Calvados Apple Brandy

When mixed with diet coke, I get an explosion of fermented apples.

Frittata

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/asparagus_frittata/

Sounds easy, will have to try it.

Restaurant Reviews

http://www.jsonline.com/features/dining/119412684.html

A straight chilled shot is excellent.

http://chicagobreakingbusiness.com/2011/03/anheuser-busch-inbev-to-take-over-goose-island.html

Also, disappointed to note that Dogfish Head beers will no longer be sold in Wisconsin.

http://www.rodale.com/how-poach?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-03242011-_-Top5-_-NA

Poached fish sounds interesting.

I will settle for that really good bourbon under $25 per bottle.

Sherry

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/22/AR2011032203202.html

Amontillado sherry reminds me of Poe for some strange reason.

Mark Bittman searches for silver linings.

Steaming

http://www.rodale.com/steamed-food?page=0%2C0&cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-03222011-_-Top5-_-NA

Interesting that steaming actually makes broccoli healthier.

And the combo method for fish is worth trying.

iCream

http://www.icreamcafe.com/

I saw them on the Food Network.

Amazing.

Ground Beef

http://www.rodale.com/organic-grass-fed-beef?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-03212011-_-Top5-_-NA

Another reason not to eat ground beef.

Slow-Roasted Salmon

Dips by Mark Bittman

The Minimalist

http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/the-minimalists-tips-for-perfect-steak/index.html

I watched The Minimalist on the Cooking Channel this morning.

Entertaining and educational.

Due to health concerns, I cannot eat steak like I once could, but I still enjoy learning about them.

Sudsier Beer

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/71338/title/A_bit_of_fiber_makes_for_sudsier_beer

A coherent explanation for what that mysterious plastic widget actually does.

This looks like a good recipe.

Clay Garlic Roaster

http://shoppinghevanet.com/kitchen/store-garlic-cooker.html

Here is something that I do not have in my kitchen.

Maybe I should get one.

School Lunch

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-healthy-school-lunch-man-20110317,0,4216235.story?page=1&track=rss

A truly inspirational story.

Chef Paul Boundas deserves praise.

This story proves, once again, that spending more money is not always the best answer.

What is always required is a commitment to improvement.

Beware Frankenfish

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/frankenfish-phobia/?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=thab1

Hard choices have to be made if we are going to eat salmon.

Nectar of Ireland

http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/food/newsletter/sns-food-drinks-irish-whiskey,0,7879868.story?track=ct-fooddrink-31711

I am skeptical that I will be able to find any local sources for out of the ordinary Irish whiskeys.

Cheap Food, or Lack Thereof

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/la-fi-cheap-food-20110317,0,4534500.story

McDonald's might have to raise prices on Big Macs.

Jakob's Pub

Oregano

http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/2011/03/16/20110316virginia-students-suspended-for-oregano.html?source=nletter-entertainment

They might start doing some Italian cooking.

I love guacamole.

Original Irish Coffee

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/follow-that-food/original-irish-coffee-recipe/index.html?nl=ROTD_031611_Feature1Text1

Alex Ott

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/16/dining/16bartender.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha210

I am not ready for the tobacco-infused honey.

Horseradish Beer Mustard

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/16/dining/16diy-recipes.html#view=horseradish_beer_mustard

This sounds interesting.

Could experiment with various beers to give it different flavors.

Radiation Risks

http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/headline_health/Radiation_Threat_US/2011/03/15/380329.html?s=al&promo_code=BDE5-1

Maybe I should start taking Ginkgo biloba and garlic supplements just in case.

Healthy Side Dishes

http://www.rodale.com/healthy-side-dishes?page=0%2C0&cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2011_03_15-_-Top5-_-NA

All of these side dishes sound good to me.

Note how they present potatoes as healthy because potatoes are a source of flavonoids and potassium.

Iodine

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-03-finns-iodine-blasts-japanese-nuclear.html

There was a run on iodine tablets, and I did not get any.

Maybe tomorrow.

Cincinnatti-Style Chili

http://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/beef/cincinnati-style-chili/

An interesting variation featuring allspice, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom.

