Avalon Mayor Martin Pagliughi presented an official proclamation to Maggie’s Restaurant, located at 2619 Dune Drive in Avalon.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Maggie’s Restaurant is one of the reasons why Avalon is a great place to live, and a great place to vacation,” Pagliughi said. “For 20 years, Maggie’s has been the first choice for countless families who want to enjoy great food in a friendly atmosphere.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Maggie’s Restaurant was established by Marge and Dan Szarek (standing in photo next to the mayor on the left), and is well known on the Seven Mile Beach for homemade turkey, numerous breakfast choices, and catering. Maggie’s is also known for its selection of “No Whining” shirts that are worn by employees.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The proclamation reads in part:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Marge and Dan’s restaurant has always been available for civic activities, church functions and Borough events, demonstrating their community dedication. Maggie and her staff always welcome customers with a warm smile and Maggie herself takes a very real interest in her patrons with sincerity and kindness….I, Martin L. Pagliughi, Mayor of Avalon, do hereby deem it an honor to extend my personal congratulations to Marge and Dan Szarek, owners of Maggie’s Restaurant for their 20 years of hard work and devotion as members of the business community in the Borough of Avalon.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:695e3096-2719-4548-9e95-3905716784f8" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Maggie's+Restaurant+Avalon" rel="tag"&gt;Maggie's Restaurant Avalon&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Avalon" rel="tag"&gt;Avalon&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Jersey+Shore+food+blog" rel="tag"&gt;Jersey Shore food blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2010/02/11/maggiersquos-restaurant-recognized-for-20th-anniversary.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">397bb22e-04f3-44e8-94e2-1f4f7864b8e9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:57:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Seasonal Restaurant for lease at Cold Spring Village</title><link>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2010/02/05/seasonal-restaurant-for-lease-at-cold-spring-village.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Rob Seitzinger Dining News</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/images/47634-47840/The%20Old%20Grange%20Restaurant%20at%20Historic%20Cold%20Spring%20Village1%20(2)_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="The Old Grange Restaurant at Historic Cold Spring Village1 (2)" border="0" alt="The Old Grange Restaurant at Historic Cold Spring Village1 (2)" src="http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/images/47634-47840/The%20Old%20Grange%20Restaurant%20at%20Historic%20Cold%20Spring%20Village1%20(2)_thumb.jpg" width="184" height="244" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The Old Grange Restaurant, located at Historic Cold Spring Village in the Cold Spring section of Lower Township, began its life in the late 1800s as Cold Spring Grange #132 with a charter membership of 32. Also known as the Patrons of Husbandry, the Grange is America’s oldest farm organization and the only rural fraternity in the world. The building, c.1897, was constructed at an approximate cost of $6,000. On the 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; anniversary of its dedication, the mortgage was said to have been burned at a special meeting. During the early 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century, the Old Grange was the focus of many Township of Lower activities, serving as a school, voting site and meeting hall is addition to supporting projects and programs relating to the Grange Association.  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;By 1970, Cold Spring Grange #132 was no longer able to maintain a membership base to support the organization. In 1973 it became the first building in the complex later known as Historic Cold Spring Village, the 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century open-air living history museum located adjacent to the Grange. Since 1981, visitors to the Village have enjoyed the grand meals offered by the “Old Grange” Restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Historic Cold Spring Village in Cape May is seeking a tenant to run the restaurant for the 2010 season. The Grange is on the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places. The restaurant comes with a fully equipped kitchen and dining room. There are 102 seats downstairs with additional seating on the porch and seating for 70 upstairs. The restaurant also includes air conditioning and natural gas heat, on-site free parking and a food stand inside Historic Cold Spring Village.

