Q: I’m getting to the age where standing at the counter making dinner for very long starts to give me lower back pain. My doctor recommended getting a restaurant floor mat or gel mat. Do these really work? Can anyone recommend a good one?

Although I mentioned that I always have three essentials in my road trip snack stash, I do appreciate a real meal now and again. Sure, peanut butter and jelly is easy enough, but when you want something more satisfying, think of packing some heartier food in canning jars. With mason jar meals, you can eat all the things! ALL THE THINGS! (Insert evil laughter here!)

“This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.”
In December of 2011 at about 3am, an electrical fire started in the top floor of Michele and Ryan’s beloved Seattle home. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the entire top floor of their home was destroyed, and the first floor badly damaged. Not ones to give in to misfortune, however, Michele and Ryan marched on, renovating and rewiring their entire home, which included new DIY exposed shelving in the kitchen!

Q: I recently purchased some fresh chamomile from the farmers market. The flower buds are present and the greens and roots are also still attached. They smelled so amazing I couldn’t resist. I can only find recipes for making tea with the flowers. Any ideas for using the whole plant?

I’ll never forget the time I bought some food souvenirs on a trip to Seattle, immediately popped them into the plastic zip-top bags I had brought with me, and the merchant chuckled and said, “You must be a visiting food blogger.” How did he know? Do all food lovers and bloggers carry plastic bags when they travel? I’m not sure, but I certainly do.
