New Glarus Brewing marks its 20th anniversary with expansion, special ale.

Great with grilled fish or chicken, this salad is loaded with the amazing flavors of the southwest!

This knife-and-fork salad is easy to put together and so delicious. Fresh ingredients and homemade Blue Cheese dressing make this salad something special!

There are many ways to brew coffee, some of them a lot more interesting than just plugging in a coffee maker and pressing a button.

Since the site has been down, I’ve falled behind on Mad Men. But I do have a few cocktail notes for the current season! In the first and second episodes (the 2 hour season premiere), the doorman has gifted Don and Megan with a bottle of Galliano, which they open on New Year’s Eve, 1967. Galliano is an herbal liqueur from Italy. It’s known for it’s bright yellow hue and distinct tall bottle. According to Wikipedia, the color symbolizes the Gold Rush of the 1890s. The exact recipe for original Galliano is considered a “closely guarded secret,” but the flavors include vanilla, star anise, ginger, citrus, juniper and lavender. All of these natural ingredients are infused into neutral alcohol, with the exception of the vanilla. The vanilla comes later, when the alcohol is distilled and then infused with vanilla.  I haven’t yet had Galliano, but now I’d like to try a sip. There are cocktails made with the drink, although in the photo above, Megan is serving it straight in simple aperitif  glasses. From the Galliano site (because it’s hot here and this looks amazingly cool and refreshing): La Dolce Vita 1.5 tbsp Galliano Vanilla 1 tbsp Limoncello Top off with Prosecco Build the ingredients in an ice-filled glass and garnish with orange or lime wheels.

If you like artichokes, you'll love this side dish!

This is one of my all-time favorite and go-to recipes once berries are in season. It has always been a hit with my friends and family and is really simple to put together. Feel free to substitute any berries with your personal favorite, seasonal fruit like peaches, strawberries, nectarines, etc. Anything will work, the crust is really what makes it!

[Krieger] Pete Wells had one good meal and several bad ones at Graydon Carter's The Beatrice Inn. The good dinner was cooked by Brian Nasworthy, who left the restaurant in January. Now the menu is full of clunkers: There was nothing to say about a stack of carrots that came with a braised and roasted veal breast except that it shouldn't be possible for vegetables to be both charred and raw. Apparently it is, though, because a steak turned up in the company of blackened and crunchy hen-of-the-woods mushrooms. The desperately undercooked sunchokes with sautéed trout were something of a relief. They were awful, but they were not even a little bit burned.Wells gives the restaurant a zero star "satisfactory" rating. And in case you're wondering, Brian Nasworthy is now at Picholine. · The View From West 12th [NYT] · All Coverage of The Beatrice Inn [~ENY~]
