Five foodie-finds for Friday, August 23rd.

Five Foodie Finds for Friday August 23 2013 (c)nwafoodie

It’s Friday!  It’s Friday!  It’s Friday!

I love Friday because it is when I get browse goodies from all over the internet and share foodie items with you that happen to tickle my fancy.

These are so lovely.

1.

Frozen black Oregon truffles. Until we are gazillionaires and able to just casually hop on a plane to France and go truffle hunting, why not explore what the good ol’ US of A has to offer?  Don’t forget the truffle shaver which will shave thin slices of  black Oregon truffle delight over pasta or early morning scrambled eggs.

 

2.

Serving pot. Fall is just around the corner. It’s when we start spending more time sitting outside, enjoying the temperatures drop and drop until one day we decide that it is time for that jacket.  And that blanket. C’mon, let’spend more time with our loved ones just sitting outside and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors.  I think this serving pot would be perfect for transporting something warm to eat and keeping it next to you while you stare at the stars.

3.

Horn salt dish and spoon. Whether you serve your guests from the dining table in a formal style or whether you serve buffet style from the kitchen countertop, this little salt dish and spoon adds a little specialness.

4.

French madeleines. I don’t have a sweet tooth. It is true.  You rarely ever see me talking about baking or indulging in dessert. I prefer savory.  Except madeleines.  I think it may be the perfect dessert with just a hint of sweet.  Madeleines will be my next baking project just as soon as figure out where to buy a true blue steel French Madeleine pan.  From France.  Until then, these little pre-made French pretties will hit the spot. Oui.

5.

Less laboring, more savoring plate. Doesn’t this plate just make you smile?  It’s dubbed as a “pizza plate” but I think it would be perfect as a tapas or appetizer plate. It would go perfectly next to that serving pot. Besides, we all could use a constant reminder to slow down and savor the moment.

Do you have a foodie find that you would like to share?  Drop me a note at nwafoodie (at) gmail (dot) com.

Happy Friday!

Lyndi

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?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

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
