Green Glaze all about pottery
WHY BUY FANCY pottery when you can make your own and give it a personal touch?
A good aerator can make all the difference
According to the Persian legend of King Jamshid, wine was discovered about 8,000 years ago. The story goes that the king banished one of his harem girls after she had angered him. The harem girl became so distraught that she searched for something to end her life. Finding a box of old, rotten grapes, labeled “poison” in the kitchen cupboard - she took a deep drink. To her surprise, she started to feel quite happy and no longer wanted to end her life. The harem girl took her discovery to the king - who also tested the grape liquid. After he, too, became quite cheerful, he proclaimed that from that day forward, all grapes grown in his kingdom would be grown for the sole purpose of making wine.
Treasures don’t cost much

A recipe for your holiday leftovers
The main goal of advertising is to entice you to purchase a specific product. In order to increase your purchase of said product, recipes are often listed on the label. In a different move, Unilever, the manufacturer of Best Foods Mayonnaise—known as Hellmann’s east of the Rocky Mountains—cross promotes its product with a commercial for a recipe. This week, I feature the recipe currently being promoted just in time to make use of your Thanksgiving leftovers.
