Happy St. Patrick’s Day! LIVE from Insight Real Estate Group Northwest of the circle/clock tower in the historic Delano district for the 12th Annual St. Patrick’s day parade.
First up is Ali Rosen with her new book “Bring It! – Tried and True Recipes for Potlucks and Casual Entertaining.”
Bring It! is the ultimate source for potluck, picnic, or dinner party-worthy dishes that combine simple prep with big taste!
The word “potluck” may inspire memories of church dinners and mystery covered dishes. But today’s potlucks are essentially outsourced dinner parties, which make gathering around a shared table a cinch. Inside Bring It!, you will find dozens of impressive-looking recipes that come together easily, and are perfect for carrying to any occasion.
Author Ali Rosen has put a long career in the food world to use, drawing on chef and restaurant secrets for easy dishes that will have friends begging for the recipe. Must-have dishes include:
* Pimento Cheese and Crab Dip
* Snap Pea Salad with Parmesan and Bacon
* Pistachio and Anchovy Pasta
* Short Ribs with Quick Pickled Shallots
* S’mores Bars
Each recipe includes a note called “How to Bring It,” for make-ahead, reheating, and transport instructions. Flavors are designed for maximum impact, but won’t take hours to cook, or require special ingredients. Have dinner with the neighbors, sit down to a picnic in the park, or bring a dish to the school luncheon. They come together easily, hold well, and travel beautifully. They’ll have you rethinking the potluck.
Ali Rosen is the founder and host of Potluck with Ali Rosen, a television show and website dedicated to sharing the best and brightest in food. Potluck airs on NYC Life and its videos have appeared on HuffPost, Edible, and People. Ali was named as one of Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30 for Food & Drink. She has also written for sites including Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Fodor’s, and Refinery 29.

She is from Charleston, South Carolina, but currently lives in New York City.
Jameson Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey
Light gold in color, with a fairly light nose, there are notes of vanilla, subtle honey, and a hint of the smell of a pencil eraser. There’s a slight edge to the nose. The entry of Jameson is actually a little more flavorful than you’d expect. Then it’s all about the long lingering warm finish that requires some time and thought before you give in to another sip
- Straight.
- On the rocks.
- With a bit of water.
- With a bit of club soda.
- With ginger ale (1 part Jameson, 2 parts ginger ale)
- In cocktails (Lone Oak, Tipperary, Isaiah Rynders, Irish Old Fashioned, Irish Maid, The Copper, Irish Coffee, The Irish Car Bomb)
Stop by Jacob Liquor Exchange and pick up a bottle – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

About the Author
The 2016 vintage is a gorgeous, mouth-watering example from another stellar Oregon growing season. This has a pale straw color with glistening edges. Aromas of ripe pear, fresh cantaloupe and honeysuckle fill the glass. Juicy flavors of just ripe pear, wild honey and pineapple are framed by a balance of viscous texture and clean, racy acidity. I really like this wine and it shows the fine vintage and the talented wine making at the home of Pinot Gris in Oregon – King Estate.

The grapes come from old vines vineyards, 60-80 years-old, with yields of 2T/Ha and located high on the hillsides, 3,000 ft above sea level, around Calatayud. The vineyards are planted in principally decomposed slate and gravely clay soils. Even though there is very little rainfall in the region (around 350ml per year), the clay is at depth and allows for the vines to obtain moisture and be dry grown.
