<description><![CDATA[Quite the just-like-old-times performance for the Sharks in their 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Quite the <em>just-like-old-times </em>performance for the Sharks in their 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. The Sharks roster finally looked like it should be with a couple exceptions. And with the added aspect of facing former Sharks, Christian Ehrhoff and Steve Bernier, it was a reunion of sorts.</p>
<p>Got to mention the injuries, returns and transactions. Devin Setoguchi and Rob Blake returned to the lineup tonight; Benn Ferriero and Jason Demers were sent down to Worcester because of that. Of course this was Torrey Mitchell&#8217;s second game back so he&#8217;s still getting used to NHL-level speed.</p>
<p>Jody Shelley and Brad Staubitz are still out with injuries, so Frazer McLaren played on the fourth line. Derek Joslin retained his spot on the defense upon Demers&#8217; reassignment.</p>
<p>OK so the game &#8212; a slow back-and-forth game. One team would control for 10 minutes, then things would switch. Vancouver got on the board early in the first and controlled the play. McLaren scored his first NHL goal to tie things up before the first ended. He took a big hit behind the goal-line but stayed on his feet and kept his stick on the ice. Joe Pavelski found him and it was an easy tip-in. Glad to see Frazer add his name to the list of first-time scorers this season; Ferriero, McLaren, Demers, Logan Couture and Ryan Vesce all have scored their first NHL goal so far this season.</p>
<p>The Sharks dominated the second period, outshooting Vancouver 15-4; however, they only managed one goal, which came from Dan Boyle on the power play. It was a cool goal to watch on the replay because you saw how much Boyle moves on the man-advantage. One second he would be up high at the point, five seconds later he was down low. Always keeps his skates moving in a very fluid motion.</p>
<div id="attachment_754" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://afanofthegame.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-20.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-754" title="Picture 20" src="http://afanofthegame.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-20.png?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Captain Rob Blake made his return against Vancouver (From SJSHARKS.com)</p></div>
<p>San Jose backed off during the last frame but withstood a fierce Canucks forecheck. The Sharks capitalized on a counterattack, as Manny Malhotra deked &#8212; yes deked &#8212; goalie Roberto Luongo fairly easily. Thirteen seconds later Jamie McGinn notched his fourth goal of the season after Jed Ortmeyer battled beyond the goal line and sent the puck to the crease.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go back to the decision to send Demers down to Worcester. Coach Todd McClellan cited bad play in the defensive zone as the reason for the reassignment. Demers and Joslin were battling for the final defenseman spot with Rob Blake returning and T-Mac said Joslin played better over the last 10 games. Demers has definitely not played up to par lately. I think back to last game where Demers attempted a stretch pass only to have it intercepted and turned into an Edmonton goal.</p>
<p>T-Mac said before he likes how Demers takes risks, and now he&#8217;s going back on that? I don&#8217;t get it. Demers is clearly learning from Boyle how to be an offensive threat and doing a pretty good job at it. He has one goal and 12 assists in 27 games. He&#8217;s been one of the league&#8217;s most surprising rookies and you choose Joslin over Demers? I&#8217;m sorry, but this is a dumb move by T-Mac. Joslin is a joke of a player and isn&#8217;t going to amount to anything.</p>
<p>Perhaps it will help Demers not to play with Kent Huskins and actually someone good down in Worcester. Huskins was on the power play tonight again. Stop doing that T-Mac. Just stop. Demers needs to be on the power play and Huskins needs to be sent down. No one will claim him off waivers.</p>
<p><strong>Other Notes</strong></p>
<p>Hit-O-Meter: SJ 16  VAN 14; Jamie McGinn (4) and Devin Setoguchi (3) led the team.</p>
<p>The Sharks wrap up November with a 9-2-3 record and are the first team to reach 40 points.</p>
<p>All eyes will be on San Jose on Tuesday when the Sharks battle the Ottawa Senators. Dany Heatley versus his ex-girlfriend. Should be good.</p>
<p>&#8211;Ray</p>

<p>I&#8217;m thankful for best friends that last through the years, across state lines, and during international travel. I&#8217;m thankful for fun and sexy high heels, Blue Moon and red wine, cheese and Thanksgiving dressing. I&#8217;m thankful for the <em>stupid boot</em> that protects my friend&#8217;s broken ankle, trainers who help my friend reach her goals, and pets that come inside and snuggle when it&#8217;s cold. I&#8217;m thankful for being able to dance so long that the next day it hurts to climb the stairs, for taking a small step <span style="color:#888888;">(or sparrow, as it were) </span>towards conquering an old fear, and for laughing at anything and everything for seven days straight.</p>
<p>Thank you, Jamie, for being an amazing friend and for spending a wonderful week with me in Louisville!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>M Blanket was one of the earliest BC emo bands. Sometimes more punk, sometimes some ska thrown in (i know this doesn&#8217;t sound to their advantage, but I assure you, you will fall in love with them).I&#8217;m not sure why they always labeled their albums as just M Blanket, but in a live set I once heard them say &#8220;We&#8217;re Morphine Blanket&#8221;.</p>
