Popular food blogger Elana Amsterdam will present her new book, The Gluten-free Almond Flour Cookbook.  In the book, she offers ninety-nine family-friendly classics--from Pancake to Eggplant Parmesan to Chocolate Cake--that feature her gluten-free ingredient of choice, almond flour. Among them are choices for a quick breakfast treat, a comfort food entree, or a showstopping dessert. Because these recipes are low glycemic, low in cholesterol and dairy, and high in protein and fiber, they are also ideal for people with diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. About these recipes, cookbook expert Deborah Madison says, "they are truly wholesome and delicious."

So whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast treat, a comfort food entrée, or a showstopping dessert, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook proves that gluten-free cooking can mean healthy eating for everyone.

Elana Amsterdam developed these recipes when she and her son were both diagnosed with celiac disease. She lives with her family in Boulder, Colorado. Her parents, Ezra and Beulah Amsterdam, are residents of Davis.

Forty-one years after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, we seek clean
energy sources, a healthy environment, and a peaceful world. Achieving
these goals will require implementing new approaches. "Business as
usual" is no longer acceptable. Energy and resources are limited on the
Earth and acquiring them adversely impacts the environment. Conserving
and improving efficiency of energy and resource use, performing tasks
more efficiently, and transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable
energy sources are all important. These actions may not be sufficient,
however, especially when considering the global demand. In space, energy
and resources are present in abundance and can be acquired without
damaging ecosystems. By including space activities in our efforts to
achieve these goals, we can attain benefits that other answers alone
cannot provide, while protecting the Earth's environment. In this way we
can have a secure, sustainable future with abundant energy, resources,
and opportunities for all to have more fulfilling lives. We will soon
have the ability to utilize the opportunities of space, what we need is a
clear vision of what could be achieved and the determination to reach
for the vision.

Please join us as local Sacramento author Tim Comstock presents his latest book, Reunion in Carmel.

Carmel is rocked by a series of burutal murders. The locals are overwhelmbed by a cunning killer and their own bizarre politics. As he struggles to hunt down a man who hides in shadows, Chief Will Kempton must call on skill long untested to save himself, his family and the village he has come to love. The trail twists as the hunter becomes the hunted and the crimes escalate. The clash of the peaceful tourist enclave and the evil of the killer is a perfect backdrop for a story of confrontations.

Tim Comstock has published three books and many articles in a variety of magazines, including Sports Illustrated. His listening skills as a university dean of students gave him a keen ear for truth and good intentions. He uses that talent to fuel the realistic dialogue for a memorable cast of characters in pursuit of a deadly killer. The author splits time between Carmel and Saramento and is now working on a series of Sherlock Holmes adventures.
