Pallone, Piscataway officials stress need to combat climate change in NJ
PISCATAWAY - During a visit to the township on Monday, U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-6th District, state Sen. Bob Smith, D-17th District, and Mayor Brian Wahler touted the need to pass legislation to authorize funding for state and local energy efficiency and conservation programs to help reduce the effects of climate change in the state.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program was first authorized in the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act. The program has provided funding to state, local and tribal governments to undertake projects to reduce energy use, to diversify energy supplies, improve air quality and the environment. The program was initially authorized at $2 billion per year for five years beginning in 2008. In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included $3.5 billion for this program, according to a news release.
The program has not received any additional appropriated funds since 2009. Pallone and his Committee hope to change that.
Earlier this month, Pallone's Energy and Commerce Committee held a hearing on numerous energy efficiency bills, including H.R. 2088, which would reauthorize the program to provide $3.5 billion annually from 2021 to 2025, according to the release.
"The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program is an important step toward combating climate change in a way that also grows our local economy," Pallone said. "Energy efficiency and conservation funding would help create good paying jobs, save consumers money on their energy bills, and reduce carbon pollution all at once. This program was a success, and we must restore this funding in order to give state and local governments the resources they need to reduce our energy usage and lower our carbon footprint. I thank Mayor Wahler and Senator Smith for their leadership on this important issue and look forward to continued cooperation between federal and local leaders."
Pallone toured the roof of the Piscataway Public Works building with Wahler, Smith and four members of the Piscataway Township Council. The township received more than $500,000 from the block grant program in 2011 to install solar panels on the roofs of public works buildings.

The U.S. Conference of Mayors, of which Wahler is a leader, supports bringing back the block grant energy efficiency program. In 2014, the U.S. Conference of Mayors published the results of their survey of more than 200 mayors whose cities participated in the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program when funds were appropriated in 2009. With these funds, state and local governments pursued a wide range of projects including energy retrofits of government buildings, deployment of LED street lighting, deployment of solar energy systems on public buildings, revision of building codes to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy and installation of EV charging and alternative fuel pumps.

"Piscataway Township is incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated partner and strong advocate of protecting the environment in our local voice on Capitol Hill, Representative Frank Pallone Jr.," Wahler said. "Our strong priorities of having a cleaner and greener future is shared by this long-time champion of energy efficiency and many other proactive initiatives."
Smith, who lives in Piscataway and is chairman of the Energy and Environment Committee, has been a leader in promoting energy efficiency at the state level, the release stated.

I like how they work despite some of them breaking compositional "rules". For example, the bottom left has an even number of bowls rather than odd. And the middle right is at the center rather than off-center.
Lovely styling as usual and inspiring.