I’m going to do these, the sweet and sour meatballs chef Mark Kalla taught us how to make at his cooking class at the library and, of course, some chicken wings.&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Olive Garden Hot Artichoke Dip&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is a favorite dip at the Olive Garden, this creamy dip features a variety of cheeses, artichokes, spinach and so much more.&amp;#160; Well, after so many requests for this one, I had to go ahead and try this stuff for myself. Quite honestly, this was as wonderful as so many of ya’ll requested. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;1 (8 oz.) pkg. Light Cream Cheese ( I like the texture better, regular is fine)   &lt;br /&gt;1 can 14 oz. Progresso Artichoke Hearts, drained, coarsely chopped    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 C. Spinach frozen chopped, or steamed    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 C. Mayonnaise (do not use Miracle Whip)    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 C. Parmesan Cheese    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 C. Romano Cheese (You can use all Parmesan)    &lt;br /&gt;1 clove garlic, finely minced    &lt;br /&gt;1/2 tsp. Basil (dry 1 Tbsp. Basil Fresh)    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 C. Mozzarella Cheese grated    &lt;br /&gt;1/4 tsp. Garlic Salt    &lt;br /&gt;Salt and Pepper to taste&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together mayonnaise, Parmesan, Romano cheese, garlic, basil, and garlic salt. Mix well. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach (careful to drain this well), and mix until blended. Store in a container until you are ready to use. Spray pie pan with Pam, pour in dip, and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is browned. Serve with toasted bread.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cheddar Bacon Dip&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;1 round loaf (1 pound) sourdough bread &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;3/4 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;1/2 cup chopped green onions &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Assorted crackers &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Directions&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Cut the top fourth off the loaf of bread; carefully hollow out the bottom, leaving a 1-in. shell. Cut the removed bread and top of loaf into cubes; set aside. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese and Worcestershire sauce until blended; stir in bacon and onions. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Spoon into bread shell. Wrap in a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 24 in. x 17 in.). Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until heated through. Serve with crackers and reserved bread cubes.&lt;b&gt; Yield: &lt;/b&gt;4 cups. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline;

celebrates Valentine's Day and the month of February with two sweet treats: the Midnight Truffle &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; Treat as the featured &lt;i&gt;Blizzard &lt;/i&gt;of the Month and signature heart shaped &lt;i&gt;DQ&lt;/i&gt; cakes. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Available at all &lt;i&gt;Dairy Queen&lt;/i&gt; locations nationwide throughout February, the Midnight Truffle &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; Treat is a flavorful mix of decadent chocolate truffle pieces blended with rich, dark cocoa fudge and creamy vanilla &lt;i&gt;DQ &lt;/i&gt;soft serve.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;During February, &lt;i&gt;Dairy Queen&lt;/i&gt; also offers custom heart-shaped cakes made with a layer of luscious chocolate soft serve topped with crunchy chocolate cookie pieces and then layered with vanilla soft serve and decorated with creamy icing. The Midnight Truffle &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; can be custom made into a cake as an added Valentine's treat.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Midnight Truffle has become one of our most popular &lt;i&gt;Blizzard &lt;/i&gt;flavors, particularly in celebration of the most romantic month of the year,&amp;quot; said Michael Keller, chief brand officer for International Dairy Queen, Inc. &amp;quot;The &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; is the gold standard in frozen treats and we continually take it to the next level with flavors such as Midnight Truffle.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dairy Queen&lt;/i&gt; began blending simple combinations of candies, cookies, fruits, nuts and &lt;i&gt;DQ &lt;/i&gt;soft serve in 1985, to create the signature &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; Flavor Treat. Since then, one-of-a-kind flavors such as Strawberry &lt;i&gt;CheeseQuake&lt;/i&gt;, Brownie Batter, Turtle &lt;i&gt;Oreo&lt;/i&gt;, Banana Cream Pie and Double Fudge Cookie Dough have delighted &lt;i&gt;Dairy Queen&lt;/i&gt; fans as featured &lt;i&gt;Blizzards&lt;/i&gt; of the Month, a program that began in 2003.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The incredible popularity of the &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; brand is what led &lt;i&gt;Dairy Queen &lt;/i&gt;to initiate the &lt;i&gt;Blizzard&lt;/i&gt; Fan Club in 2005. Today the Fan Club has 2.2 million members.

