I’m a little bit behind on this post…mostly because I’m Puerto Rican...and we do nothing on time. I wanted to include one of my newly found favorite things to do! SWAP FOOD!
As of Fall 2010, I have hosted a couple Swaps with a few friends who can really cook it up! The basics of this idea is to pick a certain food item, cuisine or means of cooking, make six batches of it and share with the group. During the actual gathering, all the food is layed out, ingredients, accessories and cooking methods are discussed, each is sampled and then you choose six of your favorite dishes! Easy Peasy! You bring six and you go home with six (and maybe throw in a few shots of FourLoco in there). Talk about upgrading your lunches!
We started with a Soup Swap and man was it a hit! The “swap group” is excited and I think we started something really special.
Some of the soups shared were a Butternut Squash Soup with Pear and Thyme, Provencal-style Stew, Red Chicken Soup, my Potato Leek Soup, Split Pea with Ham, French Onion Soup and so many other delicious warm treats!
We even got a shout out from the Philadelphia City Paper’s own food blogger and Meal Ticket creator Drew Lazor who also participated in the swap! What? What? Que? Que?
Updates on the 2nd Swap to come!