Understanding the Sins of the Founding Fathers
Every country has founding myths. The most powerful of these stories suggest a people are particularly blessed by God. In the United States, we too have these stories, but building a common national identity is more difficult because we are a nation of immigrants. We have gotten around this challenge by having shared stories that mythologize the immigrant experience---whether crossing the Atlantic Ocean to overcome religious oppression or the pioneers crossing the prairie to settle the west.
Consider the story of the Puritans. In 1630 while on board the ship Arabella, Governor Winthrop gave a sermon that likened the colonists to the ancient Israelites, whom God delivered unto the Promised Land. Winthrop drew upon Matthew5:14 when he said they were new Israelites and that "we shall be as a City upon the Hill, the eyes of all people are upon us."
The "City upon the Hill" image has become an enduring part of American political discourse, although most people do not know that it has a Biblical basis; nor that it refers to Winthrop's sermon. What has been left out, however, is that Winthrop also thanked the deity in his diary for the fact that the native inhabitants for a 300 mile radius around their settlement had been "swept away by the small pox so God hath hereby cleared our title to this place."
This example should remind us all that not all Americans had the mythologized immigrant experience, whether due to having ancestors who survived the horrendous Middle Passage or because their indigenous ancestors managed not to succumb to small pox. While no one alive today is personally responsible for slavery, the wholesale destruction of Native populations or for that matter, the Holocaust or the Armenian genocide, but we inherit what our forefathers and foremothers wrought.
For example; Numbers 14:18, Exodus 20:5 and Deuteronomy 5:9 about God "visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation."
As a child I found these verses troubling. I had enough of my own sins to worry about, and didn't need my great-grandfathers' sins added on.
Recently while traveling on reservations and surrounding communities in Montana and South Dakota, these verses came to mind. I think it was because those places feel like the Indian Wars occurred in the recent past, not more than 125 years ago. It seemed like Custer's 1876 defeat is immortalized at every juncture.
Read More
- South Dakota has Custer State Park, Custer County and Custer city.
- Montana has the Custer Battlefield Museum, the town of Custer and Custer County. There is a Little Bighorn National Monument, with a dedication: "To the officers and soldiers killed, or who died of wounds received in action in the territory of Montana while clearing the district of the Yellowstone of hostile Indians."
In contrast, one has to search out places where most of those killed were Indians, such as Wounded Knee where the 7th Cavalry killed between 150-300 mostly unarmed Lakota men, women and children. The commander, James Forsyth, got a town named after him and 20 troopers were awarded the Medal of Honor.
All of this reminded me not only about the sins of the fathers passed unto us, but our ignorance about those sins.
- Few know that at the country's founding, there were at least 600 different tribal nations stretching across the continent---and one of these, the Delaware, were promised their own state by the Continental Congress. This was only the first of many, many un-kept promises.
- Few know that by 1900 the Native population had dropped from around 7 million down to 250,000---thanks to small pox, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid, influenza, chicken pox as well as battle field deaths.
- Or that in1763, a British general purposefully gave smallpox inflected blankets to Indians---and killed 500,000.
- While in Montana, a leader of the Gros Venture recounted such a story and said that at one point the numbers of his people had dropped down to 50 due to small pox.
But today there are 5.2 million people with Native American ancestry. That is roughly the equivalent to the number of Jews in the United States---a group that politicians regularly court. Yet few politicians worry about the Native vote and the reason is that nearly 40 percent of those eligible to vote are not even registered. And that leads into what I was doing in Montana and South Dakota. I had agreed to be an expert witness in the Wandering Medicine v. McCulloch voting rights case. While most of my traveling was related to that case, I learned quite a bit about things unrelated to voting rights, but that gave me a sense of what it means to be Native in some communities.
- One of the first things I learned is that Indians love basketball---everywhere I went I saw basketball hoops and people playing pick-up games. I also heard stories about discrimination related to basketball.
- A Crow woman told me that whenever they played a white team off-reservation the gymnasium would be packed with police and after the game, the road back to the reservation would have sobriety checkpoints, but that the whites traveling in the opposite direction were not stopped.
- A Northern Cheyenne told me about his experiences driving off reservation. His car has a sticker proclaiming that he is a "proud Native Marine veteran." The police in this particular town had a reputation for stopping cars being driven by Indians, so he wanted to see if this was true.
- Sure enough, he was stopped. The officer told him that his tail light was not working so he was going to be ticketed. When the man pulled out identification showing that he was a retired police officer, he was let go.
- Just north of the Fort Belknap Reservation, I had lunch in a café. The waitress told me that if Indians would not drive their cars into the town because they would be impounded and sold off when the owners could not pay the impoundment fees.
- While I did not see impoundments, I did see a family---man, woman and small boy pulling a red wagon loaded with groceries. They had walked a mile off reservation to the grocery store and heading to their car parked on reservation.
- When I asked the waitress if this happened a lot, she said "all the time, this is what it means to be an Indian living in America." My response---"Not in all parts of America," just garnered a shrug from her.
This is where my thoughts again turn to the Biblical verses about the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generations. While none of us committed those original sins, I do not want on my conscience having remained passive in the face of current injustices with roots in the actions of our forefathers and mothers. Nor do I want my sins of omission (i.e., not acting) being passed on to my children unto the third and fourth generation.

Every state in the nation has laws prohibiting drunk driving. Often referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) in other jurisdictions, drunk driving offenses are referred to as driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Texas.
Arrests for DWI in the greater Montgomery County area can be extremely embarrassing and confusing experiences, but it is important to remember that being charged with this kind of crime is not the same as being convicted. When police officers make certain errors or violate the rights of alleged offenders, prosecutors can often be forced to reduce or dismiss the criminal charges.