Ironically, the restaurant in Rio Grande also opened in what was an old Wendy’s. Because of the huge success of Momiji, I was told that “he said the decisive factor was that the Rio Grande place is so successful, competitors were about to move in, and why not do it himself?” This information came through on Christmas Eve. The Rio Grande opening was delayed, in part, because code officials had never dealt with this type of restaurant, so the opening of the Court House restaurant – and I haven’t been told a target date – should go a little smoother. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There was talk of a Mexican or Tex-Mex place moving in, with some people even saying (more like hoping) that it was going to be the Chipotle chain. I’ll keep you posted as I hear more. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:e5ef7b6e-07c2-4358-8d4a-8e6c9b24e262" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Chipotle" rel="tag"&gt;Chipotle&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Momiji" rel="tag"&gt;Momiji&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Cape+May+Court+House" rel="tag"&gt;Cape May Court House&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Rio+Grande" rel="tag"&gt;Rio Grande&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/hibachi" rel="tag"&gt;hibachi&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Jersey+Shore+restaurant+blog" rel="tag"&gt;Jersey Shore restaurant blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/27/court-house-wendyrsquos-to-become-hibachi-restaurant.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">3665130d-e2ea-4d19-b9fc-b60c19a94c4f</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:04:02 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>That&amp;rsquo;s a real man&amp;rsquo;s grill!</title><link>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/21/that-a-real-manrsquos-grill.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Rob Seitzinger Dining News</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;A buddy of mine who loves to grill sent me this, thought I’d share it with you.

Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:    &lt;br /&gt; Routine...    &lt;br /&gt;(1) The woman buys the food.    &lt;br /&gt;(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.    &lt;br /&gt;(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.    &lt;br /&gt;(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.    &lt;br /&gt;Here comes the important part:    &lt;br /&gt;(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.    &lt;br /&gt; More routine...    &lt;br /&gt;(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.    &lt;br /&gt;(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat    &lt;br /&gt; Important again:    &lt;br /&gt;(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.    &lt;br /&gt; More routine...    &lt;br /&gt;(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.    &lt;br /&gt;(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.    &lt;br /&gt; And most important of all:    &lt;br /&gt;(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.    &lt;br /&gt;(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ' and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.    &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160; And that’s when the fight started!&lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/21/that-a-real-manrsquos-grill.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">179db1cf-12a2-4154-a2da-20024e1444e3</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:46:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Love the Cook closing in Stone Harbor</title><link>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/17/love-the-cook-closing-in-stone-harbor.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Rob Seitzinger Dining News</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Love the Cook, a retail shop that sells anything a cook might be interested in – from utensils to gourmet sauces to cookbooks to cookware – is closing its 96th Street location in Stone Harbor next week and won’t be coming back.

It has been dark for the past couple weeks and a sales rep has told me they shut down. When they first opened about six months ago they were the talk of the area. We have pizza just about every Friday at my house and we quickly became regulars there. Then one day, the employees were different, the service got pretty bad, and the quality of the food went downhill fast. We ordered a pizza and a panzarotti one day and the cheese on the pizza was different, they used to make them thin and crispy and this was thin and soggy, and speaking of soggy, if you lifted up the panzarotti from one end the grease and oil was literally dripping off it. We never ordered from them again. &lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/02/gourmet-italian-market-has-closed-its-doors.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">9c38dc9a-1a1a-40c6-a027-4ffef32d4ca7</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:20:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Thanksgiving by Ronco</title><link>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/02/thanksgiving-by-ronco.