When the air turns crisp and the lights start twinkling around town, it’s a sign that the holidays are a comin’. That means rich soups, yummy apps, and mouth-watering pies and other desserts. And for beer lovers, that includes the long-awaited return of Christmas Ale. Spicy, malty, and just a little bit magical, these winter […]
As we get closer to the holidays, and the fun gift giving, (I love giving gifts, and don’t mind receiving as well!!), I’m always on the prowl for new family games. (If you have any suggestions, please email me @ skowalski@khtheat.com). Hitting the “game” aisle, it’s not uncommon to see so many of the classics […]
One of the most fun, a bit quirky, but oh so good snacks out there are – pickles. Crispy, crunchy, tangy, salty, dilly, yummy, and sometimes sweet, whole, spears, or chips, pickles are one of those foods most of us love… (you either can’t get enough of them… or you politely slide them off your […]
There are so many things that we take for granted that just seem to go nicely together – coffee and cream, peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, chips and dips, cheese and crackers, and of course, salt and pepper. Watching Jackie cook in the kitchen, I noticed how she measured some ingredients, but also […]
Today marks one of my favorite celebrations of the year – Halloween. I have so many great memories as a kid – picking out my costumes, decorating the house, running the neighborhood with my siblings and buddies, making sure the neighbors 10 doors down could hear us yelling “Trick or Treat”, sorting candy on the […]
Here at KHT, we love our motto (thanks, Dad!). It’s a call, and a promise, to all of our customers, to send us those pesky (I really like the word pesky!!) thermal processing jobs that keep you up at night, so we can “do our thing” providing amazing solutions, production, and delivery. Driving this summer, […]
As a devout “foodie” (which just means I pretty much love all food), today marks a special day on my calendar – National Pasta Day – simply celebrating the sheer joy of pasta. (whoever thought of this is a genius!) Though it’s widely observed on this day, the exact origin of this “holiday” is unclear […]
If you’ve had the pleasure of raising kids and watching them grow up to exceed your expectations, then this story is for you. Now that our own girls have grown and found their “niche” in work, life, and the community, we’ve come to appreciate that “proud parent” feeling even more. (It even carries over into […]
Isn’t it groovy baby, how certain slang terms define periods of time? The other night, Jackie and I were watching an oldie movie, and the women were called “dames” and the men were “on the lam from the coppers” and needed to “lay low from the heat”. Our language has always been a reflection of […]
It’s fun to look back at how ideas become inventions, patents mark time, and innovations spread into our culture and daily routines. At a recent shopping visit with Jackie, I watched the cashier “fly” through our grocery selections, happily chatting away as she was listening for the beeps of the barcode reader. It got me […]