White House Honey Ale

I would like to sample some of President Obama's homebrew.

http://www.rodale.com/celeriac-recipes?cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2011_03_14-_-Top5-_-NA

I have never eaten the classic French bistro dish featuring celeriac.

Roast Chicken

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/perfect-roast-chicken-recipe/index.html

I love roast chicken.

Roasting a chicken makes the whole house smell wonderful.

Soffritto, Battuto, Mirepoix

http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/04/how-to-make-battuto-italian-cooking-aromatics-carrots-celery-garlic.html

Maybe this is what I making instead of mirepoix.

Rutabaga and Apple Soup

http://www.jsonline.com/features/food/117548043.html

I love rutabagas.

I would be inclined to make this soup chunky rather than pureeing it.

Burger King vs. British Food

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/mar/13/burger-king-boss-insults-britain

Britain does have a reputation for poor food, but how could it be worse than Burger King?

And of course the gourmet British food is very good, as is the gourmet food in every other culture.

Bobby Flay

http://www.bobbyflay.com/

Bobby Flay Night on the Food Network tonight.

Bobby Flay Throwdowns, Bobby in Ireland, Bobby on Iron Chef America (he lost on cabbage).

He is one of my favorite chefs on The Food Network.

Another outstanding beer from Tyranena.

Excellent mouth feel and a definite taste of bourbon.

Excellent flavor and excellent mouth feel at an affordable price.

One of my favorite bourbons.

Red Beans and Rice with Elk Andouille

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/40-a-day/red-beans-and-rice-with-elk-andouille-recipe/index.html

This looks good.

Is elk andouille heart healthy?

Mirepoix

http://cooktj.com/how-make-mirepoix

I find myself using mirepoix more often lately.

It seems like an easy and healthy way to add flavor to various dishes.

Colcannon

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/colcannon/

Not only have I never eaten colcannon, I had never heard of it.

I like mashed potatoes and I like kale, so I might like colcannon.

Horny Goat Brewing Co.

http://hghideaway.com/

Good beer and good food.

Fun place to have lunch when the weather is nice because you can sit outside and enjoy the view on the river.

Milwaukee Area Fish Fries

http://www.jsonline.com/features/dining/117741088.html

A lot of interesting choices, and two of my favorite places are featured:

Bosch Tavern (Hales Corners)

Horny Goat Hideaway (on the Kinnickinnic River)

Heart Attack Grill

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/34092/video-heart-attack-grill-revisited/

I never got a chance to eat there.

Turkey Parmesan Meatballs

http://www.ehow.com/how_5080872_make-parmesan-meatballs.html

I made them.

They are OK, but nothing special.

Artisan Liqueurs

http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/food/newsletter/sns-newsletter-artisan-liqueurs,0,3760281.story?track=ct-fooddrink-31011

An acquired taste.

Mini Turkey Meat Loaves

http://www.landolakes.com/recipe/1242/mini-turkey-meat-loaves

Maybe I can modify the recipe to make meatballs.

Smoked Salmon Spread

http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2926

Sounds yummy.

40-pound Cookbook

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/dining/09modernist.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha210

Maybe the library will get a copy.

Luksusowa Potato Vodka

http://www.luksusowa.net/whyluks.htm

In spite of the flavor text on their web site, this vodka is merely adequate, and nothing special.

I make real food

http://lifeinanutshelll.tumblr.com/post/3693603487/duff-makes-cake-i-make-real-food-anne-burrell

One of the all time great quotes from one of my favorite Food Network chefs.

No substitutions

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/05/nyregion/05puritans.html

The customer is not always right.

Laird

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/04/dining/04lair.html?ref=apples

Distillers of applejack and apple brandy.

The oldest commercial distillery in the country.

Gourmands

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/dining/02Elder.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=dining

I envy the gourmands who are still going full speed ahead.

Pierpoint in Fells Point

http://www.pierpointrestaurant.com/

According to Duff "Ace of Cakes" Goldman, they have the best crab cakes in Baltimore.

