A man collapsed in the lentil aisle at the local supermarket. Fortunately, when the paramedics arrived, they found a pulse. Ok, that cornball intro may not have you in stitches, especially if you weren’t aware that a ‘pulse’ is the nutritionally-dense edible seed of a legume – in this case, the lentil. It’s our topic […]

Some of my favourite TV spots were those “Ditch the Shell” pistachio commercials featuring a cranky turtle besting a pair of clueless ad execs. I may not prefer my pistachios “sans shell” but I do appreciate the cornball humour! Indeed, removing the shell is all part of the experience, and the extra effort not only

The summer heat has been steady over the past several weeks, but I’m not complaining. Ditto for when I was a kid during the “dog days” of summer when the sweltering weather was often at its peak. Back then, helping us through the high temps were a variety of frozen treats, with some squeezed through

When Vince’s first announced Southlake Foundation as the recipient of our Community Product Initiative, we were just taking the first steps on the road to recovery. It was the middle of winter, COVID-19 lockdown measures were strict, and vaccinations had just begun. Six months later, the weather has not only improved, but mass vaccinations have

The recent heat wave has reminded me there are some days you just don’t want to turn on the oven or stovetop, much less fire up the grill. Adding heat to the household (while taxing the A/C), or flipping burgers over a propane-powered ‘blast furnace’ isn’t my idea of fun. Which is why lunches and
