Sugar Season
In Northern New Hampshire, seasons don’t last months, they last a few weeks at most. There’s deer season, turkey season, calving season, lamb season, the second month of January (February), and more important than all the rest (at least to me) is maple sugar season. Sugaring can last anywhere from a few days to 4 weeks, and run anywhere from late February to mid-April. For syrup sellers, a few days covers about a tank of gas, whereas a month-long season covers your property taxes and that trip somewhere warm and sandy that they’ve been eyeing for a few years. People call out of work, families gather, tall tales are told, and new ones are woven in the warmth, steam, and scent of the sugar house.

Chocolate Cake Is the Most Popular Cake
Every year on January 27th, people around the country celebrate National Chocolate Cake Day. Almost everyone loves chocolate cake because it is so delicious. It has been the most popular cake since Pillsbury introduced the flavor in 1948. Before then, there were only a few flavors of cake mixes such as yellow, white, spice, and ginger, made by General Mills. The mixes were very easy for cooks to use because all they had to do was to add water, mix, and bake.

Instant Pot Spaghetti
There's a little known fact about me: Spaghetti is my favorite meal. People are often surprised when I tell them this. After all spaghetti is so basic and simple and boring. Cue me being offended. Ha ha, not actually. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and tastes. My opinion just happens to be that spaghetti is amazing.

Eat Play Stay Spain - A Story of Tapas Part 6 - Chorizo...
Pronounced chor-eetho this famous Spanish sausage is traditionally made from pork and flavoured with pimentón, smoked paprika, which gives it the deep red colour so easily identified with the Chorizo sausage. There are regional variations on the recipe, it may be smoked or unsmoked, mild or spicy and have other ingredients for flavouring such as wine or garlic. There are two main types of chorizo, an air-dried sausage which is sliced and eaten as it is and then there are fresh chorizo sausages, called cooking chorizo that must be cooked before eating. This sausage, whichever variety you have, is so versatile and so very tasty. Slices of air dried Chorizo in a sandwich is delectable, cooked in stew quite divine and as a tapa pure heaven... And according to this next famous story King Carlos IV of Spain thought so too...

How to Make Scrambled Eggs (Super Easy)
Ingredients: 3 eggs 50g butter (or to taste) Salt Pepper Method Mix your eggs and butter (I use Lurpak butter) together in a bowl until they begin to mix together. You will probably still have lumps of butter in the mixture but that is fine. DO NOT SEASON as it will ruin the constancy of the eggs. Turn on the heat on your cooker to heat up the pan. I usually set it to the highest it will go to. Wait until the pan has heated up. Take your pan off the heat then add your eggs and butter to the pan. You will see it begin to cook immediately, so you want to start mixing with a spatula as soon as you add the mixture. Put the pan on and off the heat to make sure the eggs never get too hot and overcook the eggs and continue to mix constantly. The eggs will be done as soon as they look light and fluffy and do not bounce back when you move them with the spatula. As soon as they are cooked take them out of the pan and place them onto what you intend to serve them on, otherwise they will continue to cook and will become rubbery. Season to taste. I use salt and pepper.

Eat Play Stay Spain - A Story of Tapas Part 5 - Pimientos de Padrón...
Pimientos de Padrón or Padrón peppers are named after the municipality of Padrón where they are grown. Padrón is in in the province of A Coruña, in Galicia, northwestern Spain and these small green peppers are mild in taste but a small amount will be quite spicy which is what makes these peppers so unusual. It is said to be down to not only how much water and sunlight they receive but strangely how they are watered. It is believed that if just the roots are watered then mild pimientos will grow but if the whole plant is watered then they will end up being spicy. However there is no actual knowing as to whether what you are about to taste will be spicy or mild, it is literally a Russian roulette of tasting...