An attempt by npower to rebuild trust in the energy industry has backfired after a report it produced on power costs was described by both the government and the regulator Ofgem as misleading and in some cases wrong.
The gas and electricity supplier, recently voted the worst of the big six in terms of customer satisfaction, subsequently admitted that at least one of its important figures was wrong. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) branded the report "misleading on so many levels".
The subsidiary of the German group RWE published a report, Energy Explained: Inside the Cost of Energy, which it said set out the "real numbers" behind household bill increases.
In particular the report sought to show that the bulk of recent bill increases was largely the result of costs outside the company's control such as those imposed by ministers through environmental or social policies.
"At times during the debate on energy, facts have been in short supply, but we urgently need to dispel some myths to restore trust in the energy industry … Suppliers control less than 20% of a bill and I want to shine a light on all the different aspects of energy – particularly to reassure my customers that there is no hidden profit," said Paul Massara, chief executive of RWE npower.
The npower report argued that policy and regulation costs connected with carbon or supporting vulnerable customers would drive up costs to npower and the consumer from £172 per person in 2013 to £308 by 2020.
It said transportation costs would rise from £256 per customer in 2013 to £314 in 2020, but it later admitted that it had overestimated the cost by £15 after being challenged by Ofgem.
Ofgem said it was pleased npower had changed its numbers downwards but still questioned whether the energy company had yet got it right.
"We welcome npower's effort to inform the energy debate. However, their data on network costs is incorrect and misleading. We offered to help npower improve the accuracy of their numbers for network charges and it is disappointing that they did not engage fully with us until after the document had been circulated," it said.
DECC challenged other figures and assumptions used by the supply company. "Npower's analysis of the impact of energy bills is misleading on so many levels. Government estimates that the impact of our social and environmental programmes will in fact lower energy bills compared to what they would be in the absence of our policies, by as much as £166 in 2020," said DECC in a statement.
It added: "A number of the policies listed by npower don't have any impact on household energy bills, including the renewable heat incentive, climate change levy and the carbon reduction commitment."

The Czech Parliament has decided against adopting legislation that would have required the European nation to offer inexpensive abortions to citizens of foreign European Union member states.
The Alliance Defense Fund submitted a legal opinion last month to the Czech Republic Ministry of Health, dispelling misconceptions that European law requires the country to offer such abortions.
"No government must offer abortions simply because pro-abortion advocates demand they be provided. Neither European nor international law requires the Czech Republic to offer abortions," said ADF Legal Counsel Roger Kiska, who is based in Europe. "The Czech Parliament made the right decision to derail this bad and unpopular legislation."
"Attempts to force this type of illegitimate cross-border recognition through legislation are nothing new to Americans, who have already seen similar attempts involving health care and marriage," Kiska added. "Fortunately, this latest potential wildfire that was kindled by those who wanted to expand the reach of abortionists was doused in Europe before it could spread to American shores."
The problematic legislation lacked public support and was dropped and some of the same arguments ADF used in its legal papers, local pro-life and pro-family Czech Republic groups used in their arguments and communications with MPs against the legislation.
ADF stressed in its legal opinion submitted to the Czech Republic Ministry of Health that the European Parliament and the Council of Europe have themselves declared that they have no authority over member states with regard to abortion. Past resolutions by both bodies that recommended easy and legal access to abortion throughout Europe were entirely non-binding opinions.
The resolutions "are not binding on the Member States of the EU or the Council of Europe or any other European institutions," the ADF legal opinion explained. "Despite what some pressure groups may suggest, there is no such thing as a 'right to abortion' in international law or in European law…. Therefore, by restricting access to an abortion to certain people, a Member State should not be seen to be acting contrary to European law."
In 2006, the Council of Europe itself explained, "The European Union treaties have not bestowed on the Community or the Union the competence whereby the Union could regulate on abortions. The Member States thus have the competence to regulate on this and ensure compliance in their territory with the laws that they pass. The EU cannot interfere in unsatisfactory states of affairs due to differences in the legislation of Member States when it comes to areas that are not within its competence."
Later, the Council clarified further, writing, "the issue of abortion from a legal point of view falls under the competence of the individual Member States."
"Forcing this type of illegitimate cross-border recognition is something Americans have already seen attempted in laws related to health care and marriage," Kiska added. "It must be stopped wherever it rears its ugly head."

