Once roasted, coffee beans start to lose flavor via oxidation. “Airtight is the way to go with coffee,” says Tim Schofield, Digital Marketing Manager of Ritual Coffee in San Francisco. “Basically, oxygen is enemy #1 when it comes to the freshness of a roasted coffee, as a process known as oxidation leads to stale or sour flavors by attacking the exterior surfaces of the bean.” This explains why ground coffee goes bad faster, as there’s more surface area for the coffee bean to oxidize....

Background – COVID and the canned tomato shortage When the COVID Pandemic first hit the shores of Australia and Sydney went into lockdown in March 2020, grocery store shelves were cleared of long shelf life items with a rush of panic buying. Things like pasta, dried beans, rice and all manner of canned goods. While canned tomato was one such item that was always sold out, tomato paste was still widely available....

We grew up with eggnog, the kind you buy in a carton, and every Christmas holiday we kids drank up as much of it as we could. I didn’t even know that eggnog was a “spiked” drink until well into my adult years! Even now, I prefer my eggnog only lightly boozed, if at all. So this recipe is only lightly spiked; feel free to increase the rum and bourbon to your heart’s delight, or omit altogether if it’s for the kids....

We decided to make turkey stroganoff with some of ours. Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish, popularized in America after World War II, which typically has beef and mushrooms served in a sour cream sauce. Turkey doesn’t have as strong a flavor as beef. So, this stroganoff improves with the addition of some leftover turkey gravy, and extra herbs such as thyme. Adjust the seasonings to your taste. In particular, depending on how salty your gravy was, you may need to add salt....

An herb or bitter of some sort is a bright addition too....

Mild peppadew peppers are slightly pickled and only a little bit hot. Look for them in jars or in bulk at the salad bar at your grocery store. You could also use sliced jalapenos from a jar if you want to really spice it up. Also look for green ripe olives from California in particular. These olives are milder in flavor than other varieties and have a firm, meaty texture that works well with the crunchy peppadews and the creamy avocado....
