Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef
The beauty of Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef (or American Kobe Beef) is in its simplicity. It’s raised from the finest stock in the best environment, resulting in an intense and succulent beef flavor.
Wagyu cattle are genetically predisposed to a higher percentage of unsaturated fat than any other breed, resulting in a beef so tender that it’s sometimes called the “Butter Knife Beef.” Prime, the highest USDA marbling grade for beef, does not represent the premium quality of Snake ..read more
Sandy’s Secret Latke Recipe
Latkes, or potato pancakes, are a favorite Hanukkah tradition. It is believed this is derived from the desire of Jews to eat food drenched in oil, to commemorate the miracle of the oil. In the United States, this is the most common tradition. They are best eaten right out of the frying pan, along with a little applesauce or sour cream on top.

November 15, 2012 is Beaujolais Nouveau Day
Beaujolais Nouveau is a young red wine made from Gamay grapes grown in France’s Beaujolais region. The wine is bottled just 6 to 8 weeks after the grapes are harvested. Unlike most red wines that improve with age, Beaujolais Nouveau is all about freshness. Because it is fermented with carbonic maceration, it lacks the structure to age well and should be consumed within a year of its release.
The 2012 Beaujolais Nouveau will be released Thursday, November 15. This date is ..read more

The extra water also helps prevent overcooking and dried out meat. However, home cooks are often reluctant to brine their Thanksgiving turkey due to the time it takes (24 – 48 hours) and the space required (imagine refrigerating a container large enough to submerge ..read more
