Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the year of the Rat!
Talking kosher today on the Splendid Table, Lynne Rosetto Casper hosted Jane and Michael Stern.
Landlocked Tucson is home to a true deli, Feig’s, lucky for Arizona’s desert rats. Feig’s has my favorite not-quite-pickle – half sours. I wouldn’t give up true pickles for their quasi-selves, but the half sour is so terrifically crunchy and noisy.
Learned a little something from Dorie Greenspan on the show today. Odor. Specifically, what it is. Odor is the smell you get when you breathe something directly through your nose. Only your nose. Mmmmm.
And then we have smell, scent, perfume, bouquet and aroma. All good. All stinky. Brings you nose to nose with life.
