Living in the Kitchen with Puppies Reviews Yogurt Bible

I love it when I stumble upon something totally unrelated to the topic I am researching- not so great when I spend (waste) the next 3 hours in dreamland, but that is not my point here.

Thank you, Natashya KitchenPuppies!

Ever noticed that some people's last names reflect their passion? Wonder where the Kitchenpuppies originated from? ; )

Once again the stops were pulled and the corks flew as we nibbled our way across SanFrancisco for the second Foodbuzz Festival.

Hudson Valley Garlic Festival

My Garlic Cup Runneth Over

Just back from my fourth year as a speaker at the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival and still stinking! I'm loaded with fresh garlic. Probably enough to get me through to January, when I will have to beg organic garlic from one of the several Canadian organic growers near where I live.

The fabulous garlic pictured at the left is Spanish Roja, grown on Free Bird Farm at 497 McKinley Road, Palatine Bridge, NY, 13428, USA. Their booth at the festival, shown on the right, was overwhelmed with eager garlic enthusiasts.

Spanish Roja is a hardneck garlic in the Purple Stripe category.
