Have You Ever Tapped a Maple Tree?

January 28, 2010 – 6:30 pm | by admin

c6fedc650aapping 150x99 Have You Ever Tapped a Maple Tree?

[ Flickr: jbelluch ] As long as there are pancake eaters there will be maple tree tappers. Though the pastime of sugaring (the official term for harvesting sap and syrup-ifying it) is largely associated with Vermont, the biggest maple syrup producer in the U.S., it also takes place in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and apparently Brooklyn where some newbie tappers have started their own DIY projects this year. According to tapmytrees.com , making syrup is not only simple but an eco-happy process and usually happens in mid-to-late winter when evening temperatures dip to freezing. You basically just need a drill, some hollow steel pipes (referred to as “nipples” —I didn’t make this up), a bucket, and maple trees. So have you ever channeled your inner Pa (of Little House on the Prairie fame) and tapped or made syrup from scratch? Or just reaped the benefits of other tappers’ hard work?

Market Scene: Everything’s Coming Up Orange in California

November 2, 2009 – 2:30 pm | by admin

e04e5fb84dimmons 150x99 Market Scene: Everythings Coming Up Orange in California

Note: On Mondays, one of our various Market Scene correspondents checks in with what’s fresh at farmstands, what’s coming up, and what you better get while the gettin’s good. This week, we hear from Los Angeles correspondent Leah Greenstein of SpicySaltySweet . Take us to the market, Leah! Persimmons from Peacock Family Farm. If fall had an official color—like poppies are the official flower of California, Humuhumunukunukuapua`a is the official fish of Hawaii and Crocs are the official shoe of Mario Batali— it would have to be orange. Vibrant, warm and evocative of piles of crisp leaves perfect for jumping in, or the jack-o-lantern shrapnel you wade through the morning after Halloween, orange permeates the season. Here are some of my favorite orange things spotted at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market ( map ) over the weekend: Marigolds Marigolds for El Diá De Los Muertos. The brightest orange at the market wasn’t from pyramids of pumpkins as you might expect. In fact, there were hardly any pumpkins (perhaps related to the jack-o-lantern shrapnel?). Instead it came from the near fluorescent marigold blooms at the South Central Farmers Cooperative stall. Marigolds are the traditional flower of El Diá De Los Muertos, or the …

400 mini cupcakes = 1 giant Halloween pumpkin

October 1, 2009 – 8:05 pm | by admin

ebcd3005fb0de7d9 93x150 400 mini cupcakes = 1 giant Halloween pumpkin

New York’s mini cupcake comopany Baked by Melissa has a fun Halloween cupcake promotion going on. The above version is the 400 mini cupcake pumpkin cake; click here to see the smaller sizes and ordering info. WOW. $280 is a lot of money, but 400 cupcakes are a lot of cupcakes. I think I can safely say that if you had this pumpkin at a Halloween party, people would be very excited to be at your party. Order by calling 212-842-0220 by October 30th. They also have two new flavors: mint chocolate chip and cinnamon. I don’t have my own photo yet but I will soon (see the official photos here ), because my iPhone wouldn’t behave when I tried them. Mint chocolate chip is exactly what it sounds like, and is very minty (which I like). The cinnamon was a surprise to me; it’s very sweet, I’m not quite sure what the frosting is but I’m looking forward to trying it again. I didn’t know if I’d like it but I wound up enjoying it. I have to force myself not to shove the entire mini
