Facts about Food Friday – Make your own shaker jars
So it’s been a little while since the last FaF, but no matter. I’ll make it up to you with this genius fact:
Canning jars have the same size top as parmesan cheese shakers.
Why should you care? Because that means you can turn any old glass jar (not the wide-mouthed kind) into your own shaker bottle.
Not that you should be buying those cheap green jars of parmesan “cheese” anyway, but if you have any sitting in the back of your fridge, might as well put them to use. Think outside the standard box of shaker jars and consider storing your bread crumbs in them for an easy way to add a quick topping to a casserole.
Or store your cat’s favorite nutritional yeast and garlic power in one. Not that I’ve ever done this, of course. Just hypothetically speaking, if your cat is addicted to powdered yeast, this would make it really easy to shake on her food every morning…
Thank Jesus! (Wordless Wednesday)
And shhh, it’s my mom’s birthday this week. Let’s see if I can avoid getting yelled at by being vague and sliding it in after a picture she’ll giggle at. Happy birth-week! :P
Barbecue tips – Cook food over an active volcano
Really, nobody is going to care if the food is a little extra dry or maybe not packed as full of flavor as you might have liked. Because it was cooked by a freakin’ volcano!
It won’t be cheap, but to get the best barbecue, it’s obviously worth it. This particular volcano is on a Spanish island near Morocco. In 1970 Cesar Manrique created a restaurant called El Diablo. They grill all meat and fish straight over the open heat. Don’t worry, though. This isn’t a volcano erupting with any actual lava spewing all over the place. It’s basically just a hole of hot heat.
But it’s volcanic hot heat. How cool is that?
If you’re ever in the area, the Volcan Grill Tour is operated every Tuesday from 6 to 9:30 PM. For €50, you get a tour of the area, a three course meal, and transportation to and from your hotel. That’s really not that bad at all, huh?
I couldn’t find any really good videos but this will give you an idea of what the restaurant on Lanzarote is like.
