      <title>甲状腺がんが見つかった場合、すぐに手術が必要ですか?</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;//silkworm.mamagoto.com/File/1.png&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1721112441/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;甲状腺腫瘍は良性と悪性に分けられ、甲状腺がんの中でも悪性腫瘍として乳頭がん、濾胞がん、髄様がん、未分化がんがあります。その中で、乳頭がんの発生率と増加の程度は比較的明らかです。若年層と中年層の罹患率が高く、男性と女性の罹患率は1：3です。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;早期の甲状腺がんは比較的治癒率が良い&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;甲状腺がんの発生率は年々増加していますが、その治癒と予後は比較的良好です。悪性乳頭がんであっても生存率は非常に高いです。臨床統計によると、乳頭がんの 20 年生存率は 80% ～ 90% 以上に達する可能性があります。予後は非常に良好で、再発率は3%未満です。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;再発しても手術やヨウ素131で治療を続けることができ、治癒効果も良好です。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;現在、臨床的に行われている甲状腺の治療法は主に手術、アイソトープ療法、ホルモン療法です。甲状腺がんの治療の第一選択は手術です。&lt;a style=&quot;color: #000000; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.hkioc.com.hk/cancer-types/thyroid-cancer/&quot;&gt;甲狀腺癌&lt;/a&gt;しかし、甲状腺がんに対する医学界の理解が深まりつつあるため、これらの単一の低リスク甲状腺がんに対しては手術は推奨されなくなりました。しかし、具体的な治療法を選択するには専門の医師が判断する必要があります。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;外科的治療では、完全に切除される場合もあれば、病気の体の一部が切除される場合もあります。手術後、患者は甲状腺機能低下症を予防するホルモンであるチロキシン製剤を生涯服用する必要があります。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;甲状腺がんは全手術後でも再発する可能性があります。南寧第二人民医院の腫瘍内科医、Zhan Yongzi氏は、手術前に甲状腺がんがリンパ節に転移していた場合、たとえ全切除が行われたとしても再発の可能性は非常に高く、もちろん再発の可能性は低いと述べた。シフト。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;再発するかどうかは、甲状腺がんの種類と治療前の病気の程度によって異なります。一般に、腫瘍が腺に限定されている場合、転移の可能性は最も低くなります。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;手術後にはどのようなフォローアップ治療が必要ですか?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;甲状腺がんの患者は、甲状腺転移を防ぐために手術後に放射性薬剤のヨウ素 131 を服用する必要がある場合もあります。この経口薬は放射線療法と比べて効果が高く、副作用が最小限です。ただし、同様の治療法を採用する必要があるかどうかは、特定の状態によって異なります。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;悪性度および早期治療法が甲状腺がんの再発率に直接影響します。したがって、患者自身にとっても、手術後に薬を服用することは一般的な現象のはずです。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;この予防策により、甲状腺がんの再発をある程度軽減、軽減できます。臨床的には、根治的子宮頸部切除術後の再発率は10%～20%です。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;日常生活の中で、首を指で触って首が太くなっていないか、しこりがあるかどうかなどを確認することで、甲状腺に病変があるかどうかをある程度知ることができます。さらに、健康診断中の首の超音波検査により、甲状腺がんを適時に検出できます。病変がある場合は、適時の治療が必要です。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Seared Scallops with Spring Onion and Tarragon Cream</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/2056.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1440465700/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
About a year ago I had a wonderful dish of halibut cheeks served with grilled baby leeks and asparagus and a spring onion soubise at one of our favorite Providence restaurants, La Laiterie. That soubise has haunted me, and I&amp;rsquo;ve been waiting for just the right opportunity to try my hand at making a similar sauce at home. When this challenge was announced, I thought the super sweet Bomster scallops (from Stonington, CT) that we get at our local farmers market would pair beautifully, and happily I was right. The delicate onion flavor, in this instance enhanced with a hint of anise-y tarragon and the subtle tang of (you guessed it) cr&amp;egrave;me fraiche, played really well with the caramelized scallops, and the pale green color of the sauce whispered &amp;ldquo;spring.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastnightsdinner's scallop recipe proves that when it comes to seafood, less is often more. With just a few simple ingredients (spring onions, tarragon, butter, flour and milk), she creates a zippy, creamy sauce that's the perfect foil for sweet flesh of the scallops. And her technique of drying the scallops in the refrigerator before searing them makes for an impeccably caramelized crust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serves 4 as a main course, more as a starter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 pound wild dry sea scallops&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons unsalted butter&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup whole milk&lt;br /&gt;
Kosher or sea salt&lt;br /&gt;
1 bunch spring onions, about ? lb.&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves&lt;br /&gt;
grapeseed or other neutral oil&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons cr&amp;egrave;me fraiche&lt;br /&gt;
