Weekend Madness: Win an Autographed Copy of 'United States of Arugula'
I've never eaten arugula... because we call it rocket in Australia. So if David Kamp's book were to be made popular down here it'd have to be renamed. Well, not have to... but it might be advantageous. Except that then the title wouldn't sound as fun. United States of Rocket? Doesn't really work does it. Maybe that's why it's so hard to find a copy of his fascinating-sounding book down here. I love rocket. Fantastic on pizza. Great in sandwiches with provolone and tomato. Alas, the very first experience was a poorly judged salad. Maybe it would have tasted better if the chef hadn't been thinking 'rocket' (fuel) when he was mixing the terrible vinaigrette...
In Design: OXO Good Grips Corn Stripper
I have to second the comment by txvoodoo. These "bulky, awkward knobs and handles, pandering to kitchen neophytes" are in fact fairly well-designed tools which are a great relief to people with reduced grip, dexterity or manual strength.
The Best Frozen Custard
Thanks for your replies kathryn and elaine! Hmmm... so maybe this stuff is dense, low-egg ice-cream?
