Three days of work, four hundred and twenty three feet of glitter garland, a whole bunch of crepe paper, and some stuffed pigs and chickens did the trick: Hot From The Kettle won first place for best float yesterday at Montclair's annual Fourth of July Parade.

Team #hftk, Mike Sondey, John Lee, Elizabeth Palmer Starnes, Mr. Hot, and myself, send a patriotic "congratulations" to all participants in the parade.  What a legendary day!

Top Five List: Unexpected Uses for Sriracha

by Elizabeth Palmer Starnes


This little green and red bottle has taken over tables and fridges all over town.  Seemingly ubiquitous for culinary junkies, Sriracha is now popping up in more mainstream places every day.  Sriracha, in all its spicy, potent glory, has uses far beyond the Asian cuisine from which it came.
