pies-withgreens-dill-mint-and-feta. I tweaked it a bit this time, because I had leftover artichoke hearts from the meat pies so I added those in, and it definitely worked well. As for my own pies, well, they could use some more tweaking, but they were devoured within a few days of making them, so all in all, not too terrible. Here’s the recipe I used, for others to tweak themselves: and cut into about an 8-inch circle using a plate as a guide. Mound one-sixth of the meat mixture onto the circle of dough. Coat edges of the dough with water and fold it in half. Use a fork to seal edges. Repeat that process five more times with remaining pieces of dough. Coat hand pies in an egg wash (egg white plus 1 teaspoon tap water, whisked), and bake 40 to 45 minutes.
“Does Germany really need a gourmet restaurant for dogs?” asked Berlin’s Bild newspaper. Regardless, the Pets Deli in the Grunewald neighborhood of Berlin offers servings for the equivalent of about $4 to $6, either take-out or arranged in metal bowls on Pets Deli’s floor. Said owner David Spanier, lauding his upscale, healthful treats, “Junk food is bad for animals.”
subsidiaries, and a UPMC spokesman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in October that he not only did not know which subsidiary the UPMC CEO worked for but which one he himself worked for. He also said he did not know how many of the subsidiaries paid payroll taxes, but a UPMC attorney said its arrangement is “widely practiced throughout the business community.”
Tax credits
A group of legal prostitutes in the Netherlands began a campaign in December to have their occupation officially termed so dangerous
and physically challenging that they should be allowed, as soccer players are, to save in tax-free pension funds. They carry out “difficult physical work,” their lawyer said, and their careers are likewise short-lived and much better suited for the young. Furthermore, he pointed out, prostitutes are not able, postcareer, to earn money coaching or by endorsements.
Economic indicator
Somalia’s coastal pirates, having peaked in 2009 in boat captures, may now be laying low only because of the familiar business problem of “inventory management.” A November analysis by Quartz showed the pirates with such a surplus of hijacked vessels still with earnings potential that they would likely wind those down before taking to the seas again.
Cost comparisons
American health-care reformers routinely decry the inability of consumerpatients to compare prices of services to help drive down the costs. Two doctors, writing for the Journal of the American Medical Association in December, illuminated the problem by surveying 20 hospitals in the Philadelphia area. Nineteen fully disclosed the prices for parking in the hospital garage and potential discounts were shown, but only three of the 20 would disclose their prices for routine electrocardiograms ($137, $600, $1,200).
Perspective
In ubiquitous public relations announcements around Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center proudly points to its 52,000-person workforce delivering high-quality care. However, when the government sought to collect payroll taxes on UPMC, the company claimed it owed nothing because not a single employee actually works for UPMC. All 52,000 are, technically, on the books of UPMC’s 40-plus

MYSTERY SOLVED
Author’s first novel now available in paperback HOLLY HUDSON
A synopsis of “The Fat Woman Mystery”
holly.hudson@wcfcourier.com
GRUNDY CENTER — Sandy Noble has lived in a lot of places and worn a number of different hats. Noble grew up in Des Moines and graduated from Urbandale High School. After marrying and starting a family, she lived in various states, including Colorado, Washington and Alaska. She has worked in a book store, a grocery store and laundry. She’s been a caregiver, owned a travel agency and was the assistant director of the Head Start program in Black Hawk and Buchanan counties. Now, she can add author to her resume. Noble, 71, recently published her first novel, “The Fat Woman Mystery,” has completed a romance novel and is currently working on a second “Fat Woman” book. Noble, now living in Grundy Center, has always loved the written word. “I was an avid reader all the time growing up,” she said. “My dad fed me books.” Noble’s initial inkling of trying her hand at writing came in, of all places, the line in a grocery store. “There was a magazine, Women’s World, that published submitted stories called Flash Fiction,” she said. “ They would pay $1,000 for a 1,500-word story.”
Margaret Henze O’Brian, a widow, lives in a small Iowa town, in a big old house, with her cat Ruby. She considers herself half German and half Conehead. German, because that’s her heritage, and Conehead because of her mass consumption of calories. The Fit Girls, Margaret’s diet support group, think her recent weight gain is the result of depression over her husband’s death. Margaret has more than her diet to think of after she stumbles over a body, and a friend is accused of murder. Not wanting to be left out of the excitement, the Fit Girls join Margaret in her attempt to solve the crime and are soon immersed in small-town scandal, gossip and mystery. And when two handsome men seem interested in her ample body, life is suddenly fascinating. Now if only Margaret can stay alive long enough to enjoy this new lease on life.
Noble bought the magazine every week for eight weeks, studying the published stories. “I made a chart of what the editor was looking for,” she said. “I found out the women in the stories were sweet and kind, that they were working caregivers like teachers or nurses. They usually had pets, and holiday stories seemed to be popular.” For her first submission, Noble wrote a Thanksgiving story, then a Christmas story, then a Father’s Day story. The magazine bought all of them. “They published a lot of my stories over the years,” Noble said. “I got a few rejections.” T h a t N o b l e ’s f i r s t

