Homemade Fruit Leather… Apricot
I picked up three fresh apricots earlier in the week. While I do enjoy eating them right off the pit, I was wanting to do something a little different with these. But I only had three… so that ruled out a tart or a pie or jam. What to do… what to do?
A quick Goole search yielded a recipe...
Enokitake(えのき茸)
By Tammy in Everything, Healthy & Diet, Ingredients, Recipes, Vegetarian on Mar 14th, 2009 | 2 Comments
Enokitake mushrooms… long, thin, white and used in various Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine — but mostly in soup. You can purchase them fresh (like these that I got at Russo’s for $1.49) or canned; clearly fresh is desirable.
Sometimes called “Golden Needle Mushrooms”,...
Sunchoke Puree (and blurring photo backgrounds)
By Tammy in Everything, Healthy & Diet, Ingredients, Recipes, Vegetarian on Mar 12th, 2009 | 2 Comments
Sunchokes are also called Jerusalem Artichokes, but artichokes they are not and they are not from Jerusalem. In fact, they are tubers… though they are a tad related to artichokes. They come from a plant that is essentially a sunflower. According to the website www.wisegeek.com…
A sunchoke...
Sharon Fruit
It looks like a tomato, but it’s not. It’s Sharon Fruit… a cousin to the Persimmon — well, sort of a Persimmon species. There are two types of Persimmon… astringent and non-astringent. The Sharon Fruit is a non-astringent type, which makes it a bit more popular —...
Foodoro Launches Today

My favorite (and only) Brother-in-Law forwarded me an article posted today on www.techcrunch.com. It seems that there is a new Foodie website — Foodoro. According to the story…
Foodoro is an online marketplace for specialty artisanal foods. The site allows foodies to ship items like sesame...
Greek spread on Armenian bread
During one of my recent Russo’strips, I came across a large, oblong, flat loaf of bread ($2.39). It looked so enticing that I had buy one. Upon closer inspection, I realized that (like all the bread at Russo’s) this was not only a local product, but also a traditional Armenian bread called...
I am Yam. Yam I am.
So a regular reader asked me the question “Do you know the difference between a Yam and a Sweet Potato?” I thought I did… but when I researched it, I found out that I was sort of wrong . Do you know the difference? If not… read on!
There are only about two types of sweet potatoes…...
Sugar — It’s bitter… REALLY bitter
By Tammy in Restaurants on Mar 10th, 2009 | 5 Comments
Dear Sugar Bakery,
Gasp. Sputter. Gag. Hack.
Sorry… I just took a sip of your cappuccino. Yes, it’s that bad. And well, that’s too bad for you… because you see, I am giving up Corporate America for the month of March — which includes my daily Starbucks fix — so this...
Super Soup
It was cold and I was hungry… and had just left the New England Mobile Book Fair — so what better place to stop for lunch than another regionally named locale? That’s right, I headed right to the New England Soup Factory (in Newton). I used to work in Brookline Village (and actually...
Mango, Celery & Pineapple Juice
Even though my all-juice diet is over, I am still enjoying the benefits (and taste) of regular juicing. In fact, I plan to save up some money so I can buy a more heavy-duty juicer, as my current one is just a cheap little Black and Decker model (mine is the older version of this model).
I particularly...
