THE BETTERDAY WEEKLY
What Alberta is eating this week.
Some weeks call for bold flavors and zero effort in the kitchen, and this one delivered on both counts. From the tangy ginger-lime punch of the Vietnamese Tofu Salad Roll Remix to the cozy, slow-simmered depth of Bolognese-y Does It, your September 27th spread covered serious ground. Here's a look at everything that made this week's menu worth savoring.
This week’s most popular dishes.
The whole week on a plate.
Peanuts.
The snack that plants itself.
Peanuts are legumes, so they're family with peas and beans more than almonds or walnuts. The plant flowers above ground, then the flower stalk bends down and pushes into the soil, which is where every peanut actually grows. We respect a snack with that kind of follow-through!
Peanuts have a standing job at NASA. In 1964, after six missions in a row failed to reach the moon, someone at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory passed around a jar of peanuts, and Ranger 7 finally made it. Engineers there still crack open a jar before big landings, so peanuts are pretty much the official snack of moon parties.
