Motherlode of Miner's Lettuce posted by Pat on February 28, 2007 @ 1:56 PM
It's February and my thoughts turn to the 49ers. Not the guys that throw pointy balls. The original ones, with the pick axes. The guys who gave us Miner's Lettuce. Or at least took that first nibble and lent...

Friday night I attended the coolest charity event, in fact I never miss it. Held at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk, Virginia, it's called "Empty Bowls" and benefits the hungry of Hampton Roads. The deal is that local potters...

Getting a Head in Fine Dining posted by Meryl on March 29, 2007 @ 11:42 AM
Sure I had ordered it. No one pressured me. Unlike many American diners the thought alone of eating pigeon doesn’t shake me. What does is attempting to dig into a little critter whose feet and claws are still attached,...

Pondering Pork And Ex-husbands posted by Tammy on April 2, 2007 @ 7:18 AM
At the risk of sounding like I watch way too much TV, I love the series "Sit Down Comedy" on TV Land. Here the biggest names in stand-up (Jerry Seinfield, Roseanne, Jon Stewart, Robin Williams) sit down with one...

Chicken Came First posted by Pat on May 18, 2007 @ 3:42 PM
Used to be that the subject of gas and corn was not considered appropriate for polite conversation. And while I can't claim the language is always polite, our clients in the protein industry (a/k/a chicken, beef, pork) have been discussing...

As I get ready for the Jewish New Year to begin, I've been doing a little thinking over some chicken liver. It's one of those foods, like prunes, that gets the shaft. But just like prunes (now more kindly known...

Pig Parts for Moderation posted by Meryl on October 14, 2008 @ 10:18 AM
Artisan breads and handcrafted beers have reached mainstream at most markets since appearing in the 90's. What's next? My guess is small batch Salumi. Salumi is the Italian word for cured meats and it's hitting metropolitan menus everywhere. Now,...

Perfect Way to Start the Day posted by Meryl on October 16, 2008 @ 8:33 AM
So I've just developed one of my career best recipes this morning. No joke. I know it's good because I can't stop eating it and neither will you. The best part is it involves two ingredients, it's healthy, takes...

Recipe Develo-wha? posted by Meryl on February 19, 2009 @ 11:05 AM
O.k., so I've never really had one of those jobs that people could define on their own. Doctor, lawyer, you know the type. Of all things though, saying you're a recipe developer really leaves people scratching their heads. It...

One of the reasons I love my job, is that I get to serve, taste, and use the products of our small but really nice client list. My recent favorite is the frozen, pourable, whole grains of Village Harvest...
