  • Pick Up a Copy of “To Market” Issue No.3 at the Best Food Places

    My preview copy of To Market magazine arrived and it is another gem. Don't you love it when you begin to scan a publication in a pile of mail and find yourself sitting down to read one article after another?

    Ready for a Road Trip? 

    Then you'll want to read "Charmed By The Connecticut Coast." Or perhaps you would rather visit a farm to table restaurant. 

    Of course there's more including profiles of some great food heroes. So you know what to do – find a copy!

    Support the To Market Team

    First pick up a copy of To Market at one of these locations. In fact pick up two copies and share one with a food-loving friend or leave it where someone might discover it among lesser publications and become a new fan.

    May I suggest that you let their sponsors know you saw them in the magazine and grab an extra copy and get it to someone else who cares about supporting the local food movement. Also, if you have a blog, twitter account, or facebook page, write about them, link to them, follow them, retweet their tweets, like them on facebook, and in general, spread the word about this great asset to our community.

    And, to be sure you never miss an issue of To Market, you can subscribe over on their website!

  • Blue Cook’s Tape

    I know, other people call it Blue Painter's Tape but I use it to keep track of food.

    It's a trick I picked up from restaurant kitchens where it is essential to rotate product and get a quick inventory of the prep work to be done.

    I keep a roll handy. Right now, I'm using an old drafting table tape dispenser that sits in my mortar next to the refrigerator. If I open a carton of stock, the date is added before I pop it into the fridge. When I freeze meals or ingredients, they are labled with blue tape. Even my dog's raw food has the date I made it and which meat it contains. (She loves lamb, rabbit, and duck!)

    It also does a great job of keeping those open boxes resealed when you pop them back into the freezer.

    Out in my "hallway pantry" –a set of wooden cd racks that hold jars containing dry goods– I can tell my salt from my sugar because of a blue label. 

    Grab a roll the next time you're at a hardware store. You may be surprised at how many uses you'll find for it at home. The tape clings well, even after freezing, and then comes off cleanly when you want to remove it.
