Since I have started at <a href="http://www.delightglutenfree.com/" target="_blank">Delight Gluten-Free Magazine</a> - we have pushed out two issues - Fall and Winter 2012. Both you can buy online <a href="http://delightglutenfree.3dcartstores.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I am loving every part of my new job. I get to work in a test kitchen all day and talk about food with people
who love it as much as I do. Thanks Vanessa! It doesn't get better than that. Well, for me at least. It is such an amazing fit for me. I am involved in testing recipes, styling, writing and much more. I am learning so much about the gluten-free world. Every day is a new food adventure. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My advice if you want to get into the food world - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.
Go to culinary school if you can. Although I have not gone I guess its
never too late. Luckily I have Vanessa next to me all day teaching me
all she knows. She is a sponge of food knowledge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Dine out when you can afford it. Try a new place each time and order things for inspiration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.
READ READ READ. Pick up cookbooks and magazines. I always have my nose
in something, especially if it is related to food. The more you read the
more you learn. Reading helps you stay on top of trends and the food
world is always changing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Cook daily. And know it is ok to make mistakes. The more you make the more you learn and understand the ways of ingredients. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Cooking! </div>

Outstanding In The Field came to DC again this year. It was<span style="color: #0000ee;"> great</span> catching up with the crew. Leah and Jim were the only ones on tour this year from my season, but it was amazing to see them. I helped and reminisced on old times. I sure do miss the crew, bus and adventures. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways the event was pretty special. It took place on the roof of the Smithsonian's
National Museum of American History for a special event to benefit a new
exhibition - <a href="http://americanhistory.si.edu/food" target="_blank">Food: Transforming the American Table, 1950-2000. </a><br />

Guests got a sneak peek of the exhibit which is set to open in
November 2012. The new Smithsonian exhibition looks at how the culture
of food and wine has changed in the last half of the 20th century. <br />
<br />
A portion of the proceeds helped fund the Smithsonian exhibition, which features Julia
Child's kitchen from her Cambridge, Massachusetts home and artifacts
reflecting 50 years of change in the culture of food.<br />
<br />
Cheers to Food, History and Good Times! <br />

I’ve been growing peppers for the first time this year on my patio. I have learned that just because you don’t have a garden to grow veggies in does not mean that
you can’t grow them. I think growing peppers in planters is easy. <br />
<br />
They are getting huge! I had to get a tomato plant holder to keep the limbs from snapping because the peppers are so heavy. <br />

I read that you pick them before they reach too large a size, thus encouraging the plants to produce more fruit. So I will be sure to do that! But when picked too young, they tend to be a little bitter, lack good texture, and just don’t taste good. <br />
<br />
Pepper Tips: Peppers like consistently moist but not soggy soil. Water them whenever
the top of the soil is dry. Peppers also like the sun and thrive in heat. <br />
<br />
I cant wait to cook with them!Sally Picklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05741482144856082484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773286779237584029.post-44994658057850938902012-08-26T17:44:00.001-07:002012-08-26T18:46:50.809-07:00Welcome To DC!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had two friends moved to DC recently - Martha Collins Grace and Anna Ramsey. So I decided to host a girls luncheon to bring some of my friends together for them to meet people in the city. And I am always looking for an excuse to have people over. <br />
<br />
My Aunt gave me this beautiful china for my wedding - so I was excited to put it to use and welcome them to my city! I spent hours planning my menu and cooking. Since my new job at Delight Gluten-Free Magazine. I have been greatly introduced to the gluten-free world and cooking outside my comfort zone. I planned a gluten-free menu (minus the ham rolls) to widen my cooking skills and test some awesome recipes. Not to mention, Anna is gluten-free!<br />
<br />
I 1st made a Gazpacho and put shrimp and pickled okra on top. I created the recipe as I went by throwing things in the blender and hoping for the best. It really turned out. I have been eating it all weekend! It made a TON. I got some inspiration from <a href="http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/lowcountry-gazpacho-seasoned-shrimp-50400000120587/" target="_blank">Coastal Living</a>. But they were totally different. I served in these adorable tea cups. <br />

