This is a sponsored post written by me in conjunction with Winesellers, Ltd. Samples were provided for this post and this page may contain affiliate links.     This year the World Wine Travel bloggers are doing a deep dive into the wine regions of Spain. When I offered to host's July event, I had initially picked the topic of the Canary Islands. But wines were tough to source and, then, one of my contacts at Winesellers, Ltd. and I were discussing Spanish hard ciders. I asked the group's leadership if I could pick something still fermented, but not made with grapes; he agreed. You can read my invitation here . And, through Winesellers, Ltd, some bloggers in our group received a variety of ciders to sample. If you are reading this early enough, feel free to jump in on our live chat. We meet on Twitter on Saturday, July 24th at 8am Pacific time. Follow hashtag #WorldWineTravel and be sure to add it to anything you tweet so we can see it.  Here are the articles the writers a...

  Though I have shared how to make shrunken apple heads in previous posts, we decided to create a Shrunken (Apple) Head video for the Culinary Cam YouTube channel this weekend. So, I am creating an updated blogpost and you can watch the clip here . It was a quick, easy, and fun family activity to get us ready for Halloween. That new hashtag - #CulinaryCam - will appear on all my blogposts that have a YouTube accompaniment. Ingredients medium-sized apples water juice from one citrus fruit (I used limes in this case because that's what I had) also needed: knives, peeler, wire rack that fits over a baking sheet Procedure Prepare a bowl with water and lime juice. Peel the apples and carve the faces in each apple. Then drop the creations in the water bath.  They don't need to be perfect. Remember you're baking them and they will shrivel. So, imperfect is perfect! Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat apples dry and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.  Bake for...