Red Land's defense makes big stop vs. Cocalico
DENVER — For those fans expecting extra momentum for teams that started their regular season a week early, Friday night's contest between Red Land and Cocalico proved otherwise.
In a physically exhausting affair, Red Land survived the Eagles comeback bid, 29-22, after the gritty Eagles came within a yard of a game-tying score late in the fourth quarter.
Cocalico (0-1) actually knotted the contest at 22-all in the third quarter on Brady Sawyer's 15-yard pass to Mitchell Caffrey. But Patriots' back Justin Johnson returned the ensuing kickoff up the gut, easily distancing himself from the Eagles' last defender for the winning score.
Johnson also rushed for 115 yards on 25 carries, including a 9-yard burst that gave the Patriots (2-0) a 15-7 lead at halftime.
That Patriots' lead quickly ballooned to 22-7 after Hunter Briner (4 catches, 163 yards, 2 TDs) hauled in a 77-yard touchdown pass from Jake Radic on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter.
"Their kids, they made plays," said Cocalico coach Dave Gingrich. "A return touchdown 98 yards, that breaks your back. First play of the second half, 70-yard pass, that breaks your back. I thought our kids played with great effort, great intensity, we just didn't get the result that we wanted."
The Eagles vaunted rushing attack racked up 336 yards on 56 carries, the bulk coming from Colton Goodman (18 carries, 175 yards, 2 TDs). This, after Red Land appeared to have Cocalico's veer figured out in the second quarter.
"They're very good at what they do, and it's something that we don't really see," said Red Land coach Chad Weaver. "Even in practice we try to simulate what they do, and we can't do it. I'm proud of the guys. They had some really big defensive stands, a couple of them. They found a way to get it done."
Red Land's defense forced Cocalico into three turnovers on downs, not to mention forcing a fumble on second-and-goal from the 4-yard line with 2:20 to play, resulting in the Patriots' possession from the one.
From there, Johnson ran out the clock, managing a pair of first downs including an 8-yard gain on third-and-7 to seal the win.
The Patriots, which won their season opener last week versus Bishop McDevitt, finished with 329 total yards, but 133 came on Briner's touchdown two grabs, including a 56-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter.
"Hunter is a kid that is a four-year starter for us, I think this is probably one of his better games he's played," Weaver said. "I think he's been waiting for the opportunities, and he got them, and he certainly shined."

Ex-Fox News head Roger Ailes dead
Former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes died Thursday morning at 77, Fox News reported.
The network shared a statement from Ailes's wife, Elizabeth Ailes, announcing the death. The statement was first obtained by conservative website The Drudge Report.
"I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning," the statement said.
{mosads}"During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions. And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life."
Ailes resigned as the head of Fox News in July 2016, after 20 years leading the network, amid sexual harassment allegations.

Every year on Thanksgiving I share the reasons that I am thankful for crochet and all that it has brought into my life. This if the fifth year that this blog has been up on Thanksgiving, and as I look back on the posts from previous years, I see that there are endless ways that crochet has improved my life.

A "thug" (1810) is someone who is violent with little regard for the law. Like "savage" and "terrorist", it has become highly racialized, especially since 2009. It has been called the new N-word.
Think like a White racist:
- savages = Native American men;
- terrorists = Muslim men;
- thugs = Black American men.
White Americans use these words to stereotype the men of an out-group as dangerous and naturally violent, as lacking morals and empathy. Whites then use that as an excuse to act in just that way towards them: violent, no empathy, no morals. Drones, police brutality, genocide.
You can see how racialized the word "thug" has become in 2015. Here is how many web pages use the following phrases according to Google:
- 497,000 "black thugs"
- 88,700 "Latino thugs" + "Hispanic thugs"
- 87,100 "white thugs"
- 8,520 "Asian thugs"
- 3,440 "ray rice is a thug"
- 6 "charlie sheen is a thug"
Even though Sheen has a much longer history of violence against women and his name appears on twice as many web pages.
White mass killers:
- 0 "dylan klebold was a thug"
- 0 "the tsarnaev brothers were thugs"
- 0 "james holmes was a thug"
- 1 "tim mcveigh was a thug"
- 1 "adam lanza was a thug"
Famous White criminals:
- 0 "ted kaczynski was a thug"
- 0 "john wayne gacy was a thug"
- 1 "john dillinger was a thug"
- 1 "ted bundy was a thug"
- 3 "lucky luciano was a thug"
- 4 "jesse james was a thug"
- 4 "charles manson was a thug"
- 5 "bill the kid was a thug"
- 5 "bonnie and clyde were thugs"
- 10 "john gotti was a thug"
- 3,630 "al capone was a thug"
Fictional White criminals:
- 0 "don corleone was a thug"
- 0 "walter white was a thug"
- 6 "tony soprano was a thug"
Unarmed Blacks killed by the police or neighbourhood watch:
- 7,320 "eric garner was a thug"
- 8,650 "oscar grant was a thug"
- 26,200 "trayvon martin was a thug"
- 45,200 "michael brown was a thug"
The New York Times said that Michael Brown was "no angel". It said the same of fellow thug Al Capone.
Thug timeline:
- 1810: The Thugs are a band of highwaymen in India who rob and kill. The word enters the English language.
- 1839: After British colonial authorities crack down on the Thugs, the word gains the more general meaning of "ruffian, cutthroat, violent lowbrow".
- 1959: The phrase "black thugs" appears in written English. "Negro thugs" and "colored thugs" (or even "coloured thugs") never do.
- late 1960s: The phrase "black thugs" catches on as Republicans in the US push "law and order" as a racist dog whistle issue to divide the working class. It is part of their Southern Strategy.
- 1990s: The phrase "black thugs" becomes yet more common as gangsta rap pushes the image of Black men as thugs.
But "thug" only puts a name to something White Americans have been thinking since the 1870s: Black men as naturally heartless and violent – the Black Brute stereotype. The stereotype underpinned lynching, Jim Crow and the Klan. Now it underpins racial profiling, police brutality and mass incarceration. Even in the 2010s, you cannot make sense of White American thought and behaviour without it.

