Candles as Condiments
Candles…they’re not just for ambiance anymore David Burke’s Primehouse in Chicago is using candles as condiments. They make edible candles out of bacon and beef drippings (the wicks are coated in vegetable wax.) As the candles melt, it is drizzled over dry aged steaks and salads to add an extra kick of flavor. Now that’s thinking outside the box.

Send Snack Attacks Packing
Not an aerobics fan? Consider this: Aerobic exercise not only burns calories, but also curbs cravings. Researchers at the University of Chile Clinical Hospital reported that people who ran or biked for 20 minutes three times per week for 10 weeks had reduced appetites due to increased levels of neurotrophic factor (a protein in the brain that may suppress hunger) from the workout sessions compared with when they were sedentary. Rev up your cardio routine and rein in your snack attacks.

Tad’s Roasted Potatoes
Serves 4
- 1 pound old white potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- Olive oil
- 8 sprigs herbs (any combination of thyme, sage and rosemary)
- 3 garlic cloves, lightly smashed (leave the skins on)
- Coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spread the potatoes in a well-seasoned cast iron pan — they should fit comfortably in one layer. Douse with olive oil, like you’re marinating them. Add the herbs and garlic, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes a few times to mix in the herbs and seasoning.
2. Roast in the oven, scraping up and turning the potatoes every 10 minutes or so, until the potatoes are well caramelized and tender, about 40 minutes.

Reconsidering The Drive Thru
Reasons to cook dinner yourself instead of eating out:
* You can assure your hands are clean when preparring your food. How clean do you think the teenager’s hands are that will make your food at a carryout?
* You can assure your food is fresh. You can’t be sure if the cheese someone is serving you had mold on it or the hamburger was several days old …or even dropped on the floor first.
* You can control how much butter and fat your meal has. In fine dining, everything is made with butter, and lots of it.
* You can check the expiration date on the cream for your coffee if it’s in your own refrigerator. Who knows how often the creamer containers are washed out at restaurants?
* You can keep track every calorie you are eating. With ordering out, it’s a mystery.
