Did anyone else see the segment on the Today show about food for serving while Olympic-watching?

Dawn, did you see these recipes from the Foodnetwork show? The appetizers sound delish, and

have good reviews.

This ice wine is the one DD likes from Inniskill (sp?) Winery

I just found about him last night Pat, while I was watching an Alton Brown episode.

 

[charlie]

That's my fav too

Wellllll, I just came from Whole Foods and they no longer sell any Canadian wine. Said it wouldn't

sell, though they didn't really carry many Canadian offerings AND I must say their wine section is really quite small. They said the Inniskill (sp?) ice wine was priced at $85 for a 375 ml bottle. Whoa, that be pricey stuff!! (no wonder it wouldn't sell), but maybe it was just Whole Foods prices. Will have to search elsewhere. The wine dept. manager suggested some sources to try locally.

Oh good, so I'm not the only one. Was starting to feel out of the loop...lol.

Come on over - I'm making them in the morning!

Didn't score on the wine today BUT they had some amazing coffee I tried for the first time. It's

from the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company. The one they were sampling at Whole Foods is called Heart of Darkness, a dark french roast (organic and fair trade). I really really liked it. Can't wait to try it in my espresso machine tomorrow. Realllly liked it alot. If it's as good in my latte as the brewed coffee was today, I'll be their new best customer. Did I mention how much I liked it? ;o)

I didn't know that until I read the Today show article. Thanks for the link.

 

[cheezz]

oooh, thanks! I always take coffee up to my BIL when I visit up there *g*

 

[pat-nocal]

Reporting back...it wasn't nearly as good as an espresso in a latte. Will stick to using it for

brewed coffee. Bummer.

 

[cheezz]

It was a good brewed coffee, tho?

Target and coffee: our Target carries a few local roasters, and the price is terrific.

We have a Cafe DelMundo Capt. Cook Blend, which is the signature blend for a fancy schmancy hotel downtown, and the 12 oz bag of beans is ---get this--- $3.98. a steal for great coffe. they sell anoter blend, Copper Riner Blend, for the same price. I was wondering if other Targets sell local coffee?

 

[pat-nocal]

Excellent for brewed, enjoying it that way this morning. Bought another bag

yesterday to gift a friend...she's gonna love it too. We have similar tastes in coffee.

Great! Can't wait to introduce this new one to the BIL smileys/smile.gif
