Teavivre Tea for Life

I was recently contacted by the folks at Teavivre asking if I would be interested in sampling their tea. Naturally, I accepted the offer. With this crazy long winter we've been having, a hot cup of tea was just what I needed. Teavivre was founded by a group of tea lovers from China, Canada, and France, intent on sharing that love with the rest of the world, as evidenced by even their name. Combining their purpose - tea - and the French term for joy of living - Joie de vivre - results in Travivre. Who better to turn to for tea advice than someone whose life it brings joy to?? They are also seeking to incorporate more and more organic options into their roster, seeing the benefits and desire for more organics in the marketplace. What I received by way of samples was a re-sealable pouch containing several smaller pouches of the following five different loose-leaf teas, each with instructions as to their proper brewing times and temperatures: Descriptions take...

Potato Salad Poppers

I normally buy loose fresh produce, but every once in a while, my local grocery store has a deal on Simply Spuds Steamables Potatoes, so I can't resist. They are small potatoes that come in a microwavable steamer bag. The first time I bought them, I followed the instructions on the package for time and pretty much ended up with a potato puree. I now make sure to nuke them for less time than called for. When I stopped at the store to pick up avocados for my Guacamole Pasta Salad , I saw that the Steamables were on sale again, so I grabbed a bag of red and a bag of yellow. I didn't have a dinner plan in mind and never ended up getting a protein to pair them with, so I decided to go in a different direction and made these cute little party bites. You can, of course, use your own preferred potato salad recipe. For this batch, I used some petite diced sweet onion, celery, dill pickle, baby cucumber, fresh dill, black pepper, and mayonnaise mixed with a bit of the pickle juice, reser...

Homemade Madzoon (Yogurt) Redux - with Observations Over Time

When I first started making my own yogurt, I read a bunch of different recipes and combined what sounded like it made the most sense. Since then, I've been making it at least twice a month, so I've changed my process over time to make it even simpler. INGREDIENTS / TOOLS : 1 qt milk Yogurt for a starter - with live active cultures Heavy-bottomed pot works best Whisk Large Covered Bowl Large Towel Thermometer - optional Vanilla - optional Milk Powder - optional Agave or other sweetener - optional Over medium heat, whisking frequently, bring the milk up to roughly 200⁰. Whisking occasionally to prevent a skin from forming, let cool to roughly 115⁰. In large bowl, whisk starter yogurt, then temper with a bit of the warm milk, adding a little at a time until all the milk has been incorporated. Whisk in vanilla if using. Cover bowl, wrap with a towel, and store in the oven for about 12 hours. Chill. HEAT : I have read in several places that if you heat the milk above 180 ⁰, it won...
