editor’s thoughts

SAME DIFFERENCE I’m just going to say that sometimes, only sometimes, I may confuse

my left with my right and vice versa. I don’t know why I still do not know

the difference AT TIMES; maybe I was absent that day in preschool when

they were teaching the concept or maybe my parents didn’t feel it was

necessary to stress the difference to me. I mean it’s probably not a big deal

right? Okay, the truth is, YES it is okay to be slightly forgetful of the exact

direction we are going when we’re in elementary school, but as we get older

and are given certain responsibilities like--let’s say--being the map reader on

trips, that’s when things get a little complicated.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m actually pretty good at the directions

themselves. If I were to go from point A to point B, I could get there easily.

It’s the giving of the directions that kind of messes me up, SOMETIMES. It’s

tough, okay? I mean, it’s a pressured situation and people are screaming to

you, “What’s the next street we turn at?” and you panic and you just point

left in the direction you want them to turn and you yell, “Make a right at

Powell Street…”

Whoops. My…bad? And don’t start telling me to use the whole hand

rule where you make an “L” with your left hand. It makes sense in theory,

but then sometimes I end up confusing the backwards “L” for the real “L”,

and that’s no good. Now you’re probably telling me to use the method

where I think of the hand that I write with (which is the right one if you’re

wondering), but even then, you’ll see me trying to imagine myself writing

with the left hand. It’s an endless goose chase.

Let’s not forget though, I said SOMETIMES, I confuse these two

tricky directions. On my driving test, I knew exactly where I was going and

I passed. So there you go; I’m getting better! I think it’s because at the

time, I was really focusing on the road and I could thoroughly process

the directions in my head. So maybe, the secret to my success includes

thinking! Oh well, I’ll figure it out, eventually.

So the next time you’re in the car with me and you need me to tell

you how to get to the supermarket or wherever, just remember, there’s a

50% chance that it’s left and a 50% chance that I’m right.

Not a big deal,

T.T. TuEditor-in-Chief & Founder

W With all the hype surrounding “going green,” anyone who doesn’t live in a hole

knows what a carbon footprint is. But what about a “water footprint”? Among the

many tips for reducing our impact on the planet, we hear that using less water is a

very important one. Water is a natural resource essential for life to exist. It makes up

approximately 65% of our bodies and covers about 70% of the Earth’s surface. So

if water exists in such abundance, why does it need to be conserved? Unfortunately,

97% of all water on Earth is salt water, which is unsuitable for drinking. Therefore,

we must rely on the measly 3% for everything from showering to watering crops. Our

water supply is finite, which means that we only have what exists now, no more and

no less. Yet despite this limited supply, we continue to use copious amounts watering

our lawns, flushing our toilets, and taking long showers. And even though this may

seem like a lot, household water only makes up 6% of the water we use, according to

Mother Jones magazine. That’s right: the other 94% is used elsewhere, and many of

us don’t even realize it. This water consumption is a result of the products we buy.

Almost everything we own, especially things that are manufactured, has a

“water footprint.” If it’s processed at all, it most likely needed some H2O along the

way. For example, if you stop by Starbucks in the morning, you might as well flush

the toilet ten times because that latte contains over fifty gallons of water! Though

all of that doesn’t fit in the cup, it was used for growing the coffee beans, raising a

cow for milk, growing and processing the sugar, and producing the paper cup, plastic

lid, and cardboard sleeve. Now it’s not a crime to drink coffee, so if you can’t live

without your morning fix of caffeine, try bringing a reusable mug. That simple switch

will tremendously cut down the amount of water needed, and many cafés, including

Starbucks, will give you a discount for it!

Not a coffee drinker? Even a common cotton T-shirt contains over 700 gallons

of water! This by no means suggests that you should stop wearing clothes, but in the

future a better choice might be organic cotton. The alternative uses much less water

because of the absence of pesticides and is very affordable these days. In fact, Wal-

Mart is one of the world’s biggest sellers of organic cotton.

