It’s fruit trivia time! Which fruit originated in China 4,000 years ago and is a relative of the peach? Your first guess might be the nectarine, right? It is, in fact, the petite and beloved apricot- a fruit rich in vitamins A & C. It made its way slowly westward from China, through the Mediterranean, and finally over to North America, where it mainly settled in California. California produces 95% of our country’s apricots. Yum!

How do you want to enjoy an apricot today?

  • Grab your fruit knife and cut yourself a fresh slice
  • Make a yummy tart or homemade preserves
  • Have an afternoon snack of dried apricots

The first week of January is New Year’s Resolutions Week.

The second week of this January is National Pizza Week.

This seems to be an ambiguous combination for the month of January.

Usually a list of resolutions include eating “less” of something. Can you imagine a list of resolutions including “eating more pizza”? Now that’s my kind of new year’s resolution. If I adopted that as a resolution, I’d have to also add these:

  1. Walk or run 10 miles a day
  2. Swim 50 laps a day
  3. Bike 20 miles a day
  4. Cut out all sweets for the month

Whew! And now I’m too tired to eat anything. Once I get my composure back, I

can use my fruit knife for 2 purposes.

  • to cut up some juicy healthful Fruit,
  • and of course, cut up the delicious Pizza.

An American-Made Cutlery Fillet Knife Fit for a French Fisherman

Did you do your meal planning for the week yet? Maybe a Pasta Monday, Taco Tuesday, Pizza Wednesday, Quiche Thursday, and a Bouillabaisse Friday. Wait, Bouill-a-what? Even the most seasoned home chef might not know exactly what a bouillabaisse is, so here you go: it is a fish stew that French fishermen created in the port city of Marseille. The name of the stew comes from “to boil” and “to simmer.”

You can really use any variety of fresh fish and shellfish in the stew, and simmer them with tomatoes, potatoes, celery, and onions. Don’t forget to serve a warm grilled baguette on the side with a traditional French spicy mayonnaise called rouille.

And since the most important ingredient in this fish stew is fish, don’t forget to sharpen your American-Made Cutlery fillet knife before you chop up your ingredients.

Happy cooking and eating!
