Basque Sheepherder's Bread
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 cups hot water
2 packages dry yeast
7 to 7 1/2 cups unbleached flour
In a very large bowl combine butter, sugar, salt and hot water. Stir only until butter is melted. Set aside so ingredients can cool until they are warm. Stir in yeast. Cover and set aside in a warm place until it bubbles, about 10 minutes.
Add 5 cups flour and beat vigorously with a large wooden spoon until batter is smooth. Add more flour (about 2 cups) to form a stiff dough. Knead, with long strokes, for about 10 minutes on a floured board. Add only enough flour to prevent sticking. Place dough in a large greased bowl; cover with a damp dish towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled — about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down and knead about 10 minutes. Form a smooth ball. Using a solid shortening, generously grease sides and inside lid of a cast iron Dutch oven. Cut a round of foil and place in the bottom of Dutch oven. Dust it lightly with flour. Place dough in Dutch oven and cover. Let rise in a warm place until dough pushes up lid.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place Dutch oven in middle of oven. Bake 12 minutes. Carefully loosen any raw edges with knife, then lift off lid. The lid's circled print should be on top of the loaf. Bake bread, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes more or until golden. Cover loosely with foil the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning. Remove from oven. Loosen loaf from Dutch oven with a flat table knife, and place on a wire rack to cool.

Victoria Frances (Red Basque) Art Poster Print - 16" X 20"View This Product at Amazon

This poster measures approx. 16" x 20" Victoria Frances is a Spanish illustrator, born in Valencia. She is a graduate of the Universidad de Bellas Artes in Spain. Her work is very goth-inspired: ghostly women in long dresses are perhaps the most common characters found in her art. Unsurprisingly, she cites her influences as Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice and H.P. Lovecraft. She also claims to have been influenced by the art of Luis Royo and Brom.

The Holly and the Ivy: Carols from Clare CollegeView This Product at Amazon
Initially released in 1979, this album built on the success of the legendary Carols for Choirs volumes in establishing John Rutter's name with the wider public, and it gave a strong hint that he was more than just a talented composer-arranger. As the many subsequent releases on the Collegium label have also shown, Rutter is a deeply sensitive and musical conductor, alive to the color of words, always allowing phrases to breathe naturally. The accomplished Clare College Choir features male and female voices, the latter providing a more rounded alternative to those world-famous neighbors in Cambridge. Included are many of Rutter's own easy-listening carol arrangements ("King Jesus Hath a Garden" and "Wexford Carol," for example), plus others by the likes of Vaughan Williams and David Willcocks, while "Donkey Carol" and "Mary's Lullaby" are quintessential Rutter originals. Only a few numbers can be classed (statistically) as all-time Christmas faves--the likes of "The Holly and the Ivy" and "Ding Dong Merrily on High"--but this needn't deter anyone from snapping up what is the perfect album to accompany Christmas pud mixing (preferably by candlelight, imagining the twilight scene in Ely Cathedral's Lady Chapel, whose glorious acoustic graces the sound). --Andrew Green
A Festival of Nine Lessons and CarolsView This Product at Amazon
This disc could be more succinctly titled Christmas for Anglophiles. Few sounds are more British than the boy soprano-dominated Choir of King's College in Cambridge. And the group is heard--in some sections recorded live--in an actual Christmastide service amid the generous reverberation of a cathedral acoustic with little more than a tasteful though austere organ accompaniment. The repertoire isn't just conservative, traditional hymns and carols. One is harmonized by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and there are a number of contributions by contemporary composers Thomas Adès, Judith Weir, and John Tavener, all of which are probing, sincere, even personal examples of their art (and some are daringly liberated, harmonically speaking). The downside for some listeners--at least on repeated hearings--is that the entire service is heard, sermons and all. Others may take this in the spirit of a Paul McCreesh liturgical reconstruction, with congregational singing included. --David Patrick Stearns

The Dominici AffairView This Product at Amazon
The 1952 slaying of a vacationing family in rural France sent shock waves through the country for years. The crime was dubbed "The Dominici Affair" after Gaston Dominici, the French peasant who was jailed for the death of the couple and their 10-year-old daughter. The brutal crime seized the imagination of controversial director Orson Welles, who explored the subject in a 26-minute film for British television. This 52-minute documentary presents Welles' unreleased film, which has been restored and completed according to the original script. It also incorporates newly discovered archival information and includes a return to the scene of the murders with the journalist who assisted Welles.