So even though it is inevitable that we will need water in our daily lives, it can

be conserved in numerous ways. With 20% of the world’s population lacking access

to safe drinking water, we should do our best to preserve our small supply of the most

important substance on Earth. Every little drop counts.

Many great artists of our time have created their best work in refuge, away from the pressures of society. And three years ago, Justin Vernon, front man of Bon Iver (a play on the French phrase bon hiver, meaning “good winter”), did just that. “Running away” from the troubles he’d encountered after breaking up with his girlfriend and the band he’d grown up with, Vernon sought salvation in a cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin. There, he began writing his debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago, which is infused with the Thoreau-esque theme of romanticizing nature. This year, Vernon released an EP titled Blood Bank, which was ranked #16 on the Billboard charts. Vernon’s raw instrumentals, along with his unique vocals and poetic lyrics, make for a brilliant sound.

Meiko (pronounced MEE-ko) waited tables for years before she was able to independently release her self-titled album. Finally landing a job at L.A.’s Hotel California, a birthplace for many successful singers and songwriters, Meiko began her path to success. The main perk of being hired by the hotel lies in the opportunity to fill in for cancelled performances. After several of these performances, Meiko was given the chance to play at the Sundance Film Festival where she was dubbed “a big success story.” After initially releasing her album, her own label, Lucky Ear Music, joined forces with MySpace Records/DGC to re-release an edited version of the record. This release did incredibly well on the iTunes Top 100 Albums chart in 2008.

Why isn’t there an Asian History Month?

Asians have history to celebrate as well, so there’s

no reason that there should be a Black History

Month and no Asian History Month. Asian people

deserve a month too! And for that matter, doesn’t

every race?

Naturally, I “googled” to see if there was

in fact a month dedicated to Asians, just to

make sure I wasn’t being uninformed. Turns out

I was, because May is apparently Asian/ Pacific

American History Month.

To give a brief overview, Asian/Pacific

American History Month was enacted in 1992 to

honor achievements and contributions of Asians

and Pacific Americans (APA). Today, we have a

celebatory month due to Chinese-American Jeanie

Jew’s efforts in the 1970s. Jew said, “[APA] were

excluded from those stories during celebrations

of the country’s bicentennial. We were literally

ignored even though we were part of building this

country.”

For all her efforts, May was chosen

to celebrate the arrival of the first Japanese

immigrants and Golden Spike Day, the day the

transcontinental railroad was completed. Also,

students were allowed to choose to learn about

APA history if it interested them.

Despite the fact that learning about

APA history seems like a good idea and that

this nationally recognized month has been in

effect since 1992 (the year I was born), I don’t

remember ever learning about APA history. In

February, I remember learning about famous

Africans, yet when May rolled around, no one. I

decided to give myself a lesson in APA history

and just from a few sites, I learned about amazing

people like I.M. Pei, a renowned architect; Dr.

Feng Shan Ho, an unknown hero of the Holocaust

who issued Jews visas to China; and last but

certainly not least, Dr. David Ho, a leader in HIV/

AIDS research who developed antiviral “cocktails”

for treatment.

Unfortunately, the only racial History

Month I ever remember being educated about in

school was Black History Month, and although

blacks have certainly had more than their share

of struggle, every race and culture has struggled

as well. It’s a shame that growing up, my only

notable Asian role models were the renowned

Michelle Kwan, Amy Tan, and Li-Young Lee, while

there are obviously so many others who are also,

if not more, that were worthy of attention.

All in all, a little research never hurt

anyone, and what I learned was eye-opening.

Come May, you can bet I’ll be showing my APA

pride, but for now I’m satisfied that a month for

Asian/ Pacific Americans even exists. In fact,

everyone should find out what during month their

culture is officially celebrated because it’s time

for us to get educated about the people of our

own race, and if our schools aren’t going to, then

we’ll just have to take matters into our own hands.

