TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Superseedz

October 16, 2007 at 4:01 pm · Filed under Party Favors-Stocking Stuffers, Snacks, Top Pick Of The Week

SuperSeedz
  

If you like the idea of healthy pumpkin seeds but not the shells or the excessive saltiness, imagine gourmet pumpkin seeds.

Four years ago, Kathie Rosenschein began making SuperSeedz as a healthy snack for her family. Encouraged by all, she then started to sell them at craft fairs.

This year, she has a Gold Medal Winner from the Gallo Family Winery for her artisan food craftsman ship and is a NIBBLE Top Pick.

The delicious, all natural pumpkin seeds come in four flavors: Sea Salt, Original Curry, Somewhat Spicy and Cinnamon & Sugar.

They’re great to eat straight from the bag but we use them to accent foods ranging from eggs to salads to yogurt. They surely supercede (pun intended) any other roasted pumpkin seeds out there.

Read the full review of Superseedz.

GOURMET TRAVEL: Oyster Festival

October 15, 2007 at 10:26 am · Filed under Fish-Seafood-Caviar, Food Holidays & More, Travel

Oyster lines
Oysters hang on long lines in the deep, cold waters, filtering water for food. Currently about 50,000 gallons of Pacific Oysters are harvested annually in the Vancouver Island area.		   Next month is the height of of oyster season on the west coast of Vancouver Island. From November 15 to 18, ostreaphiles (oyster lovers)—and perhaps some other lovers who simply believe in the aphrodisiac properties of the little mollusk—will indulge their love of the briny creatures during the 11th annual Clayoquot Oyster Festival. For revelers who want to enjoy the festival in luxury, Long Beach Lodge is offering an Oyster Festival Weekend Package: a two-night stay for two plus tickets to two festival events hosted by the lodge.
The first is the For the Love of Oysters dinner on Friday, November 16, where Executive Chef Jeffery Young shows off his talents with an array of oyster dishes served with regional wines. On Saturday, November 17, the Long Beach Lodge Winemaker’s Dinner features a “Pearl of an Oyster” dinner, with Vancouver Island guest winery Venturi-Schulze Vineyards and the double mouthwatering fare of Chef Young plus Chef Tim May of the nearby glamour camping wonderland, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort. Other Clayoquot Oyster Festival events include an educational talk, an oyster farm tour and a Mermaid Ball. For more festival information visit OysterGala.com.
