I have been traveling a lot lately. One of the things I enjoy when I travel is reading news papers from the different cities I am in. The first pages I turn to is the Food sections. I love to read about food! There are so many interesting food tips and facts.
I think foodies are taking over the world! Almost every magazine now features a recipe, or an article about a restaurant, or about unique food items. I will be going home with my computer bag stuffed with all the articles that caught my eye.
Do you tear articles out of magazines and the news paper too?
Do you have an interesting food fact or tip you can share?

ReplyDeleteFun facts, Linda! I agree with the milk chocolate. Yes, on trips all over the country, I've always bought the local newspapers just to look at the food section. And I check out food articles and recipes in magazines too and have a folder full of clippings.
ReplyDeleteHere's a rice tip: Add a few drops of lemon juice in the water before boiling the rice to make rice whiter.
Diane, Dark chocolate is good for you! You picked the good chocolate to love!
ReplyDeleteGreat rice tip, Pam!
That was a fun Chocolate post Linda; I prefer dark chocolate and really don't care for white chocolate. Yes I used to often sneak out a recipe from a magazine; now I ususally manage to find it on the internet. Coming back Friday for that lava cake recipe.

I never really crave chocolate...I prefer white chocolate.
ReplyDeleteRita, They say the most popular chocolate is milk chocolate, but I think they may need to redo their surveys and contact you and Pam. Dark chocolate seems to be gaining on it.
ReplyDeleteBo, You are proving number one on the list to be true. LOL!
Linda, I've always enjoyed reading the tips u post here. Thks for sharing & have a good day!