At first glance, the Asian side of me is fairly well-hidden to the average person. Why? I have big eyes. Not only that, but I have brown hair, and the ever-elusive double eyelid fold. I have none of the traits of the stereotypical Asian person. In essence, I look white. Looks mean nothing, though, because I have come to identify with my Asian heritage a great deal more than my European side despite what people might assume. For instance, in Cupertino, there is a Chinese restaurant called Hong Fu where the tables are divided by chopstick-only place settings and fork place settings (for the chopstick-challenged). The hostess always takes one look at my sister and me and seats us at a fork table. Ironically, I have been using chopsticks since the age of three. Additionally, the diverse Bay Area culture

that I live in has helped me to associate more with my Asian side. I attend Monta Vista High School, a campus with an approximately 70 percent Asian population (not that I mind). In fact, when I travel to places without Asian as the prevailing makeup, I almost feel out of place: I am used to seeing Asian people everywhere I go. It is very comfortable for me but, when I travel, even though I blend in, it is simply not as comfortable (and I miss the quality Asian food!) My mother is half Chinese and half Japanese. She is also the Barr family chef. At my house we eat an array of different foods. In any given week she might make Chinese chow mien, Japanese udon noodles, or some good ol’ pizza. The variety of backgrounds floating around my house has led to a wide array of food choices.

To a certain extent I feel like there is no Caucasian culture for me to adapt and relate to. Perhaps it is because the white side of me is even more mixed than my Asian side. Whenever I ask my dad what his ethnic make-up is, he always replies with a laundry list: “Irish, Dutch, Welsh, German, and maybe a few other things...” There are so many traditions from each culture but they are left uncelebrated in my house. My dad has never really felt the need to honor those traditions because his parents didn’t honor any of the traditions either. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to grow up being all white or all Asian and whether I would have turned out differently. But I love being a happa, a halfie, a wasian or whichever label you choose, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

DISCLAIMER: We are not affiliated with any sort of college or admissions counselor. These are just the suggestions and tips of some of the BAY’s graduated seniors.

As we all move forward into the 2009 school year, we step into a realm of new beginnings. For some, it’s just “another year” but for others, it’s a step onto a beaten and war-ridden path that has known ghouls, monsters, and fiends. This step is one that I like to call The Senior Scramble and it is the first step towards that final fight towards the Holy Grail, better known as graduation. But for those of us that have a couple more years under our belts, don’t take this matter lightly. Eventually, you too will have to face the wrath of the scramble. Okay, so maybe I’m emphasizing too much on the grandeur and fantasy of it all, but honestly, there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, I know that these silly papers and online documents are the keys to your future and success and yes, I know that these notions make the task daunting. But, in the process of telling your story to others, you have the opportunity to figure yourself out and get to know a side of yourself that you may have never met. FICTION says that this will be the most stressful time during your high school career but FACT says it doesn’t have to be.

HELPFUL MAC TIP:

