25 March 1911 - TRIANGLE SHIRTWAIST FACTORY FIRE CONFLAGRATION: Occurred
on the evening of March 25, 1911, in a New York City sweatshop, touching
off a national movement in the United States for safer working conditions.
The fire—likely sparked by a discarded cigarette—started on the eighth
floor of the Asch Building, 23–29 Washington Place, just east of
Washington Square Park. That floor and the two floors above were
occupied by the Triangle Waist Company, a manufacturer of women’s
shirtwaists (blouses) that employed approximately 500 people. The
flames, fed by copious cotton and paper waste, quickly spread upward
to the top two floors of the building. Fire truck ladders were only
able to reach six stories, and the building’s overloaded fire escape
collapsed. Many workers, trapped by doors that had been locked to
prevent theft, leapt from windows to their deaths.
The Asch Building (later called the Brown Building) became a national
landmark in 1991.

Title: Victor Scargle's Mushroom & Goat Cheese Phyllo Triangles
Categories: Pastry, Apprtisers, Cheese, Mushrooms
Yield: 32 Servings
1 lb Portobello mushrooms
4 oz + 4 tb unsalted butter;
- melted
1 md Shallot; minced
1/2 lb White button mushrooms;
- stemmed, caps sliced 1/4"
Salt & freshly ground pepper
2 cl Garlic; minced
1/4 c Coarse chopped flat-leaf
- parsley
2 ts Fine chopped thyme
1/2 c Fresh mild goat cheese
8 Sheets of phyllo dough;
- thawed
Stem the Portobellos and cut the caps in half. Using a
sharp paring knife, cut off the black gills from the
undersides of the caps. Slice the caps crosswise
1/4-inch thick.
Melt the stick of butter in a large skillet. Add the
shallot and cook over low heat until softened, about 4
minutes. Stir in the Portobello and white button
mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook over
moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the
mushrooms are tender and their liquid has evaporated,
about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, parsley and thyme
and cook for 2 minutes longer, stirring. Transfer the
mushroom mixture to a food processor and pulse to a
coarse puree. Scrape the puree into a medium bowl, stir
in the goat cheese and season with salt and pepper. Let
cool.
Set the oven to 400ºF/205ºC.
Lay 1 sheet of the phyllo dough on a work surface; keep
the rest covered with damp paper towels. Brush the
phyllo sheet with melted butter and cut it lengthwise
into 4 even strips. Place 1 level tablespoon of the
mushroom filling in a corner of one of the strips, about
1/2 inch from the top. Fold the corner down to form a
triangle. Continue folding the triangle onto itself,
across and down, until you have a neat phyllo triangle.
Set the triangle on a large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat
with the remaining phyllo, melted butter and mushroom
filling. Brush the triangles with melted butter and bake
for about 20 minutes, or until browned and crisp. Let
cool slightly before serving.
