Food for all Those Hungry Stars at The Golden Globes.

As I was watching the Golden Globes I saw Julia Louis-Dreyfus eating a hot dog and thought what the hell, a hot dog?  So I looked it up and this is what they are really eating. From CBS NEWS:

First of all plenty of alcohol. Fact Golden Globes is the only award show where guest get drinks. 

It starts off with an appetizer trio of grilled eggplant with sundried tomato and pine nut hummus on seared tomato; mini sweet pepper with feta cheese, pomegranate, herbs and California olive oil on grilled pita; and grilled artichoke on multigrain tabbouleh and tahini.

Mediterranean spice-crusted braised beef short rib and sauteed smoked filet of Atlantic sea trout are on the menu for the entree, with spinach sweet corn ragout and light cream of tomato dill sauce. And after dinner comes a mango dessert on almond sponge cake with creme anglaise.

QUIRKY

Back in September, I caught an episode of the Jay Leno Show and saw this ingenious company called Quirky and was amazed.  I had to check the company out for myself and was even more amazed so I joined and started influencing new ideas.  Here is the video.

One of the products I thought was so cool is the Egg Minder dubbed "THE SMART EGG TRAY". Have you ever been at a grocery store and was not sure how many eggs you have?  Well that is the thing of the past this baby links up with your smart phone and lets you know how many you have and how old they are.  I know that I have had that very problem. Go check that company out. And there is a bonus you can actually earn some money by influencing ideas, check out my profile on Quirky.

Build Your Own Wood Burning Pizza Oven.

I love pizza any type any combination and some of the best pizza is made in a wood burning pizza oven.  How many of you out there have had a great pizza cooked in a wood burning oven. I recently came across this tutorial on how to build such an oven and I thought I would share this sponsored program with you. Wood burning pizza oven. The great thing is you can cook or bake much more than just pizza in an oven like this.

Welcome to MOE'S!

I lived in Florida for a bit and there were two restaurants I frequented one was Chipotle and the other was Moe's. We all know about Chipotle in Minnesota and the're are many who love that restaurant for it's comfort food and perhaps some who don't. Now we finally and I say finally it's about time we got Moe's in Minnesota (2101 West 80th St Bloomington, MN 55420). When you walk you get a very friendly greeting every-time. "Welcome to Moe's!"

Moe's has quite a bit to offer and the chips and queso are a must also they have their own sauce bar.  I told my friend who also lived in Florida that Moe's has arrived and he is already salivating at the mouth.

I went to Moe's on Wednesday and was greeted with that fantastic greeting and it made my day so stop in and say hello, enjoy a burritto.  Say hi to the crew.
