Tuscan Style Artichokes

Leave a comment

 

I saved this clip for Tuscan Style Artichokes from a 1999 Food Section recipe but couldn’t find it online to Pin. So here it is for everyone!

 

Ingredients

  • 3 med artichokes, 8 to 10 ounces each
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbs white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbs chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Breadcrumbs/Parmesan for garnish

 

 

Directions

  • 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F

  • 2

Cut each artichoke into quarters lengthwise, dropping them immediately into a bowl of water with the juice of 1 lemon, to avoid discoloring. With a small sharp knife, scoop out and discard the hairy choke.

  • 3

In a large saute pan, mix the oil, vinegar, wine, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange the artichoke quarters in one layer with one cut side facing down, in the saute pan. Place the pan on the stove top and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat for about 30 seconds. Then place the pan in the oven and roast the artichokes, turning once so that the other cut sides face down, until golden brown and barely tender, about 15 minutes total. The artichoke quarters may be prepared to this point several hours ahead and set aside at room temp.

  • 4

Pick the artichoke quarters (with tongs, if hot) and allow any excess oil to drip away, Grill the hearts directly over high heat, turning occasionally, until they are nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Serve warm.

 

Afterschool Learn To Luge

One comment

Get ready to have your kids’ socks blown off. The US Luge Association/Youth Sports Alliance After School Luge Program kicks off at the end of October so if you’ve got boys and girls with nuts of steel sign them up now. The luge program at the Utah Olympic Park is designed specifically for youth ages 8-13 (minimum height 52 inches), who have never been on a sled before.

Athletes start at Curve 12, the lowest point on the track to run sleds, and move up from there. They’ll take the first few runs on the last 4 curves (bottom 1/4) of the track. Once everyone is comfortable, they move up the track to the Tourist Start (one curve and straightaway higher).
The Learn to Luge program runs for three consecutive Fridays with registered participants sliding on all three of the dates. Athletes who drool for more are then invited to continue training with the Wasatch Luge Club’s Youth Training Program (meets Saturday nights). If you haven’t figured it out, this program can lead directly to national level competitions, maybe even the Olympics.

Transportation to the Utah Olympic Park (UOP) and athlete pick up from the UOP after sliding will need to be done by parents. For students attending Ecker Hill Middle School transportation to and from the UOP is provided. All athletes (students) need to be at the UOP by 2:00 PM. They will slide from 2:30-4:00 and be available for pick up at 4:00 PM. Parents are gladly invited to stay and watch.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Dates: October 30, November 6, and November 13

Time:
Arrive UOP 2:00 PM
Slide 2:30-4:00 PM
Available for pick up 4:00 PM

Cost:

For questions or to get a registration packet call Jon Owen at the USA Luge Park City office, 435-647-3800 or email parkcityluge@usaluge.org. Registration deadline is October 16th.

Tumbleweeds Kids Film Festival Returns This Weekend

Leave a comment

What started as a Sundance Fest addon has a life of its own and the 5th Annual Tumbleweeds Film Festival lives on this September 25-27. The Rose Wagner Theater becomes kid central with family friendly films, workshops and a Clubhouse with obstacle course, Microsoft Just Dance mini dance floor, STEM learning activity by Animal Jam, and an arts and crafts station.

The Utah Film Center’s Patrick Hubley said, “We launched our Tumbleweeds programming with the goal of fostering the next generation of filmmakers and film fans, and we hope this programming will inspire the creativity and imaginations of young film-goers not only in Utah but across the country.”

Tumbleweeds features content for children and teens and is the only one of its kind in the Intermountain West. Next weekend, kids 4 and older will have the chance to see world cinematic films like Pim & Pom from the Nederlands.

The lineup includes 11 feature films, a documentary, and four shorts. Audiences will see the best g-rated flicks from around the world, participate in media arts workshops, and get down with Just Dance and arts and crafts in the Tumbleweeds Kids Clubhouse.

“The festival has evolved to include a traveling statewide program and Utah Film Center has developed a partnership with Sundance Institute to co-curate Sundance Kids during the Sundance Film Festival in January as a direct result of Tumbleweeds’ successes,” said Hubley.

The most exciting part will be the game coding and Animal Jam Animator workshops. If interested, sign up asap. They are limited to the first 10 registrants.