I've been making cinnamon rolls from scratch for a very long
So we made the process simple and much easier by using frozen bread dough! Have you tried it?
Here's the thing, if there was a tremendous flavor difference between the homemade dough and frozen dough (dough that was already made by professionals), I would make the dough from scratch. But to my excitement, there is zero taste difference and frozen bread dough is JUST AS GOOD and much easier.
How to Make Quick Cinnamon Rolls
Just look at them?! Okay, I went a little overboard with the glaze… I really like a lot of glaze, but please note you don't have to put this much on!
If you squint, you can see through the thick layer of cream cheese, that they look exactly the same as any of our "homemade" dough cinnamon rolls. These are really good and fuss-free AND they're
How to Make Semi-Homemade Cinnamon Rolls using Frozen Bread Dough.
This recipe for the rolls has only 5 ingredients total, takes about 15 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake and makes 12 large cinnamon rolls. The icing is separate but also very easy!
- Frozen Bread Dough – Use Rhodes Italian Frozen Bread or Primo Taglio Pizza Dough. You can also get dough from a local pizza shop!
- Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Butter
- Cinnamon
How do you thaw frozen bread dough for cinnamon rolls?
To thaw frozen bread dough, leave it in the package and let it stand room temperature for about 30 minutes until dough reaches 55-60 degrees F.
Rolling the Cinnamon Roll Dough
Roll the dough out in the shape of a rectangle that is 15″ in length and about 5-6″ width.
Brush the dough with melted butter. Yum.
Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir to mix.
Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered dough.
Cover the entire surface with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Starting from the top, roll the dough tightly to make a log. Keep it as tight as possible and then cut 12 slices. I made little lines all the way down so I know where to cut to make them even.
Place them in a buttered cast iron pan, leaving some space between the rolls. They will expand and touch each other after they bake.
Bake them for 25-20 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
Now that the easy cinnamon rolls are cooking, it's time to make the cinnamon roll icing!
Easy Cream Cheese Glaze for Cinnamon Rolls
We love a good cream cheese glaze to top our cinnamon rolls off with! This recipe uses only 5 ingredients and takes about 5 minutes to make.
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla
- Whole Milk
Make sure the butter and cream cheese are very soft before mixing together. Also, add more milk if needed. You want it to be a thicker glaze, but remember it will also melt when poured over the hot cinnamon rolls.
- Stand Mixer
- Large cast iron skillet or rectangular casserole pan
- Pastry brush
- Knife to cut the dough
- Frozen bread dough
- Small bowl for sugar mixture
Recipe Variations
You can add ingredients to the dough before it's rolled, like mini chocolate chips, nuts, or even coconut shreds.
Use any extract in the glaze to give it a hint of another flavor. Like almond, lemon, orange, lavender…
Leave the cream cheese out of the glaze if desired.
Add toppings to over the glaze.
Serve these semi-homade cinnamon rolls with egg, coffee, fruit and bacon for the best breakfast/brunch ever!

The Next Chapter 2019: Applications open
The Next Chapter – the Wheeler Centre's scheme for supporting writers – is back. Entries open Thursday 2 May – Friday 12 July 2019.
Across the country – in our regions, in our suburbs, in our cities – there are aspiring writers with stories to tell. But getting those stories heard is not easy. And the commercial market is not always the best place for a writer to develop their skills and hone their craft.
So what are the challenges for emerging talent in Australia? How do we make it possible for aspiring writers to connect with peers and mentors across the nation? And how do we make sure the industry has the tools to build inclusive networks and support writers from marginalised communities?
The Wheeler Centre's Next Chapter is here to elevate the Australian stories that aren't being published – and to nurture a new generation of writers, from all sorts of backgrounds, to tell them.
Each year, The Next Chapter judges pick ten outstanding writers and give them $15,000 each to develop their work. The scheme will match them with a mentor who will work closely with them on bringing their writing to life, connecting them with peers, publishers and readers. (You can find out more about our 2018 cohort of writers and mentors here.)
Applications and nominations open 5pm Thursday 2 May and close 5pm Friday 12 July 2019.
Writers will be assessed on a writing sample, a 300 word or less pitch and a one page letter of support from someone who can vouch for the entrant's commitment to writing. You don't need a university English degree, industry connections or even to have been published before.
More information on how to apply or nominate a writer can be found on The Next Chapter website – that's thenextchapter.wheelercentre.com. We've also laid out some of the key details in this video.

