When is the last time that you took the time to taste your food? I mean really taste your food by using all of your senses? It is my firm belief that to get the full effect from food you must eat with all 5 senses. Nowadays too many people eat in a rush or on the go and don’t take the time to relish what they are consuming. Too often we miss a good majority of what a dish has to offer because we are only eating with our sense of taste.
The outdoor activities that we’ve been enjoying with our children this summer, the walking, biking, and impromptu softball games, might end with the first-day-of-school bell. This is the week, Exercise with Your Child Week (August 4-10), that we can bolster a pledge to work out with our kids. Beyond fun, regular family exercise, along with healthy eating, is an endowment for a child’s future health.
Compound butter is just a fancy way of saying butter with yummy stuff mixed in. If you really want to strut your culinary stuff, announce this sophisticated (yet simple) creation in the manner a snooty waiter might in an expensive French restaurant -- beurre composé. Now that you’ve got that rolling off your tongue, it’s time to let your taste buds have a little rendezvous with remarkable flavor. Compound butters are so quick and easy to make, there is absolutely no cooking involved.
