Hey Chef! This is Kami Nugent. I have been experimenting with Stevia most recently. It was one of the sweeteners we discussed in nutrition class this week. That stuff packs a punch of sweetness for such a small amount. One small individual packet for my coffee made my coffee much sweeter than I prefer it to be. There might have been 1/8 to 1/4 of a teaspoon in that packet. That went into about 12oz of coffee with milk. I'm going to try it in muffins this week and see how that comes out. I'm not sure if I can stand it regularly or not. I'm still trying to get over the aftertaste. I'm trying to cut down on my sugar intake starting with my coffee. I think that aside from caffine I eat way too much sugar. This Stevia is really strong stuff and I can't belive that it comes from a plant. It does not taste like a plant. I really like Agave Nectar as a sweetener but it has I think maybe more calories or just as much as sugar. It has a low glycemic index though and it's really yummy in coffee and smoothies. Aside from homemade Macaroni and Cheese which I love much better than that junk by kraft in a box that's all I have been cooking and experimenting with as of late. I'll let you know what those muffins taste like. Later!

The Demographics of Buying a Business

The Demographics of Buying a Business   A white paper published by BizBuySell recently covered the demographics of those buying a business.  It was fascinating reading with some of their key findings (quoted directly from page 2 of the report below). Business ownership runs in families: 55 percent of sellers have a parent or grandparent that owned a small business. 49 percent of sellers plan to exit their small businesses in the next five years, but only 29 percent are currently prepared for the sale process. Younger buyers are more ethnically diverse than their elders: 49 percent of 18 to 29 year-old buyers identify as a minority, compared to 19 percent of buyers in their 50s or older. The number one motivation for purchasing a small business is the chance to be your own boss, cited by 63 percent of all buyers. 12 percent of sellers and almost 10 percent of buyers are veterans. These are just the key findings of this report but there are many more findings we will describe an...

The fall season

Fall is a great time of year. Poached pears are magic. The idea of spring sweetened by the spice of fall garnished with the chill of winter ice cream. Chef Mark Mattern