This typical French mantel clock of the mid-19th century was likely purchased to furnish the new House wing when it opened in 1857. The clockworks were made by Jean Vincenti & Company, a Paris firm. The clock's case, too, marks it as European. Greek and Roman mythological scenes were popular in France at the time, and on this example, a chubby young faun reaches toward bare-chested Bacchus, the god of wine, who reclines against the clockface and fills his cup from a sizable pitcher.

When I'm feeling homesick for New York, nothing other than classic NY pizzeria fare will do: pizza, calzone, sausage rolls. A perfect golden crust with oozing mozzarella. Stuffed with sausage and broccoli rabe with a side of garlicky marina. If reading this is making you as hungry as I am, fear not my friends. I'm going to walk you through how to make this classic broccoli rabe sausage roll.
Italian Sausage Rolls, Calzone, and Pizza
These are three of the best things one gets at a NY pizzeria. Don't worry, I didn't forget the toasty heroes or glistening garlic knots commonly found at these establishments. Rice balls, a side of meatballs, lasagna - all are killer. Come to think about it, there isn't anything coming out of a pizzeria that I don't love. That's why I like to recreate my favorite New York style pizzeria dishes when I'm missing my home.
The one I'm focusing on today, the broccoli rabe sausage roll, is great plain, but is even better when dipped in a side of marinara sauce. I like to bring it to a higher level with the addition of fresh mozzarella. Harder to make? Nope, just as simple. I think adding a special twist to a common dish is always a winning idea. I did this in my recipe for Roasted Garlic White Pizza. Check that one out for a standard New York style white slice taken up a notch with the simple addition of some roasted garlic.
Before I go on, you might be asking yourself, "what is broccoli rabe?" Here's some good info on it. This veggie, also known as rapini, is beloved in my home. Though it shares its name with broccoli it is from a different family, and definitely does not taste similar. It has an excellent bitterness to it and goes so well in a variety of sausage dishes. A side of cherry peppers with it - delicious!
Ingredients For The Broccoli Rabe Italian Sausage Roll:
Fresh Italian sausage is a must. I always recommend getting the best ingredients. If you live in an area of the country where there is an Italian-American population, you may already be familiar with a local Italian grocery, or pork store. Go there - go straight there and don't look back! My favorite pork store in Long Island was A&S in Massapequa - the quality of their meat was just unsurpassed. If you don't have access to a pork store, the sausage sold at supermarkets or Costco will suffice. Fresh mozzarella is usually pretty easy to get as well.
Finding broccoli rabe might be more challenging so if you're unable to find it, kale or broccoli would both be good substitutes. Basically, any dense, green veggie will combine well with the melted cheese and sausage.
Pizza dough is used for these rolls and the store bought variety can make this dish even easier. As with my roasted garlic white pizza recipe, try to get pizza dough from the best pizza place in your neighborhood. If no luck there, Trader Joe's makes a good pizza dough that I have used many times in a pinch.
As far as the sauce, a quick marinara can be whipped up with 4 ingredients. Garlic, tomatoes, olive oil and salt. If you are not feeling that adventurous buy your favorite jarred sauce. I'm not a big fan of any jarred sauce so I really recommend making your own.
Sausage Roll Process:
The sausage and broccoli rabe are both roasted prior to cooking the roll. The sausage takes longer, about 25 minutes and the broccoli rabe takes 12 minutes or so. The brocoli rabe does not need to be precooked. I do it because I prefer the roasted flavor of it in the roll, and I think it adds another flavor dimension.
While the sausage is roasting prepare the dough. Pizza dough needs to be brought up to room temperature so take it out of the fridge 2 hours before starting. Roll it out into a rectangle about the size of a sheet pan. Make sure you flour your hands, rolling pin and cutting board so the dough does not stick. Place the dough in an oiled pan or on top of a parchment paper lined pan.
After the dough is set in the pan cut up the sausage on a bias and roughly chop the broccoli rabe. Place the sausage into the middle of the dough, as pictured above. Next place the fresh mozzarella and broccoli rabe onto the sausage. Move onto folding the dough.
The dough should be rolled up with the seam left on the bottom. The sides can be pinched together and tucked under as well. Just make sure the dough is pinched together so it does not open. Finally an egg wash is applied on the top of the roll and slits are made so steam can escape while baking. Sesame seeds add a great look and flavor as well.

