A Better Sundae

 

Every once in a while, someone does something special. Take the savory, full-fat yogurts made by Blue Hill Farm, in flavors like carrot, beet and butternut squash, for example.

Made with milk from a grass-fed cow (identified by name on the inside of the lid) is naturally cultured and deliciously creamy and unsweetened. Coupled with a no-grain granola, (slightly sweetened with real maple syrup), it's a fully evolved healthy sundae treat any day of the week.

 By the way, I hope you don't buy this notion of yogurt as a health food when it is nothing more than soured up industrially-produced milk laced with inert "probiotics", let alone the lowfat varieties with synthetic emulsifiers and added sugars. In fact, most "yogurt" is worse than ice cream. (Not that I don't love a decadent homemade ice cream made with cream, egg yolks and pure maple syrup on occasion).

To Brine, to Bard or to Baste?

To Brine, to Bard or to Baste?

To brine, to bard or to baste… that is the question if you have a bird in hand to roast.  Like most of the big questions in life, this one also begs several others before the answer is to be found: Which bird is it? Where did it come from, how did it live?
