We want to be part of the local community. We want to have local manufacturing distribution, own all the key components ourselves and not have to rely on a third party.
Using a Keurig for tea is straightforward: place a tea bag in a cup, fill the water reservoir, and select the brew size. This method allows for quick boiling of water, making it a convenient option for tea drinkers.
Hall's oats felt like a parfait with a lovely mix of textures. The presentation was nice, too. Drummond's overnight oats were good, but Fuller's impressed me the most and looked amazing.
Flamingo Estate just restocked their iconic, worth-every-penny strawberry fruit snacks. Made from Harry's Berries' truly perfect organic strawberries, the result is insanely addictive, sweet, tart and spicy with a delectable chew.
Food and stoner culture have always gone together, but these days chefs and cannabis professionals are working together to find thoughtful, new ways to incorporate weed into meals. For National Hot Pastrami Day on 14 January, a celebrated Jewish deli in Chicago teamed up with a local Illinois dispensary to give customers free pastrami sandwiches garnished with cannabis-infused mustard. The High on Rye event was held in the parking lot of Ivy Hall dispensary's Logan Square location.
When hot honey started popping up on restaurant menus about five years ago drizzled over pizza perhaps, or used as a glaze for meat or halloumi it seemed novel; something unusual and exciting to try. Word soon got out, particularly among gen Z, about its swicy (sweet and spicy) appeal, and the product has gone a bit crazy over the last couple of years, according to Laurence Edwards, owner of Black Mountain Honey, which has seen its hot honey sales shoot up.
Soaked and blended, cashews become a stand-in for heavy cream, keeping stuffed shells, soups, pasta sauces, and desserts luxuriously dairy-free. Toasted and roughly chopped, they add crunch to salads, curries, stir-fries, and more. There are so many reasons to love cooking with these seeds-that's right, "cashew nut" is technically a misnomer, since they grow outside the fruit rather than inside a hard shell like true nuts.
Stuffed peppers are the homey, cozy, and nutrient-dense dish that you didn't know you needed. They're incredibly easy to prepare, as all you need to do is boil the peppers just enough so that they soften before loading them up with your favorite fillings. There are also many ways to upgrade stuffed peppers, seeing as the shells can be filled with meat or plant-based fillings, adorned with your favorite gooey cheese, and seasoned to your liking.
Finely ground coffee can add depth and a subtle roasted bitterness that enhances caramelization. Freshly ground beans taste best in this situation since they have all of their aroma and flavor still intact. Once you expose those grounds to air or once all the good stuff is extracted during brewing, those spent grounds are a lot duller and lack the same depth.