- Margarita Pizza With Store Bought Dough
- Pizza Bianca Recipe
- Italian Sausage Pasta
- Spaghetti Amatriciana Recipe
- Shrimp Fra Diavolo
- 1 16oz pizza dough
- 10 oz fresh mozzarella
- 4 large sweet Italian sausage links
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Set oven rack at middle height and heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Roast 4 links of Italian sausage for 25 minutes in oven safe dish. Poke fork holes in the sausage prior to roasting.
- Wash and chop off bottom 2 inches of broccoli rabe stems. Place broccoli rabe in roasting pan. Pour 3 Tbsp of olive oil onto broccoli rabe, and apply ½ tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of black pepper. Roast for 12 minutes.
- While sausage and veggies are roasting, roll out pizza dough to ¼" thick and place dough on sheet pan. When rolling out dough make sure you flour hands, rolling pin, and cutting board to avoid sticking.
- Cut up sausage and broccoli rabe after their roasting times have completed. Sausage should be cut into ½" thick pieces on a diagonal bias and broccoli rabe can be roughly chopped into 2 inch long pieces.
- Place sausage into a line in the middle of rolled out dough leaving 2 inches on each side. Then add slices of the fresh mozzarella and finally add the chopped broccoli rabe on top.
- Fold the roll together like a jelly roll. The seamed area can be pinched together and placed seam side down. The sides should be pinched together and tucked under.
- Beat the egg and brush onto top of roll with pastry brush. Cut slits on top of roll and top with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees until golden brown. When done, let rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into 2 inch thick slices and serve with marinara sauce. Enjoy!
- hot or sweet sausage are both great
- sesame seeds are optional

Important: You will need to login to your "CRA My Account" the following business day to confirm that your direct deposit has been successfully set up.
Will I still receive cheques if I sign up for direct deposit?
No. Once you are enrolled for direct deposit, you will receive CRA payments such as benefits, credits and refunds directly to your account.
Is it safe to sign up for direct deposit?
In order to offer this direct deposit enrolment service, Radius Credit Union signed an extensive Terms of Use Agreement with the CRA, which obliges us to use consent and privacy statements with all our members who enroll in CRA direct deposit. By signing these consent and privacy statements, you will acknowledge and agree that:
- To facilitate your direct deposit enrolment with the CRA:
- The CRA requires your name, bank account information, date of birth and social insurance number (SIN).
- Radius Credit Union will provide to the CRA your name and bank account information as set out above, as well as the date of birth and SIN that we have on file for you.
- Once the CRA has completed your direct deposit enrolment, the Receiver General will deposit any amounts to be paid to you by the CRA.
The Government of Canada considers privacy and security of utmost importance in the issuance of payments. Any information you provide to the Government of Canada when you enroll for direct deposit is protected under the Government of Canada Privacy Act and as described in Receiver General Payments (Personal Information Bank PWGSC PCU 712).
Why do I need to provide my Social Insurance Number (SIN)?
Social Insurance Numbers provide a unique identifier for every Canadian with the CRA. Providing your SIN number ensures the payment is made to the right person.
How long will it take to process my direct deposit enrolment or update through my financial institution?
Once you provide consent for your banking information to be shared with the CRA, your direct deposit information will be updated the following day. The CRA aims to process your direct deposit enrollment or information updates in one or two business days. Given the current environment, you may experience longer than usual processing times once the CRA receives your information from us.
How will I know that my direct deposit information has been updated?
If you are fully registered for CRA's "My Account", you can verify your direct deposit information through this online self-service portal.
How do I know that I have received my direct deposit payment from the CRA?
You can verify that the payment has been received by checking your account activity on your Radius Credit Union Online Banking, Mobile App, or statement. Your payment amount will be deposited directly into your account.
You can also confirm that the payment was sent by the CRA by logging into CRA's "My Account".
The CRA will never send you an email, text or Interac e-transfer to a link asking for your personal information to receive your benefit payment or refund. These are scams and taxpayers should never respond to these fraudulent communications or click on any of the links provided. If you submit multiple requests to update your direct deposit information, the most recent enrolment you complete will become the account on file with the Canada Revenue Agency. Direct deposits will only be made into one account, at one financial institution.
Click here to sign up for direct deposit directly through the CRA website >>
If You Would Like to Request the CERB
*IMPORTANT NOTE: by registering for CRA Direct Deposit, you are only authorizing the CRA to make credits to your account. This form does not authorize them to make debits from your account.
**Please note that registering for Direct Deposit through Radius Credit Union's Online Banking does not register you for the CERB.**
If you would like to obtain the CERB benefit, you must apply for it directly on the CRA website beginning April 6. Additional information and questions about the CERB can be found at the Government of Canada's website.

