ENTERTAINING: Keep Foods Cool Outdoors

Necessity is the mother of invention, and Jack French came up with an idea to keep the perishable foods cool that he and his wife Linda set out for their backyard picnics and barbecues. Now, French’s Tabletop Cooler is an easy way to prevent foodborne illnesses from ruining your outdoor soirees. Along the concept of an inflatable kiddie pool, the table-size, heavy duty plastic liner is set atop a picnic table, folding table or whatever you use as a buffet, and filled with ice. Set onto the ice the platters and bowls of potato salad, fried chicken, cold cuts and other foods that should be kept cool. You don’t have to run back and forth to the kitchen to refill chilled foods from the fridge. French’s Tabletop Cooler can also be used as a beverage table—more user-friendly than the cooler or trash can approach. It’s $39.95 plus $12.99 shipping at FrenchsTabletopCooler.com.

TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Biotta Organic Vegetable & Fruit Juices

Who doesn’t love a glass of juice? But, just like like ice cream, burgers or any pleasing food, there’s good, very good and amazing. Biotta raises the juice bar about as high as it can go. It’s beyond delicious—it’s exciting, vibrant and organic to boot!

Each of the 16 different bottles of fruit and vegetable juice is labeled with the health benefit that the produce’s vitamins and minerals confer—for example, beet juice or vegetable juice cocktail for your immune system, carrot juice for vision, celery root juice for pH regulation, potato juice for the stomach. Potato juice? If you’ve just cocked an eyebrow, you’ll convert to eyes wide open as you sip a glass and sigh, “I never dreamed potato juice would taste like this!”

But these juices are more than just sippers. You can cook with them, make ice cream and sorbet, turn them into kickin’ cocktails. Beetroot Martini? Mmmm—and while you’re at it, try some fine organic gin and vodka from the Organic Spirits Company. Read the full review, and then, drink up!


Biotta’s beautiful organic juice line—delicious and
most definitely good for you.

CONTEST: Create The Next Ben & Jerry’s Fair Trade Flavor

Ben & Jerry

Socially responsible ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s has just launched its latest flavor, Chocolate Macadamia, a “Fair Trade flavor” made of Fair Trade™ Certified cocoa, vanilla, macadamia nuts and sugar. You might create the next Fair Trade flavor, by entering their “Do the World A Flavor Contest” using the fun, interactive “Flavor Generator” on BenJerry.com. In addition to the honor of creating B&J’s next pint, the winner will enjoy a trip to the company’s Fair Trade cocoa co-op in the Dominican Republic. The deadline to enter your flavor is is May 26, 2009 at 11:59:59PM ET. (After all these years, someone must have finally figured out that “midnight” was ambiguous.)

CONTEST: Your Favorite Restaurant Could Win You A Trip To NYC

If your favorite barbecue restaurant beats all—and you can write it up in a way that will get judges and viewers to vote for it—you could win a trip to New York City and dinner at a famous restaurant (not stated, but we’ll guess it’s Danny Meyer’s Blue Smoke). If you already live in New York City, we’ll guess that you can spend the night at whatever hotel the out-of-towner would get put up at, and maybe bargain for an extra night given that the contest sponsor saves on plane fare. Or, maybe fly in a pal to join you. But that’s just our guess.

What do you have to do? Tell ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America” about that restaurant and its signature dish. You have until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 19. You’ve got 300 words or less. You’ve got to make it juicy and gooood. Details and the online entry form at http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/story?id=7249406&page=1.
