Pizza Therapy Supports Japan

Kamalei and I have been discussing the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

We've watched the pictures and the news. We have been very saddened.

Here in Hawaii we have many Japanese friends. Many of our friends have family and loved ones in Japan.

We thought there must be someway we can help.

The result is the following video. We dedicate this to all of our friends in Japan.

Thousands of lives were lost. Those who survived lost everything. In addition to losing loved ones, they lost houses, their cars, their jobs: everything.

Here is the video:




You can contact the charities that are supporting efforts in Japan:

Red Cross Here

Global Giving 

Doctors Without Borders

Salvation Army

Save the Children

Thank-you for all of your support.

Sincerely,

Albert Grande,

Helpful Food Tips and Tricks

Who knew that separating bananas from the bunch would make them ripen slower?

Storing opened cheese in aluminum foil will keep the cheese fresher and retard mold growth.

Most of the pizzas I make use cheese. I love my Parmesan, mozzarella, asagio, pepecorino and provolone. and of course, a key ingredient for My Blue Heaven Pizza, is Gorgonzola. There are countless cheeses you can use on your pizza.

The advice is to not use plastic wrap for your cheese. I never knew that. I always store cheese in plastic wrap. That includes my Parmesan cheese, and especially Gorgonzola. Now Gorgonzola is naturally moldy, but the plastic wrap has been causing the the mold to grow faster.

I guess I learned my lesson.


How about this: look for the number of bumps on the bottom of your peppers. By counting the bumps you can determine that there is a difference in the taste of peppers.

The tips about garlic are the most revealing: if you want a light taste of garlic, add it at the beginning of a recipe. If you want a stronger taste, add your garlic at the end of the recipe.

This video contains some great tips...
