Hello
my foodie friends, here are five more foodie finds for you to enjoy.
1.
Beige ladle rest.
Are your spoon rests currently letting you down? Mine work fine when it comes to the wooden spoon and a
spatula, but for my ladle? Forget
about it. It’s like playing
utensil gymnastics and is all fun and games until the ladel hits the
counter. If you are like me, this
ladle rest is intriguing for its shape and the interior ledge to hold the ladle
in place. Great price, too.
2.
Microplane pink Himalayan sea salt shaver set.
Regular white table salt is so yesterday. It seems like everywhere you turn around a new type of sea
salt hits you in the face… and they all intrigue me. How about you?
If so, make the pure pink Himalayan sea salt your next choice and bundle
it with Microplane’s specifically engineered grater than is built to handle the
hardest of salts. Nothing says, “Wow,
you’re a foodie” when you whip this tool out and deftly grate salt over your
finished dish. Your guests will be
impressed. Guaranteed.
3.
Doodles at Breakfast placemat. Trying to get your
kids to enjoy breakfast more?
Scratch that, trying to enjoy it more yourself? Or, determined to be more light-hearted
in 2013? This fun product can
handle all three of those bucket lists. 36 tear-off placemats allow you to
doodle and release the inner-child in you as you merrily munch your granola.
4.
Swissmar fondue set. Fondue is more than melted,
calorie-laden, artery-clogging cheese.
Have you ever had broth-based fondue with cooked meats? It’s fantastic and highly recommended. This fondue set is heavy cast-iron on
the outside and enamel coated in the inside for easy clean up. Make this the year where you embrace
the fondue-foodie within you.
5.
Cooks Illustrated weekly free newsletter. You may know them from the PBS show called
America’s Test Kitchen or the Cooks County magazine. I just know them as my favorite go-to online source for
learning how to cook just about anything.
Their online service has a fee yet their weekly newsletter is free. For
example, today’s edition explains how to “hunt for the crispiest, crunchiest,
crackliest fried chicken” and how to cook “easy caramel cake, spanakopita, and
roasted butternut squash soup.”
Sign up today, it’s free.
But I am warning you... you will get hooked and subscribe. It’s inevitable.
Do you know of
something that you think I should share for the next 5FFFF?
Happy Foodie Friday!

well, my friends. Eat well.
Love Cook's Illustrated and their in-depth articles. I have ambitions to cook my way through their Best-loved volumes. Maybe if I live to be 200! Happy day:)
ReplyDeleteOkay, may you live to be 200 because that is a good enough reason to live that long if I ever heard of one!
DeleteI love everything about Cook's Illustrated... especially their pen & ink drawings. I love how they test, test, test, and test every possibility of ingredients and cooking methods to find out which one works the best. Are you one of their Test Kitchen panelists? I am, let me know if you are interested and I will hook you up!
I'm obsessed with Cooks Illustrated!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? It's a mixture of old-fashioned format with state-of-the-art techniques... what's not to obsess about that?!!
