SNACK TIME: The problem with ramps, Obama's nod to Solo, Gelo di Melone, Illegal eggs, Your beer's aglow, and some local bread ideas
People are getting stopped at borders and their Kinders and being confiscated. Europeans have all the fun.
SNACK TIME: The problem with ramps, Obama's nod to Solo, Gelo di Melone, Illegal eggs, Your beer's aglow, and some local bread ideas
- Ramps are synonymous with early spring produce, but overharvesting has botanists and research scientists worried about the long-term integrity of the delicious plant, New York Times reports.
- On Monday, President Obama hosted a Passover seder at the White House, and one of the eight dishes served came from Michael Solomonov of Zahav. Solomonov presented a carrot and apple salad with pine nuts. Zahav's Passover Mesibah is being offered through Tuesday, so don't miss out on that brisket with coffee and morels.
- Capogiro always delivers rich gelatos and fruit-based sorbet flavors with playful innovation. I remember having a watermelon variety recently, and this week I came across an old Saveur recipe for a Sicilian watermelon pudding that sounds similarly refreshing and DIVINE and suitable for summa summatime!
- Easter is this weekend, if you weren't reminded by the endless varieties of Cadburies and Peeps and jelly beans. Just remember you could be in big trouble if you happen to smuggle a Kinder Egg into that basket, because the hollow egg contains a toy inside (hey, Weekly Candy). It is a health hazard and we can't have any. People are getting stopped at borders and their Kinders and being confiscated. Europeans have all the fun.
- Heineken bottles just got a really sexy aluminum makeover, and they glow in the dark, too.
- We really love stumbling upon beautiful blogs written with an insufferable passion for food. On Food and Baking, the sweetie behind it a Philly girl, is one of those sites. Sifting through recipes like grape-and-rosemary foccacia, vanilla bean challah and lots of seasonally appropriate jam, we couldn't choose just one to share, though we can't wait to make our own almond milk. See for yourselves. Thanks, Emily!
