The Guide…
With more than 800 channels, Frequency’s Guide has something for everyone and every mood – when I’m hungry, I go straight for the Food column on the left side of the Guide. There I surf through such tantalizing dishes as grilled mahi mahi with butter-drizzled asparagus served up by The Food Network, chocolate dipped coconut macaroons via the Joy of Baking, and get gritty with The Hippy Gourmet where I learn about sustainable farming and organic greenhouse gardening. After lunch, I ease into the late afternoon by going back to the Guide for a dose of high brow culture via Frequency’s Art category. From Picasso’s circa 1914 metal pieced guitar to the latest lineup of independent flicks showcased in Filmmaker Magazine, I get my fill of texture, colors, and creative thinking – such a fill in fact that I’m ready for a cocktail break – and, of course, there’s a channel for that in Frequency’s Guide! Everyday Drinkers shows me how to make an El Diablo cocktail mixed with silver tequila, lime juice and ginger. (Note to self: Pick up tequila on the way home.)