fresh chives for garnish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Place the scallops on a plate or platter and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trim the spring onions, separating the green tops from the small bulbs. Dice the bulbs and roughly chop the greens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped spring onion bulbs and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to low, and cook 20-25 minutes, until very soft. Add the green tops, toss through, and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until soft but still bright green. Sprinkle the flour over and cook for a minute or two, just until the raw flour smell is gone. Add the milk, raising the heat to medium, and cook briefly until thickened. Add the tarragon leaves and stir through, then turn off the heat and pour the mixture into a blender. Puree until very smooth, then return to the pan over low heat, cooking until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pour a thin film of grapeseed oil in the bottom of a saut&amp;eacute; pan and warm over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the scallops a few at a time, being careful not to crowd the pan, and sear them just couple of minutes per side until they are nicely browned and caramelized - they should release from the pan easily once they&amp;rsquo;re ready, and they should still be a little jiggly in the middle, as they will continue to cook off the heat. Set aside and keep warm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary. Whisk in the cr&amp;egrave;me fraiche off the heat until the mixture is smooth, then spoon a little of the sauce into the bottom of shallow, warmed bowls, place scallops on top, and garnish with fresh chives</description>

      <title>Tres Leches Oatmeal</title>
      <description>I like breakfast recipes that taste more like they should be dessert. This is Tres Leches Cake meets your morning oatmeal. If you are worried about calorie count, feel free to substitute the low fat counterparts of the 3 milks in the ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/1737.JPG&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1437127480/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
I substituted whole oats for the instant oatmeal in this recipe, and ended up with a hearty breakfast that satisfies. The combination of whisked milks and aromatics imparts a silky sweetness in the oats without being overwhelming. The flax seed adds a welcome texture and nuttiness, and offers a wealth of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber (making the meal, in my mind at least, fat free). To garnish, I added banana and chopped pecan pieces (it's what I have on hand), but I can imagine the fresh cut fruit pieces playing against the cream very well. This oatmeal is a quick, indulgent way to start the day &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.theztyle.com/home.php?mod=space&amp;amp;do=blog&amp;amp;view=all&amp;amp;brandid=452&quot;&gt;reenex&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serves 1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 packet instant oatmeal, original flavor&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon whole flax seed&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon butter&lt;br /&gt;
hot water&lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoons evaporated milk&lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons half and half&lt;br /&gt;
1/8 teaspoon rum flavoring&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon&lt;br /&gt;
Garnish: 1 kiwi, diced&lt;br /&gt;
Honey or agave, optional&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combine the 3 milks (tres leches): evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half. Add the vanilla, rum, and cinnamon. Whisk and set aside &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://wow.esdlife.com/space.php?uid=64297&amp;amp;do=blog&amp;amp;id=241465&quot;&gt;reenex&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a small bowl, combine the oatmeal, flax, and butter. Add hot water according to package directions. Stir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pour the milk on top of the oatmeal and garnish with diced kiwi. For a little extra sweetness, you may drizzle the top with a bit of honey or agave. Serve &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://blogcity.me/blog/reply_blog_express.asp?f=M5DTQ8BQXX244152&amp;amp;id=724522&quot;&gt;reenex&lt;/a&gt;. Strawberries, mango, and pineapple also go nicely.</description>

      <title>Cheese Toasts</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/7f994747.jpeg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1432089416/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
My mom makes these for my kids as an afternoon snack. It's a nice alternative to sweets. Be brave with the mayonnaise -- you need a lot. Go easy on the paprika. Or just skip it. The most exciting part of these toasts is biting through the hot melted cheese and BAM there's this comforting and warm layer of mayonnaise. It's very much like melted butter. But better. - Phyllis Grant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Serves 3 to 4&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 baguette&lt;br /&gt;
1/3 cup mayonnaise (or more!)&lt;br /&gt;
12 ounces creamy havarti (or your favorite meltable cheese), thinly sliced&lt;br /&gt;
Paprika, to taste&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turn your broiler on.&lt;br /&gt;
Cut the baguette in thirds, then cut each third in half. Place each half cut side-up on a sheet pan. Broil (but not too close to the flame) until the bread is crispy and lightly browned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spread each piece of bread with as much mayonnaise as you dare. Cover mayonnaise with slices of cheese. Sprinkle cheese with a very thin layer of paprika. Broil until cheese is melted and browning. Don't panic. The paprika gets almost black under the broiler. That's okay. Eat a piece as soon as you can pick it up.</description>