<p>They formed in 1992, and had a four song demo. Their early material was more chaotic. They appeared on a few compilations and put out their first 7&#8243; on Spinout 360 Records. I heard this was a split with Slinky, but after seeing the artwork, I don&#8217;t think it was. Someone could clarify this for me? Did this split exist? They then hooked up with Slow to Burn Records, BC&#8217;s leading emo label at the time. The first of these collaborations is the &#8220;Seen it Coming&#8221; 7&#8243;. The last of these, which is also their final ep, and my favorite release of theirs, &#8220;Safety&#8221;. The band&#8217;s last output was released on &#8220;Attending the Supreme&#8221; compilation in 1995. They changed drummers and became Ache Hour Credo (which would itself change drummers and become Daddy&#8217;s Hands).</p>

<strong>The Night:</strong> Wednesday before Thanksgiving<br />
<strong>The Purpose:</strong> Dancing off those holiday calories <em>before</em> the turkey-induced coma</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The Bet:</strong> Last one to down a Jager Bomb has to dance up on the wall. <em>I lost.</em> Jamie was unable to operate my camera <span style="color:#888888;">(&#8220;Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol!&#8221;)</span>. For my <em>third</em> time expressing myself with the wall, Jamie joined me and Mike took the photo!</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The Goal: </strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Achieved</span>. 3+ hours of dancing! <em>Whoo hoo!</em> A big shout-out to DJ Warren for spinning out a constant stream of dancing tunes, including some old goodies that took us back in time!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Fifteen years ago, a college freshman girl took a &#8220;friend&#8221; home for Thanksgiving because he had no where to go.  Three years later they were married.  It&#8217;s 2009, and we&#8217;re still making the trek to Sulphur Springs, with children of our own.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I met Jamie in college. We were both enrolled in an art class with a teacher we didn&#8217;t particularly like, mostly because she treated everyone in the class like we were in elementary school. I don&#8217;t have a specific memory of being introduced to Jamie, but I remember sitting next to her and talking about art. I remember marveling at the fact that she made her own skirts, and I remember her laugh. Jamie has the best laugh &#8212; uninhibited and loud, it is infectious and free &#8212; and since I have gotten to know her I judge most Things That Could Be Funny as <em>Funny</em> or <em>Not Funny</em> based on whether I hear Jamie&#8217;s laughter resonating in my mind.</p>
<p>The only friend I&#8217;ve kept since college, Jamie and I quickly became traveling partners &#8212; exploring first Ireland, England and Scotland together, and then Italy. The farther we got away from college graduation, the more Life imposed on us. Home Buying, More School, Pets, Illness, Money. Still, even though we&#8217;re still dreaming up our next big vacation destination<span style="color:#888888;"> (Germany, we&#8217;re pretty sure&#8230;)</span>, we&#8217;ve managed to visit each other roughly once a year. I&#8217;ve visited her in Alabama and her first Kentucky home, and she&#8217;s come to Maryland twice.</p>
<p>A few months ago, after some scary stuff involving family and hospitals I called her and gave her a choice: I could fly out to Kentucky to see her and her new house this year, or we could plan a trip somewhere next spring/summer/fall. <em>&#8220;I want to see you THIS year&#8230;&#8221; </em>she said, and I booked my flights and planned to &#8220;skip Thanksgiving&#8221; in order to spend some Quality Time with Jamie.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a whirlwind and I&#8217;m technically only halfway through my holiday vacation, but when I go missing from the Internets for several days on end people start to wonder whether or not I&#8217;m alive anymore, so I figured this afternoon &#8212; resting up for another night of drinking, laughing and debauchery &#8212; was a perfect time for a little vacay recap:</p>
<p><strong>Saturday, November 21</strong> &#8212; Jamie looks <em><strong>FAN-TAS-TIC</strong></em> after winning a six-month weight loss competition in which she beat out something like 555 other contestants.<span style="color:#888888;"> (So proud of her!) </span>We immediately picked up some salads at Whole Foods and drove to her parents&#8217; apartment, which is where they&#8217;re living in between selling their farm and renovating their new condo. We helped hang art on the walls and then headed to Jamie&#8217;s house, where I got the 10-cent tour before we went for a walk on Bardstown Road. Later that night, Dara met us at Jamie&#8217;s and us three girls went out for drinks and dancing at Molly Malone&#8217;s, where Jamie <span style="color:#888888;">(at 5&#8242;11&#8243;)</span> danced with the shortest feller in the joint <span style="color:#888888;">(he must&#8217;ve been 4&#8242;-something; he looked like a jockey!) </span>and we met a guy from Belfast who was in town for a bachelor party.</p>
