Snacks for Dinner

Sometimes we’re just not that hungry for dinner. That’s when a light plate is right. Fuji apples, Piller’s Old Forest salami, Jarlesberg and Gouda Parrano cheese, Pure Luck goat cheese and crackers.

Sweet Sassy Molassey

My friend and food mentor Tom Romig was in town this week. We had a nice lunch at Bess and covered the usual topics: how he taught me to cook, etc. Apparently, he has been scouring the European Continent and found the source of all things Balsamic. He even ponied up a bottle for the cause to prove his point. All of the sudden, I feel like my normal Balsamic has been lying to me.

The State of Water

I just saw a TV commercial advertising a bottled water product that boasts it is low-calorie. Water doesn’t have calories! I also read that bottled water is the fastest growing ‘specialty food group’. If that is true, how come I can’t get a glass of it that doesn’t taste like crap?

Flash Fried

Light, crunchy herbs from the garden. Quickly fried in a little oil. I use them as a garnish or for a pizza topping. If you get up to the Domain shopping center, check out the restaurant North. They have wonderful flash fried zuchinni chips.
