Five Foodie Finds for Friday August 21 2015 (c)nwafoodie

 

The internet is brimming with goodies that are begging us to pay attention to. Today’s foodie finds are both fun and practical. Is it wrong that I want them all?

1.

Sunnyside Up tray. Cute. We’ve all seen the porcelain egg holders in stores, magazines, and Pinterest photos. This is the first time I have come across a wooden tray to house your homesteader or farmers market beauties. Perfect for the times you are baking and need to bring an egg or two up to room temperature.

 

2.

Florigraphie Margherita straw potholder. I love surrounding myself with beautiful things. I believe it elevates our surroundings and inspires us. Growing up with had a brightly colored potholder that we used everyday as a trivet to hold hot pans. Guess what? I still have that straw potholder and use it constantly. It still is in excellent condition and I estimate it is between thirty and forty years old. This straw potholder is of the same material and the site has other floral designs to choose from. Pricey for a potholder? Not if it last as long as mine has!

3.

Bourbon smoked sugar. OoooOooo. Imagine the uses for this! Sprinkle on a cobbler, rim a cocktail glass, or add to a BBQ rub.

4.

Chocolat en Poudre. The French drinking hot chocolate is served in top French hotels such as George V, The Ritz, Royal Monte Carlo and The Bristol. It is made using select cocoa, refined cane sugar and natural Bourbon vanilla (apparently I have Bourbon on the brain). It contains no dairy additives and is not Dutch processed. 10 packets or buy it in a canister. I’m hoping over there now to purchase to bring for an upcoming vacation.

5.

Lavender Herbes de Provence refillable grinder. What is this magical grinder? Hand painted and made in France, this ceramic grinder is designed to release the strongest essence of the French classic Herbes de Provence with a simple twist. This site has many designs to choose from and focuses on many of your favorite herbs. Yes, it is refillable.

Happy shopping.

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am rea There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am ready for it! Yet..... that doesn't mean that I'm still hopeful for some cool mornings where we can light a fire!

There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?
My coffee routine is alllll over the place! Firs My coffee routine is alllll over the place! 

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!
Isn't it interesting how two things with the same Isn't it interesting how two things with the same word can convey entirely different moods?

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
