Eat Blindfolded: “Lights Out” Dinners for Charity[trip4food.blogspot.com]
There’s no better eating beans when you serve up your own homemade BBQ Baked Beans right off the Barbecue grill. Watch one of the BBQ Pit Boys show you how easy it is to do. Just add 4-5 1lb. cans of your favorite pre-cooked beans, with 1/4lb. thick-cut bacon, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 4 tablespoons prepared mustard, to a 3-4 quart black iron pan. Mix the ingredients as shown and then simmer in your covered grill for about an hour, or until the excess liquid renders off. Move the pan opposite the hot coals and then cover the pan for an additional hour or so.

Eat Blindfolded: “Lights Out” Dinners for Charity
| We eat for many reasons: Celebration, sorrow, greed and even addiction. Yet this week is a rare opportunity to put your taste buds to the test and ensure your latest meal goes further than your hips. |
Restaurants in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties will host “Lights Out” dinners benefitting Stand Among Friends. Diners will be blindfolded and served a prix-fixe meal. It’s a chance find out what it’s like to not have you eyesight, and to gauge the precision of your palate. The local nonprofit, which began in 1997, provides a variety of services to more than 600 disabled people annually. Among them are employment training and evaluations, lessons in American Sign Language and technology training.
The event is also the first project Stand Among Friends is undertaking with Ability Explosion under its wing. The group focuses on creating events that shed light on the challenges facing the disabled community. Lights Out is a personal project for Ability Explosion founder David New, who himself is visually impaired.
So what about the food? Lights out will take place today (Oct. 17) at Dapur Kitchen in Fort Lauderdale, Friday (Oct. 18) at Rosso Italia in Boca Raton and on Oct. 24 at Red, The Steakhouse on Miami Beach. Individual tickets are available at $ 85 each, or you can go all in for the six-seat family sponsorship for $ 1,000.Â
