Good News: Ingenuity &Kindness Abounds Locally and Globally

Because, we both are great in the kitchen, we have not availed ourselves of take out meals, or prepared ingredients type of fare.  However we recently made two meals that we felt required a touch of guacamole to give it that extra zing!  Our avocados needed a couple of days to ripen. 

 

We walked down to our local Mexican restaurant where we picked up a half of pint of guacamole.  They have the best guacamole in Carpinteria.  They are also selling all kinds of staples they use in their cooking as well as their extra large restaurant TP.  

 

You can glance at their bar menu in the photo, and I was drawn to the Patron Margarita to go in a Mason jar, as well as a Margarita kit! Both times, we left a tip, just because we appreciate that they are here and have found a way to still make money, and survive...

 

Ralph Lauren's restaurant in London is providing more than 25,000 meals to NHS (National Health Service) front-line workers in key London Hospitals.

 

In Taste of France, Michelin starred chefs in Savoie Mont Blanc are cooking meals for local hospitals.  In Annency, France, 5 Michelin starred chefs joined the party...How great is that considering that hospital food has such a terrible reputation!

 

Happy Friday to all, and we wish you a great weekend!

Morning Alexandra.

During this time, when we go through the drive-through or pick it up curbside, I leave a larger tip than usual

Good morning, Ron and Alexandra Seigel (A)... what a great act of kindness for "fine dining" restaurants to provide meals to hospital workers...there's nothing better.

Good morning Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I think it is important to share this good news about how people are helping people.  The chef at a local restaurnt in Armonk  is offering ingredients for a great meal and then having you join online to join in with cooking.  I love it.

Hello Alexandra and Ron - I have noticed creative thinking on display in many ways as restaurants adapt to changing times.  A good lesson for each of us to incorporate into our daily lives.  No, not margaritas necessarily but an extra shot of ingenuity.

Good morning Alexandra. Restaurants are being hit hard. Not a fan of takeout, we are becoming fans and leaving big tips to show our appreciation for those putting themselves at risk! Enjoy your day!

It's wonderful, Alexandra, how many restaurants in so many cities, including Charlotte, have stepped up to help those on the front lines, those who are in need with free meals. The generosity I'm seeing these days is indescribable.

Hmm, it was mentioned that the margarita kit intrigued you, but did your purchase it to enjoy with your meal?

Brian England I found the kit idea creative and ingenious! The last time I had a Margarita was when my mother was still alive.  Her name was Marguerite, and she loved having one...Ron and I split one to keep her company...We rarely have hard liquor, we prefer wine.  A

I'm glad you shared this ingenuity with us Alexandra. Our poor restaurants are really taking a beating and I doubt many will not be able to return...

Happy Saturday Ron and Alexandra Seigel

I truly love hearing about all of the ways people are doing things to help out right now. And, especially the way small establishments are being innovative. How wonderful that you gave this restaurant some business.

Hi Ron and Alexandra- People are coming up with ways to work through all of this!!!  Our restaurants here are also selling extra staples, which helps everyone. Yesterday one of the restaurant owners in one of the Villages in Houston decided it was time to get everyone working. He met with the mayor of Hedwig Village, showed him his plan and opened last night. His menus are on paper that will be thrown away. the waitstaff has masks and gloves. And seating is limited.

Like you Alexandra I live in the kitchen and now days Diane would be very reluctant to got even for Take Out unless it was Michelin rated and that would be a sin for take out:))Endre

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Tell Bernie they chop cilantro stems very fine and add it to their guacamole along with tomatillos!  They also chop in some cilantro leaves, but the crunch and taste is in the the stems.  A