<p><strong>Sunday</strong> &#8212; After sleeping in, Dara and Levi came over and we all went to partake in a scrumptious brunch at Bristol Bar &#38; Cafe on Bardstown. The mini waffles with fresh blueberries and strawberries were a big hit! To work off all of those calories, we organized Jamie&#8217;s garage in preparation for her to store some stuff for her parents during the transition between homes and took Buddha to the dog park. On the way home, we picked up some food from Ditto&#8217;s and a few DVDs, and spent the evening hanging out at home on the couch.</p>
<p><strong>Monday</strong> &#8212; We got up and moving in time to meet the moving company at Jamie&#8217;s sister&#8217;s house and oversee the unloading of a lot of furniture and boxes, and then on to Jamie&#8217;s for more unloading. Afterwards we headed to the <a title="Mellwood Arts Center" href="http://www.mellwoodartcenter.com/" target="_blank">Mellwood Arts Center</a> and picked up a few special items from local artists, and then we caught a matinee of <a title="Paranormal Activity" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179904/" target="_blank">Paranormal Activity</a>. That night, I forbade Jamie to walk up and down the stairs in her boot <span style="color:#888888;">(her left foot is in a boot after breaking her ankle in a car accident a few weeks ago)</span>!</p>
<p><strong>Tuesday</strong> &#8212; Jamie and I had a leisurely morning, in which she made me a variation of her &#8220;breakfast of champions&#8221; and after which we set out for the Zappos! outlet. I fell in love with a pair of Steve Madden pumps which were a little snug on my big toes but I couldn&#8217;t find them a half size larger, so I proceeded to wear them around the store while laying out a trail of only right-shoes for Jamie to try on her good foot.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://onewandering.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/stevemadden_extreemm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="SteveMadden_Extreemm" src="http://onewandering.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/stevemadden_extreemm.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>When Jamie was done walking around in gloriously sexy heels that made her 7&#8242;-something tall, she turned to me and said, <em>&#8220;Well?&#8221;</em> <em>&#8220;I think I&#8217;d gladly give up my big toenails for these shoes,&#8221;</em> I replied, <em>&#8220;Are my toenails worth $25 leather pumps?&#8221; &#8220;YES!&#8221; </em>she said, <em>&#8220;Definitely &#8212; For $25, I&#8217;ll stretch them out for you at work tomorrow!&#8221;</em> This was the moment where I became incredibly grateful that Jamie chose to go back to school to become an orthotist/prosthetist.</p>
<p>We finished off the evening by hanging out with Jamie&#8217;s friend Steve, watching movies and eating sushi.</p>
<p><strong>Wednesday</strong> &#8212; This morning we brought bagels and other goodies to Jamie&#8217;s work and then meandered through the art exhibits at the <a title="Speed Art Museum" href="http://www.speedmuseum.org/" target="_blank">Speed Art Museum</a>.</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re back home, relaxing before tonight. I think it&#8217;s obvious that I&#8217;m having a blast, and once again I&#8217;m counting myself so very LUCKY to have Jamie as a friend!</p>

<description><![CDATA[DISCLAIMER: Minor language. Proceed with caution. Quite the piss poor, I-feel-like-disowning-you ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>DISCLAIMER</strong>: Minor language. Proceed with caution.</p>
<p>Quite the <em>piss poor, I-feel-like-disowning-you </em>&#8220;performance&#8221; by the Sharks in their 7-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Sharks should have just stayed home in their cribs and choked on their pacifiers rather than &#8220;play&#8221; tonight.</p>
<p>Joe Thornton: Hey guys, let&#8217;s step on the ice.</p>
<p>*SILENCE*</p>
<p>Team: &#8230;and do what Jumbo? Are you going to finish that thought?</p>
<p>Thornton: Ya know, step on the ice and succeed with good ol&#8217; fashioned California chillin&#8217;.</p>
<p>Team: OMFG, you iz brilliant Jumbo! Why didnt us think of that?! LOLZ.</p>
<p>Give me a damn break. This was disgusting. Absolutely putrid. Um, helllllooooo? Um, hi? You little children play professional hockey. Sounds kinda cool when you think about it. How about you actually play the game. And try. Just try.</p>
<p>What the hell happened during this long layoff to make the Sharks play like a beer league team? They allowed three, THREE shorthanded goals. Two of them were on the same power play!</p>
<p>Nobody wanted to play, everyone played with jocks on their heads. Turnover after turnover, fail after fail. If there was any doubt left about our defense, those were put to rest. From now on, if anyone tells you the Sharks defense is good, go ahead and tell them to remove their secret Ducks jersey or to go watch the NBA.</p>
<p>What a joke. Jason Demers played his worst game of his career. Dan Boyle felt like playing with an injured foot because this was a big game. He did end up scoring very late in the game, but it&#8217;s refreshing to know he waited 56 minutes to do something with his life. He finished with a -4 rating.</p>
