you too

Only a very small handful of my friends will abide long debates about varietal olive oils.  My favorite varietal is made from Frantoio olives. Frantoio olives are widely used in Tuscan olive oils–peppery and bitter and pungent and a bit grassy.  Just a few of my food freaky friends will stick around for these debates because we are peas in a pod.  This next Call is for peas of the painting pod.  Take a look…

VEGETABLE?

I spent a little time in Mexico a couple of years ago and fell in love with the chayote.  I haven’t been able to find this veggies since my return.  It is sometimes call the “pear squash” and is used like a summer squash.  It was fantastically light and fresh.

EGGHEAD

I’ve been teaching my son to cook.  Well, I’ve been teaching my son to make food–that’s more accurate.  He loves egg salad.  So, we’ve begun with how to boil an egg and the importance of paprika.  You’d be amazed at how often those two, simple factors can ruin egg salad.  Just because they are easy or comfortable doesn’t make them less challenging in their own way.  This next Call is from one of my favorite organizations, and it is easy to enter. But, it is an opportunity not to be overlooked…
