Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day: Tuesday, March 23

March 23, 2010 – 3:00 am | by admin

It comes but once a year: Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s. If you’re near a participating location on Tuesday, March 23, between noon and 8 p.m., wait in line (likely one that snakes around the block, but moves fairly quickly) and get your free scoop! If you’re lucky, they’ll have some of the new 2010 flavors: Boston Cream Pie, Dulce Delish, Maple Blondie, Mud Pie, Peanut Brittle, and our most favorite of all, Milk & Cookies. Find a Ben & Jerry’s near you here. A little Free Cone Day history: it all started in 1979 when co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield scooped free ice cream all day as a “thank you” to customers for supporting them in their first near. Now it’s become an annual event, and practically a holiday.

Growing Shiitakes

January 27, 2010 – 8:45 am | by admin

We were part of a White Elephant gift exchange with friends over Christmas, and were thrilled when we unwrapped a Shiitake mushroom growing kit. Immediately, we vocally gushed and then gave the stink eye around the room to anyone who might consider stealing our present. It worked. Having lived for two years in Kennett Square, PA, “the mushroom capital of the world,” and toured a few mushroom growing houses in the area, I’ve always wanted to get a batch of mushrooms going, but it’s been one of those simple and easy indulgences I’ve just never acted on. If you’re an apartment dweller or a city dweller and don’t have a patch of soil to grow vegetables or herbs, this may be the thing to placate the primal urge we all have to grow something edible. It’s so simple. Here we go… Take your mushroom kit (basically a block of spore inoculated substrate) out of the box, and read the directions. The kit you get may have different direction, but below is what happened when we followed the direction with our kit. The block may already be sprouting…

Diversity: My Approach

December 28, 2009 – 1:03 pm | by admin

My children don’t experience a huge amount of diversity in our day-to-day life on the ranch, unless you count the mix of Herefords and Brangus, Angus and Brahman cattle as diversity. Short of the 25% Native American population of our small town and playing with kids on their respective soccer teams, because of our homeschooling way of life and our isolated location, my kids just don’t have the opportunity to interact with many other kids, period—let alone those from different backgrounds. I’m satisfied with the life my children are living. But as a parent, I want them to be aware of differences in the human race…but at the same time, not to be aware of differences. Does that make sense?

"Beast on a Block" at The Point

September 30, 2009 – 3:51 pm | by admin

“A Taste of New Season’s Lamb” Myself and a few other lucky bloggers ( Thanh , Claire , Jackie , Neil , Elliot , Ed , Jess and Cam Smith from RRR) were invited along to Scott Pickett’s first bloggers’ event: “Beast on a Block”, which was held last night at The Point in Albert Park. Scott is the executive chef at The Point, has his own blog , and as we discovered, is a really, really nice guy. I was greatly looking forward to the event, but not quite sure what to expect. The invite said we’d see a whole lamb get broken down (awesome!), participate in a cook-off (scary!) and then have a meal (yay!). The Point Aquatic Drive Albert Park Lake VIC 3206 (03) 9682-5566 Website We started off with intros, drinks, and a chat about blogging and the restaurant scene. Then we were taken on a tour of the kitchen and meat fridges, with Scott talking us through how the kitchen is set up, and how he sources and hangs/ages the meat. Left: small meat fridge downstairs.The bigger ones are lambs. The small dark ones are hares. Right: show fridge upstairs – lots of beef…
