ENJOYING THE great outdoors doesn't mean giving up the accoutrements of fine dining.
Instead of toting that cumbersome pepper mill out into the wild, pack The Daily Grinder Cap from McCormick/Schilling.
This handy plastic gadget won't corrode on the boat and won't rust when stored with the camping gear.
For those who want to know if freshly ground spices are worth the cost of an expensive grinder, the $1.79 pricetag won't break the bank.
The only downside we've found: The Daily Grinder won't fit on the bottles of most other brands of spices. But who's going to know if you invest in a few McCormick bottles and refill them at your local co-op or warehouse store?
Look for The Daily Grinder at the commissary and area supermarkets. Shoppers pitch in
Farmer Jack, at Newtown and Baker roads in Virginia Beach, is sponsoring another "Round Up," a fund-raiser where customers can round up their food bill to the nearest dollar, and the extra cents are donated to a worthy cause.
Last year, the store's customers gave nearly $13,000 to the Princess Anne High School Fire Relief Fund. This time, the Chesapeake Fire Department Memorial Fund will benefit from donations received before May 11. What's new in Dutch cheeses
YOU'RE PROBABLY familiar with Gouda and Edam, but if you think those are the only cheeses The Netherlands has to offer, think again.
Now there's Miland, a low-fat Gouda for the health-conscious, and Parrano, which combines the bite of an aged Parmesan with the texture of a smooth Gouda.
The Netherlands is the featured country for this year's Azalea Festival in Norfolk. So the Dutch Chamber of Commerce will demonstrate products at area Farm Fresh stores Sunday and April 18 through 21.
Check out the new products at the 21st Street and Wards Corner locations in Norfolk, the Western Branch store in Chesapeake, and on Great Neck Road and at 2868 Virginia Beach Blvd. in Virginia Beach. The Marketplace store on 21st Street in Norfolk also will have demonstrations.
Here are a few recipes from the Dutch Dairy Bureau in New York and UnieKaas, a Dutch cheese manufacturer. Benefit of chocolate
Chocolate is a major source of dietary copper, a mineral needed to form red blood cells and carry impulses to the brain, according to a study from the University of Nebraska and reported in Environmental Nutrition, a health newsletter.
But don't scarf down the cookies yet. The fat content does more harm than the copper content does good. ILLUSTRATION: Color photo