      <title>Throw a Hanukkah Fry Fest</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/3038.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1423019479/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Eating foods fried in oil is one of the greatest pleasures of celebrating Hanukkah. In America, the most beloved Hanukkah foods include latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). And these two deep-fried hors d'oeuvres are certainly a great place to start. But why not use Hanukkah as an excuse to indulge in other fried dishes &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://ctl.ucare88.com/category/dream-beauty-pro從不hard-sell&quot;&gt;Dream beauty pro hard sell&lt;/a&gt;? If you are planning to make latkes for a Hanukkah party, your kitchen is already destined to smell like oil -- why not embrace it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's plenty of opportunity to get creative with the deep-fryer. After all, anything that's fried in oil is fair game for a Hanukkah menu. Why not expand into non-traditionally territory? This year, Jeff Yoskowitz, co-owner of the artisanal Jewish food company, The Gefilteria, and co-author of the upcoming The Gefilte Manifesto plans on serving deep-fried homemade garlic sour pickles (&quot;I'll serve them with horseradish aioli,&quot; he said), gefilte fish (Gefilteria makes a stellar version after all), and even state-fair style fried Oreos alongside his latkes &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://en.discussdata.com/technology&quot;&gt;Dream beauty pro hard sell&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But remember, you'll appreciate all that frying even more if you balance it out with refreshingly unfried foods. &quot;It often makes for an awkward party when a host serves latkes followed by fried jelly doughnuts,&quot; says Yoskowitz. &quot;Nobody goes home with a settled stomach.&quot; He makes an important point. For the sake of your guests' satisfaction, it's a good idea to round out the offerings at a Hanukkah gathering with a few non-fried foods -- fresh salads and pickled vegetables are especially smart antidotes to all that tasty oil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ready to shake up your annual Hanukkah fry fest, or start a new tradition? Pick a dish from each category below, and get sizzling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/3038..jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1423019478/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES&lt;br /&gt;
Start things off in a (relatively) healthy fashion by frying up fruits and vegetables. Crisp up artichokes in olive oil or thinly slice fennel and fry it until it is mellow and crunchy. Or just make your latkes out of zucchini instead of (or in addition to) potatoes. Or kick off the meal with some crunchy fried plantain chips.&lt;br /&gt;
3&lt;br /&gt;
MEAT AND FISH&lt;br /&gt;
Italian Jews traditionally include fried chicken in their Hanukkah fare. In a twist on that tradition, try these rum, soy sauce &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://en.freeguide86.com/evaluation&quot;&gt;Dream beauty pro hard sell&lt;/a&gt;, and lime juice-marinated fried chicken bites. For main-course Hanukkah dishes, go for old school fish and chips or duck confit, which is decadently cooked in duck fat.&lt;br /&gt;
4&lt;br /&gt;
SNACKS&lt;br /&gt;
Give your Hanukkah guests a heartier and more satisfying nosh with delicacies like fried almonds and crispy fried chickpeas. Perhaps it's a stretch to call them healthy, but at least they pack a dose of protein!&lt;br /&gt;
5&lt;br /&gt;
SWEETS&lt;br /&gt;
Finsih off your Hanukkah fry fest with a little something sweet. And fried, of course. If you want to keep the doughnut theme, go for New Orleans-inspired beignets. Or wow your guests with a plate of tiny fried apple pies or a gorgeous Greek dish of fried pastry spirals with honey, sesame, and walnuts.</description>

      <title>Vanilla-Poached Quince Recipe</title>
      <description>What do you do with a fruit who&amp;rsquo;s flesh is gritty and rock-hard, inedibly astringent when raw, and as vexing to slice through as a tough ol&amp;rsquo; catcher&amp;rsquo;s mitt?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/2930.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1419924594/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