IF YOU ARE USING THE SAFARI INTERNET BROWSER, YOU WILL

PROBABLY FIND DIFFICULTY PASTING IN YOUR COLLEGE ESSAY

INTO THE “ESSAY BOX” ON THE COMMON APPLICATION. USE

MOZILLA FIREFOX OR INTERNET EXPLORER TO MAKE YOUR

LIFE EASIER. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PASTE IN

YOUR ESSAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

16

The actual application is not that hard to comprehend but it is extremely tedious. You may read this section and tell me, “This is all common sense…” Well, let me tell you something: it doesn’t hurt to read it again! First and foremost, always remember to save your application. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to enter and re-enter my parent’s college information because my application had decided that I was taking too long and saw it fit to personally sign me out. This, however, does not give you the right to speed through the important administrative business. The application always gives you that option to save your work so just remember to press “save” after every four to five inputs. Something else that was kind of annoying was inputting extra-curricular activities. The application will ask you to list your activity, describe it, and state how many hours per week and weeks per year you have dedicated to the activity. For the description boxes, they restrict the number of characters you can use to put in the boxes. I would advise writing down the descriptions before inputting the information so you don’t have to waste time thinking of shorter words because you’re over the character limit. In terms of your time and commitment to the activity, here are some good things to remember: there are 52 weeks in a year, approximately 26 weeks in a school year without breaks, 32 with breaks, and about 10 weeks of summer. Of course, no one is going to penalize you for accidentally putting a week more or a week less but try to be as honest as possible. Lastly, the application allows a section for awards and honors. Don’t worry too much if you can’t fill up this section. Colleges like to see awards of course, but it isn’t the end of the world if you haven’t received any. That’s about it for the actual application; just remember, take it slow and don’t make mistakes. This is probably the first thing they will look at and first impressions make the world of difference.

So here we are: the essay. After first getting an impression of you from your application, the admissions officers will rely on your essay to try and figure out the person behind the application. Breathe; even though this is super important and it may make you want to pull your hair out, you will be fine. The bottom line is to just be yourself. An important thing to remember with your essays is to understand the fine line between sharing your accomplishments and boasting. The best way to portray yourself is to show what you’ve done as a high schooler and how you plan on using your experiences in the future, whether its during your college years or beyond. For example, you should never waste an entire essay rambling about how volunteering in Peru made you a better person. Instead, mention your trip to Peru and how it sparked your passion for helping others that you’d like to pursue in the future. Avoid highly personal topics that are based on chance, such as a relative’s death or other family issues. Although you feel that an experience like this had a great effect on your future goals, it probably isn’t a good topic to center a college essay on. Overall, though the prompts may be corny and you may feel uncomfortable writing so much about yourself, the essay portion CAN make or break your application. So think carefully, get started early, and, again, be yourself!

It’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with a college before you decide to apply to it. Some people choose to plan college visits, which can be effective but costly. Also, they usually aren’t worth it unless you have no idea what the campus is like. There are equally effective ways to have your questions answered and to receive informational materials about the college. Your high school’s college and career center will most likely host panels with representatives from different schools, where you can ask any questions you have. Sign up to attend these panels in advance so you can be sure to get a spot. You can also communicate with people who go to the school through online forums, you can talk to your guidance counselor, or you can simply browse the college’s website--there’s usually a lot of useful information hidden there.

It’s not everyday that someone invites you to the “Teen Choice Awards”, so when one

of my friends asked me to go, I think I might have said yes after just hearing the words,

“Teen Choice…” Why wouldn’t I go? I am proud to say that I am an avid lover of pop culture

and almost everything to do with it under the hot, tween sun.

When the day finally arrived, we wanted to make sure not to miss a thing, so we

left Orange County (where I was staying) at 1. After battling L.A traffic and getting lunch,

we came fashionably early at 4, only to find that the red carpet was empty… The security

guards told us that the stars had already walked the carpet and were inside. Funny he

should say that because I think after we were seated in our nosebleed seats, we saw them

file in one by one from a side door.

After waiting a bit, the director asked for seat-fillers in the front of the amphitheatre,

and as much as I loved sitting in the back, I was more than happy to volunteer.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t sit next to A-List people on the couches, so instead, I got seated

next to up-and-coming acts like Honor Society, the Wonder Girls, and the cast of Glee.

Because the awards were not broadcasted live, there were some moments that were

edited out before the show was aired. For instance, one of the omitted incidents was when

Dane Cook singled out Vanessa Hudgens in the audience. Hearing her name, she flailed her

arms with excitement until Dane Cook dropped the bomb. Cook announced to the entire

audience, referring to Hudgens’ previous nude picture scandal, “Girl, you gots to keep yo’

clothes on! Phones are for phone calls, girl!” Whoa there, last time I checked, this was the

“Teen Choice Awards” not “True Hollywood Story.” Unfortunately, unforgettable moments

such as this one were only available live at the show, or via poor quality on YouTube.

