The old saying "They are dropping like flies" is appropriate for this week's episode. I think that saying is a misnomer, however, because I've been trying to kill a fly for three weeks now - and it keeps coming back to haunt me. I think I got him and then just like Michael Myers in the Halloween movies - boom… read more
Apple cider season is here
October 4, 2024 by Darcie
While the weather here has been suggesting that summer doesn't want to let go, it finally relented this week with chilly evenings and crisp, sunny days. That means it is time to hit up the local orchards in search of tasty apples. I am fortunate to live in an area where many of the best-loved varieties in the US were… read more

A simple, classic dish makes a comeback
October 2, 2024 by Darcie
Saveur Magazine has rarely let me down since I first started reading it in 2009, so when I spied an article about oeufs mayonnaise being the "it" dish of 2024, I had to click on it even though this is the first time the alleged hyper-trending dish has come to my attention. Maybe I'm just not getting out enough, but… read more

The International Longshoremen's Association walked off the job at 36 ports from Maine to Texas at midnight Tuesday, the first such strike in almost 50 years. The strike comes as workers were protesting wages and the threat of automation, among other issues. The walkout will affect a wide swath of commodities ranging from shoes to auto parts to food and… read more

Food news antipasto
September 30, 2024 by Darcie
Does it feel like you've been seeing more food cross-branding partnerships lately? It's not your imagination, food companies are doing collaborations in increasing numbers. One of the latest was Coca-Cola Oreos paired with Oreo-flavored Coke Zero. This follows on the heels of things like Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream and Dr. Pepper Peeps. Are consumers demanding these pop-culture mashups? Eater's… read more
The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 1 – Cake 2024
September 28, 2024 by Jenny
The bakers are back in the tent and once again the opening segment had my tired eyes rolling a bit. Barbie themed it was and a bit over-the-top. I had to chuckle when the American baker, Jeff, said, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you win." There is that American sportsmanship. Ironically, the tent was… read more

Art in (and of) the kitchen
September 25, 2024 by Darcie
Visit any art museum and you will find food depicted in a large number of the paintings on display. There are many reasons painters choose the subjects of food and dining: food contains a lot of symbolism, and as Anne Ewbank points out in a recent Gastro Obscura article, food paintings "also were a way for artists to flex their… read more
Have a glut of produce? There’s a batch for that
September 24, 2024 by Darcie
Gardeners know this scenario all too well: one day you are admiring the massive quantities of vegetables ripening on the vine, and the next day you are cursing the massive quantities of vegetables ripening on the vine. The best way to deal with this abundance? Make items in large batches that you can freeze or preserve. The Guardian offers a… read more

Bananas are in an existential crisis
September 21, 2024 by Darcie
Bananas are the most popular fruit in the world. It's easy to why, as they are inexpensive, extremely portable, make great additions to breakfast cereal and oatmeal, and even when they are overripe they can still be used in quick breads or popped into the freezer to be used in smoothies. As a testament to their popularity, the EYB Library… read more

Tupperware files for bankruptcy
September 20, 2024 by Darcie
Tupperware, the plastic storage container company that once dominated the market, recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. With the proliferation of cheaper, and frankly better, storage options, it's a wonder the 70-year-old company made it this far before entering bankruptcy. Its sales model, once an innovative concept that empowered millions of women to earn money outside of the home,… read more

September 18, 2024 by Darcie
Cute food is nothing new - bloggers have been making adorable cake pops, cookies, and other sweet items for years. Kim-Joy's cute animal-themed bakes led her to the finals on GBBO. But until recently, cuteness was limited to desserts, sweets, and possibly snacks. However, creating cute savory foods is taking off, explains Elyse Inamine, writing for Taste. Macarons from Baking… read more

The case of the disappearing ingredients
September 17, 2024 by Darcie
A recent Forum topic started by Member Indio32 caught my attention because it confirmed something that I have been noticing in my local supermarket. The issue is that some ingredients - mainly more traditional or 'old-fashioned' items - seem to be disappearing from grocery store shelves. The issue raised is broader than just one country as people from Australia, the… read more