<p>Also joining Pimple &#8212; I mean Boyle &#8212; with a -4 rating were Thornton and Dany Heatley. For all the great stuff they&#8217;ve done recently, this game shat all over it. Good gracious, it was atrocious. They must be stunned to know you have to play defense too. What a concept!</p>
<div id="attachment_744" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://afanofthegame.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-18.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-744" title="Picture 18" src="http://afanofthegame.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/picture-18.png?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Manny Malhotra does his best pylon impression (From NHL.com)</p></div>
<p>With five minutes left to go in the second period, the shots were 26-7 Chicago. What in the blue hell is that about? Seven shots after 35 minutes? I could get eight shots on net by doing cartwheels the whole time.</p>
<p>At that time it was 4-0 and after the fourth, Ryane Clowe took it upon his messed-up-nose self to take a penalty. Brilliant. What a smart hockey player. Take a penalty and you show those bad guys you can beat them even with a man down. Ryane Clown. Blow me up a balloon while you make a joke of yourself.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and give credit to Chicago. They came in with an exceptional gameplan and their coach Joel Quenneville and perfected it. Sharks coach Todd McClellan was lost in the Tao of Joel&#8217;s stache.</p>
<p>This is the Blackhawks&#8217; eighth win in a row and they&#8217;re no signs of slowing down.</p>
<p><strong>LOL WUT?</strong></p>
<p>Frazer McLaren managed a +1 for the Sharks. Ha ha ha ha.</p>
<p><strong>AHL</strong></p>
<p>Five AHL players were in the lineup: Jamie McGinn, Benn Ferriero, McLaren, Steven Zalewski and Derek Joslin. Certainly looked like Worcester was playing.</p>
<p><strong>Kent friggin&#8217; Huskins&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;was on the power play. Yes. On the power play and caused the turnover that led to a Chicago goal. Don&#8217;t EVER put that guy on the PP again.</p>
<p><strong>Optimism Corner</strong></p>
<p>Hit-O-Meter: SJ 26  CHI 17</p>
<p>Faceoff Percentage: SJ 56%  CHI 44%</p>
<p>The game ended.</p>
<p><strong>Other Dreadful Notes</strong></p>
<p>The Sharks&#8217; injuries are plaguing them so badly now. Rob Blake, Devin Setoguchi, Jody Shelley, Brad Staubitz, Torrey Mitchell need to come back.</p>
<p>Per NHL rules, the Sharks are required to play again. They play Edmonton in Edmonton, Friday.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://twosistersonekitchen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7409.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-648" title="Yogurt Key Lime Pie" src="http://twosistersonekitchen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7409.jpg?w=300" alt="Yogurt Key Lime Pie" width="300" height="199" /></a>Jamie says:  Happy Thanksgiving!  I attended a Thanksgiving potluck dinner this weekend where everyone brought a dish and dressed up as pilgrims and Indians.  It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious.  I had been thinking about making a graham cracker crust for weeks now, so I decided this was the perfect time to try.  I found a recipe for a blueberry pie and used the graham cracker crust recipe as a guide.  I really enjoyed the Publix fat free light key lime pie yogurt I tried recently, so  I was inspired to make a healthier key lime pie by substituting key lime pie filling for this tasty yogurt.  The filling was thinner than a typical key lime pie because I used yogurt, but I think it was worth it.  I received a lot of complements, so I guess my experimental pie turned out quite well!  Here&#8217;s the recipe: </p>
<p>Preheat oven to 325°F.  Toast 1 cup walnuts in oven for about 6 minutes or until lightly toasted.  Coarsely chop walnuts.  Finely crush 10 graham cracker sheets (= 20 squares) in a ziplock bag.  Whisk 2 large egg whites in a medium sized bowl until frothy.  Add chopped walnuts, graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons Smart Balance Omega 3 spread, 2 tablespoons canola oil, and a pinch of salt to egg whites.  Blend until smooth.  Press mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.  Bake for 18 minutes.   Allow to cool completely.  Pour 3 six ounce containers of fat free light key lime pie yogurt (Publix brand) into the pie crust and spread evenly.  Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.</p>
<p>Nutrition note: Simple substitutions can add up.  To reduce the amount of calories and saturated fat in a recipe, try using a heart-healthy spread with no trans fats (like Smart Balance spread) instead of butter.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">• Michael Jackson</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Since there weren&#8217;t any choices, it goes to Michael. It goes to him not because he was the best this year but because he died this year, let&#8217;s keep it real. This music industry is so politically inclined they couldn&#8217;t just say we are giving MJ the accolades we haven&#8217;t given out of guilt&#8230;maybe if more of us were supportive and loving toward one of the greatest to ever do it then maybe the people closer to him would have done more to protect and take care of him.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Looking forward to seeing who actually wins! Maybe the industry can take notes from the AMAs by giving awards based on sales and not politics since sales mean PEOPLE chose the winners! *Pardon me Grammys* but the voters are not necessarily in tune with the music&#8230;I&#8217;ll get on their case in another blog coming soon!</p>

