Re: What have you "discovered" lately?

I just discovered last night that I could order sauce at my pizza place....forget about making it myself, bc I cant find a recipe I like....now if only I could find out their recipe, I would be in business!!!

La Bottega in Howard Beach - they opened a few months ago and there I got to have SPECK which I have never had in the US (its a coldcut, like prosiutto) and amazing gelato.

Thats so funny that you mention that, I had a pizza today (here in the UK at Pizza Express) and it had Speck on it, you can get it here pretty regularly.

I love Trader Joe's Chile Spiced Dried Mango. OMG. Yum.

They have Speck in Costco now too (or at least they do in the one by me!).

I discovered that Costco also carries Chorizo now.. and it's fairly decent! Saves me a trip to that little Portugese deli every time I need some!!

Nope - it comes in a plastic covered black plastic container and is refrigerated. It's more of a soft fresh sausage than the hard, dried stuff. It's an American brand (Quijote) so it doesn't have as much of that complex sweet / smokey flavor as the stuff from Spain or Portugal.. but it's still nice and it actually fits the palates of many of my friends better.

Letting my kids make ice cream in a bag. It was in a parenting mag a few months ago and I may have even seen a link for it here. And I finally tried it and it was fun and easy!

And today PW mentioned it.

Here's a link on Tasty Kitchen
