Bagel Scoops

I found this article by Cari Marteens about customers scooping out the inside of the bagels interesting. Here’s the scoop on the latest breakfast food trend originating from New York, home of the bagel. Ordering your bagel “scooped out” has become the thing to do. New Yorkers who are counting carbs, calories or both, but just can’t give up their morning bagel and schmear are requesting that the soft guts of their bagels be professionally removed, according to a story by Annie Karni and Joseph Goldstein in the New York Post. After the scooping, all that’s left of the thing is the “crusty carcass” as Karni and Goldstein put it. They quote Joel Baruch, owner of Gotta Get a Bagel on Long Island who fumes, “They’re making me nuts with the scooping!” Baruch says 90 percent of his customers now order their bagels this way. But these waistline watchers may be kidding themselves if they think they’re really sparing themselves from that many calories or carbs. Nutritionist Marissa Lippert told the Post reporters that scooping out the innards saves at the most around 75 calories. Yeah, and what do they do with the scooped out stuff? Feed it to the New York pigeons, maybe? Let us know if see any bagel scooping going on in your town.

If you grow your own garlic or have a good farmer’s market, then you can enjoy a new kind of vegetable — garlic scapes. The scapes are the flower stems that garlic plants produce before the bulbs mature. Growers often remove the scapes to push the plant’s energy toward bigger bulbs, and when harvested while they are young and tender, the scapes are delicious.

Here is something we needed and could not find it is usually only found in cans in the USA. Jackfruit is a relative of breadfruit and fig and can weigh up to 100 pounds. Spiny and oval or oblong-shaped, the tropical Jackfruit grows in parts of Africa, Brazil and Southeast Asia. When green, both its flesh and edible seeds are included in curried dishes. Ripe Jackfruit has a bland, sweet flavor and is generally used for desserts.

Also called Danish blue cheese , this rich cow’s-milk cheese is milder and less complex than Roquefort, but has a zest all its own. Known as one of the world’s best blues, the versatile, semisoft Danablu can be sliced, spread and crumbled with equal ease. It’s excellent with fruit, dark breads and red wines.

Risotto

Madeline — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:18:28 +0000

An Italian rice specialty made by stirring hot stock into a mixture of rice (and often chopped onions) that has been sautéed in butter. The stock is added 1/2 cup at a time and the mixture is stirred continually while it cooks until all the liquid is absorbed before more stock is added. This labor-intensive technique results in rice that is delectably creamy while the grains remain separate and firm. Risottos can be flavored variously with ingredients such as chicken, shellfish, sausage, vegetables, cheese, white wine and herbs. The famous risotto Milanese is scented with SAFFRON. The use of Italian ARBORIO RICE is traditional in the preparation of risotto.

Wasabi, which is also called Japanese horseradish , is available in specialty and Asian markets in both paste and powder form. The latter is mixed with water much like dry mustard.

Graduation Party

Madeline — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:21:50 +0000

You may want to give your graduate a party that will be the highlight of his/her achievement, and a life time memory. Whether it’s a small or a large party, its success is in the planning. Here is what you will want to do to make your graduation party memorable.

Are you planning a large graduation party or a small dinner? What would your graduate want to do? It is important to have a budget in mind, but be prepared to make some changes as you do your planning something’s may cost more /less than you anticipated.

Location, Location Location- You need to decide if your are going to do it at home or if you are going to have a venue. I find that by doing it at home you may have more planning to do. You may need tent, tables, chairs, lighting just a few necessities. You may find it easier to book a venue, park lodge or even a hall that supplies all the tables, chairs and other items you may need to have a successful graduation party. I have seen families with graduates that have been close through school share the expense and do graduation parties together since most of the guest would be the same.

Menu – You have all kinds of catering options. You may higher a full service cater like Madeline’s Catering to take care of your entire event or you may want to or do something as simple as picking up trays at your local grocer or deli.

Get some help for party day-If you can not hire a full service caterer like Madeline’s catering you may want to ask some friends or family to help you with the preparation and picking up of items you have ordered. It is important that you enjoy the day along with your graduate and not feel like you missed the graduation party because you where to busy in the kitchen and with clean up. Another way to enjoy your event would be to see if a local caterer has some staff you can hire to help with the event. You can even buy a few items from the caterer that the staff person could bring along with them. This way you have someone helping with bringing food items you have ordered and a professional person helping you with your event.
