We had it with the simplest sauce of butter, wild mushrooms, butter, cream, garlic, chili flakes, butter, and a squeeze of lemon with parmesan and parsley sprinkled over the top (along with a pat of butter on my serving).http://whatbrookedoes.com/post/32775637http://whatbrookedoes.com/post/32775637Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:17:47 -0400<iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/23934009#23934009" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> <p>This segment on Velocity aired on msnbc over the weekend. I remember reading an article on John and Lara, which had been featured in Sunset Magazine years before I started working at Velocity, that made me really admire them and Velocity. Now that I am an integral part of the company, it is so refreshing to look at us from the outside perspective again. I really love seeing how we are portrayed in the media and knowing what its like on the inside. </p> <p> I also love how John’s school teacher background, which plays into so many articles on Velocity, keeps reminding me of <a href="http://www.airbornehealth.com/about_history.php" target="_blank">Airborne</a> “created by a school teacher”. This is so funny to me because Daryn HATES the airborne commercials (which run primarily during Jeopardy), so I always add “but it was created by a school teacher” whenever I offer him anything I already know he doesn’t like. </p>http://whatbrookedoes.com/post/31108085http://whatbrookedoes.com/post/31108085Tue, 08 Apr 2008 01:38:25 -0400<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-77.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="300" width="400" style="width: 400px;height: 300px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-77.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=1513209474804581495&site=widget-77.slide.com" /></object><br/><br/>We were so excited to find Beecher’s flagship cheddar on our most recent trip to Costco. We turned it into gooey grilled cheese sandwiches on the first night, and I made my famous mac n cheese with the rest of it on the second night.
