Today we are pleased to share two interesting tidbits that the staff at Diners.org came across.

The first off is the “Spices and Tease” booth at Union Square on 14th Street. While normally this company is at their store on 2580 Broadway, they occasionally come out to promote their teas, spices, and related goods at a sidewalk booth.
That's alot of teas and spices
Ask not why we are wondering around Union Square at night.
What is great about this is the aroma of the tea lives and spices. Unlike the bottled and bagged produce you find at your supermarket, S&T showcase theirs in open metal bowls. The S&T staff was more than willing to let us smell samples and see the quality of what they are selling.
The scents was amazing.
They also sell the teapots for brewing
It was good enough that one of the staff members (our web admin) actually bought a bagful. His testimony the next day was pretty much what we expected: “Amazing.”
Hooray for cellphone cameras!

The other tidbit we came across is this awesome recipe for… Waffle Eggs.

Mmmmm. It looks great doesn’t it?
The Novice Chef blog’s writer “Jessica” came across the idea of making a Croque Madame (a style of poached eggs) in a wafflemaker. It is little innovations like this that brings a smile to the Diners.org staff.
Jessica’s recipe is a multi-step process; in that you prepare your bread (croissant), cook your slice of ham, and then cook your egg in the same wafflemaker.
