Peanuts are a part of daily life, at least around this house. They're consumed as butter, as a recipe addition, as a snack, and pretty much any other way I can come up with to use them. I started working up a recipe for Valentine's day a little earlier in the week and I knew from minute one that I…
Salt was a New York Times Bestseller and Anthony Bourdain (who I respect) says "...a must-have for any serious cook or foodie." I bought this book thinking that I was going to love it. Well, I hated it. Honestly, I've only read about a quarter of the book but I couldn't get through it. It's really a history book and as much as I love salt as an ingredient or seasoning, this book is just so boring if you're not into history. I'm giving it to my dad. BTW, for foodie reading, I loved Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.

I know, I know…. the market is supposed to be horrible and everything bad and the sky should be falling. But even so, average prices aren’t dropping in Salt Lake County and the local economy is soaring.

Although you may not realize it, simple table salt has a great number of uses other than simply seasoning your food. The following list will give you sixty uses of salt, many of which you probably didn't realize.
1. If you drop a whole egg on the floor, pour salt on it. Let it sit for awhile, then use dustpan, the egg will come right up, without all
that mess. Contributed by Ms. Jerry McGinnis.
Sorry for the delay, the Internet is sometimes elusive when traveling the way we do. So lets begin where we left off.Seattle was nothing short of a love fest!! Old friends were in attendance, old tour mates were on hand for good story telling, and the audience reminded me of why we love playing intimate shows.We met several kids after the show who were willing to wait a while. Among them were a nice couple from Canada who had danced to Stolen at their wedding, an artist who gave me a wonderful pencil drawing of SMG, and couple who remembered my Yankees cap from last time and gave me a Mariners cap to replace it (I'm still thinking it over!)The best part of the show for me was the familiarity that I felt with the crowd. I may have met some, but certainly not all, of the audience before and it really felt like we were old friends.Read the complete blog entry here

Researchers from Harvard University have discovered that by eating less salt you can prevent heart diseases. In the research conducted with 3000 individuals, they asked half the people to restrict their salt intake to one half teaspoon, about 1,15 grams of sodium. Fifteen years later there is 30% less heart disease among this group. High [...]

The state of the real estate market in Salt Lake City today is interesting. It’s much tougher to sell a home now and there are three very distinct reasons why;
1. Inventory levels are ridiculously high. Funny how this works (in any market). Prices start to go up, people begin to notice and wait and see, [...]
For a funny explanation of a quick tip to perk up lesser cuts of steak, check out Steamy Kitchen. Keep in mind the two most important elements: remove the salt and moisture before cooking. Always cook steak after it has come to room temperature.
What can we do with LEGO blocks? For example we can build a salt n' pepper shaker... Just like designer Joel Hesselgren. He put together this shaker using only LEGOs.
The salt is in the white coloumn, the pepper is in the black. With the red block you can control what you want to use salt, pepper or both.

Real estate markets go in cycles. They appreciate, slow down, equalize, and then appreciate again. Investing in real estate is not just about location, it’s about timing as well. There are good investments in any real estate market, but when you buy while the market is appreciating, you’ll ride a bigger wave than if the [...]
While shopping at the St Lawrence Market I visited White House Meats and picked up a couple of Bison Rib-Eye steaks at my wife, L’s, request. She heard that Bison was lower in fat and calories as well as having more nutrients than a lot of other meats. White House was clearly the place to go, it’s been around since 1953 and is quickly becoming one of my favourite and more challenging places to shop at the Market. I can easily walk away with a product that I have no idea how to cook; ostrich, rabbit, venison...etc.So, along with my usual free-range capon for my Sunday chicken roast (from Mano’s), a pack of free-range chicken legs and a couple of skinless chicken breasts from Clement Poultry, I had the two 10 oz Bison Rib-Eyes weighing me down along with eggs, kefir, morels, salt (Île de Ré salt from Andrea Brockie, owner of Selsi Sea Rocks) and a plentiful horn of vegetables hanging from canvas bags (all this with only a peameal bacon sandwich for sustenance). Imagine my surpris
