One Bake, Two Ways is an intriguing cookbook featuring Great British Baking Show finalist Ruby Bhogal’s flexible approach to baking. Every recipe is presented in two versions—a traditional version and a plant-based alternative version. It is delightful to page though this cookbook! The cake, bread, doughnut, cookie, pie, and tart recipes are all illustrated with gorgeous color photographs. In addition to the general recipe section, various sections are dedicated to sauce, curd, coulis, compote, jam, and icing recipes. First, a warning! If you don’t have vanilla bean paste or self-rising flour stocked in your pantry, you must order them before attempting to bake any of these recipes. Vanilla bean paste and self-rising flour usage is ubiquitous throughout this cookbook.

After spending almost a year writing and recording, Saving Abel is back on the radar. The grungy Southern rock band with the pure as Mississippi mud persona is promoting the release of its third album - an eclectic musical stew with a hooky title track underdog anthem - “Bringing Down The Giant.” At the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, leg of the band’s tour, Saving Abel’s co-founder Jason Null, had just completed an early evening jog before calling in to report, “things couldn’t be better” at eOne Music, the record label Saving Abel had jumped to after departing from Virgin earlier this year. I asked Null to rewind back to his earlier years growing up in a rural Bible Belt community in Mississippi. Where did he find the inspiration to become Jason Null, musician?

I recently got to try Flashback’s new and improved V2 update with added cable transfer, Digicam Mode for instant viewing, an improved sensor, and new designs.

Gallup Clinic boosts specialty care access in the Four Corners The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center opened a multi-specialty medical clinic at 205 E. Nizhoni Ave. last March. The clinic, which serves both adult and pediatric patients, provides specialty care services such as gynecology oncology, maternal fetal medicine, women’s ultrasound, dermatology, pediatric cardiology, urogynecology, vascular, and genetic testing, and counseling services.