Basque Piparra PeppersView This Product at Amazon
Piparras are a sweet, long and thin, pepper from Navarra. Wonderful to compliment any dish of legumes or decorate any platter. Everyone who tries our Amanida brand olives & vegetable mixes are astonished with the flavor. The most common response is "Wow, I've never tasted an olive like these before!" Honestly, this was the same response we had when we discovered this brand in Spain.
Amanida's secret is that instead of curing the olives and immediately bottling with herbs as most producers do, they add in an extra step. To the brine they add in a little anchovy and beef stock. The flavor is so subtle that we couldn't even place the flavor until we were told! It sounds crazy, but adds a subtle richness that makes these the most flavorful olives you have ever tried.
Low sodium when compared to most domestic olives and pickles. Made with Spanish Olive Oil for an added richness.

Espelette Chilli Pepper AOC (1.41 Ounce) by igourmet.comView This Product at Amazon
The best seeds are planted in May. Superb flowers then bear fruits which ripen in the summer sun. Once they have been picked, the peppers are dried naturally, baked in the oven then ground down to obtain the powdered spice. A Basque navigator, who accompanied Christopher Columbus, imported the plants from South America, introducing them to the exceptional soil of Espelette in the Basque region of S.W. France. There it flourished in its new surroundings between the sea and the mountains as a result of knowledge handed down from generation to generation in just ten Basque villages. Rich in Vitamin C, this spice has antiseptic qualities, it stimulates appetite and helps digestion. AOC Protected
French Sheep Cheese Petit Basque 1 lb.View This Product at Amazon
Petit Basque - sheep's milk semi soft cheese. 1 lb/454 gr, France. This semi-soft sheep's milk cheese is handmade in the French Pyrenees. The Pyrenees Mountain range, a natural border that divides France and Spain, is populated by the Basques, a people who have their own customs and language. Although the Basques live on both sides of the border, they produce this French cheese on the French side. Amidst the breath taking, rolling mountains of the Pyrenees, vast pastures stretch as far as the eye can see, providing fertile grazing for milk-producing sheep. Petit Basque, made from pure sheep's milk, has a rather dry texture and an earthy, nutty flavor. It comes to us in a whole, uncut cylinder, offering a beautiful presentation as well as a lovely taste. Appropriate wines: Burgundy or medium bodied red.

Zach's LieView This Product at Amazon
Jack Osborne's life changes forever the night men in masks break into his house, threaten Jack and his family, and ransack their home. Jack then discovers the reason these men have come into their lives-his father has been arrested for drug trafficking. Jack, his mother, and his sister are then forced to enter the Witness Security Program. Jack becomes 'Zach' and moves to Elko, Nevada, a town in the middle of nowhere. There he meets Sam, the strangest school custodian he has ever encountered, and Catalin, a girl who might make Zach's uprooting worth the trouble. But just as Zach finally begins to piece together a new life, he finds himself in danger again-and this time his actions could determine the fates of everyone he cares about.
The Basque History of the World: The Story of a NationView This Product at Amazon
The buzz about the Guggenheim BilbĂŁo aside, the Basques seldom get good press--from the 12th-century Codex of Calixtus ("A Basque or Navarrese would do in a French man for a copper coin") to current news items about ETA, the Basque nationalist group. Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod, sets out to change all that in The Basque History of the World.
"The singular remarkable fact about the Basques is that they still exist," Kurlansky asserts. Without a defined country (other than Euskadi, otherwise known as "Basqueland"), with no known related ethnic groups, the Basques are an anomaly in Europe. What unites the Basques, above all, is their language--Euskera. According to ETA, "Euskera is the quintessence of Euskadi. So long as Euskera is alive, Euskadi will live." To help provide a complete picture of the Basques, Kurlansky looks at their political, economic, social, and even culinary history, from the valiant Basque underground in World War II to medieval whalers to modern makers of the gâteau Basque. The most affecting chapter focuses on Guernica, a small market town bombed by German planes for over three hours on April 26, 1937, and uses interviews with survivors to illustrate the horror of the attack.
Kurlansky is clearly enamored of the Basques, which leads him to see them in a uniformly positive light. That rosy outlook aside, The Basque History of the World is an excellent introduction to these romantic people. Are they the original Europeans? Kurlansky doesn't weigh in on the issue, preferring instead to honor the Basque request Garean gareana legez--let us be what we are. --Sunny Delaney
