Berries and Buttermilk Puddings
Courtesy epicurious.com
Yes, buttermilk is good for tender griddlecakes and baked goods, but as these delicate individual puddings show, its tangy flavor is not to be taken for granted. The sauce that tops the puddings begins with a red-wine syrup mulled with citrus and a bay leaf and then puréed with strawberries. A final scattering of mixed berries gives a down-home touch to something that is, at heart, wonderfully curious and complex.

From the desk of John C. Fox, President, Fox Automotive, Inc
We’re not used to all the “recall” buzz going on with our Toyota dealership right now. I can’t remember the last recall of any significance prior to this current situation. What seems to be compounding the frustration of this current recall is the lack of rock solid, verifiable information available to us as a dealership, and to you, a Toyota owner. Add in a HUGE dose of media, multiple safety campaigns involving separate components on several models, and the result is concern and confusion felt by everyone involved at every level.
While we don’t have all the answers to all your questions right now, we do have available all of the up to date information provided to us by Toyota, and would like the opportunity to share it with you. We will inspect your vehicle if it falls in any of the affected model and model year ranges. After the inspection, we will review the results with you, as well as any information that we have relative to your specific Toyota vehicle.
As we receive additional information from Toyota, we plan to continue to communicate with you electronically as we have now. We expect the flow of information from Toyota to increase dramatically over the next few days, so please check your email regularly. Also, please adjust your spam filters as necessary so our information can get through. We will also post any additional pertinent information that we acquire to our website for review at the following link : http://www.foxtoyota.com/MiscPage_8 .
Respectfully,
John C. Fox

On Sale: Early 2010
courtesy New Car Test Drive
 Chevrolet promises a world-beater with its compact 2011 Cruze sedan. By appearances, there's something to the hype.
The front-drive Chevrolet Cruze is expected to replace the Cobalt when it reaches U.S. showrooms in 2010. The Cruze will compete head-to-head with top-selling compacts like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus. It has the look of a solid contender.

NAIAS 2010 - New Compact Coupe Concept
courtesy Vortex.com
 A coupe concept is always something we like to see from Volkswagen, but this one is particularly important as it is the first semi-official showing of the next generation Jetta VI. Volkswagen is calling this concept the "New Compact Coupe" and if you've been following VW news lately, you have probably heard the next generation Jetta referred to as New Compact Sedan or NCS for short. So Volkswagen isn't doing much to hide the fact that this car is essentially a preview of the new Jetta VI.

Avatar
Courtesy cinemablend.com
Avatar isn't the future of movies; it's the past. Telling a story as old as Westerns and swashbucklers and epics and, hell, Greek mythology, it's a classical adventure story that happens to look very, very different from anything we've seen before. That revolutionary look is the reason people are rightly calling the movie a game-changer, but don't be fooled-- Avatar is as old-fashioned and romantic as Titanic, and thrillingly, just as wonderful to watch.
A rousing, play-it-to-the-rafters adventure story wrapped around a deep romance, Avatar is the exactly the James Cameron movie you would expect after 11 years in the making, a masterful combination of technology and the kind of storytelling that's made movies work since the beginning...

2010 Toyota RAV4
A leader among compact SUVs.
permission of New Car Test Drive
 The Toyota RAV4 offers seating for seven and cargo capacity comparable to mid-size SUVs in a compact package. It's quick, relatively easy to maneuver, and comes with a choice of front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Among the best of the compact SUVs, the RAV4 excels at convenience and ease of use. Getting in and out of the driver's seat is easy. It can move lots of people or lots of gear on a moment's notice. And it comes standard with a long list of safety equipment. We prefer the five-passenger configuration.