No one seems to know what to do when they happen upon some quince at the market. The gnarly-looking fruits seem as if they&amp;rsquo;ve just been plucked from a medieval centerpiece, surrounding by medlars and split-open pomegranates, mounded alongside sugary dates and clusters of grapes cascading over the sides of the over-sized platter of fruit, waiting to be served with perhaps a chalice of wine &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://brixwines.com.hk/yf/pauillac-wine.html&quot;&gt;discount wines&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quince should be yellow-ripe when you buy them. If bought green, quince should be allowed to ripen at room temperature for a few days until yellow and fragrant. My favorite varieties are Smyrna and Pineapple, but often you just have to pick from what&amp;rsquo;s offered.&lt;br /&gt;
Quince are usually covered with a gray layer of lint-like fuzz, which can be easily washed off. It&amp;rsquo;s a task I find as satisfying as cleaning the lint filter from the dryer.&lt;br /&gt;
(That is, when I had a dryer to clean the lint from.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most splendid thing you&amp;rsquo;ll discover about quince, however, will be the day after you bring them home: your kitchen will be filled with the most marvelous rose-and-violet-like aroma imaginable. I like the fragrance so much that I always left one on the dashboard of my car during quince season &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://pontigrandcru.com.hk/yf/cristal-champagne.html&quot;&gt;krug champagne&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(That is, when I had a car to drive around with my quince.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Paris, I think I&amp;rsquo;d get some rather peculiar looks if I tried balancing a quince anywhere level on the m&amp;eacute;tro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/2930..jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1419924600/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Since quince have lots of tannins they&amp;rsquo;re impossible to eat raw. Don&amp;rsquo;t believe me? Try a slice, and I guarantee you&amp;rsquo;ll be unable to produce saliva for a week afterwards. But you can simply grate raw quince into a bowl of sliced apples destined for an Apple and Quince Crisp, or follow my simple recipe for Quince Marmalade from Ripe For Dessert which calls for several quince to be grated and cooked with sugar and jam, until the tender bits of rosy quince are suspended in a quivering, softy-gelled syrup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fully cooked, however, quinces reveal their most beautiful side and turn a rosy-red hue. The stunning quince slices can be served warm or room temperature with some of the cooking liquid, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche, or mixed with other poached dried fruits, such as prunes, apricots, sour cherries, or cranberries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;rsquo;ll sometimes alternate quince slices with apples when making a caramelized tarte Tatin&amp;hellip;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/2930...jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1419924606/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
❤ Poached Quince&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤❤3 quince (about 2 pounds)&lt;br /&gt;
❤❤1? cups sugar&lt;br /&gt;
❤❤4? cups water&lt;br /&gt;
❤❤1/2 vanilla bean, split and the seeds scraped into the syrup&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤One caveat: Please don&amp;rsquo;t cut yourself when slicing or peeling quince. They&amp;rsquo;re tough little suckers. Tougher than you are. They&amp;rsquo;ll turn a lovely shade of red on their own without you cutting yourself while slicing them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤1. In a large non-reactive saucepan, bring the sugar &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/loop-hk/id787108684?l=zh&amp;amp;mt=8&quot;&gt;Loop Hong Kong&lt;/a&gt;, water, and the vanilla bean pod and seeds, to a boil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤2. Peel and quarter the quince using a chef&amp;rsquo;s knife.&lt;br /&gt;
❤With a paring knife, cut out the tough core and any bits of hard matter surrounding it. Take care, as the flesh is very hard (some people suggest poaching the quince with the cores, then remove them later, but I remove them).&lt;br /&gt;
❤Cut the quince quarters in half or thirds, making 1-inch slices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤3. Reduce heat to a simmer and add the quince slices to the syrup (they&amp;rsquo;ll begin to brown quickly once cut, so submerge them into the syrup as they&amp;rsquo;re sliced). Cover with a round of parchment paper, and simmer gently for about 1 ? hours, or until they&amp;rsquo;re rosy and tender (poke them with a paring knife if you need to check.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤Once poached, the quince in their liquid will keep in the refrigerator for at least 5 days. You can also use these as a base for my Quince tarte Tatin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
❤This recipe was updated, and you can find a variation of it here: Rosy Poached Quince.</description>

      <title>Wineries of South Africa – with Mulderbosch Vineyards</title>

