Real Farm-to-table experiment ends in a 6 course...
This is a story about Splotch the pig and his journey into the culinary world - literally. It made me recall the year in my youth when some friends of the family asked if we wanted them to raise some chickens for us. The chicks were so cute. Little did I know that I would eventually be asked to help butcher the poor things. The whole thing just weirded me out. Perhaps that’s one of the...
My New Favorite Game Online - www.knoword.org I'm...
I was hopping around the Internet and discovered a cool site for word geeks like me - http://www.knoword.org. I see a new addiction in the making! This is actually a game that presents you with the definition of a word and the word’s first letter, then it’s up to you to fill in the rest of the word for points; the faster you go the better. You’ll be hooked soon :) ...

Hope you get the chance to check some of these out especially my two local favorites: Ethan Stowell’s New Italian Kitchen: Bold Cooking from...
Load Up Your Kitchen With More Stuff
There are a ton of great deals to be found right now! I strolled through a few stores in downtown Seattle and saw a ton of sales and discounts. This time of year is often an ideal time to stock up on kitchen gear and books. It does require some research and a little bit of being at the right place at the right time. Here are some ideas to get you started on what’s hot right now: ...
An Evening In With Top Pot
I have been craving Top Pot Doughnuts for at least a couple of weeks now. For those who are not from Seattle, Top Pot are some of the best doughnuts in town. At Top Pot you can pick up a Classic Old Fashioned, Apple Fritters and filled doughnuts among others. They offer more than 40 different types of doughnuts. I love going there on a crisp rainy weekend day to grab a doughnut an Ovaltine...

Start Your Own Food Quest!
Food quests are sweet! Just started reading through Mimi Sheraton’s The Bialy Eaters: The Story of a Bread and a Lost World. She travels to the Polish town of Bialystok to research the history of this traditional Jewish bread, the bialy. It was a food report trip for Conde Nast Traveler magazine set this research in motion. Mimi is really a pro at this kind of investigation having...
