Weekend Madness: Win an Autographed Copy of 'United States of Arugula'
The first time I had arugula was the first time it became apparent that I was some sort of "foodie." I was on a summer vacation with my parents when I was ten, visiting a resort town in central Oregon. We had gone to dinner at the fancy hotel restaurant. Being the precocious little kid (and adventurous eater) I was, for my starter salad I requested Roquefort dressing on my mixed green salad, getting quite the eye-brow raise from my parents and the waiter. Even with my adult taste and vocabulary, I'd never had a salad with arugula before and I can still remember being surprised by the distinct peppery taste.
Wine TV
I really like Simply Wine with Andrea Immer, though I wish it were on a channel more accessible like Food Network instead of Fine Living. Other than that, one of the few television chefs that consistently mentions food and wine pairing is Ming Tsai, who I applaud for moving to PBS but am sad because my local affiliate doesn't carry his new show.
Spherical Is Out: Human-Shaped is In
I was just reading over at Inhabitat about Disney's Mickey Mouse-head shaped pumpkins, and someone in the comments linked to an Ohio company's site called VegiForms which looks like it accomplishes those (somewhat scary) head forms for around $20. The only catch is that you have to grow them yourself.