Winegrowing has been going on in South Africa since the late 1600s , making it &amp;lsquo;the oldest of the New World producers.&amp;rsquo; Thirty years ago, the region&amp;rsquo;s wines were of uneven quality &amp;ndash; something that has demonstrably changed over the last ten or more years. The recent acquisition of Mulderbosch Vineyards by California&amp;ndash;based Terroir Capital LLC is emblematic of these changes &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://pontigrandcru.com.hk/yf/veuve_clicquot.html&quot;&gt;veuve clicquot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join us as we talk with Adam Mason, winemaker for Mulderbosch Vineyards about this re-discovered region for such classic white varieties as sauvignon blanc and chenin blanc. You&amp;rsquo;ll find there&amp;rsquo;s more to South African wines than you imagined &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://brixwines.com.hk/winequery?search=1&quot;&gt;cristal champagne&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

      <title>Sweet Stars Weekend at Duncan Hines</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349841/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
You may remember that a while back, I was chosen to be one of Duncan Hines&amp;rsquo; Passionate Bloggers. Recently, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days touring the facilities at Duncan Hines and learning some tips and tricks from their chefs. Joining me on the trip were a group of bloggers, recipe contest winners, and the winners of the Passionate Bloggers&amp;rsquo; trip giveaways. All together, there were 43 of us there to enjoy the fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We kicked things off with cocktails followed by a wonderful dinner. After dinner, we got to sample the desserts that won the Frosting Creations recipe contest. Oh, my. There were so many great ones, and I sampled as many as I could. Such delicious, creative desserts like Neapolitan Fudge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day as we arrived at Pinnacle Foods, we were greeted with our very own red carpet, complete with balloons and a star bearing each of our names. We each located our stars and, of course, posed with them for photos. I knew we were going to have a great day after such a warm welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725..jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349840/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We toured the facilities, where we got glimpses into their labs to see how the magic happens. We learned about all of Pinnacle&amp;rsquo;s products, such as Comstock and Vlasic. I loved that the walls of one of their meeting rooms are lined with shelves full of their products.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725...jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349839/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Afterwards, we watched a cake decorating demo with Beth Somers from Wilton. Frequent readers of BoB know that I am not very confident in my cake decorating skills. Beth made it look so easy, that she had even me believing I could make beautifully decorated cakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725....jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349838/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
That afternoon, we were treated to a series of demos by Chef Joe, Duncan Hines&amp;rsquo; Executive Pastry Chef. We started out learning about some basics and watched as he built on those to create some beautiful desserts &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.citictel-cpc.com/EN/HK/Pages/product-category/internet-data-center&quot;&gt;Cloud Hosting&lt;/a&gt;, from Baked Alaska to a beautifully patterned cake made with the help of a radiator screen!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725.....jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349837/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, we got to sample a lot of good stuff like chocolate sauce and caramel and mousse and so much more. Chef Joe also shared a lot of great tips with us, like how to make a pie crust out of a cake mix. I&amp;rsquo;m still thinking about what I want to make with that knowledge. There was even more food that evening with a wonderful dinner buffet and countless beautiful desserts.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725......jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349836/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;rsquo;ve been to events with other bloggers before, and that&amp;rsquo;s always a lot of fun. But, it was so great to spend time with the contest winners, too. The winner of the giveaway on BoB was Ilissa, who is in the photo above with me. She is such a sweetheart, and it was so exciting to meet someone who actually reads this blog. I know you&amp;rsquo;re all out there, but I just don&amp;rsquo;t get to meet many of you in person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/0725.......jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1415349835/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A few of my favorite Sweet Stars: Stephanie, Aimee, Toni, and Shelly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All too soon, it was time to say our goodbyes to Duncan Hines and each other. I loved meeting all of the recipe contest winners and giveaway winners. And, as always, I loved talking &amp;ldquo;shop&amp;rdquo; with a great group of very talented bloggers. Many thanks go to the good people of Pinnacle Foods &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.formationbusiness.com/outsourcing-payroll.html&quot;&gt;Payroll Outsourcing Services&lt;/a&gt;, Wilton, Sheraton Parsippany, and everyone who made the weekend so memorable and fun.</description>