But the antics didn’t end there. The Jonas Brothers got tattoos and haircuts and

gave hugs; Miley Cyrus showed teens how to really “party in the U.S.A” with her suggestive

pole dancing; and the Black Eyed Peas performed “I Gotta Feeling” while balancing on

surfboards. Sean Kingston showed off his Jamaican heritage and had us twirl Jamaican

flags above our heads while he bobbed back and forth on stage, performing “Fire Burning.”

The highlight of the awards was when Miley Cyrus presented the “Ultimate Choice Award”

to Britney Spears. Spears received the well-deserved award as recognition for all of her

accomplishments, including being the first artist to win a “Teen Choice Award” back when

the awards were introduced in 1999. It was indeed a special moment in the show, and I’m

sure both viewers and attendees would agree.

I wanted to partake in something teen-exclusive and what better way to do that than

at the TCA’s. I was happy just to be there and to be a part of something that I had enjoyed

within the comforts of my couch for so many years. Now as my days as a teen come to an

end, I’m looking forward to the future and hopefully, it includes Oscars and Grammy’s.

Tim Burton returns to produce the

latest action-packed adventure: 9, one

of the first CGI movies to receive a

PG-13 rating. When a scientist builds a

synthetic brain, it sparks the beginning

of social unrest and eventually the end

of mankind. All that’s left is a group

of robotic creatures (dressed in what

seem to resemble potato sacks) who are

identified by their given numbers. “9”

(voiced by Elijah Woods) finds himself

relying on his bravery and leadership to

direct the group to help save humanity.

While showcasing a stunning visual

brilliance, the trailer reveals a post-

apocalyptic world that hints at what our

world could look like in the future. This

is surely one of the most original films

that will capture the audience with its

action and thrill.

A Sundance Film Festival 2009 selection

and a one-of-a-kind documentary, The

September Issue follows a legend of

the fashion world, Vogue Editor Anna

Wintour, as she sets out to publish the

year’s most vital issue—the September

issue. One in 10 women will receive

the September issue of Vogue this fall,

and the 2007 September issue was

the largest magazine ever published,

weighing over four pounds. Filmmaker

R.J. Cutler reveals a world of fashion

never seen before. The film follows the

quirky and passionate Wintour through

her days filled with designers, models,

photo shoots, and business meetings.

It gives fashion followers all over the

world the most intimate behind-the-

scenes look into the stress and glamour

of Wintour’s 20-year legacy. The movie

will leave viewers everywhere with a new

appreciation for the valued magazine

and the woman behind it all.

In a world where people can only

tell the truth, a writer discovers the

manipulating act of lying. Ricky

Gervais directs himself in his own

movie as Mark, who uses his new-

found knowledge for his own personal

gain. With supporting cast members

Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, and Jonah

Hill, The Invention of Lying brings to the

audience’s attention that artificial power

and superiority may not be all that

great.

In hopes of saving their marriage,

Couples Retreat involves one couple

that races to a tropical paradise, but

not without involving their friends.

Along with them come three other

couples, who don’t quite understand

that participation for salvaging their

relationship through therapy sessions

is required in order to stay on the

resort. Vince Vaughn along with Malin

Akerman, Jon Favreau, Kristin Davis,

Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Faizon

Love, and Kali Hawk perform in a light-

hearted comedy that will bring laughs

to viewers.

At first, New York, I Love You might

seem like a banal love story set in

the heart of New York City; however,

with a star-studded cast and over ten

renowned directors from every corner

of the world, this movie is set up for

success. The film is a collection of

eleven vignettes, each about ten minutes

long. Every scene takes a look into a

different character’s life in his or her

niche of the city through a star-studded

cast of Shia LeBeouf, Orlando Bloom,

Natalie Portman, Christina Ricci, Blake

Lively, Irrfan Khan, Maggie Q, and more.

Though by the same producers of Paris,

Je T’aime (2006), New York, I Love You

is not a sequel; it does, however, follow

the same theme of finding love in a

culturally diverse city. New York, I Love

You is bound to appeal to people from

every background and all ages, for it

embodies genuine relationships found in

the diverse lifestyles of NYC.

