Doo-Nanny. A term coined by Butch Anthony’s long-time friend, John Henry, meaning “to improve yourself every day in every way.”
The Chattahoochee Heritage Project
While in Auburn last week for a board meeting, we learned about The Chattahoochee Heritage Project, a program that spotlights the people, places and culture of the Chattahoochee River Valley. The site was developed by AU students, faculty and friends and is affiliated with the Department of Communication & Journalism. Thanks to professor Ric Smith and the entire team for coming up with this idea and for sharing these wonderful stories. Oh, and be sure to check out the story and video on folk artist Butch Anthony of Seale, Ala., who’s been featured on the History Channel’s “American Pickers” (one of Mike D.’s favorite shows).
Hay: It’s Not Just For Horses
The Wall Street Journal
Nov. 6-7, 2010
‘Consider This’
A growing number of top kitchens across North America and Europe are harnessing hay’s comforting, pastoral quality in their dishes. They’re using it to lend grassy, autumnal, haute-barnyard goodness to whole poached hams, for smoking veal chops and sweetbreads, as a smoky and strangely familiar seasoning powder for meats and fish and even to flavor whipping cream for dessert. Many professional kitchens source their hay from egg and meat producers; for obvious reasons it’s worth finding stuff that’s fresh, organic and unused. Fergus Henderson, the London-based nose-to-tail pioneer and co-chef behind St. John Bar and Restaurant, suggests home cooks get it at the pet store. Chances are it’s the only ingredient du jour you’ll ever find next to the Friskies. Read more…
Homecoming
Commercial Break
We try not to talk too much business here. Pretty sure you get enough of that stuff all day long. But we are excited to share the news that our PR firm has been named agency of record for Farm Rich. And since this new client has “farm” in its name, we figure it’s just fine to give them a nice plug here. Learn more about their products at Farm Rich Fun, follow them on Twitter, or “like” them on Facebook. First up, a really cool promotion we’ll be doing in Cincinnati starting at the end of this month…then we’ll roll into 2011 handling national PR for this great brand. (Their famous cheese sticks and the mini quesadillas are our kids’ favorites so far.) So friends, next time you pass your grocery’s freezer cases, please look for the Farm Rich logo and buy plenty! 🙂
