Michael Phelps Will Be the New Face of Subway
Move over, Jared. Subway's got a new guy in town, and his name is Michael Phelps. The mega-medal Olympian continues to score endorsements faster than his swimming records.
Can You Guess the Olympians' Favorite Foods?
In the past two weeks, many of us (myself included) have kept our eyes glued to the television screen watching the Olympics. You may think you're a die-hard sports fan since you know the number of world records broken or gold medals won, but the real test is whether you know what foods the Olympians just can't resist. Here's your chance to test your aptitude.
Kellogg's Debuts Michael Phelps Cereal Box
An honor of winning the most Olympic gold medals of all time is getting to grace the cover of a cereal box. This morning Kellogg's released the first images of the Michael Phelps Corn Flakes cover. Come Fall Phelps will front both Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes boxes.
Michael Phelps Dishes on His Unusual Eating Habits
If you've been watching the 2008 Olympics like I've been, then you're probably aware that USA swimmer Michael Phelps is trying to win a record number of gold medals. But do you know what he eats to stay on top of his ambitious game? In a recent video interview, Phelps explains that he fuels his body by eating between 8,000 and 10,000 calories a day.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Chicken Lo Mein
Use the Olympics to teach your kids about the cuisines of other cultures. In this case, explain how the games are taking place in Beijing, and that lo mein is a typical Chinese noodle dish with stir-fried add-ins.
This variation incorporates regular pasta with soy and hoisin sauces.
Come Party With Me: Olympics Viewing — The Look
Let the colors of the Olympic symbol — blue, yellow, black, green, and red — inspire the decor of your Olympics viewing party. Start by running a white cloth down the middle of a buffet table. Set the food on five circular plates arranged in the Olympic symbol pattern.
8 Prosperous Chinese Courses
In Mandarin, the number eight, or "ba," sounds similar to the word that means "prosper" or "wealth"; therefore, eight is considered lucky in Chinese culture. Today being 08.08.08 is an incredibly fortuitous day that has me in the mood for Chinese food. Since this Asian civilization has existed for thousands of years, its people are highly attuned to texture, flavor, color, and aroma.
Come Party With Me: Olympics Viewing — Drinks
When guests arrive at your Olympic viewing, surprise them at the door with a chilled shot of Canton Ginger Liqueur. The shot will loosen up shy friends and get the conversation flowing. Next offer guests a glass of strawberry-lychee punch.
Come Party With Me: Olympics Viewing — Dessert
Like a medal ceremony during the games, the dessert to your Olympic viewing should be rewarding and sweet. During the Summer nothing beats homemade ice cream, so wow guests with fresh scoops of cold, green tea ice cream.
This exotic flavor continues the Asian-influenced theme of the menu.
Come Party With Me: Olympics Viewing — Menu
The Olympics are taking place in Beijing, so I plan on serving a dim sum-inspired Chinese menu. Dim sum are small dishes usually consumed at brunch. Since my viewing is in the evening, the recipes aren't necessarily über-traditional; they are, however, divinely delicious.
