Later, in honor of the snow (yeah, right) I had a Lemon Drop Martini with ice in my Maxwell glass!


Then dinner was some roasted bell peppers and an Omaha steak cooked (fried) in the Air Fryer... I put the peppers and the steak in bags and added in olive oil and Lawry's Garlic Salt and mixed them well....





12 minutes in the Air Fryer.... then into a oven on low to keep warm.... 

16 minutes in the Air Fryer......


I had made some Harry & David Risotto. I cooked that first....


You put butter in a pan to melt, heat the chicken stock and then dump the risotto mix on top of the butter, stir for a couple minutes, add 1/2 cup white wine to deglaze and then when evaporated, add in 1/2 cup of the hot stock one at a time, stirring until absorbed. Then I put it all in the rice cooker to finish and keep warm....


OMGOSH......... SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!



All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

NATIONAL CEREAL DAY

Get your bowl and your spoon ready for March 7 is National Cereal Day. Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has become America’s most popular breakfast food

Now, not only is cereal eaten for breakfast, it has become a popular bedtime snack, and some people even have a bowl for an evening meal.  Cereal is also used in many cake, cookie and bar recipes. The most popular one is Rice Crispy Bar Treats.
A Little Cereal History:
**  Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, began the cereal revolution in 1854 with a hand oats grinder in the back room of a small store in Akron, Ohio. His German Mills American Oatmeal Company was the nation’s first commercial oatmeal manufacturer.  In 1877, Schumacher adopted the Quaker symbol, the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal.
**  Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was invented in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, operator of Our Home on the Hillside, which was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York.  The cereal never became popular since it was inconvenient as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat.
**  The cereal industry rose from a combination of sincere religious beliefs and commercial interest in health foods.  Dr. John Harvey Kellogg experimented with granola.  He boiled some wheat, rolled it into thin films, and baked the resulting flakes in the oven; he acquired a patent in 1891.  In 1895 he launched Cornflakes, which overnight captured a national market.
**  In 1906, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s  brother, William K. Kellogg, after working for John, broke away, bought the corn flakes rights from his brother and set up the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Company.  His signature on every package became the company trademark and insurance of quality.
**  Charles W. Post introduced Grape-nuts in 1898 and soon followed with Post Toasties.
**  Because of Kellogg and Post, the city of Battle Creek, Michigan is nicknamed the “Cereal Capital of the World”.