Cabbage

http://www.squidoo.com/what-cabbage-can-do

I need to eat cabbage, but in moderation.

I love cole slaw.

And I love Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup.

Chef Emma Hearst

http://starchefs.com/cook/chefs/2010-new-york-rising-stars/chef-emma-hearst

I saw her on Iron Chef America.

Impressive.

The Minimalist

http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/mark-bittman/pasta-with-chicken-risotto-recipe/index.html

We watched the premiere episode of Mark Bittman's new TV series The Minimalist this morning.

It featured several interesting pasta recipes.

No mention of chop salad, vegetable stir fry, or beans & rice.

American Homebrewers Association

http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/

Zymurgy is the name of their magazine.

Parsnips

http://www.everynutrient.com/healthbenefitsofparsnips.html

They are delicious.

Roasted in a little olive oil, I can eat them with no added salt.

Cauliflower Refrigerator Pickles

http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2007/06/cauliflower-refrigerator-pickles.html

Maybe I could use this recipe as a template for making pickles with other kinds of vegetables.

River Valley Ranch and Kitchens

https://www.rivervalleykitchens.com/index.php

I have had their peach salsa and spicy dill pickled brussel sprouts.

Both are excellent.

Home Beer Making

http://homebeermaking.org/

I may never make my own, but I enjoy learning about it.

Valentine PNG

http://valentinecoffeeco.com/

Working on a bag of Valentine Papua New Guinea.

Excellent coffee but lacks the earthiness of a good Dark Sumatra.

How To Brew

http://www.howtobrew.com/

The text of the first edition of the book is available to read online.

Truffles

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/us/04truffles.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha23

Almost like a soap opera.

Gumbo

http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/food/newsletter/sns-newsletter-featrec-gumbo,0,7207273.story?page=1&track=ct-fooddrink-3311

I love gumbo.

Viola's Honey

http://www.jsonline.com/features/food/60058322.html

An article from 2009 but well worth reading again.

I love Viola's blackberry honey.

Eat More Berries

http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sc-health-0302-berries-health-effects20110302,0,3227397.story

I need to eat more strawberries as a source of dietary fiber.

Boston Beans

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_cooked_boston_baked_beans/

Looks like a great recipe but salt pork is not on my approved list.

Banana Cream Pie

http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/National_Symbols/American_Hollidays.html

Today is National Banana Cream Pie Day!

Americans are addicted to salt

http://www.rodale.com/salt-diet?page=0%2C1&cm_mmc=DailyNewsNL-_-2011_03_02-_-Top5-_-NA

I need to eat more of the following foods to offset the insidious effects of salt:

beet greens, spinach, yogurt, sweet potatoes, white beans, sardines, and bananas.

The Minimalist

http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/the-minimalist/index.html

Mark Bittman's TV series on The Cooking Channel.

Michigan Pasties

http://www.midwestliving.com/recipe/sandwiches/michigan-pasties/

One of my favorite foods.

The key is to include plenty of root vegetables like parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.

Anchovies

http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/recipes/recipe.html?_recordnum=25

I sure wish that Whole Foods was closer so that I could buy the Spanish white anchovies known as Boquerones.

Or maybe I can find some Italian marinated anchovies.

Vermin in food

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/70447/title/Smelling_a_rat_in_a_bag_of_chips

Beware litigious consumers and vengeful employees.

Gabrielle Hamilton

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/dining/02Hamilton.html?pagewanted=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha210

Blood, Bones & Butter is on my to-read list.

Virgin Coconut Oil

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/dining/02Appe.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha210

I am going to try it if I can find it.

Agricultural Subsidies

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/dont-end-agricultural-subsidies-fix-them/?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=thab1

Mark Bittman makes a lot of good points.

But for there to be any meaningful change, government would have to represent the best interests of the people.

And so I am greatly pessimistic.

If the changes he calls for actually happen, we could all eat better food.

Ouzo

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/01/AR2011030104855.html

I do not have any experience with ouzo, but I have always loved that horehound-anise-black licorice range of flavors.
