Afternoon Snacks
This Thursday, Oct. 5th, vegan staple Miss Rachel’s Pantry (1732 W. Passyunk Ave.) is playing host to the needlework of local artist Kate Heisler (that's one example above). Whether you’re deep into textile arts yourself or haven’t seen a cross-stitch sampler since Home Ec, Heisler’s fresh, personal, and witty needlepoint and embroidery is worth a look. While you admire the handiwork, you can snack on Rachel Klein’s “tiny plates” menu of $3 bites including mini tofu banh mi, hearts of palm “lobster” rolls, and pizza bites, in addition to a few more options. And, of course, there will be free wine—it’s an art opening, after all.
In hard-hitting, rare-for-Meal-Ticket election news: Looks like Michelle Obama’s recipe for Mama Kaye's White and Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies eked out a win over Ann Romney’s M&M cookies in the Family Circle presidential cookie competition. Oddly, while we’ve rarely turned down a cookie of any stripe, we’ve just gotta say it: while they both look fine, neither cookie is inspiring any particular cookie lust over here at MT headquarters. But it was a close call, with only 287 votes separating winner from loser—the closest in FC cookie showdown history.
One thing that tends to happen as the weather turns cooler is our appetite for meat grows ever more ferocious. But this vegetarian harvest dinner menu from Saveur certainly helps quell the urge to fall back on the old reliable braised meat dishes. While it might be a bit much if you don’t have a dinner party planned, mixing-and-matching possibilities abound: farro risotto larded with butternut squash sounds like a pretty lovely fall meal, whether you pair it with a shaved brussels sprouts and kale salad or marinated beets with walnuts and blue cheese.
In case you’ve been holding back your acceptance for the exploding trend of high-end beer in cans, maybe this compendium of schmancy beer can design from Food Republic will help sway you. Affectation or not, we have been searching for something, anything to do with our old church key. Hmm…