I also made <a href="http://mynewroots.blogspot.com/2012/06/meatless-monday-with-martha-stewart.html" target="_blank">Carrot Ribbon Salad with Lentils</a> and <a href="http://mynewroots.blogspot.com/2012/08/summer-stuffed-patty-pans.html" target="_blank">Stuffed Patty Pans</a> (Squash) - which I found off this incredible website I just found. I will be cooking a lot more from this site. The recipes turned out beautifully. I really recommend making these the next time you have guests over. Since squash is almost out of season - you can stuff a tomato or pepper with the same recipe. Would be just as good. </div>

I recently started a new job with <a href="http://www.delightglutenfree.com/" target="_blank">Delight Gluten-Free Magazine</a>. Delight is a fun, foodie international magazine filled with gluten-free recipes,
mouthwatering pictures, lifestyle advice, and great resources for anyone
living gluten-free.<br />
<br />
My new boss, <a href="http://www.celiacprincess.com/about-vanessa-maltin-weisbrod.html" target="_blank">Vanessa</a> is an amazing mentor. I am so lucky to have an incredible boss and friend. I know I will learn a lot from her. As well as being the <span class="st">Executive Editor, </span>she consults for a variety of gluten-free food manufactures
and is an active member of the Advisory Board of the Celiac Disease
Center at Children’s National Medical Center. I am so excited to learn from Vanessa - I feel like I am now able to use my passion and love for the food industry and truly make a difference in someone's life. I cant wait to also get involved with Children’s National Medical Center.<br />
<br />
I have been with the company for a little over a month and I have already learned so much about the gluten-free world. And let me say, it is a WHOLE new world of cooking. I LOVE it. It is an amazing fit for me and I love every minute of working for this company. Be sure to check out the Winter Issue - I wrote some piece interesting articles including an interview with Kevin Gillespie from Top Chef. I am also write a Gluten-Free Beauty Column. It will come out in November. <br />
<br />
The past few weeks we have been busy developing recipes for the Winter Issue and I am diving into the new routine with Delight. They are having me test recipes, develop recipes, write, edit and much more. Every day is a new day with a new task and food adventure.<br />
<br />
The Fall Issue just hit the shelves last week. <a href="http://delightglutenfree.3dcartstores.com/" target="_blank">You can buy it here</a>. Even if you are not gluten-free the recipes are fabulous. You will not be disappointed.<br />
<br />
Cheers to a new chapter in my life.

I am growing a little garden on my patio in Georgetown. Condo living does not stop me! Check it out! I already have tomatoes growing. I hope the peppers, zucchini and squash also grow. I planted them in long big pots that I hope will result in a lovely veggie garden. The herbs are in full bloom as well - but those are easy.

For John's 30th - we went to the <a href="http://www.greenbrier.com/" target="_blank">Greenbrier</a>.
We had a fabulous time with some good friends and WONDERFUL food. Nothing like eating dinner
in an old southern Main Dining Hall. The Dining Hall was opened in 1913. During World War II, the resort was used as an Army hospital and the Colonnade Dining Room became the mess hall for enlisted men while the Georgian Dining Room was for officers. - I love the history of this place. Makes it really special to visit. <br />
<br />
We had a four-course meal followed
by a night in the Casino. Trent won a little money. I lost - gambling is not my thing. I wish I took pictures of my meal, because it
was out of this world. All I got was John and his Birthday Cake. <br />

I had the Chicken Liver Parfait - Vanilla Citrus Confit, Port Wine Reduction Endive Salad, Toasted Brioche followed by a Caesar Salad. Then for the main course I had USDA Prime Filet Mignon - <br />Black Pepper Polenta Fries, “Broccoli”, Red Wine Onion Marmalade and Crispy Radishes and Merchant Du Vin Sauce. For dessert Trent and I split a piece of cake. <br />

Nothing is more exciting then watching a child on Christmas Morning. We
spent Christmas at my parents house this year (I need to do a better job of
taking pictures of Trent and me).<br />
<br />
But Griggs - I loved spending
Christmas with you this year! Cheers to many more to come....<br />