No, it’s not Christmas Eve yet. While it

may be a little early to be putting up the

Christmas lights, it is never too early to

get hyped up over A Christmas Carol, the

animated movie. With Jim Carey playing

Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts

of Christmas Past, Charles Dickens’

timeless story comes back to life just in

time for Christmas. A Christmas Carol

is a story of an old, grumpy man who

meets the Ghosts of Past, Present, and

Yet-to-Come. With their lessons, the

Ghosts bring warmth to Scrooge and his

home just in time for Christmas. A great

movie to catch during the seasons—

releasing November 6—A Christmas

Carol will be available as both a 3D film

and in IMAX theaters.

Last May, Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series, “Glee,” landed on FOX as a one-hit wonder, claiming

its stake in the Fall series lineup. The show’s pilot episode made its mark on the blogosphere and

twitterverse, turned the stomachs of Disney’s High School Musical (HSM) fans, and dominated

the iTunes Top 100 within a day of its premiere. However, the show bounced into the living rooms

of millions of viewers and quickly bounced back out, leaving new-found “Gleeks” hanging by the

fingertips for five months for episode two.

But now that the wait is soon to be over, how many Gleeks are still hanging on? If you’re like me,

you’ve been waiting for the rest of the season for far too long. HSM was never my cup of tea, mostly

because it got high school all wrong. “Glee,” on the other hand, hit the nail on the head with teenage

stereotypes, which is where it won my vote. While the show still maintains a level of optimism with

its lead character, a teacher hoping to revive an abandoned high school glee club, it earns its best

remarks with its snide and unsubtle attacks on cliches. It’s as if the producers dropped the show into

a bucket of sarcasm. And it’s a plus that the soundtrack strikes each of its tracks with a twist off of

the originals like Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” and Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”

For those who haven’t caught on to the high school parody hype, the pilot episode is available

for instant streaming on Hulu.com. And if the first episode is of any forecast for what the entire series

will be like, everyone should be tuning into FOX on Wednesdays at 9PM, starting Sept. 9, for a show

that will have at least a handful of Gleeks standing on their seats, singing along to Journey’s “Don’t

Stop Believin’.”

Some things never

go out of style, like sailors

singing love songs and nurses

falling madly in love with

plantation owners during

World War II. The Pulitzer

Prize and ten Tony award-

winning South Pacific has

made its way back onto the

stage—this time, in San

Francisco’s Golden Gate

Theatre. South Pacific opened

on Broadway in 1949 and

ran for over five years; it still

holds the title as the fifth

longest-running show in all of

Broadway history. Following

its Broadway opening, South

Pacific has toured all over the

country and the UK.

For those unfamiliar to the

story, South Pacific is set

during WWII, but it is far

from a typical war story.

Nellie Forbush, a nurse from

Arkansas, falls in love with

French plantation owner

Emile de Becque. Upon

their engagement, Emile

introduces Nellie to his two

illegitimate children from

his previous Polynesian

wife. Nellie, being very

racially biased, struggles

to accept Emile’s marriage

proposal. Meanwhile, a

group of American sailors

look for women to relieve

their boredom. They are

invited to Bali Ha’i, a native

and forbidden island, where

Lieutenant Joe Cable meets

the love of his life.

The 2009 tour of South

Pacific begins in our very own

San Francisco September

18th and will run until

October 25th. Ticket prices

range from thirty to ninety-

nine dollars. Between the

catchy tunes of “I’m Gonna

Wash That Man Right

Outta My Hair” and “Some

Enchanted Evening,” South

Pacific is bound to bring a

crowd to the theater.

“Packed.”

That was the first word that came to mind. Downtown

Oakland seemed pretty empty by 11:30 PM but all of a

sudden there was a restaurant that was completely full.

Sure enough, it was Fentons.