<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div><strong>Født</strong> 27. maj 1975 i Essex i England.</p>
<p><strong>Hans karriere</strong> begyndte så småt, da han som barn begyndte at hjælpe til på forældrenes pub The Cricketers.</p>
<p><strong>Siden</strong> har han arbejdet på Neal Street Restaurant og The River Café.</p>
<p><strong>I slutningen af 1990’erne</strong> blev han opdaget af et tv-hold fra BBC, der ville lave et program om The River Side Café.</p>
<p><strong>I 1999</strong> debuterede han med madprogrammet ’Det er bar’ mad’, som blev vist på DR 2 første gang i januar 2000. Siden har han lavet 16 madprogrammer og 12 kogebøger, der på verdensplan er blevet solgt i cirka 24 millioner eksemplarer.</p>
<p><strong>I 2002</strong> slog han dørene op til sin egen restaurant, Fifteen, og stiftede Fifteen Foundation, som hjælper unge fra svære kår til at uddanne sig som kokke. Og han har desuden åbnet restaurantkæden Jamie’s Italian.</p>
<p><strong>I 2005</strong> satte han fokus på skolemaden i England, hvor det lykkedes ham at få flere milliarder kroner til forbedringer.</p>
<p><strong>I løbet af 2009</strong> har han optaget tv-serien ’Jamie’s American Roadtrip’. Bogen ’Jamie’s America’ kommer i handlen til foråret.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="brdTxt"><strong>Skyer af damp står op fra gryderne i det åbne køkken, hvor kokke i hvide uniformer suser rundt om hinanden i ottetaller.</strong></p>
<p>Af og til slår en af dem på en lille klokke og råber ‘tjek’: et signal til tjenerne om, at endnu en tallerken er klar til at blive båret ud til gæsterne.</p>
<p>Jeg befinder mig på en af Jamie Olivers mange restauranter i London. Fifteen hedder stedet, hvilket står med iøjnefaldende graffiti hen over den ene væg. </p>
<p>Og selv om det første frokostryk er overstået, og klokken er over to denne tirsdag eftermiddag, er huset stadig fuldt af gæster.</p>
<p>Højlydt snak runger i lokalet. Her er forretningsmænd i jakkesæt, champagnedrikkende kvinder og et bøssepar, der kigger hinanden dybt i øjnene.</p>
<p>Indehaveren af restauranten, den verdenskendte kok Jamie Oliver, er ikke at se nogen steder.</p>
<p><strong>Næsten at være på Jamie Oliver-museum<br />
</strong>Og dog. Væggene i gangene er plastret til med portrætter af ham i alle tænkelige situationer. Det føles næsten som at være på museum.</p>
<p>Og på hylden over kasseapparatet står kogebøger og forskelligt Jamie Oliver-merchandise, der vidner om det imperium, den 34-årige kok efterhånden har fået bygget op omkring sig selv.</p>
<p><strong>Tv-programmer vises i 130 lande</strong><br />
Jamie Oliver er uden tvivl klodens mest kendte madnørd. Få andre kokke har været i stand til at ramme så bredt et publikum.</p>
<p>Ifølge tal fra New York Times er hans madprogrammer blevet vist i 130 lande. Jamie Oliver-kogebøgerne har solgt 24 millioner eksemplarer på verdensplan, og de er blevet oversat til 29 forskellige sprog.</p>
<p><strong>Kendt i Danmark siden 2000<br />
</strong>I Danmark mødte danske tv-seere første gang den unge kok 9. januar 2000, hvor første afsnit af ’Det bar’ mad’ blev vist på DR 2.</p>
<p>I dag har salget af hans kogebøger herhjemme sneget sig op på cirka 500.000 eksemplarer, vurderer Lindhardt og Ringhof. Og der er stadig lige så meget efterspørgsel efter dem, som der altid har været, fortæller redaktionschef i forlagets faktaafdeling, Ane Børup.</p>
<p>»Det sjove er, at selv om den engelske kok Gordon Ramsay er mere eksponeret i tv for øjeblikket, så sælger han ikke bedre. Jamie har et brand, som virkelig holder, og som gør, at han bliver ved med at sælge. Jeg kan ikke forklare det på andre måder, end at han er grundkendt«.</p>
<p><strong>Markant udvikling</strong><br />
Det er nu ti år siden, at Jamie Oliver debuterede med sit første tv-program og udgav kogebogen ’The naked chef’, eller ’Det er bar’ mad’, som den hedder på dansk.</p>
<p>Og sammenligner man forsiderne på den og hans seneste kogebog herhjemme, ’Alle kan lære at lave mad’, giver det et praj om den udvikling, han har været igennem.</p>
<p>I 1999 ligner han mest af alt en stor dreng. Det er hawaiiskjorte, pjusket hår og afslappet holdning.</p>
<p>Ti år senere er han fotograferet med rank ryg og et beslutsomt udtryk i ansigtet, som er han klar til at fægte sig vej ud i folks køkkener med det sæt kniv og gaffel, han holder i hænderne.</p>
<p>Jamie Oliver har selv fortalt, at han i sin tid valgte at kalde sig ’The naked chef’, fordi han ønskede at skrælle alt det overflødige af madlavningen. Det skulle være sjovt og nemt at lave mad, ingen fine fornemmelser.</p>
<p><strong>Et manifest og en bevægelse<br />
</strong>Den holdning har han sådan set stadig. I dag har han bare taget den skridtet videre.</p>
<p>’Alle kan lære at lave mad’ er nemlig ikke bare en samling opskrifter. Det er snarere et madmanifest, som han indleder med en bøn til læserne:</p>
<p>»Kære læser. Jeg vil bede dig om at gøre mig en tjeneste. Du skal være med til at udbrede en madbevægelse, som jeg har startet&#8230; i det store perspektiv handler det om en kolossalt vigtig bevægelse, som kan ændre vores alle sammens sundhed og fremtid«.</p>

I 2005 fik han den britiske regering til at donere en klækkelig sum til netop det projekt. Foto: Russell Boyce/AP</p>

