Falafel with Tzatziki Sauce
By .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), 01-29-12
 

I really love a great falafel and here in Montana it would seem like this would be impossible to find. For those of you unfamiliar with this dish, falafel is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas or fava beans that is usually served with pita bread. Wildly popular throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa for years, starting off as a meat substitute during Lent, these delicious fritters can now be found all over the world in both restaurants and as street food. In this recipe we will garnish them with a tangy Greek style yogurt sauce know as tzatziki.

Paddles and Palettes
By .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), 01-18-12
 

Some artists put their work on canvases, others use walls. And some, like Matt Springer, use paddles.

Springer and five other Montana artists have painted, carved and decorated six paddles for an annual benefit dinner and auction sponsored by the Tamarack Grief Resource Center on Jan. 19 in Whitefish. The dinner and auction will fund scholarships for children who have lost a family member, so that they can attend A Camp to Remember on Flathead Lake.
