Celebrating the Year of the Farmer with Ginger Teriyaki Sliders

March 14, 2013 by 14 Comments


Ginger Teriyaki Sliders

Since 2009, Ohio hog farmers have been actively involved in the fight against hunger. They have donated more than 750,000 meals to Ohio foodbanks. For Easter this year, the Ohio Pork Producers Council is making it easy for all of us to make sure that no child, adult or senior in Ohio goes hungry.

For each visit to the Ohio hog farmer’s YouTube video “Pork from Fork to Farm”, the Ohio Pork Producers Council and its partners will will donate one pound of ground pork to Ohio’s foodbanks.

Thanks to the donations from Farm Credit Services of Mid-America, the Ohio Corn Marketing Program, and other farmers and businesses, Ohio Pork Producers Council will be able to provide up to 35,000 pounds of ground pork to foodbanks in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo.

In celebration of the Farmer, I made Ginger Teriyaki Sliders for dinner yesterday. My kids enjoyed them and I enjoyed being able to make dinner in under 30 minutes. What are some of your favorite pork meals?

Please visit the farmer’s YouTube video and support families this Easter. We can all make this a grand celebration for everyone.

Beer, Bites and Blogging at the 5B Conference

February 17, 2013 by 4 Comments

5BConference

Saturday, I spoke about Google+ at the 5B Conference, also known as the believers in better beer, bites and blogging. Hoperatives in conjunction with Cincy Winter Beerfest, host the conference and did a great job of putting together a great line up of speakers. Attendees were treated to great conversation and lots of good information about beer blogging, food blogging and general blogging. During the lunch hour, we are treated to a special beer that was a happy accident. Instead of being aged for six months, it was aged for a year. Ends up it was well received by the conference attendees.

I attended sessions on Pinterest, combating blogging fatigue and using photography to tell a story. Regardless of how much you think you know about any particular subject, you can always learn more if you are open. This is one of the best things about attending a conference and attending one that is not in your usual area of expertise or interest. This is definitely a conference I will look into attending next year and maybe I will be able to hear more from the beer bloggers. They are a great group of people.

Actively Looking for Daily Surprises

November 20, 2012 by 2 Comments

I know a lot of people do not like Mondays, but I find I am kind of fond of them. They offer a fresh start to a new week, an opportunity to try something different and set the tone for the rest of the week. Today, I was greeted by an entryway full of pigs. Sculptures, actually and I could not resist capturing them in a photo. It literally had me giddy, as I knew how lucky I was to be exposed to art on a daily basis.

This and much of the art I see around me are pleasant surprises. What daily surprises are you excited about?