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Rob Seitzinger Dining News</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you read this blog, then you’re pretty much a foodie, and that means you probably like kitchen gadgets like I do. Of all the gadgets I have (and I have many!), one of the best I ever bought was the rotisserie oven by Ronco. You’ve seen the commercials over the years, I’m sure, but there is no better way to cook a chicken or turkey than this oven. I’ve tried smoking turkey, roasting turkey…I’ve never fried turkey but I did taste one at a food show and it was very good, but I wouldn’t want to deal with all that oil and the fire hazard for once a year. But we use the rotisserie oven about 10-12 times a year for chicken and a couple turkeys. You know the catch phrase, set it and forget it? So true. We cooked a 12-pound turkey on Thanksgiving in a little more than two hours and it always comes out beautifully. Moist inside and a crispy skin on the outside. No basting (it bastes itself while on the spit), no fuss, no mess. If you’ve been on the fence about buying one for yourself or someone for else for Christmas, I can’t recommend it more. The commercials show all kinds of other food being cooked in it, and we’ve tried other things with various degrees of success, but for a whole chicken or turkey, this oven is perfect. I’ve had mine for more than a decade and it just keeps on going like the Energizer bunny! Happy holidays!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:2054ef51-802f-46be-b29f-e466d47b25f1" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ronco" rel="tag"&gt;Ronco&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/rotiesserie+oven" rel="tag"&gt;rotiesserie oven&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Christmas+gifts+for+foodies" rel="tag"&gt;Christmas gifts for foodies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/12/02/thanksgiving-by-ronco.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">44f949c3-3668-4b35-a58f-026a68b0bf57</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:27:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>A Blizzard is in the forecast</title><link>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/11/23/a-blizzard-is-in-the-forecast.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Rob Seitzinger Dining News</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/images/47634-47840/blizzard.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="blizzard" border="0" alt="blizzard" src="http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/images/47634-47840/blizzard_thumb.png" width="148" height="196" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Just in time for the holidays, Dairy Queen brings back its seasonally inspired peppermint Blizzard Flavor Treat, with a cool new name.&amp;#160; Candy Cane Chill is the Blizzard of the Month for December.    &lt;br /&gt;A classic combination of peppermint candy cane pieces and rich chocolate chunks mixed with creamy DQ soft serve, Candy Cane Chill is available at all participating Dairy Queen and DQ Grill &amp;amp; Chill restaurants nationwide beginning Dec. 1.    &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Candy canes are symbolic of the holidays and the flavor profile of mint with chocolate makes Candy Cane Chill a seasonal favorite,&amp;quot; said Michael Keller, chief brand officer for International Dairy Queen.&amp;#160; &amp;quot;We hope all of our Blizzard fans will share holiday smiles and stories with us during this festive time.&amp;quot;    &lt;br /&gt;The origin of the candy cane dates back more than 350 years, when candy-makers both professional and amateur began making hard sugar sticks. The original candy was straight and completely white in color, but evolved into the &amp;quot;cane&amp;quot; shape to represent a shepherd's crook.&amp;#160; Today, candy canes come in a variety of flavors and colors.    &lt;br /&gt;In 1985, Dairy Queen began blending simple combinations of candies, cookies, fruit and nuts with DQ soft serve to create the signature Blizzard Flavor Treat.&amp;#160; Since then, one-of-a-kind flavors such as Midnight Truffle, Turtle Oreo, Caramel Waffle Crisp, Brownie Batter, Chocolate Xtreme and Strawberry CheeseQuake have become Blizzards of the Month, a promotion that began in 2003.    &lt;br /&gt;The average retail price of the Candy Cane Chill Blizzard is $3.09 for the 12 oz., $3.49 for the 16 oz. and $3.99 for the 21 oz.&amp;#160; Many Blizzard flavors, including Candy Cane Chill, can be made into cakes, perfect for holiday parties and celebrating birthdays.&amp;#160; The average price of a Blizzard cake is $21.49 for the eight-inch and $23.69 for the 10-inch.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;For more information about Dairy Queen, visit &lt;a href="http://www.DairyQueen.com"&gt;www.DairyQueen.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:57e11e12-9bf9-44fa-a4a1-cfb00b1d2da2" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Dairy+Queen" rel="tag"&gt;Dairy Queen&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Dairy+Queen+Blizzards" rel="tag"&gt;Dairy Queen Blizzards&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://cuisineblog.shorenewsnow.com/2009/11/23/a-blizzard-is-in-the-forecast.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">bdff588f-a59b-48f0-86a2-0c5c540eb448</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:47:51 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
