Flowers are telling us it’s spring and it’s my Lenten/Easter
season. It’s humble and reflective and generous and social. I serve modest
beans and rice and later enjoy fish, figs and abundance. Joy to all!
This past Sunday I enjoyed a Palm Sunday Mass and got my
sprinkling. Later in the day I was invited to a Christian-based Seder meal with
much beautiful symbolism.
Our area has many traditions and each one comes with family
and friends and food to be savored. Sometimes that nourishment is also a lovely
learning experience. Enjoy your holidays.
Here are a couple of things I’d enjoy in my Easter basket:
Alter Eco may have you at heirloom quinoas.
If you want to just gobble up some organic dark chocolate truffles and toss the
wrappers in the backyard compost, you’re on your way to making every day Earth
Day. Okay, you get some regenerative farming and Fair for Life-certified
chocolate. Read up on that, because this space is for sharing how bars of
Orange Crème, Mint Crème and Salted Caramel Truffle Thins. Talk to me! To learn

Time to Get Saucy - Saucy
Rascals has many entry points to the story, but I’ll start with the season.
Stefan Nicodemou grew up with Greek family Easter parties featuring family, and
roasted lamb, on Long Island . With Sebastien and Rafael, S and R, are the
Saucy Rascals on the label. And they help cook. Their dad has created
crazy-good sauces with balanced flavor profiles and the rascals just say NO to
excessive preservataives and high-fructose corn syrup. I’m favoring Everyday
Black Garlic Teriyaki (Oooh…Mami) for fish, chicken, dipping, eggs, etc. I have
just about used it every day for a week. In between I’ve enjoyed Everyday
Ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Mayo-BBQ and Hot Sauce. The Hot Sauce is labeled A Party In
Your Mouth. Born in Long Island, Made in America. Long Island not where my mind
goes to when I think Hot Sauce. I noted a site review that someone thought it
was too spicy, but I think Southeast Texas folk can handle it. I’ve enjoyed
samples of this line and award the Teriyaki as my No. 1 Everyday! Check out the
video to meet see this family inaction at www.saucyrascals.com
