Shout out to ZomppaKat! What’s my favorite butter in the world? Kerrygold Irish Butter. They rely on independent dairy farmers and cows who graze on the green grasses of Ireland. Result? The most gorgeous, golden-yellow, creamy deliciousness.

Wearing of the Green

St. Patrick’s Day is when draft is 50% off and rivers run green, right? Not quite…although I really should leave the history lesson to our dear ZomppaKat who is from the Emerald Isle. St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated for over 1,000 years as a religious holiday that falls during Lent.

Remember E.B. White’s book The Trumpet of the Swan, where a mute swan learns to play the trumpet and dines on watercress sandwiches at the Fairmont Copley Boston? Hail watercress sandwiches and delectable crumpets brought straight from the UK by ZomppaKat with butter and fresh honey made from the apiaries of Cake Mountain Man’s mom.

Year 4708: Gung Hay Fat Choy!!!

Valentine’s Day, Apolo Ohno’s 6th medal in a kick-ass race (did you see his semi-final run?), Chinese New Year – it was a busy weekend! And a busy eating weekend.
While Ohno gets his rush from speeding like a maniac on steel blades, some of us find pleasure in things a bit less…fast. Food carries much [...]
