Catching up...

Those pickled asparagus were a hit. Recipe at Satan's Asparagus - Hellishly Yummy »

This mornings farmers market was a joy. They had PEACHES!!!

I bought a peck, the bruised, ugly ones. They taste better and cost less.

First up I'm in the process of making a Green Masala Peach jam.

Tomorrow I pick up the spices from my client to experiment with Pickled Peaches. Yeah, sounds odd. We'll see. Have a lot of peaches, will try a few different things.

Pictures, recipes and comments will be coming.

Till then, enjoy

Shrimp marinated with an East Carolina BBQ Blend, grilled. Mix of grilled zucchini, green onion, shallot, tomatoes, lemon drop peppers and basil. Simply dressed with a peppery olive oil and a Serrano infused vinegar.

 

Today I sent each of my kiddos to school with 30 chocolate bat cupcakes for their Halloween shindigs....and then dropped off 25 more at their after-school care place for THEIR Halloween shindig.

Lots of baking going on in my house between last night and early this morning. :crazy:

 

Ate this for dessert tonight, thanks to my daughter's amazing creativity. Happy Birthday to me!

 

Bacon is neither a meat nor a vegetable. It is Bacon

It has been proven safe to eat for all food groups.

It's even kosher!

 

It's Chinese New Year! In my family that means....

DUNGENESS CRAB TIME (among other things)! :drool

Happy New Year everyone!

 

Made some Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner. Veal, Italian sausage, beef, basil, oregano, olive oil, cream soaked 2 day old Italian loaf, parmesan, dredged, fried, then simmered in homemade red sauce. Finished with Pecorino Romano.

 

Meat-n-potatoes at the doghouse today.

I hickory-smoked a meatloaf with on the Weber Kettle. Oven roasted red potatoes and broccoli on the side. No gravy, no sauce, just wonderful smokey, meaty goodness.

Hmm, no Monty Python fans here, I guess, since my April 1 post went nowhere.

It is grilling season again, and I grilled up some chicken thighs seasoned with black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper. I double fried some taters to golden, crispy goodness for on the side.



A nice Spring chicken and fries basket.

 

Nobody eating anymore?

I made a delicious Italian fish stew, although the fish were American. Shrimp and cod, in a soupy sauce of San Marzano plum tomatoes, blended with fresh basil and oregano, garlic green onions and red pepper flakes sautéed in olive oil (Italian). A little fish stock made from the shrimp shells to thin the sauce into more of a soup/stew hybrid. Herbs came from my backyard.

 

It has been cold and rainy, so I made some cider-braised pork shoulder, and mashed potatoes. Good "stick-to-the-ribs" food.

Pork chop, medium. Brussel sprouts, tossed with a little EVOO salt and pepper before searing and finishing in the oven. Then I drizzled a little balsamic reduction over the sprouts. Right tasty.
