Risky Play: Why Children Love It and Need It Children love to play with great heights, rapid speeds, dangerous tools, dangerous elements (e.g. fire), chasing and fighting, and getting lost (or nearly so). Why has the drive for such play evolved? What happens when children are deprived of such play? How dangerous, really, is such play? How does the danger compare with the danger of adult-directed sports? http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/201404/risky-play-why-children-love-it-and-need-it

Why shallots? Shallots are used for dishes where you want a subtle, non-aggressive flavor (not sharp/overwhelming like onion) like in salad dressings, salads (raw), pan sauces, crisp-fried as garnish, shallot-butter. They keep well, and although will be more expensive than bulb onions, won’t be too pricey at ethnic markets. Buy loose at farmers’ markets or grow your own; each bulb planted is purported to produce at least 5 bulbs. From the market, try storing them in a lidded glass jar out of the sun. Also they’re a good source of antioxidant flavonoids, potassium, vitamin A and folate. Couscous with Lemon and Herbs. After sautéing minced shallots, add minced garlic/chicken broth/grated lemon zest, and bring to a boil. Stir in plain couscous (ww okay), let stand for 5 min, fold in minced fresh basil or parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, s&p. http://kellysaid.blogspot.com/2006/07/couscous-with-lemon-and-herbs-cooks.html Green Beans with Walnuts and Shallot Crisps. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/green-beans-with-walnuts-and-shallot-crisps/ Pork Tenderloin with Shallot Sauce. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-flavor-and-flavonoids-of-shallots Steamed Mussels with White Wine, Tarragon, Shallots, Butter, and Grilled French Bread.
