We continue with our second idea of what you can bring to the table this Thanksgiving with a healthier Chocolate that will package well as a gifting sauce this later holiday season surprising everyone with next year’s sweetener too!
We discussed earlier that Thanksgiving is more about what you can bring to the table and less about just one, silly day of thanks. Most of the foods you eat will be brown-centric in color, so let’s not only add to that to avoid shocking friends and family, but let’s also introduce to them what the surprise sweetener of next year might be! Oh yes.
Kojo gets reservedly spicy with two food pros about Cooking With Spice this Winter as the mercury dips. Spice isn’t heat and what spices help your health; learn a few tricks with spice from India and how to ‘introduce’ spice to scaredy-cats.
Wednesday, I picked up famed Food Newsie author Charles from Sibley hospital after he received some bionic implants that nearly guarantee a killer upcoming Travel section. On 88.5 WAMU, American University’s public radio station, Kojo Nnamdi left politics briefly to entertain with a segment called, “Cooking with Spice.” While the show moved pretty quickly unable to finely focus on just one spice or method, it was a great overview and the listeners rightly praised Kojo for putting the show together. If you missed it, don’t worry, we’re here to tell you how to turn back time and catch up! Enjoy!
A microsite sub domain to perhaps house numerous on-going workshops offered by many interesting writers, bloggers, artists and thinkers in and around Washington, D.C.
In the world of websites, it’s called a sub domain when a word appears before the domain name like your.domain.com or site.wordpress.com It’s not uncommon and it’s an easy, professional thing to set up. Responding to public outcry, we’ve made a microsite especially for workshops that need more space to explain themselves. Naturally, the first, is our own Know Your Camera Workshop offered every Saturday.
What snuck in under the radar is the on-going Dine Golden, Park Golden where 27 restaurants are offering various deals after 5PM from buy one, get one to complimentary desserts to the less golden, buy dinner get a drink. The offers include $5 parking on select days when hunting for spaces is maddening.
Through August 14th, you can dine in Washington D.C.s promotionally titled Golden Triangle taking advantage of a variety of offers both large and small and especially, $5 parking at select garages Thursday, Friday and Saaturday after 5PM. It’s potentially a tempting appetizer to D.C.‘s Restaurant Week.
Other Golden Triangles abound worldwide. There’s the one in Canada named for the point of a city, Golden; and also The Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia, one of Asia’s two largest producers of illicit Opium, and in the UK, R&D centers of Oxford, London and Cambridge make up the Golden Triangle Biocluster.
There’s lots more.
Ordering online ain’t what it used to be. For the sake of a snack and a recipe, I went as far as my keyboard and test drove a website grocer and a Texas-based ranch to see if there was any convenience to grocery shopping online. By George, if I wasn’t snacking within days!
Ordering online is totally worth the trouble because it’s no trouble at all. NetGrocer delivers groceries worldwide to troops overseas and college kids at school.
My shopping list consisted of two items that are both just about impossible to find locally: Holland’s Reese Rusk Toasts and antelope loin from a highly recommended ranch in Texas (the antelope stuff is another post). If you meet someone from Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway or Finland, say, “Holland Rusk.” It’s as good as speaking their language.
Yay Dads! After seeing The A-Team Movie, because you know you should, how about having your kids take you to the Lancaster County Dutch Market in Germantown, Maryland. I know there are some newer dads in the audience because I heart metrics. So take this really big hint on me. Your new squirt wants you to eat the good stuff.
This little unassuming piggy came from Pennsylvania. With no wolves present, it fared pretty well but could have used some wood chips in the smoke. Coleslaw is short-cut, juicy (try making slurping noises for the kids!), wildly flavorful and demands seconds.
The secret to good cooking has nothing to do with electricity. Or fashion. The Amish come down to Germantown, Maryland where they’ve learned to use money.
