The End Of Prohibition

First we worked…

IMG_6121Blog

Then we celebrated the end of prohibition!

IMG_6151Blog

Laura let me know that today is National Beer Day and the anniversary of FDR signing the legalization of beer sales on April 7, 1933, effectively ending Prohibition.

When I heard that news I started salivating for some malty brew.

Hello Lagunitas!

IMG_6148Blog

Matt poured us each a sip to share on our porch swing. Of course working did not end because our conversation kept returning to the layout of our merchandisers in the bakery. Le sigh.

Who likes tofu!

We munched on a few of these new treats – fruit + veggie chips to the EXTREME!!!

IMG_6125Blog

Pumpkin crazy – like crunchy roasted squash

Thick banana-chip-like taro

Crunchy okra

And the ever-sweet crunchy toasted coconut!! AMAZINGNESS!

Dinner tonight was Extreme Philadelphia Spaghetti

IMG_6163Blog

IMG_6161Blog

While I was out of town, the town of Philadelphia [Philly Homegrown] sent me a goodie basket of local gourmet foods – pasta, tomatoes, sauce, jam, chorizo, honey, biscotti, cheese, biscotti, bread flour! All made from local Philly artisans.

IMG_6053Blog

We took the pasta, sauce and chorizo and made a fantastic twist on spaghetti (ok, ok, those who got on me last time for called any-ole-pasta spaghetti when the noodles were clearly not spaghetti style – I don’t know what these were called! Big fat noodles!?)

IMG_6166Blog

We cooked the noodles – which were by Severino Pasta and were thick, doughy and loved – they were like giant lasagna bites! – and topped them with a sauce made of SIW Tomato Sauce (tasted like pizza!), chorizo pieces from the Garces Trading Company, red pepper and spinach. Chickpeas were stirred in and parm on top!

IMG_6162Blog

The dish was divine, but I actually couldn’t finish it and had to let Matt polish off my portion!

IMG_6157Blog

IMG_6154Blog

I tried a piece of the Baker Street Bread Co. Biscotti for dessert. Reminded me of the Great Harvest Cranberry Orange bread. What a great combo – and palate cleanser! It was the perfect mix between bread and sweet.

Have a lovely night!!

          I would have said rigatoni. But definitely not spaghetti. 🙂

            April 8, 2011 at 12:31 am

            every pasta shape is an italian word, derived from a specific meaning. Ex: rigatoni (riga i a line/stripe) thus rigatoni are lined pasta. Anything with one/oni as a suffix means its larger, hence rigatoni are large, striped pasta. Here there are claerly no stripes.

            Pacco means packaage or bundle. This pasta shape is a large hollow tube (usually even larger than rigatoni or other pasta of that shape) and it is used to package up or bundle up the sauce. Hence “paccheri”. Every shape corresponds usually with a specific sauce type that it goes best with. Not just glopping any type of sauce on. However this rule is more flexible 😉

        I also agree! To me spaghetti is a dish with noodles and tomato sauce, that may or may not actually use spaghetti noodles. I’ve actually had quite the heated argument about this with a friend!

          All of you guys sound so ignorant… I mean it’s not that difficult… Italians who invented these types of pasta made from semolina flour, have specific names for each shape. It’s insulting to the people who make them to call everything spaghetti because it’s simply not correct. All it takes is looking at the package or looking online, which you all clearly have access to, to understand the names. It’s like calling all mexican food tacos, when there is clearly a specific variation.

              I agree with you, that was incredibly rude. At the end of the day is it really going to hurt somebody if someone calls something spaghetti when it’s not, or “noodles” instead of “pasta”. Really?

                I lived in Italy for a few years and I was always surprised by how american-style food would be described. Some people described every american-style sandwich as a “burger,” which was a surprise when I wanted to celebrate the 4th of July with a good ol’ cheeseburger and ended up with what resembled a club sandwich. Food terms are generally very difficult to translate exactly, so the concept of Italian pasta names describing their shape can be lost on most non-Italian speakers. My favorite type of pasta is “lumache” meaning “snails.”
                Once you have learned some Italian it is fun to look at the names and try to translate them. While it is definitely not accurate to refer to all pasta as “spaghetti,” I do not think anyone would consider it offensive. And it isn’t really like calling all Mexican food “tacos,” since all the types of pasta are under the umbrella definition of “pasta.” It can be fun to learn all of the names though! At little souvenir stands throughout Italy they sell aprons with pictures of the different types of pasta.

                Looks like you had a delicious meal, regardless of nomenclature, and thats definitely more important!

                  Maybe this was said a little bit better than how I said it, but it is the gist of what I was trying to say. Mistakenly calling something by a different name is not offensive however considering globalization and the general foodie vibe that’s going on here I just would hope people would at least try to learn the correct names and appreciate them, as they do make sense in the original language and to the people who prepare these foods for a living.

    I like saying spaghetti for all pasta 🙂 It’s how my mom did it and it makes me happy <3
    I want some of those Taro chips!!! Taro frozen yogurt is my favorite thing in the world.

    Since everyone has specified the pasta already, more specifically Paccheri come from Naples, which they pretty much ONLY eat with red sauce.

    Speaking of beer, I thought Matt might be interested in this story ( http://www.3news.co.nz/World-first-invention-promises-top-beer-in-7-days/tabid/420/articleID/206080/Default.aspx ) that was on the news tonight, supposedly some sort of revolutionary home brewing invention. 🙂

    Being from NJ near Phila, all of those things look very familiar! We have a rich tradition of Italian dishes and products around here. Dinner sounded perfect, minus the sausage. I have chick peas in the fridge that I cooked in the crock pot. Sounds like dinner tonight! Thanks for the idea!

    I love chips, especially kettle cooked–it is all about the crunch factor! Actually, chips are my downfall 🙂 I will have to find those chips.

    The pasta looks aaa-mazing!
