Had a very fine evening last week enjoying a press/blogger dinner sponsored by Arm & Hammer at Country … the recently renovated Carlton Hotel is very luxurious and comfortable in the Neo-Classical style.
Cocktails and dinner were served on the second floor over-looking the lobby. It was a sight to behold with the lovely chandeliers and Roman style mosaic-tiled floors. The executive chef, Willis Loughhead, presented us with a wonderful series of his creations, running from cod cheeks to pig ears. Wonderful service and lovely French wine.
Learned much about Arm & Hammer and their baking soda … The next morning, I brought out my silver-plated soup ladle and polished with baking soda – what a brilliant shine! For many more uses of baking soda, see Peter Ciullo’s “Baking Soda Bonanza.”
Lauren Steinhorn and her crew from Edelman were magnificent … it was a great pleasure to meet everyone.