For most people, Fentons is most recently famous for being

in the movie Up, but this creamery has been around for

115 years. They are known for making their ice cream and

toppings by hand at each location to ensure freshness and

quality.

When I went in, it seemed like everyone was eating huge

sundaes and ice cream but upon grabbing a menu I

learned that they sell burgers, sandwiches and pie as well.

Compared to how crowded it was, the service was pretty

fast. The ice cream looked delicious with flavors like

Chocolate Marble, Mocha Almond Fudge, and Coffee Cookie

Dream and they were more than happy to give us testers of

generous portions for such a small spoon.

We finally decided on Toasted Almond, Cream Caramel

Almond Crunch, and Cookie Dough. Before we left to sit

outside (no space inside whatsoever), we offhandedly asked

if it was always this busy. The cashier smiled, replying

that this wasn’t even that busy, even though the entire

restaurant was full.

After finding a bench outside, we took spoonfuls of the

delicious ice cream. By far, the Toasted Almond was the

best. It was the perfect almond blend—not too strong and

not too bland. The Cream Caramel Almond Crunch was good

but had a lot of vanilla and not enough caramel. The Cookie

Dough tasted typical with the exception of huge chunks of

cookie dough.

However delicious as it was, there was one fault. For

some reason the ice cream was really runny. Not after five

minutes, it was dripping everywhere! Although inconvenient

and messy, it was still delectable.

recipe:

by ANNIE SHUEY

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, rip the filo dough with your hands until you are left with short

pieces of the dough. Then add the melted butter and mix completely making sure

all the filo dough touches butter.

3. Spread half of the dough mixture in the bottom of a non-stick pan as a crust.

Don’t compress it too much into the pan.

4. In a large bowl combine the ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.

5. In a small pan slightly heat the milk for 1 minute, add the semolina and cook

for 30 seconds until it thickens. Then mix this into the large bowl of the cheeses

making sure to combine well.

6. Pour the cheese mixture in the pan on top of the filo dough crust and spread out

evenly. Spread out the rest of the filodough mixture evenly on top of the cheese

mixture to form another crusty layer on top.

7. Place pan in oven and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the top crust

turns golden brown. Take it out and let stand for 30 minutes or until cooled. After

this, flip the dessert over onto another larger pan or bake-safe plate and put it

back into the oven to brown the bottom layer (now top) of filo dough.

8. While this is baking, make the syrup to garnish the dessert. In a saucepan,

combine the sugar with water. Place over high heat, and stir until the sugar

dissolves. Once it is boiling, add the teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and continue

boiling for several minutes to thicken the syrup slightly. Let cool.

9. When the dessert is ready, serve it with the syrup. It can also be served with your

choice of pine nuts, pistachios, etc.

2/3 package shredded filo dough 3 sticks of butter melted 1 15 oz package of ricotta cheese 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ½ cup of milk 3 tablespoons semolina 1 tsp of lemon juice 3 cups of sugar 1 ½ cups of sugar

A TASTE OF THE MIDDLE EAST

pride and prejudice and zombiesby jane austen &

seth grahame smith

Upon spotting Pride and

Prejudice and Zombies at the bookstore,

I laughed. The cover says it all–a pasty

Elizabeth Bennet with red irises, a

partially exposed skull, and blood

spattered onto her white lace dress.

Author Seth Grahame-Smith brands it

“The Classic Regency Romance–Now

with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!”

He retains Jane Austen’s style to the

core, and fuses it with her own setting:

19th century England…occupied by

zombies. The witty banter and complex

sentence structure remain in the novel,

but tainted with new rotting corpses,

beheadings, and cannibalism.

I gained more of an insight into

Mr. Darcy’s character, who, though still

haughty and arrogant, is now a master

zombie slayer; “savage yet dignified.” It

made me smile as I observed the author

fill the gaps that Austen had left behind:

for instance, now I know the reason for

Charlotte’s marriage with Collins–he

needed to behead her recently zombie-

bitten self.

