This time of year, I often get asked to make a “low-fat” or “low-calorie” dessert, and I always find myself at odds with these requests. Personally, I don’t feel that a dessert should have any of those “qualities.” A dessert should have all of the fat and calories, which is what makes it “dessert.” It’s like a reward in a way, so why would you deprive yourself of the full experience?

When guys hear the words “baby shower,” they picture a circle of woman sitting around oohing and ahhing over tiny outfits and rattles as they discuss labor tales.While they are not far from wrong, there have been some serious changes and modernizations in this type of gathering. More and more mothers- and fathers-to-be are throwing co-ed baby showers and creating parties that both of the expecting parents can enjoy. Planning a co-ed baby shower is easy and fun.
 This co-ed baby shower party features Stewart's Fountain Classic sodas paired with a wedding almond cake with butter cream icing, and wedding almond cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes and red velvet cupcakes with butter cream icing by Oh Snap! Cupcakes and Gourmet Bakery. (Katie King/kking@pnj.com) First things first. If you are planning a shower for a friend, talk to the mommy-to-be and see if she wants to make the shower co-ed. If she agrees, speak with her parents and make a guest list of couples and friends they want to invite. Once you know how many people to plan for, you can start working on the menu.

Local haunts hit big screen in indie flick Film directed by Washington grad

Brett Haley lives in Brooklyn, but when it came to making his breakout feature film, the Washington High School graduate — Class of 2001 — looked to more familiar turf.
“I wanted it to be a little bit of a love letter to my hometown,” said Haley, 27, who filmed much of “The New Year” at Cordova Lanes in Pensacola. “It’s fun to see the places you grew up in or still visit in a film. Besides, if I tried to shoot at a bowling alley in Brooklyn, I couldn’t shoot one day for $8,000.”
That $8,000 covered the entire budget for “The New Year,” which debuts locally today at Gulf Breeze Cinema 4 in Gulf Breeze.
It has been screened at more than a dozen national film festivals, and won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Sarasota Film Festival in April — the first time the public saw the film.
“I didn’t even think it had a chance,” Haley said. “It was pretty overwhelming.”
Haley, who has been making movies since he was a preteen, said he also chose Pensacola to shoot his film because he knew he would receive support. Local actors worked for free. Establishments such as Cordova Lanes, the Fish House, Seville Quarter, Pensacola Beach and other local spots didn’t charge a fee for the use of their facilities. (more…)

 - Chicken tikka masala dish by Chef Jim Shirley at The Fish House. (Katie King / kking@pnj.com)
JIM SHIRLEY • CHEF/CO-OWNER • DECEMBER 15, 2010 • Courtesy of The Pensacola News Journal
We all have a few gems in our treasure of recipes. Here is one from my house. Chicken tikka masala is one of my favorite Indian-ish dishes, and one that you don’t have to worry about being true to the recipe — mainly because the only common ingredients in most recipes are chicken, yogurt and tomatoes. We make this at home in large batches and freeze half of it for later. “Later” for me is usually about midnight, when the siren song from the freezer overwhelms my need for rest. - read on for recipe.

Last August, we had our first-ever Restaurant Week featuring exciting menus from our three restaurants. It was so well received, and we had so much fun putting on the event, that we decided to do it again!
