Do you like to cook? Do you like to eat? Have you tried some new techniques or spices lately? Do you collect cookbooks and recipes? Do you drool over new kitchen appliances? Do you try every new restaurant in town? How many different ways can you roast a chicken? Do you go to gourmet food stores and wonder how to cook all the odd ingredients? Well if you answered yes to any of these, you have so much in common with me.

Meatball and Barley Stew
Today, I have a meatball and barley stew cooking in my rice cooker. I
used half a bag of pearl barley seasoned with onions, lots of garlic,
lots of ginger, and Sriracha. (all to taste) I added 2 pounds of
little meatballs that I had previously made and frozen and 1 bad of
frozen chopped spinach. I also added 1 can of condensed Campbell's
French onion soup and a can of water. It smells awesome! I can't wait
to eat it.

Grape Yogurt
Why don't yogurt manufacturers make grape flavored yogurt? I have seen almost all other fruit flavored yogurts. There is lemon and orange and raspberry and blueberry and banana and mango and passion fruit. There is key lime and apple pie. There are also quite a few other exotic flavors and combinations like chocolate and red velvet cake and honey. Why not grape? I think the Welch's company is missing a marketing opportunity.
Today, I mixed a heaving tablespoon of Welch's grape jam into a cup of fat free plain Greek yogurt. OH MY! It was luscious. I remember having grape ice cream and grape pudding at the Welch's Grape Festival years ago. It's time for GRAPE YOGURT!
(By the way, I haven't seen grapefruit flavored yogurt either. I haven't tried it yet. Although, I love grapefruit, I think it might curdle the yogurt. Or is yogurt already curdled?? I guess I have to try it.)
