The Finger Lakes Are About More Than Riesling

foodandwine.com

Nestled in central New York between the Catskill Mountains and Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes AVA (American viticultural area) takes its name from a collection of eleven spindly bodies of water that affect the area’s climate and terroir, turning it into a prime location for prestige winemaking.

Planning a Super Bowl Party

Super bowl means football, fun, food, and friends. All of this adds up to a party at your place.

Have your guest list in hand and issue the invites. This can be oral, texts, emails, or using a site like Evite. Be sure you have at least the basic details like whether you will provide all the food and drink or whether it will be pot luck, snacks to share, or bring your own beverage. Especially include whether it is adults only or if children are welcome. Read More.

Winter Bird Watching

In the Finger Lakes area there are a number of bird species that do not fly south during the winter. Some smaller birds like chickadees move into a short-term hybernation called torpor. Their bodies adjust to the temperature through reduced heart rates and slower metabolism. Read More.

Baking in an Air Fryer

Many people don’t realize that their air fryer is great for a lot more than a batch of wings. It is actually a small version of a convection oven, which is why it can cook so quickly. Because it has a smaller capacity than your standard oven, you will need to work in scaled down versions, but you can certainly bake a loaf of bread, some biscuits, or cookies, basically anything that needs a crispy outer layer but soft interior. Be cautious about anything that will greatly increase in size as it bakes, like a yeast bread. Metal pans will offer the best chance at even heat, as opposed to a glass bowl that will conduct heat slowly at its bottom. Read More.
