JA JERK CHICKEN
[picasa username=”lsq713″ albumname=”JAJerkChicken”] Following up on yesterdays post about the Kiln and Kitchen workshop in Jamaica– here are the chicken pics. You can see the Yabba pot for the rice and peas behind the kettle grill–both being prepared for cooking. I like to marinate the jerk chicken (or pork) in the jerk paste for at least… View Article
RICE AND PEAS
[picasa username=”lsq713″ albumname=”JARiceAndPeas”] A couple of years ago before getting so busy making Mad Hungry, I spent a week teaching at a work shop called The Kiln and The Kitchen at Good Hope in Trelawny, Jamaica. My childhood friend David Pinto, a potter who works up there invited me to collaborate with him in teaching… View Article
Boy Banana Breakfast
If I swirl mashed bananas into chocolate chip cookie dough, french toast batter, pancakes, muffins etc–boys like it better. Here the bananas are mashed into the Old Fashioned Pancakes recipe from MH AND served fresh along side for a double hit. Thanks to Kamran for the reminder on this which is a very yummy and… View Article
MORE ON CABBAGE- KALE
Not to beat a dead cabbage but–this variety of cabbage which behaves like kale is kind of insane as pointed out on yesterdays MH FB page post by Kempe Minifie (former executive food editor Gourmet magazine). Should you have a garden, I recommend getting these seeds. Unlike most other cabbages, there is so little water… View Article
SATURDAY SPOILS
Dead of winter farmers market booty. Dinner thoughts are Chicken roast with cipolini onions and fingerling potatoes, sauted kale-cabbage, apple pie.

FIFTEEN
We’re down one soccer player and dog walker but up a french toast maker (first time, not bad). He actually followed the sub recipe in the MH stuffed french toast recipe. It took two hours to make and his version of clean-up doesn’t exactly match mine but—baby steps folks, baby steps (in more ways than… View Article

VINEGAR GLOSSED CHICKEN PLUS
On the music front from yesterday opera didn’t win the airwaves after all but we did compromise starting with Jay Z and Alicia Keys New classic NYC anthem Empire State of Mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm61weFrK4c. Jay Z was the musical olive branch and I love this version better than solo Alicia anyway. BUT–she so rules overall in… View Article
NO KNEAD PIZZA
From my postings here and on FB about my bread baking activities, I think it’s fair to say that Sullivan Street bakery’s Jim Laheys new book, http://www.amazon.com/My-Bread-Revolutionary-No-Work-No-Knead/dp/0393066304 is the book I’ve most been working from in the last couple months because yeast is my new learning curve. I have had almost instant and undeserving success… View Article
HOMEMADE TRUMPS CONVENIENCE
In the time it takes to order pizza and pick it up or wait for delivery, you can make a MUCH better and more affordable meal at home, provided your pantry is stocked. Many friends and colleagues tell me they just don’t have time to cook. But, they have time to order in and wait… View Article
