Measuring Spoons and May 17th...

I found these measuring spoons at Winners. They are magnetic which makes them stackable. Which is great for storage. They come with a pinch of salt and a dessertspoon measurement. Which is handy because my pinch of salt and Jamie Oliver's pinch of salt could be two different things. Also I have some vintage cookbooks which call for a dessertspoonful of this or that. I now can appreciate those recipes.  

On May 17th I will be participating in THIS...

If you haven't guess... Food Revolution Day is May 17th. I will be hosting an Asian infused family dinner. I have the menu set and we are excited to be participating again this year. When I registered I was the only one in E-town which is a step up considering last year, I believe, our dinner was the only one in E-town and Alberta for that matter. This year there is an event being hosted in Calgary. There are plenty things to do on that day. It's not just about cooking "real food" it is about education, awareness, communities, people, shopping local, sharing... Go visit the Food Revolution site by clicking *here*...

Jamie Oliver's Garlic Press

I couldn't go into any one of England's major department stores and not go through the housewares department. There I found an array of celebrity chefs flogging everything from pots and pans to kitchen gadgets. When I spotted the Jamie Oliver range - "Get Inspired" and knew I wanted... or I should say needed a garlic press. So, I bought it! The garlic press slices and crushes, a two in one gadget. I like that idea. I like when one thing can be multipurpose. It makes more of an efficient kitchen. Tonight I am putting the crushing bit to work by making some garlic toast! - JW
