No Fourth of July picnic or barbecue is complete without a potato salad of some sort. We all have our favorites but if you want to change it up a bit and bring a little patriotic theme to your table, search out those teeny tiny red, white and blue potatoes.
I happen to come across some at my local farmers market last week and couldn't resist. These bite size potatoes are no bigger than an olive and they're just perfect for roasting, they have a tender thin skin so there's no need for peeling, and they cook up in a matter of minutes.
My favorite way to prepare them is to simply roast them in a hot oven around 450F, drizzled with olive oil. This time I added some red pepper to roast along with the potatoes.
The nice thing about potato salad is that it goes perfect with just about anything that you make on your grill or pack up for a picnic.
Sip something cold, relax and enjoy your weekend. I've been on an ice cube making binge lately, adding blueberries and rasberries to water then freezing the cubes and dropping them into lemonade. 
Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
Day 4 of the G20 and rebellions. The Indigenous Sovereignty March was the biggest one yet, with over a thousand peeps braving the nasty Toronto heat to show solidarity with Native folks. It was inspiring to see so many settlers coming out to support this action.

This is the perfect starter for a summer dinner party, it's sort of a modern twist on the very classic proscuitto-wrapped melon, you're still going to get that sweet and salty flavour experience that we all love, but with two different textures going on.
I'm almost embarrassed to tell you how simple this is to make, just cut your cantaloupe in chunks and place in a food processor/blender and process until smooth! How simple is that!
Then to make things even more simpler, I used store bought bread sticks, but you can make your own if you're adventurous. Wrap one slice of prosciutto on the end of each bread stick and place on the rim of a glass. Serve immediately.
Would you like to wow your guests at your next party? You can make a whole tray of these by using those cute little shooter glasses that you can get at any party store. Just cut your bread sticks in half, wrap them with 1/2 slice of proscuitto and place on the rim of your shooter glasses. 
On the final night of the rebellions against the G20, dance crazed trouble makers will be reclaiming the streets of downtown Toronto for Saturday Night Fever.
On Saturday , June 26, a roaming dance party will invade the streets of T DOT so come out and join the dance revolution
Live performances by
Abstract Random, Lal, and DJ Zahra
This is an unpermitted roaming dance party, and the cops might want to get funky. Check fever2010.wordpress.com for info.
beat the heat! Reclaim the streets
Locations and details atA coalition of queer activists set the bar high by organizing an impressive display of creative resistance on the second day of the G20 rebellions. The groups cooked up a stew of gay struggles with migrant rights and poverty issues all wrapped up in a delicious anti-colonial, anti-capitalist tortilla. Yum!

Our first day in T-Dot and already shit’s hectic. If you plan on being here and have a bike, make sure it’s equipped with front and rear lights and a bell. Helmets are not mandatory in Toronto. For info on the days of actions visit the Toronto Community Mobilization Network. Stay tuned tomorrow seems for more updates from the streets of resistance.
First of all before I go on, I must disclose that I didn't make the fabulous dish featured above, but I can assure you that I soon will! This dish was created by a local here, Chef Paul Virant of Vie. Chef Paul took part in the Chicago Cadillac Culinary Challenge last week along with,Two local Chefs in a friendly competition using strawberries as the key ingredient in their recipe creations.
The event was sponsored both by Bon Appetit magazine and Cadillac and I was fortunate enough to be invited and to be one of the judges of the challenge, thanks to my friend Courtney of Coco Cooks.
Courtney and I both chose the grilled seafood platter for lunch consisting of shrimp, scallops, salmon and a crab cake. A decadent chocolate truffle cake was our dessert.
But in the end it was Chef Virant's dish that blew everyone away! For me it was the amaretto that he put in the sabayon, also known as zabaione in Italian, which is a very smooth and light whipped custard that usually is made with Marsala wine. The strawberries and all the almond flavors were a match made in heaven!Almond Crepes, Pan Roasted Strawberries, Amaretto Sabayon
4 Servings
Sweet Almond Crepe
9 ounces milkAmaretto Sabayon
4 egg yolksPan Roasted Strawberries
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1⁄2 pound strawberries, washed, hulled
and quartered
1 tablespoon amaretto
Salt to taste
Heat a large saute pan and add butter. When the butter melts, add the sugar and strawberries. Cook for
1 minute on high heat, deglaze with amaretto, season with salt and set aside.
To Finish
Preheat an oven to 350F. Divide the strawberries onto 8 crepes, fold them in half and heat in the oven
until warm. Place two crepes on each plate, dust with powdered sugar, spoon sabayon over and serve.
The garnish was sugared marcona almonds.
I hope you give this a try, I'm still dreaming about how good it was!
„Hned na začátku jsme se rozhodli, že zboží vyvlastněné ze supermarketu si rozdělíme mezi těmi, kdo se na akci podíleli, a že ho nebudeme rozdávat před supermarketem. Tímto rozhodnutím jsme chtěli dát jasně najevo, že tento a další činy neslouží k tomu, aby nás propagovaly jako zachránce společnosti. Chceme, aby si společnost tyto praktiky osvojila a přijala za své sama , bez toho, aby čekala na „revoluční" filantropy/přátele chudých. Obzvláště teď, kdy prohnilost současného systému způsobuje jeho kolaps."
Vymezují se také proti termínu Robinové Hoodové, který v nadpisu zprávy použila i AFA:
„Termín „Robinové Hoodové" je podle nás dalším typickým pokusem masových médií překroutit význam takových akcí, protože soudruhy prezentuje jako nějakou elitu loupící pro chudé. V důsledku je pak distribuce zboží presentována způsobem, který vede k narkóze a pasivitě odražené v myšlení „někdo jiný to udělá/vymyslí/se o nás postará."
A dodávají:
„Nevěříme ve společnost slabomyslných jedinců, kteří musí být ovládáni, jak si přeje vládnoucí propaganda. Jsme šťastni, když lidé kráčí s myšlenkami na to, že jejich život patří jim, ne zprostředkovatelům a nepotřebným tlachalům, když se organizují na základě solidarity, anti-autoritářských principů a sebe-organizace za účelem aktivní negace a útoku."
Na konci prohlášení je také připojené velmi důležité P.S.:
„Samozřejmě podporujeme vyvlastňování peněz pro potřeby hnutí, ale této konkrétní akci jsme chtěli dát jiný kontext."
Jak jsem zmínil v úvodu, omyl Antifašistické akce přesně ilustruje rozdíly v přístupu. Logice přístupu starého, „hodného" anarchistického hnutí by přesně odpovídalo vynesené zboží rozdat chudým nebo ho použít k podobnému manifestačně „dobrému" účelu, který by měl hlavně dobře vypadat v korporátních médiích.
Řecké hnutí, ovlivněné zejména myšlenkami povstaleckého anarchismu, ale hru na hodné kluky a holky, co to myslí dobře, už nehraje. Svět je plný „těch dobrých", lidí s nejlepšími úmysly, co to myslí dobře. Přesně takoví lidé nám ženou planetu do záhuby, drancují ji ve velkém, otravují vzduch toxickými látkami a pomalu nás zabíjejí.
Anarchistické hnutí v Řecku už tím hodným není. Přešlo do útoku. Prolomilo tabu, nehraje podle pravidel nastavených systémem. Neptá se co smí a nesmí, organizuje se a útočí.
