Anthony
Nichols of Port Arthur treated out-of-state relatives to a taste of Texas. His
plans for Zummo links included giving those sausages a boil in a couple of cans
of Coke. It takes the grease out and leaves you just “eating strong sausage,”
he said.
Alter
Eco
Mother
Grain is what the ancients called it. Organic Royal Rainbow Quinoa from Alter
Eco is now conveniently packages for your dining pleasure. It cooks in 20 and
flavors easily. I put a little curry and garlic in because I was watching “Life
of Pi.” My guests loved it and one taster said it was like India in her mouth.
Here
are more taglines: the package calls it “bright, festive supergrain of the
Andes.” I can’t top that. If you are already a fan of this grain, you’ll love
this packaging. I made a salad drizzled it with olive oil, adding tomatoes,
cucumbers and shredded lettuce. Three people who ate my salad and know about
quinoa noted that just a little serving of this grain seems to continue
expanding in the stomach to make one feel very well fed.
If you haven’t tried quinoa, know that this line
is all organic, fair trade, and gluten-free. This is a do-good company offering
fair trade. Visit www.AlterEcoFoods.com
to see how they serve it up.

one out
Containers
are so fun now I can’t imagine why anyone would think packing one’s own lunch
could possibly be anything but exciting. My latest pick is Swissmar Pop’N Go Collapsible Silicone
Boxes for meals
on the go and food storage.
They come in colors (mine is purple) and they collapse to half their size, with
your spork still tucked inside the lid. Pop your rice salad, veggies are fruits
into your purse and go. This pop is BPA free and ready for action. Let’s all
pack one and head to Sea Rim State Park for summer fun.