This year we spent Thanksgiving on the Eastern Shore with Trent's family and friends. What a wonderful way to spend our holiday! Loved our roasted oysters. Such a great treat. I am Thankful for our first Thanksgiving together as a married couple. (Now why I didnt take a picture of us is beyond me- but I did manage to take one of the Turkey!). Happy Thanksgiving! From my table to yours - I hope you had a wonderful holiday. <br />

Leah allowed me to bring Trent to an OITF dinner for him to experience a bit of my life before we got married. I started this blog because of my adventures with OITF. I traveled across the country with them and put on farm dinners to teach people about where their food comes from.<br />
<br />
It's always exciting when they come back to town and I can help out - but this year I was able to sit down and enjoy a meal. THANKS LEAH!<br />
<br />
We went to <a href="http://www.arcadiafood.org/" target="_blank">Arcadia Farms at Woodlawn</a> in Alexandria, VA. (Once a part of George Washington’s farms at Mount Vernon)<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful meal prepared by Kyle Bailey & Tiffany MacIsaac - From <a href="http://birchandbarley.com/" target="_blank">Birch & Barley</a>. This was a beer dinner, which we both really enjoyed trying new beers. <br />

It's always fun to get back out in the field. And of course see old friends. The dinner was at <a href="http://www.arcadiafood.org/" target="_blank">Arcadia Farms at Woodlawn</a> in Alexandria, VA. (Once a part of George Washington’s farms at Mount Vernon). Due to rain we had to set up the table in a tent - but it still was a wonderful event. I helped Eden with the wine/beer table. </div>

Trent LOVES candy. So I thought I would surprise him with a candy bar at
the wedding. After a few boxes of candy were delivered to our condo -
that surprise ended. But still it was a HUGE success. A little something
sweet for everyone to enjoy. We even found crab chocolates to go with our Eastern Shore theme. I personally loved the m&m's with our faces on them. </div>

Best part of the wedding. At least I cant wait for the bride to slice the cake. The Wedding Cake was important to Trent and me through our wedding process. We tasted all the bakeries on the Eastern Shore. But it came down to the fact that we LOVE <a href="http://www.carolinescakes.com/" target="_blank">Caroline's Cakes</a>.<br />
<br />
Trent grew up with Caroline's Cakes. She use to sell them at Landon before she opened up her store front right before the Bay Bridge. Their

</style>Seven Layer Caramel Cake is to die for. A true southern delicacy and staple. She was also featured on <a href="http://www.oprah.com/gift/Carolines-Cakes-7-Layer-Christmas-Caramel-Cake" target="_blank">Oprah</a>. Need I say more?<br />
<br />
My favorite is the Coconut Cloud Cake. YUM! They couldn't do the Coconut for the wedding cake (do to refrigeration)- so we had a large sheet cake of it cut up in the back - yes I had 3 different flavors for my wedding. I couldn't decide. The Grooms Cake was a Bushel of Crabs - of the Seven Layer Delight Cake,which alternates layers
of Caramel Icing and rich chocolate
ganache, then it is iced with our Southern Fudge
Icing.
As they say - "It is seven layers of pure delight!" We did a traditional white wedding cake - which was also fabulous.<br />
<br />
If you have never had a Caroline's Cake. Order one! She ships her cakes nationwide in airtight tins. (Can also be stored away in the freezer for up to six months) They make great gifts! I saved the top for our 1 year anniversary. Hopefully it will be just as delicious. A true taste of tradition and delight! <br />

A week till the wedding. We just ordered Chinese do to the stress - no time to cook. I have a list a mile long to get through. I have bows to time! Seating Chart to work on! Could this not be more appropriate? I love when your Fortune Cookie makes you smile. I am not for the boring generic cookies. But this one I will keep....<br /><br />Sally Picklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05741482144856082484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773286779237584029.post-41646413918341087922011-05-17T16:02:00.000-07:002012-05-22T16:09:16.017-07:00My Bachelorette Weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
