DigsMagazine.com | for the post-college, pre-parenthood, quasi-a Scott's Pizza Chronicles: Why I Love the International Pizza Expo A typical scene at Pizza Expo. [Photographs: Scott Wiener] The response is common when I tell someone I'm heading to Las Vegas for the International Pizza Expo. "What is the International Pizza Expo???" I'm not surprised this event isn't common knowledge, especially since there's little mention of it in the media (including this very website). Most of us who read Slice are interested in the glorious craft of pizza making, but the truth is it wouldn't exist if it wasn't a gigantic industry. I attended my first pizza trade show in September 2006, the last time the National Association of Pizzeria Operators (NAPO) held one in Atlantic City. Being an international event, pizzas like this Japanese one are entered into culinary competition. Before I get to the good stuff, let me clear out some of the negatives that come with Pizza Expo. Once you're inside the convention center, the outside world is inconsequential. This product helps you carry stacks of pizza boxes.

In India when speaking of our dead, the people say “she left the body” rather than “she died”. That is, there is a deep clarity — for me our subconscious patterns of speech reveal deeply the structure of how we think — about what death is, or as it has sometimes occurred to me, “the unreality of death”. Krishna and Jesus are both pretty into this idea – “For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.” I’ll let you figure out the who’s whom, but the point is that many tribes and cultures have come up with elaborate rituals around the Leaving of the Body. In Mexico, Dia de Los Muertos is celebrated every year, on November 1st and 2nd, to pray for and remember our dead. Now it’s all beginning to come together. You’ve got to do this thing. I think it’s important for those of us still in the body. * filling (salt) * rice * sauce * goodies avocado finely diced onions cilantro
Half Bakery Recipes - Restaurant Girl: Best Food Blog & Restaurant Guide Wild Mushroom Stew Stew is a generally a great go-to for home cooks during winter —simply throw bits of meat from the freezer and odds and ends from the fridge into an oversized pot, and forget about them for hours at a time. But the best thing about this stew is that it will actually appeal to vegetarians (and non-vegetarians!) alike, made with a hearty mix of cultivated and wild mushrooms, chewy ribbons of kale, and nutty brown rice or barley.

"A" is for antique apples Disappearing Heirlooms In 1972 James Beard wrote that “a number of the old-fashioned varieties [of apples] we used to know are in short supply or have disappeared from circulation entirely.… The great Gravensteins and Spitzenbergs seem to have vanished.” Over 17,000 different apple varieties have been recorded, but the modern-day American usually only knows a handful of grocery-store staples, because many of the heirloom apples are too oddly shaped to be picked by machine, too delicate for mass production, or both. The appeal of the old types is their flavor. From the wine-like Winesap to the coriander-scented Grimes Golden, “antique” apples are meant for a gourmet. Heirlooms Rediscovered Many of the old varieties were developed from seeds during the late 1700's and early 1800's, though some date back much farther. Following is a partial list of old-timey apples. Note: Ripening times vary, depending upon location and seasonal growing conditions. Copyright © 2000–2009 Patricia B.