      <title> the Firefly will live out its</title>
      <description>In a blog post, Waymo lead industrial designer YooJung Ahn and lead systems engineer Jaime Waydo pointed out that the koala-faced car was never intended for mass production. It was designed in 2013 so that the team could learn how a car without a steering wheel or pedals would even work. That&amp;rsquo;s how Waymo figured out that the sensors could see more and process data more efficiently if they were all together in a dome on top of the roof. By 2015, Firefly could take a fully autonomous drive with a blind man inside and no human backup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Firefly had some drawbacks, like a top speed of 25 mph. That&amp;rsquo;s great when you&amp;rsquo;re working out the very basics of autonomous driving, but it&amp;rsquo;s not enough for most real-world streets. There were only about 50 Fireflies in the fleet at best, and while they racked up millions of miles of test drives, that&amp;rsquo;s still not enough &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adonjewelry.com/&quot; style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Handmade accessories&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so life in museums around the world, including the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, and the Design Museum in Lo&lt;span id=&quot;transmark&quot; style=&quot;display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ndon. A pretty cushy retirement for a robot .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waymo will press on, of course, with a far bigger fleet in number and vehicle size. It&amp;rsquo;s using 600 Chrysler Pacifica minivans that can travel at normal speeds and have all the things people usually want in cars, like more than two seats, in its latest tests. If you live in the Phoenix, Arizona, metro area, you can join Waymo&amp;rsquo;s Early Rider Program to take these vehicles to the places you normally go, like work or school &lt;a style=&quot;color: #313431; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.citictel-cpc.com/EN/HK/Pages/product-services/trustcsi-mfs&quot;&gt;Next Generation Firewall&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

      <title>Crostini: The Ultimate Easy Summer Appetizer</title>
      <description>&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/2637.jpg&quot; title=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://file.silkworm.mamagoto.com/Img/1411921063/&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
I'm a huge fan of entertaining, be it a simple weeknight dinner for four or a Saturday night feast for 15. And while I'm relatively content with my rotation of side salads and main dishes, one course always leaves me stumped: appetizers &lt;a style=&quot;color: #333333; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.beauty361.com/elyze.html&quot;&gt;elyze&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's such a fine line between providing just enough of a taste to tempt guests' palates and filling them beyond capacity before the main course even makes its entrance. Enter the crostini, a classic appetizer option with endless topping possibilities &lt;a style=&quot;color: #333333; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.beauty4good.com/elyze.html&quot;&gt;elyze&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our friends over at Bon App&amp;eacute;tit are serving up a quick and easy crostini topper in the form of a white bean tapenade made with fresh lemon and chile. And our Epicurious Community Table members are joining the crostini craze with summery Roasted Tomato and Garlic Crostini, simple Feta Crostini, and hearty Lamb Bruschetta with Cherry Glaze. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sliced bread for crostini can be broiled in an oven or toasted atop a grill for added smoky flavor. Remember to consider the texture of your toppings, piling on your choice of creamy cheeses, crisp veggies, or assorted sliced meats. Also consider a mix of sweet and salty tastes, such as the classic combination of fresh ricotta and a drizzle of honey &lt;a style=&quot;color: #333333; text-decoration: none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.beauty-kingdom.com/el.html&quot;&gt;elyze&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What's your favorite crostini topping?</description>
