Photo of the Day - Surfing in Barbados

Filed under: , , ,

The movements and rhythm of surfing have their own unique poetry. The energetic ebb and flow of the waves merges with the acrobatic twists and cuts of the rider as he makes his way across the water's surface. Today's photo, by Flickr user Enjoy Patrick Responsibly on the Caribbean island of Barbados, is full of that energy. I love how the photo catches the surfer frozen at the crest of the wave, a spray of foam erupting in his wake.

Taken any great photos during your travels? Why not share them with us by adding them to the Gadling group on Flickr? We might just pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.

Lime, Grapefruit and Ginger Juice

I wanted to let you know that a few of us are going to focus on cooking from Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: The Many Little Meals of Rose Bakery over the next two months. I've always liked the idea of cooking from one book for an extended time period, and we've been doing that lately. We did - Moro East last, and The Essential New York Times Cookbook before that. The more the merrier, we'd love to have you join us. To kick things off I decided to start with this beauty - a lovely yellow, citrus-centric Lime, Grapefruit and Ginger Juice.

Grapefruit Juice

It's still citrus season here in San Francisco, and this is a great way to use up a couple ruby red grapefruits. I don't really do the smoothie thing much these days, but I do love a good fruit juice blend. If you're looking for a jolt something bright, invigorating, spicy and citrusy - this is just the thing. It's a pick-me-up minus the caffeine. You steep grated ginger in a bit of sugared water, and then strain it into a lime & grapefruit juice blend. I like to sip it out of a tiny cordial glass with a big ice cube or mix it with sparkling water as an afternoon refresher. It has a good amount of kick, and you can feel it going down - in a good way.

Grapefruit Juice

I suspect there will be plenty of other recipes to discover in this cookbook. So please, feel free to join us. I think this is going to be a fun one to cook from. As I mention on the site, cafe classics are well-represented - scones, smoothies, multiple granolas, soups, salads, and sandwiches. But one of the things I appreciate about this book is the inclusion of recipes that feature natural sweeteners, and slightly off-beat whole grains and flours (quinoa / millet). The book includes many vegetarian recipes, quite a number of vegan recipes, gluten-free recipes, etc. Clearly this is a thoughtful compilation of recipes meant to be crowd-pleasers.

Related Link: For those of you who haven't visited 101 Cookbooks' little sister site - it's a place for the 101 Cookbooks community to help each other find the best cookbooks and recipes. A number of us have been using it quietly for the last year or so, sounding off about recipes we like from our favorite cookbooks. You can tell others which cookbooks have become indispensable to you, list off the recipes you like best from cookbook to cookbook, ask questions, and get inspired by what others have to share. You can let people know when you find a cookbook you love, or a recipe that turned out surprisingly good. It's a friendly place, and pretty relaxed.

TVA Announces 2011 Campground Season

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Valley Authority's 11 seasonal campgrounds on reservoirs throughout the Tennessee River watershed will open for the 2011 recreation season on Friday, March 18.

These are in addition to about 70 TVA day-use recreation areas located on dam reservations that are open year-round. Day-use recreation areas are used for hiking, fishing, boating, picnicking, wildlife viewing and swimming.

The season for most campgrounds runs through Nov. 14. Three sites will remain open a month longer through Dec. 12: Douglas Dam Headwater Campground, Douglas Dam Tailwater Campground and Pickwick Dam Tailwater Campground.

Campground opening times and additional information on recreation opportunities on TVA reservoirs are available by calling 800-882-5263 or visiting www.tva.com/river/recreation.

TVA campgrounds that will open on March 18 are:

  • Cherokee Dam Campground - Cherokee Reservoir near Morristown, Tenn.
  • Douglas Dam Headwater Campground - Douglas Reservoir near Sevierville, Tenn.
  • Douglas Dam Tailwater Campground - Douglas Reservoir near Dandridge, Tenn.
  • Foster Falls Campground - Marion County, Tenn.
  • Melton Hill Dam Campground - Melton Hill Reservoir near Oak Ridge, Tenn.
  • Barton Springs Campground - Normandy Reservoir near Manchester, Tenn.
  • Loyston Point Campground - Norris Reservoir near Norris, Tenn.
  • Pickwick Dam Tailwater Campground - Pickwick Reservoir near Savannah, Tenn.
  • Watauga Dam Tailwater Campground - Watauga Reservoir near Elizabethton, Tenn.
  • Mallard Creek Campground - Wheeler Reservoir near Rogersville, Ala.
  • Wilson Dam Rockpile Campground - Wilson Reservoir near Muscle Shoals, Ala.
Camping with campfires is a traditional way of enjoying the outdoors. However, imported firewood can spread pest infestations that kill trees. To prevent the spread of these destructive pests, TVA recommends buying firewood that is cut locally, preferably within the same county where it will be burned.

The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.
