Lore of Lamb: The Story Behind a Seasonal Favorite (And a Coke-Inspired Recipe, Too)

Coca-Cola is for more than just drinking - you probably knew that. But did you know that it can season up a traditional lamb dinner?

Here's an article by writer Mackensy Lunsford that offers some Easter and lamb history and a new application for 8 oz of our fizzy favorite - Coca-Cola!

Eating Well: Chipotle Beef Potato Salad - OMG w/or w/out tortillas

I suddenly remembered this easy recipe with a spicy kick - great on the side, as a main dish, or wrapped in a warm tortilla.

Stew meat, diced potatoes, diced chipotles, diced red onion tossed with fresh avocado slices and lime juice.

It's probably poverty food but call me a VERY big fan of this basic, mouth-watering beef and potato delight!

The Garlic Waltz by the Garlic Jam Band

Here is an unedited video of the Garlic Jam Band playing "The Garlic Waltz" by Rutthy Taubb. Rutthy wrote the song, I added the refrain that goes:

"For more than just eating.
For hairlines receeding.
For love and to hang on the wall.
It's Mmmmmm and mighty and mystical magical
garlic's the best of them all!"

Off to North Carolina With Garlic Talk and Fiddle!

"The Garlic Talk" at the library was a success - the video of it is posted here and be sure to search YouTube for the full length editions! I'm scheduling additional talks here and then elsewhere throughout the summer so if you think a program on garlic would be well received in your community, let me know.

I headed back up to Rochester, NY through the Carolina's and fiddled with folks along the way, as I am known to do. Here's a precious something I found in North Carolina so I joined these folks to jam in the Union Alley Coffeehouse in Washington, NC - they meet every Saturday morning. It was FUN! Maybe I'll stop in again on the way back down south. See you there? :o)
