food nextwork this morning....
I'm watching Aarti Party on the food network. I'm telling you, she has some great recipes. She is engaging and has a great personality. Today she is making some very good food, chicken, salad, bread pudding, (who thought it was an Indian food). She does say there are not a lot of salads in India, instead they make yogurt with vegetables in it. They do use many exotic spices and she has a container with smaller containers of a variety of spices. Terrific. It stays on the counter and the spices are constantly dipped into. She talks plenty about Cardamon, I will be getting some on my next marketing trip. I really like her style and her ease in the kitchen. Congratulations Aarti on your success on a craft you obviously love. I am going to print the recipes you are making today.
And the next food network star is...
Isn't it wonderful how people who love to cook can now get their own shows on TV. I think the winner of the Next Food Network Star is really interesting and a great cook. I'm looking forward to her use of the wonderful Indian spices. I use cumin and turmeric in a few special recipes and I would like to experiment with more creative uses of these and others. (see my sweet potato fries video)
I was curious about her and found it exciting that she started as a blogger. In my day, the only food shows were on WGBH. And of course, Julia was the forerunner of this huge business that we are all exposed to everyday. And to think, something so basic to human life generates such an interest to so many. Before all the cooking shows, I used to read my cook books all the time. I found it very relaxing. Now I watch TV. I belonged to a cook book club and got some good books from it. I never pass up a cook book at a yard sale. If it's a good one, I treasure it. I have a small home economics text book from the early 1900's that was used in the Boston public schools. I love it. And the recipes are not that different from what we use today. I find the cost of the meals especially fascinating. Pennies. (Yes it gives the cost, how to budget, how to take care of the home, etc)
Anyway, I will continue to watch the Food Network, look up the recipes that I want to try, learn new techniques in food preparation and prepare and enjoy good food.

Could it be that it's time for school already? I didn't realize it was so quickly upon us until I was driving to work today and saw all the telltale signs. The CVS flashing sign stated in big bright red letters, "Welcome Back Stonehill". This is the local college and CVS is welcoming them back with open arms. It's walking distance to the college. Plenty of money to be made from the new and returning students. As I continued my drive (it's only about 13 minutes), I passed the Ninety Nine restaurant. I looked to see if they had joined CVS with a "welcome back" invitation. No, just the banner across the front of the restaurant stating, "Red Sox win, Kids eat free". Pretty good deal, although I haven't taken advantage of it. But a good deal all the same. Let's face it, you might as well throw your money in the street for as much as kids eat at this kind of restaurant. Anyway, as I continued my ride, I came up to a set of lights at the entrance to the college. Sure enough, the cars, many with out of state plates, were lined up at the light. As I watched the cars enter the campus, I noticed two tired co-eds sitting on a stone wall with signs resting on their laps. I could not see everything written on them, but I did see "Welcome" and "2014". I guess they were the welcoming committee. They looked tired and were resting after a busy day.
How wonderful for these young kids to experience college life. Some will thrive, some will just make. I'm sure that at a college like Stonehill, a private Catholic school, most will thrive. My own experience in Catholic schools was high expectations and no fooling around. Although we all fooled around, when the nuns weren't looking.
