Flavor Bible to the Rescue (AKA Awesome Broccoli Soup)

March 29, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · 6 Comments

I teach a class called Friday Night Fridge Finds on ChefHangout.com.  The premise behind it is that we – people in general – often wind up at the end of the week without much food in the fridge or motivation to cook, but we can still come up with a healthy, tasty, and easy-to-prepare meal. [...]

In a post last week, I talked about the buffalo trail run I was going to participate in.  It was truly awe-inspiring.  At one point in the run, 10 American bison crossed the path ahead of me.  Antelope ran in the distance.  And ravens coasted along on the spring breeze.

Garbanzo beans pop, pop, pop – who knew?

February 11, 2012 by Stormy Sweitzer - Maoomba-in-chief · 2 Comments

Have you ever eaten a fresh garbanzo bean?  Have you ever even seen one?