novel is a mystery isn’t a surprise. “I used to write murder mystery scripts,” she said. As part of a group that performed at hotels and a dinner train, Noble wrote about two dozen scripts. “Then I thought I’d try my hand at novels,” she said. It took her about three months to pen her first book. But the novel would take a back seat when tragedy struck. “In one year my mom died of cancer, my husband
died and my dog died,” she said. “I lost it.” While she grieved, friends and family continued to talk about the novel, asking for copies and urging her to get it published. E v e n t u a l l y, N o b l e decided to put her novel on Amazon.com as an e-book, where it sold well and received excellent reviews. A paperback version is now available. “It’s done well enough that I was able to quit my job,” she said. Noble included a few nods to family and friends in the book. It is set in Alta Grove in McCall County. “A l ta wa s m y d a d ’s mother’s name,” she said. “McCall was Alta’s maiden name.” Noble’s heroine lives in a big, old house, just as Noble does. “You don’t have to try to figure out where she lives,” Noble said. “She lives here.” Noble is currently promoting her book, speaking to local organizations and at area libraries. “It’s been a blast,” she said. “I’ve heard from friends from all over the country, and people I barely know have taken the time to send me a note or stop me on the street. I think that’s amazing.”

North Star blog gives disabled people a voice From page 3 I am lucky to have the forum I do to give people some insight into what it means to be Sean and what it means to love him. Recently, another forum has become available for people with disabilities to speak out, on a number of topics, in their own words. North Star Community Services, where Sean was a consumer for years, has launched “See Through O u r E y e s .” ( h t t p : // seethroughoureyes.wordpress.com/) Men and women who receive services at North Star write about whatever they want. Topics have included what they are thankful for, remembrances of friends who have passed away and personal milestones. Jordan, who has Cerebral Palsy and uses a wheelchair, wrote about losing her service dog of more than seven years, sharing a letter to Buddy, her best friend. “We met in August 2006, and you’ve changed my life forever.

no exception. Fans of the series should be pleased at the tweaks to the gameplay, which keep it feeling fresh without venturing too far afield. And it’s nice to get back to a cast of familiar faces after three sequels of random newbies.

at night in my bed. Nothing will ever be the same without you around, and no dog can ever replace you.” Gary shared his New Year’s resolutions. “Go on a diet, cut down on portions and not make the noises I make, because I am tired of people getting on me.” The entries are refreshingly honest and insightful, and some are just heartbreaking.
“My name is Nic, and I attend North Star’s Head Injury Program. A head injury is something I would not wish upon my worst enemy. I was 21 when I had my head injury. It is a very difficult affliction to have to deal with. I fell at home, hit my head on the ice and in less (than) 6 hours, I was in a coma that lasted 5 and a half to 6 months, followed with about a year of rehab. … I still am unable to walk steadily, control some of
my social skills, or even sustain a lasting relationship. So I will probably die a lonely old man…” Some entries will make you laugh, others will make you cry, but they will all make you think.

For a different perspective on things, “The Guided Fate Paradox” takes place in Celestia, where God trains by granting wishes through the use of a complicated computer system. It’s an interesting, more adventure-type game set in the “Disgaea” universe. “Paradox” is built on the “Disgaea” engine, retaining the animation style, the gridbased movement, the extensive item catalog and that awesomely goofy jumping. But instead of controlling an entire party, you’ve got Renya, the new God, and a mostly autonomous angel companion. Levels are slightly labyrinthine affairs waiting to be explored, teeming with enemies who move one space for every space Renya does. Blows are traded back and forth in quick succession as Renya searches for the exit to the next floor. While the ratio of story
to combat is about 1:5 in a “Disgaea” game, it’s about the opposite in “Paradox.” It’s interesting, but repetitive,
so I reluctantly recommend reading ahead of the voice acting and getting on with the show.
