Rudolph

As we come closer to the holiday season, get our decorations up and mail our last minute cards to friends and family, a certain TV show always brings back wonderful memories for Jackie and I year after year – the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer television special. Since its debut on this day in 1964, it […]

Three Squares

You are likely reading this email in the comfort of your home, thinking about the delicious meal yesterday, and also trying to decide just how much and when you are going to jump into the leftovers. If you follow my blog posts, you know by now I’m a big “foodie.” To be honest, I’m not […]

Razor Sharp

I’m always fascinated by the bravery, insights, and determination of inventors. And I’m lucky enough to be part of our problem-solving team here at KHT – thinking, testing, trying, and retrying until we can “get it right” and solve your challenging PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs!  Today marks a milestone in the history of […]

Nast(y) Animals

Hopefully, by now, everyone has come to terms with the results of our most recent elections.  Whether you voted for or against the eventual winner, congratulations on voting! (I wrote this before election day, so I don’t know any outcomes — guessing winners and losers can be real PIA (Pain in the @%$) Jobs). For […]

Today marks a fun day in history – Nov 1, 1512, when Michelangelo invited folks to finally view his amazing work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. Can you imagine being a local resident, knowing he had worked on the project for four years, and finally walking in to see this […]

Pumpkin spice. It has become synonymous with autumn, evoking images of cozy sweaters, falling leaves, cool nights, and warm drinks. I thought I’d search out the origins and history of this beloved spice blend, and found out it stretches far beyond recent association with trendy lattes seasonal baked goods, and craft beers. The origins of […]

Wine About It

As summer gradually draws to a close, farmers nationwide are focused on harvesting – major crops like corn and grains, soybeans, all sorts of apples and of course grapes, not only here in the US, but throughout the world. This annual ritual marks the culmination of months of careful cultivation and anticipation, marked by intensive […]

Live From New York

Ever since I can remember, and mostly during my teen years, Saturday nights were reserved to watch) Saturday Night Live (SNL), an iconic American television show that has had a profound impact on popular culture, comedy, and television since its debut – it first aired today on October 11, 1975… can you believe almost 50 […]

Cheesy

Cheese, glorious cheese. I think I just about like every cheese I’ve tasted.  I like it cold, gooey warm, and piping hot.  I put it on top of food, eat it on crackers (nothing quite like a slice of cheese, a piece of salami on a good cracker with a glass of my favorite vino!), […]