Miley Cyrus apologizes for racially 'insensitive' comments about hip hop
Miley Cyrus is making amends for controversial comments she previously made about her experiences making hip hop-influenced music.
After releasing her 2013 "Bangerz" album, featuring production from rap producer Mike Will Made It, Cyrus went on to criticize the genre in a 2017 interview, claiming rappers' lyrics were too lewd and saying, "I can't listen to that anymore. That's what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little."
Cyrus has seemingly realized the bad optics of that statement, apologizing in the comment section of a YouTube video by user As Told By Kenya. Titled "Miley Cyrus Is My Problematic Fav...Sorry," the video is largely complimentary while casting Cyrus' hip hop comments as an unfortunate moment in her career, with YouTuber Kenya Wilson saying about the interview, "It wasn't the right thing to say, it was bad, it was
racially insensitive, it had racist undertones and it wasn't OK, point blank, period."
Several weeks after the video was posted on May 31, Cyrus left a comment from her official YouTube profile on Tuesday.
"Just watched your video," she wrote. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak up. Being silent is not like me at all. I am aware of my platform and have always used it the best way I know how and to shine a light on injustice. I want to start with saying I am sorry. I own the fact that saying ... "this pushed me out of the hip hop scene a little" was insensitive as it is a privilege to have the ability to dip in and out of 'the scene.' "
"There are decades of inequality that I am aware of, but still have alot (sic) learn about," she continued. "Silence is apart of the problem and I refuse to be quiet anymore. My words became a divider in a time where togetherness and unity is crucial. I can not change what I said at that time, but I can say I am deeply sorry for the disconnect my words caused. Simply said; I (expletive) up and I sincerely apologize . I'm committed to using my voice for healing, change, and standing up for what's right. Miley"
(Warning: Explicit language)
Cyrus has been vocal in recent weeks, slamming a critical review of her new EP "She is Coming" before speaking out about a scary incident in which she was forcibly groped by a stranger in Barcelona, saying women "CAN'T be grabbed without her consent" accompanied by the hashtag "#Dont(Expletive)WithMyFreedom."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway will not testify before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee this week on her alleged violations of the Hatch Act, the White House told the panel's chairman on Monday.
"In accordance with long-standing precedent, we respectfully decline the invitation to make Ms. Conway available for testimony before the Committee," White House legal counsel Pat Cipollone told Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings in a letter.
The 1939 Hatch Act prohibits executive branch employees from engaging in some political activities.
The Oversight Committee has said it would vote on a potential subpoena if Conway does not testify before lawmakers on Wednesday.
The hearing was scheduled after the Office of Special Counsel, a U.S. government watchdog agency, earlier this month recommended Conway be fired for repeatedly violating the Hatch Act by disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media.
Trump has said he would not fire Conway, 52, a former political pollster who became Trump's campaign manager in 2016 and the first woman to oversee a winning U.S. presidential campaign.
If Conway does not testify at the hearing, the Oversight Committee plans to hold a business meeting to consider authorizing a subpoena for the White House adviser for "testimony in connection with her failure to comply with the Hatch Act and ethics laws," Cummings wrote in a letter to committee members dated Friday.
House Democrats have been frustrated by the Trump administration's stonewalling of their efforts to hold senior officials to account. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Attorney General William Barr and other officials have defied subpoena requests from Democratic-led House panels in recent months.

I recognized the cough. The bark that comes in the night after tucking in.
So the youngest girl and I went out in the cold, night air. Cold air to battle the croup. We snuggled on the front step and awed at the full moon. We decided that this was a treat.
Once her breathing had steadied, we went back inside. Daddy had the cool mist humidifier all set up.
"Come, sweet girl," I said. "The most important thing you need is sleep."
There was a poignant pause on the step. She turned…