Just like the Leonardo DiCaprio

version of Romeo and Juliet didn’t

ruin Shakespeare, (the one with all

drug innuendos, guns and car chases)

Zombies leaves Austen’s classic novel

unscathed. This satirical book is for

anyone who’s ready to not take it too

seriously. All I can say is, I can’t wait

to read Sense and Sensibility and Sea

Monsters. It comes out September 15.

Though Audrey Niffenger’s The

Time Traveler’s Wife may seem like the

typical romance novel at first glance, it’s

a much more complex, captivating love

story of two people, Clare and Henry.

Henry is a time traveler who cannot

control where or when he travels to.

He first started traveling when

he was nine years old, and has since

earned that his time lapses are often

triggered by stress, anguish, and

sadness. At the age of forty, Henry

begins appearing during different times

in Clare’s life, the first of which is when

she is six years old.

Henry cannot travel with any

possessions and is not able to alter

the future during his visits to the past.

When Clare is twenty years old, she

meets twenty-eight year old Henry.

The Henry of that time has not been

previously acquainted with her though,

since he only starts traveling to her

past when he is forty. They fall in love

and get married, but constantly have

to deal with the complexity of their

relationship, since while Clare has a

plethora of memories of an older Henry

from different points in her life, he has

yet to experience any of them.

At the risk of giving away

more of the book, all I can say is that

this book is unique in how Niffenger

describes the different perspectives of

Henry and Clare as they mature. The

lives of Henry and Clare are intriguingly

portrayed in this commendable and

recommendable novel.

Labor Day weekend is the perfect opportunity to escape the chaos of fall by taking a road trip. Charming Cambria is just a four hour drive from San Francisco, and it is the ideal location for a weekend getaway. Because of Cambria’s proximity to the Bay Area, visitors can leave Saturday morning to arrive the same day.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON1) Piedras BlancasEven though our first real stop is Hearst Castle, make a quick visit to the 150-foot, 134-year-old Piedras Blancas Lighthouse that overlooks a rare elephant seal rookery. The view from the lighthouse is sure to impress. Tours available(661) 391-6000 for informationhttp://www.blm.gov/ca/bakersfield/ 2) Hearst CastleAlthough Hearst Castle is just outside Cambria, the stop is well worth it. Once home to newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, Hearst Castle is deemed one of the most expensive private homes ever built. The evening tours are recommended as they are conducted in smaller, more intimate groups. Back in the 20’s and 30’s, Hollywood socialites and the political elite were common guests of Hearst. On the evening tour, visitors can experience the mansion as if they were actual guests. Tour lasts 2 hours and 10 minutes, only fall and spring evenings(805) 927-2020http://www.hearstcastle.org/

*SATURDAY EVENING3) Cambria InnsOut of the many hotels to choose from, the Cambria Inns are the way to go.

*SUNDAY AFTERNOON - EVENING5) Soto’s Market and DeliStop by this store to pick up homemade meals for a picnic dinner by the beach. Soto’s offers restaurant-quality gourmet items including enchiladas and fresh sandwiches made on the spot. (805) 927-44112244 Main Street, East Village Cambria 6) Moonstone BeachNot far from the Cambria Inns, Moonstone Beach is famous for the white moonstone agates and other beach stones that scatter the shore. The beach has a scenic walking trail with rock formations, coves, and tide pools with marine life to observe. Enjoy a relaxing picnic dinner and watch the sun set in the beauty of nature.

*MONDAY MORNING7) ShoppingCambria’s shops are filled with locally-produced food as well as fresh fish from local fishermen. With few chain stores, boutiques and antique shops line the streets to create a quaint feel. 8) Nitt Witt RidgeAs your mini-getaway comes to a close, you must stop to see the eccentric Nitt Witt Ridge, a house built entirely of miscellaneous recycled items. The home belonged to the late Arther Beal, who collected other people’s trash for over 50 years to use to make his treasure of a home.
