Foodies Freebie: October 2012 Desktop Calendar

Can you believe that September is almost gone? With everything turning into beautiful orange and brown colors in the US, here in Guate we just get a little bit of more rain and chill than usual. One of the things that we absolutely love about the fall season are Pumpkins. Since we don’t get these gorgeous pumpkins just yet, our favorite Guest Foodie Jake Van Ness from Prepressology took this gorgeous picture for us. We have some great surprises for you this fall… You’re going to love them! In the meantime, here is the October 2012 Desktop

Foodies Freebie: September 2012 Desktop Calendar

It’s Independence month in Guatemala, so for the September 2012 Desktop we featured  little handicraft baskets that are a staple in our country. They come in different shapes and sizes. Usually, you see them used as bread baskets,  some of them are small as a lime like the ones in our photograph.  They were all tied together from the handle and placed around a candle as a decorative item at a restaurant’s table.

We have some great Guatemalan inspired and Guatemalan classic recipes for you this month, make sure to keep checking back with us :)

Foodies Freebie: August 2012 Desktop Calendar

For our August 2012 Desktop we feature Basil. The classic herb of summer, basil brings fragrance, beauty, and flavor to any garden. Used fresh, it makes delicious pestos and is an ideal partner for homegrown tomatoes. It’s highly fragrant leaves are used as a seasoning herb for a variety of foods but has become ever popular as the main ingredient in pesto, the mixture of basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese.

Basil is commonly used fresh in cooked recipes. In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. It is one of the main ingredients in pesto—a green Italian oil-and-herb sauce. When soaked in water, the seeds of several basil varieties become gelatinous, and are used in Asian drinks and desserts such as sherbet.

Remember that a little over two months ago I went to visit Jake for a few days? Well this picture comes also from Saratoga Farmer’s Market. Like I said, the produce is gorgeous!
