Crumb Cake And Pickles: 5 Things To Do This Weekend
August 1st, 20081 It’s sick, I know, but hot weather always makes me crave hot food.
2 There is nothing nicer than a late weekend breakfast. How about crumb cake?
3 I’m dying to try this recipe for the Italian flat bread, farinata.
4 It’s time to start planning those last summer parties. But before finalizing the food, be sure to check out out the New York Public Library’s collection of menus. They range from this 1851 hotel menu to a 1956 menu for the Brooklyn Dodgers’ welcome home dinner.
5 My favorite pickles aren’t made with vinegar. Now that cukes are showing up at the farmstands, why not try fermenting some?

Not all brown sugars are white sugar + molasses. Wholesome Sweeteners’ brown sugars are evaporated to different concentrations… and they’re vegan, unlike most commercial sugars.
