can you tell i couldn't think of a fancy name for this meal?
(phew)
anyways, this was one of those recipes that came about on a whim. a few of us couldn't figure out what we were hungry for, but i was dead set on using some roasted mock duck....so blackened mock duck sandwiches it is, my friends!
oh, and the lotus root? another great find at united noodle (an awesome, asian grocer in minneapolis).
(a good suggestion for this meal was to put this in a wrap instead of using a baguette...feel free to experiment!)
lotus root and parsley salad w/ red onion, walnuts and raspberry vinaigrette
2 cups lotus root (you can use cucumber if you cannot find this)
1 red onion - sliced thin
1 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 cup toasted walnuts - chopped
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp white wine
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp raw sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
soak the lotus root in cold water for 30 minutes; drain.
in a small blender, combine the raspberries, vinegar, white wine, salt and sugar. blend until smooth. slowly add the olive oil; blend again. in a medium bowl combine the lotus root, toasted walnuts, red onions and parsley. toss together with your vinaigrette just before serving (the lotus root absorbs the dressing pretty quickly, so you might want to have some extra on hand).
in a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder and dried parsley.
in your skillet, fry up your peppers and onions until al dente. remove and set aside.
coat each mock duck fillet with the dried mix and sear in the heated olive oil. cook until each fillet is blackened and crispy to the touch.
in a heated oven or grill, take a large baguette, slice into 4 large sandwich loaves. drizzle a bit of olive oil on each. heat in the oven/grill until slightly toasted.
build your sandwich as follows:
romaine
creamy cashew sauce
blackened mock duck
peppers
onions
more creamy cashew sauce
finish each one off with a slight drizzle of olive oil.
serve with a good pinot noir.
enjoy!

I thought the point was to test my knegwodle of Latin.The reason for saying why shouldn't you blog is that this is an easier question to answer than why should you . Whether or not blogging has made the difference, if it corrolates, why stop?

In a windows vm environment when configuring the web server i have found i have to import the default was certificate into both http and plug-in key stores or ssl doesn't workfor clustering you HAVE to change the min max size of the jvm for the addnode script and deployment manager or federation failsand there of course is the whole if you move db / file store which i blogged on the connections blog.I have my own guide (which uses oracle / AD ) so i can give you a copy of that if it helps

Lotus Notes is still in heavy use in corporations. Two I know about are the gamren army (Bundeswehr) and Bayer (third largest pharmaceutical company) have thousands of workstations with Notes in use.Thanks for the pointer at Campaign Preview, that looks very handy.

Lotus Notes v6 is indeed utter hell to build for. I work for Ogilvy Interactive. As IBM, who own Lotus are an iaanrnttioenl client of ours, the unwritten client loyalty contract dictates that we use Notes across the board in all Ogilvy agencies. The rendering engine in versions less than 8 makes zero sense. Did you know that scrollbars used to be optional in Notes? Even when the content demanded them. So if you hadn't turned on the scrollbars in your preferences, the part of your mail that required scrolling was not available. Utter lunacy.