<p><strong>Krigen mod fastfood</strong><br />
Jamie Olivers mission er at bekæmpe overforbruget af fastfood og dårlige færdigretter.</p>
<p>Ofte skyldes usund livsstil, at folk ikke ved, hvad de skal gøre i et køkken, mener han. Jamie Oliver tror på, at hvis folk bare kan lære at tilberede en håndfuld retter, vil de fleste blive så glade for at spise sundt, at de ikke kan lade være.</p>
<p>Og hvis de så oven i købet formidler opskrifterne videre, når ’Lær og lær fra dig-bevægelsen’, som Jamie Oliver selv kalder det, måske hele vejen rundt om Jorden en dag.</p>
<p><strong>Trin-for-trin-billeder<br />
</strong>Det er uden tvivl den mest pædagogiske kogebog, Jamie Oliver nogensinde har lavet.</p>
<p>Siderne er udstyret med pædagogiske instruktionsbilleder, der trin for trin næsten som en tegneserie viser, hvordan man lærer at koge havregrød med bær eller ris med muskatnød.</p>
<p><strong>Skal skrive under på side 15<br />
</strong>På side 15 er der ligefrem en stiplet linje, hvor kogebogens ejer skal skrive under på, at vedkommende vil lære en opskrift fra hvert kapitel og formidle dem videre til to eller flere venner, kolleger eller familiemedlemmer.</p>
<p>Så er stegeosen steget Jamie Oliver helt til hovedet, får man lyst til at spørge?</p>
<p>Nej, mener han selv:</p>
<p>»I bund og grund er ’Lær og lær fra dig-bevægelsen’ bare en moderne udgave af den måde, hvorpå opskrifter og viden altid er blevet givet videre fra generation til generation, dengang ikke alle var ude på arbejdsmarkedet«, skriver han i kogebogen:</p>
<p>»Og selv om ’Lær og lær fra dig-bevægelsen’ måske lyder latterligt enkel, kan den måske blive det vigtigste, der er gjort for folkesundheden siden krigen. Jeg ville ikke bede om din hjælp, medmindre det var absolut nødvendigt. Det her er ikke et frelst velgørenhedsstunt«.</p>
<p><strong>Kendt ved et tilfælde</strong><br />
Jamie Olivers succes begyndte ved lidt af et tilfælde. Han voksede op i Essex, hvor hans forældre ejede pubben The Cricketers. Jamie Oliver var fascineret af atmosfæren i køkkenet, og i en alder af en syv-otte år begyndte han så småt at hjælpe med at skrælle kartofler.</p>
<p>Siden uddannede han sig som kok og fik job på den kendte restaurant The River Café i London. Det var her, et tv-hold fra BBC opdagede den unge hurtigt hakkende, hurtigt snakkende – og til tider også hurtigt bandende – knægt.</p>
<p>Tv-holdet var ude for at lave et dokumentarprogram om stedet. Og dagen efter, at det blev vist på tv, blev Jamie Oliver ringet op af fem forskellige produktionsselskaber, som alle ville have ham til at lave et madprogram.<br />
<strong><br />
12 bøger og 16 madprogrammer</strong><br />
Siden den første programrække, ’The Naked chef’, hvor han lavede mad, så det stod om ørerne, og målte olivenolie op i ’glugs’ (direkte oversat er ’glug’ den klukkende lyd, der fremkommer, når man f.eks. hælder olie ud af en flaske, red.) i stedet for skefulde, har Jamie Oliver ifølge sin britiske hjemmeside udgivet 12 kogebøger og 16 madprogrammer.</p>
<p>Han har forvandlet belastede unge til stjernekokke på sine Fifteen-restauranter, der nu findes i både London, Cornwall, Amsterdam og Melbourne.</p>
<p>Han har åbnet restaurantkæden Jamie’s Italian og fået den britiske regering til donere flere milliarder kroner til hans kamp for at forbedre maden på de engelske skoler.</p>
<p><strong>Dyrevelfærd og Obama<br />
</strong>Han har kæmpet for dyrevelfærd og vendt vrangen ud på den engelske svineindustri i programserien ’Jamie Saves our Bacon’. Hans navn er at finde på alt fra kaffekrus og dækkeservietter til badesalt og Tefal-pander. Han har hilst på Oprah Winfrey og lavet mad til Barack Obama.</p>
<div><img src="http://multimedia.pol.dk/archive/00395/Mad_Jamie_22-11-200_395649e.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="165" height="136" />Jamie Oliver var 24 år, da han i 1999 begyndte sin karriere som hele verdens yndlingskok. I sin lejlighed i London inviterede han vennerne og kæresten ’the lovely Jools’, som han ynder at kalde sin hustru, på hjemmelavet mad i køkkenet, og tv-seere kunne følge det hele i programserien ’Det er bar’ mad’.

<p><strong>Indtager fast food-nation nummer 1</strong><br />
Og nu er han så i fuld gang med at indtage resten af USA – verdens mest fastfood-elskende nation.</p>
<p>Klikker man ind på Jamie Olivers hjemmeside, kan man se ham danse rundt med cowboyhat i traileren til sit seneste program ’Jamie’s American Road Trip’.</p>
<p>Her rejser han rundt i USA for at forsøge af finde gode originale amerikanske opskrifter, der bliver udgivet som kogebog i Danmark til foråret.</p>
<p><strong>Vil begrænse amerikansk fedmeepidemi</strong><br />
Desuden er han i gang med optagelserne til det, han kalder »den vigtigste og mest udfordrende ting«, han nogen sinde kommer til at gøre i sit liv:</p>
<p>En ny serie, der skal forsøge at ændre amerikanernes madvaner og begrænse den fedmeepidemi, der tærer på amerikanernes helbred.</p>
<p>Jamie Oliver har tænkt sig at bruge omtrent samme skabelon, som han brugte, da han i programmet ’Ministry of Food’ forsøgte at få folk i den engelske by Rotherham til at spise sundere. Han vil med andre ord lære folk at lave mad.</p>
<p><strong>Vil knække Huntingtonborgerne<br />
</strong>Han har udvalgt Huntington, som han besøgte i oktober, og ifølge New York Times er det det usundeste område i hele USA. Halvdelen af indbyggerne er overvægtige, og flere døjer med hjerteproblemer og sukkersyge.</p>
