From Grandma's Kitchen: Irish Apple Tart

I’d like to take the opportunity to clear up an unfortunate misconception. Irish food. Let’s get into it.

Most people think Irish food is rather…blah. In fact, when I went over to Ireland a few years ago, I was warned by more than one person about how awful it would be.  Those people had clearly never been to Ireland. Or, at least not outside of a pub in Dublin.

My Plate, Your Passport: First Taste of the Cider Summit

Cider is something new to me, though I do not drink much. 

I’m slowly making my way up to the 4.99 bottle of vino at Trader Joe’s almost three years out of Northwest Indiana. The Cider Summit at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom gave me the chance to sample something I was totally unfamiliar with.

The Summit, which took place on Saturday Feb 7th, gave me a chance to try ciders of different types from around the globe. My game plan was to try at least three kinds: scrumpy, cider, and ice cider.
