Dear Leanne,
I know it's hard to believe, but it's time to put 2011 to bed. (Where did the time go?) For many, 2011 was a year of happiness, frustrations, new beginnings and sorrow, so let's just say good by to the past and look forward to a better year, shall we?
And the food, I know I ate too much, how about you?? To start off the New Year we have a menu special we hope will help with any resolutions or just make you fee better!
Sincerely,
Leanne Pomellitto - CEO

Cure for the common cold? Maybe it's yogurt
Colds, sinus infections, and other upper respiratory tract infections are the leading reason for visits to the doctor in the United States. But according to a study reported by Yahoo News, eating yogurt could help you avoid a cold.
Yogurt contains probiotics-bacteria that can benefit the body's immune system. In addition to yogurt, probiotics are found in fermented and non-fermented dairy products and in soy products like miso and soy drinks. A review of data involving more than 3,000 participants found that patients who consumed foods with probiotics for more than one week came down with 12 percent fewer upper respiratory infections than those who were treated with a placebo, or who ate probiotic foods for less than a week.

 A Mouth-Watering History of the Lobster
Does the thought of lobster make you salivate? Lobsters have been an important menu item in fine restaurants for years. But the pricey crustacean wasn't always so upper-crust.
Up until the 1800s, lobster was chiefly consumed by the lower classes-the poor, indentured servants, and people in prisons and mental institutions. In colonial America, there were even laws against feeding lobster to inmates more than once a week, and employment agreements often specified that servants would not have to eat lobster more than twice a week.
One reason was probably because lobsters were so abundant on the East Coast. The Plymouth pilgrims, according to some stories, could wade into the water and capture more than they wanted by hand. After great storms, so much lobster washed ashore that it was ground up and used as fertilizer.
It wasn't until the mid-19th century that New Yorkers and Bostonians developed a taste for lobsters, and commercial lobster fisheries flourished only after the development of the lobster smack, a boat with a large open holding well on deck that allowed live lobsters to be shipped.
The largest lobster ever caught, by the way, was found off Nova Scotia. It was 3.5 feet long from the tip of its tail to the end of its crusher claw, and weighed 44 pounds, 6 ounces.

 '3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .We have icing!'
With some innovative thinking (and some special effects), you can make an ordinary assignment something spectacular.
Case in point: Buddy Valastro, star of TLC's "Cake Boss" TV show, was given the assignment of creating a space shuttle cake for NASA commemorating the retirement of the space agency's shuttle program.
Not content to simply bake a cake in the space of a rocket ship, the Cake Boss asked some associates to design a cake that would actually blast off. With the help of a lift and some very convincing fiery rocket engines, the cake actually rose from its launch pad to the applause of the crowd for a very inspiring display of creativity and inventiveness.

 Sometimes a hug trumps a fight
The next time your small child throws a temper tantrum, try giving him or her a hug instead of a lecture. You might be surprised at how effective a hug can be in quieting a child in the midst of a meltdown.
Hugs can defuse a child's hurt or anger, making it easier for him or her to listen to what you have to say. Once calm, your child can take part in a larger discussion about the problem and his or her behavior. Children do better when they feel secure and loved, no matter what.
