Description: The recipe calls for arborio rice, an Italian-grown rice that is high in starch, with grains that are shorter and fatter than any other rice. The high starch content of aborio rice yields a creamy texture when cooked, so it is traditionally used for risotto

Description: Pozole is a traditional soup or stew of Mexico, from pre Columbian days. The name is derived from the Nahuatl potzolli and the stew is made with hominy and pork or chicken. Light and healthful, pozole is also a common Mexican cure for a hangover, ironic in that it is also traditionally enjoyed with mezcal.
Description: This is a soup that I've loved whenever we have gone to a chinese restaurant, and now I can say that I know how to make this with my eyes closed:)

Description: Farmers Markets are year round on Tuesdays in my hometown, Concord. Tuesdays are great to go with your kids in the afternoon, but Thursday nights are where it's at with the live music, and there is nothing like the warm air and eating some fresh, organic strawberries or fresh squeezed Lemon-ginger juice. There is a wide range of options from teriyaki chicken, french brioche, mediterranean foods, to all local, organic vegetables and fruit. There are free garages around the town square, so bring the family.
