    The "refreshingly savory and sweet" treats are being given away for free for three days only. Photo of Mike PomranzIt's not easy being ketchup: one of the world's favorite foods but always an addition, never the star of the show. Now, the condiment specialists at French's have found out a way to put ketchup front and center without squirting sachets of the stuff into your mouth: a ketchup popsicle. Launching this week, these limited-edition ketchup-flavored ice pops — called a "Frenchsicle" — are (sadly) only available in Canada, but that doesn't mean they can't pique our interested down here in...
  • FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, TORRONE IS THE SWEETEST TREAT AT CHRISTMAS

    L'Italo Americano ^ | December 14, 2021 | Chiara Dalessio
    Just like panettone, torrone is a classic of Italy at Christmas, that you’ll find in every household. But while panettone is almost a synonym of Milan, torrone is more ubiquitous, even if many associates it especially with Cremona. As we shall soon see, however, this Lombardy town is far from being the only place in the country making traditional, delicious nougat. But let’s begin, as always, with some history. The word “torrone” comes from the Latin verb, torrere, to toast or roast, which leads directly to the main ingredient of it, toasted nuts. Traditionally, hazelnuts are used, but almonds are...

  • First Lady Michelle Obama: ‘So Many Communities Are Becoming Play Deserts’

    (CNSNews.com) – At a summit by the Aspen Institute’s Project Play, first lady Michelle Obama said Tuesday that some U.S. communities are “play deserts,” because they don’t have sufficient opportunities for kids to participate in sports and other outdoor activities, compared to wealthy communities. “So many communities are becoming play deserts, but in wealthy communities, there is a wealth of resources. You can be in field hockey, or you can learn how to swim. There are aquatic centers and -- I’ve seen the difference. The disparities are amazing to me,” she said. As CNSNews.com previously reported, the Obama administration coined...

    About 25 years ago, a neighbor gave me a jar of ruby-red syrup-y stuff, and a recipe. She called the cakes I could make from these "Amish Friendship Cakes". My friend and I baked many of these wonderful cakes, rolling the starter over again and again, until finally we stopped. Years later I wanted to make the cake again, but didn't know how to 'start the starter'. Fortunately, by then we had the Internet and 'Altavista', which came through. I found two ways of doing it: one using brandy to get it going, and one using yeast. So far, I...

    Busy week here, so I'm just posting a couple of links to Fancy Desserts. Please post your own favorite! Back in the 90s, I found this 'Chocolate Truffle Loaf with Raspberry Sauce' in a magazine ad. There are many versions of it now, but this one is the exact recipe I've used for years; it's not difficult, and makes an elegant, do-ahead dessert for a dinner party: http://www.kraftcanada.com/recipes/bakers-chocolate-truffle-loaf-84706 I once made an alligator cake for a kid's birthday party. It was made by using several pans of different shapes, and cutting the cake up to create the critter - I...

    Dressed in bakers’ whites, Carminantonio Iannaccone sat down at a table as the lunch crowd filtered out of Piedigrotta, the bakery he owns in Baltimore’s Little Italy. He took a sip of coffee from a white cup, clearly spent from his morning in the kitchen. His day typically starts around 4 a.m. Asked his age, he replied 68 in August, then leaned in and added: “But I feel like I’m in my 20s.” That’s a remarkable statement from a man who has lived quite the life. He was born in 1946 in Avellino, Italy, when the country was economically depressed...

    The Connecticut Post ^ | Sept. 26, 2013 | Staff and Wire Reports
    Shortly after the HHS report was released, the leader of the state's health insurance exchange issued a response. "Unfortunately, this is not surprising, given that CT currently has the 4th highest medical costs in the U.S., underscoring how various marketplace variables impact premium rates," said Kevin Counihan, Access Health CT president and chief executive officer. "Additionally, CT has a substantial number of mandated benefits when compared to other states, as well as broad provider network requirements, both of which tend to drive higher premiums. We look forward to being part of the dialogue to address these important issues moving forward...