<p>Planen er blandt andet at få ’Lær og lær fra dig-bevægelsen’ til at knække Huntingtonborgernes hang til fastfood. Og han vil blandt andet oprette en form for ‘fælleskøkken’, hvor folk kan blive undervist i, hvordan de laver sund og nem mad.</p>
<p>»Jeg tror på, at jeg i det mindste kan plante et frø til forandring i Amerika i forhold til at hjælpe et folk i et lokalsamfund til at lave bedre mad til sig selv og deres børn &#8230; Jeg vil bruge alt, hvad jeg har lært gennem de seneste ti år, til at prøve at skabe meningsfulde og blivende forandringer«, skriver han på sin hjemmeside.</p>
<p><strong>»Jeg har ingen ret til at være her«<br />
</strong>Jamie Oliver har også tænkt sig at gå måltiderne efter i de amerikanske skoler, hvilket han håber vil skabe samme positive ændringer som i Storbritannien.</p>
<p>Let bliver det ikke at skabe forandringer, erkender han, men han er fast indstillet på at forsøge.</p>
<p>»Jeg er udlænding. Jeg har ingen ret til at være her. Men jeg har alle de rigtige grunde«, sagde han til New York Times i oktober.</p>
<p>Udsendelsen bliver sendt på den amerikanske kanal ABC i 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Hård skoletid<br />
</strong>Selv havde Jamie Oliver aldrig regnet med, at han skulle udgive så meget som en eneste bog. I skolen var det svært for ham at sidde stille.</p>
<p>Han havde ’special needs’, som det blev kaldt, og gik derfor i hjælpeklasse for at lære at læse og skrive, mens kammeraterne drillede ham ved at synge ’special needs’ på Beatles-melodien til ’Let it be’.</p>
<p><strong>Overrasket over bogsalget<br />
</strong>»Ingen er mere forbavset over det (at kogebøgerne har solgt så godt, red.) end jeg. Jeg tror, det skyldes god timing, at jeg var ung og meget begejstret for mad &#8230; Og fordi jeg lignede the boy next door, reagerede folk på det«, siger han på sin amerikanske hjemmeside.</p>
</div>

Sammen har de tre børn med navnene Petal Blossom Rainbow, Daisy Boo og Poppy Honey. Foto: Terry Bradford</p>
<p>»Jeg synes, det fantastiske og smukke i livet er, at alle kan gøre, hvad de vil. De grinede ad mig, da jeg gik i hjælpeklasse, men vi behøver ikke alle sammen være akademiske. Hvad er uddannelse? En bunke ting, folk synes, vi skal vide. Hvis du kan bygge en væg, hvis du kan male, hvis du kan arbejde sammen med andre mennesker – og vigtigst af alt, hvis du finder ud af, hvad du er god til – det er nøglen«, sagde han til New York Times.</p>
<p><strong>Tre børn og the lovely Jools</strong><br />
Til daglig bor Jamie Oliver sammen med hustruen Juliette Norton, som han har kendt, siden han var 18 år, og som han i sine programmer ofte omtaler som ’the lovely Jools’.</p>
<p>Parret blev gift i år 2000 og har tre børn med navne som Petal Blossom Rainbow, der blev født i år, Daisy Boo på seks og Poppy Honey på syv år.</p>
<p>»Nogle gange niver jeg mig selv og tænker: »Fuck mand, jeg har lige lavet mad til 20 verdensledere« eller: »Jeg har lige fået barn nummer tre – er det virkelig mig?«. Men jeg har altid følt mig parat – lige fra begyndelsen. Da jeg lavede ’Det er bar’ mad’, troede jeg på ingen måde, at jeg var verdens bedste kok, men der var nogle ting, jeg var rigtig god til, og som jeg følte mig helt tryg ved at lære fra mig«, sagde Jamie Oliver til MetroXpress i april.</p>
<p><strong>Hjemme i Essex<br />
</strong>Jamie Oliver og hans kone bor til daglig i London, men tilbringer ofte weekenderne på gården i Essex nær det sted, Jamie Oliver voksede op.</p>
<p>»Jools er ikke inde i noget af det, jeg beskæftiger mig med arbejdsmæssigt. Det betyder, at hjemme er hjemme, og når jeg er der, taler jeg ikke om arbejdet. Ligesom så mange andre arbejdende mødre og fædre ser jeg pigerne lidt om morgenen, og så ser jeg dem ikke, før det bliver weekend. Sådan har det altid været, så jeg har det ikke dårligt over det. Mor gør et godt job med at være mor«, fortalte han til The New York Times i oktober.</p>
<p><strong>Får vi aldrig nok?</strong><br />
Jamie Oliver har nok at se til. Men hvad er det, der har gjort, at Jamie Oliver er blevet så stor?</p>
<p>Hans evne til at finde på nye projekter, mener redaktionschef hos Lindhardt og Ringhof, Ane Børup.</p>
</div>
<div><img src="http://multimedia.pol.dk/archive/00395/Mad_JamieO_22-11-20_395653e.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="165" height="122" />Jamie Oliver har sit navn på alt fra fra kaffekrus til badesalt, og samarbejdet med Tefal er en af hans helt store kommercielle bedrifter. Foto: Bernd Kammerer/AP</p>
<p>»Han har en særlig evne til at forny sig. Lidt ligesom Madonna. Jeg tror, det er noget af det, der er med til at holde ham i live. Det med at være så alsidig: Først var han kendt for italiensk mad, så hoppede han over til at lave mad af friske grøntsager fra haven, og nu har han taget et nyt sving over i, at han vil lære alle at lave mad«, siger hun.</p>
<p><strong>Dygtig forretningsmand<br />
</strong>Men når nu Jamie Oliver er så bredt eksponeret, hvorfor er vi så ikke for længst blevet trætte af at se på ham?</p>
<p>Det skyldes blandt andet det sociale perspektiv i hans udsendelser, mener kokken Claus Meyer. Desuden er han en dygtig forretningsmand, kok og formidler:</p>
<p>»Jeg er imponeret over, at han med tv i ryggen og med en vis tyngde kan angribe et reelt problem og rent faktisk få den engelske regering til at give et trecifret millionbeløb pund til at forbedre skolemaden. Det gør det også lettere for os at acceptere ham på trods af overeksponeringen og de stærkt profitfokuserede kommercielle engagementer med Tefal og supermarkedskæden Sainsbury’s (som Jamie Oliver er talsmand for, red.)«, mener Claus Meyer.</p>
