Food Dice: Seasonal Dinners

A game for those who enjoy a little creativity in the kitchen, the “Foodie Dice” provide inspiration for those looking to test their hand at whipping up something new and exciting to eat. Five primary dice offer up protein options, cooking methods, grains, herbs and a bonus ingredient. Four seasonal vegetable dice add a little flair to the mix. Simply shake up the dice in the included tumbler, toss onto a tabletop and you’ve got a recipe on your hands. Imbibers should look to their Mixology Dice for a different kind of fun.

William Onyeabor Box Sets

Much of Onyeabor’s identity remains a mystery, but crate-diggers have been fans for years, and 2013 saw Luaka Bop finally bring his songs to the (curious) masses. Discovering Onyeabor’s music is like being let in on a very special secret. Rich with playful hooks, repetitive melodies and strange electronic sounds, the Moog-driven songs lean more toward spacey Germanic techno than the raw Nigerian Afro-beat of that era. Luaka Bop has now amassed and released two limited edition box sets filled with all his tunes for the ultimate fan.

Alici di Menaica Anchovies

Only a small pocket of fishermen on the Cilento coast of Italy still catch anchovies in the ancient Menaica technique, named for the nets they use. Their process epitomizes the concept of slow food, and involves a nightly excursion with the special, loose nets that are built to catch only the larger swimmers. The fresh, red anchovies are immediately cleaned and brined seaside, then placed in terracotta pots in between layers of salt, to rest for three months before they’re aged to perfection.

Kind of Blue Signed LP

In two studio sessions in the spring of 1959 Miles Davis recorded Kind of Blue, which would quickly solidify itself as the best jazz album of all time. A year later, in 1960, he signed a copy of the record for a fan—something he evidently never did. Collectors have verified that the copy now up for auction on ebay is the only known Davis signature in existence.