<p><strong>En mand med integritet<br />
</strong>Reklamemanden Niels Thomsen, der er partner i WinWin Agency, mener, at Jamie Oliver kan slippe af sted med sit kommercielle ridt, fordi han er ægte.</p>
<p>»Hvis en stjerne anbefaler noget, uden at det er troværdigt, så taber han. Hvis han reklamerer for smør den ene dag og whisky den anden, så ved man, at han kan købes for penge. Men hvis der er en vis integritet omkring det, han siger og mener, så virker det. Og Jamie Oliver er en mand med integritet«.</p>
<p><strong>Vil ikke læne sig tilbage<br />
</strong>Spørger man Jamie Oliver selv, er der gode grunde til, at han ikke blot læner sig tilbage.</p>
<p>»Jeg kunne jo godt lade mig pensionere nu, men hvorfor skulle jeg gøre det? Jeg er jo ung, og jeg har stadig en masse drømme. Jeg tror ikke, de går i opfyldelse, hvis jeg sætter mig ned og glor«, sagde han til MetroXpress i april.</p>
<p><strong>Kommer ikke så ofte<br />
</strong>Det er så småt begyndt at tynde ud ved bordene i Jamie Olivers restaurant Fifteen. Kokkene er gået i gang med at rydde op i køkkenet, hvorfra man kan høre skramlen med pander og tallerkener.</p>
<p>Jamie Oliver er stadig ikke at se nogen steder. Så da tjeneren kommer ned til bordet, spørger jeg hende, hvor han er?</p>
<p>»Ja, det er jo ikke så meget, vi ser til ham«, svarer hun.</p>
<p>»Han er en meget travl mand, så han kommer her ikke så ofte for tiden«.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://fraudoktor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jamieversteckt.jpg"><img src="http://fraudoktor.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jamieversteckt.jpg" alt="Jamie " title="jamieversteckt" width="400" height="400" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1356" /></a> das Wochenende ist fast vorbei, aber Frauchen lässt mich hier kaum schreiben. Andauernd probiert sie etwas aus. Es sind viel mehr Bilder raus gekommen, als sie Euch bis jetzt zeigt. Ich muss da mal petzen <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
Eigentlich wollte sie mich schon wieder bei Seite schubsen, aber das letzte Bild für heute kann ich Euch ja auch zeigen, so kann ich Euch heute mal kurz was berichten&#8230;<br />
Wir waren auf dem Hundeplatz, gestern und heute. Nur irgendwie war mein Frauchen nicht zufrieden, glaube ich&#8230;?<br />
Ich weiss ja auch nicht, das springen und rennen fand ich schon klasse, aber Fuß und Sitz, das geht ja gar nicht wenn noch so viele andere Hunde da sind. Manno andere Hunde, ich muss doch schauen was da los geht. Frauchen will das einfach nicht, versteh ich gar nicht, ich bin doch ganz lieb immer oder? Ha da hat sie nun gedacht eine neue Halskette macht mir was aus, ha aber nicht doch gar nicht <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Aber durch den Tunnel laufen oder Reifen springen da bin ich schneller wie sie und lass sie einfach stehen ha ha ha&#8230;<br />
Und der Trainer hat gesagt, ich habs  gehört&#8230; sie soll sich durchsetzen&#8230; das versteh ich aber gar nicht, sie meckert doch schon genug.<br />
Man wenn ihr wüsstet was das auch überall für tolle Düfte sind, ich muss doch meine Zeitung lesen und wenn es hier so viel Hunde gibt&#8230; kann ich doch nichts dafür oder?<br />
So ich bin jetzt wirklich müde und mein Frauchen soll sich endlich ins Bett machen&#8230; Ich zeig Euch noch mal Ihr letztes Kunstwerk von heute, ich glaube sie sagt dazu Stillleben. Das wird sie bestimmt noch mal irgendwo in Groß einstellen, aber schaut einfach mal selbst. Ist ja nichts zu fressen, aber sie findet das schön.<br />

<p><a href="http://twosistersonekitchen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7394.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-647" title="Spiced Chicken, Black Beans with Onions and Tomatoes, and Parsnips" src="http://twosistersonekitchen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cimg7394.jpg?w=300" alt="Spiced Chicken, Black Beans with Onions and Tomatoes, and Parsnips" width="300" height="199" /></a>Jamie says:  I was set on making chicken with black beans and rice, but sometimes things do not go exactly as planned.  When I looked at the directions on the container of rice, I realized I didn&#8217;t have an hour to wait for the rice to cook- and good thing because that&#8217;s when I decided to spice up the black beans and throw in some parsnips. </p>
<p>To make this Latin-inspired meal, I first washed and chopped up a bag of parsnips.  Parsnips are new to me, but I really enjoy them.  They have a texture and shape like a carrot and taste somewhat like a potato.  I coated the parsnips with extra virgin olive oil, seasoned sea salt, and ground pepper.  To make the chicken, I poured some of my Uncle Rick&#8217;s herb seasonings on top and baked it.  I then sautéed slices of onion in extra virgin olive oil.  After they turned a nice caramel color, I added black beans and some dried cilantro.  I topped the beans with chunks of fresh tomato.</p>
<p>I was very pleased with dinner.  It was delicious and the presentation was beautiful with a nice array of colors.  Kathryn couldn&#8217;t stop raving over the meal, which is like music to a chef&#8217;s ears.</p>
<p>Nutrition note: 1/2 cup of black beans contains about 25% of the daily value of fiber.</p>
