  1. Today is very cold - not a lot above freezing so to sum up supper: Chicken, Chorizo and Prawn Jambalaya! We are supposed to get down to -3C tonight so am worried about all my pepper, tomato, basil, etc. plants. I just planted them this week and they have been doing so nicely. I absolutely killed my back doing it although they are in raised beds...
  2. I don't blame you - I would be excited, too! The caramelized onion, roasted garlic with those cheeses is marvelous.
  3. Yum! I often get Germany food cravings, too. Tonight we are having: Moroccan Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Passionfruit Glaze Smashed Potatoes with Buttermilk and Chives Cardamon Glazed Roast Carrots Strawberry Shortcake with Sherry Syrup
  4. Korean marinated beef skewers on bibb lettuce with sesame dressing; bay infused Jasmine rice; shaved raw asparagus salad with Parmesan shards and lemon vinaigrette. Again, coconut layer cake with coconut buttercream for dessert.
  5. All the following is being grilled as I speak: - haloumi drizzled with new green olive oil from Croatia and toasted walnuts - carrots with rosemary and scallions - zucchini with Parmesan and chili oil - pork tenderloin with Jezebel sauce - rosemary skewered potatoes with roasted garlic aioli gluten-free Coconut Layer Cake with Coconut Buttercream...
  6. Just planted my herb garden today (our summers are very short here). Each year I plant: - rosemary (I must bring it in for the winter) - lots of Genovese basil - sage - regular thyme and lemon thyme - lemon verbena - a few kinds of mint - if you plant mint, do so in a container - it is prolific and spreads like wild! - chives and garlic chives ...
  7. Grilled Rib Eye (medium rare) Baked Potatoes with Bay Leaves and Chipotle Lime Butter Lemon Grilled Radicchio with Shaved Pecorino Watermelon with Feta, Fresh Mint and Balsamic Glaze
  8. Hi, Sylvia! Do you get many tornado warnings?
  9. Have been away but now that I'm back I'm cooking up a storm! We are having: Baby Back Ribs with Rub and Apple Butter Bourbon Glaze Roasted Potato Salad Grilled Corn on the Cob with Spicy Herb Compound Butter Cornbread
  10. We had some lovely local plump gluten-free pork Cumberland sausages with garlic and buttermilk mashed potatoes and brown butter herb roasted carrots. Bangers and Mash it is called. Oh, and caramelized onion red wine sauce as is traditionally served with it. gluten-free brownies for dessert.
  11. Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Leg of Lamb with Homemade Mint Sauce Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs Minted Mushy Peas
  12. How long did the B12 take to work for you? I started taking it about five weeks ago an feel no different yet. My insomnia is severe (due to an extremely painful back injury) and is only helped by prescription drugs. Wonder if B12 would help in my case??!!
  13. Baby Back Ribs Marinated in Sherry, Soy, Hoisin, Ginger and Spices Scallion and Lime-Infused Jasmine Rice with Caramelized Shallots Roasted Radishes with Lemon Butter and Pistachios
  14. Nothing wrong with stuff pulled from the freezer when you feel like it! Tonight we're doing the summertime theme thing because we still have LOTS of snow on the ground. But it has started to melt so we are in the mood for BBQ. We're having: BBQ Rubbed Baby Back Ribs with Apple Bourbon Glaze Roasted Potato Salad Steamed Broccoli Vanilla...
  15. Basic and simple this evening: gluten-free Italian Sausages Braised in White Wine with Lentils de Puy and Potatoes Orange, Fresh Mint and Fennel Salad with Grapefruit Tarragon Vinaigrette Banana Bread Told ya it is simple!
  16. Sorry you couldn't make it! Next week... Your dinner sounds wonderful - there is something so special about oven fried chicken! Mmmm....
  17. Man, wouldn't that be a fun, low stress job?
  18. etta, have you checked under the spices? That's where ours are located. They come in test-tube looking things!! Hope you find some - they are sooooooo wonderful...

  19. Where, in the store, did they put the vanilla beans? (Maybe I'm lookin in the wrong place?)

  20. I'm surprised that our small town actually does carry vanilla beans! They also carry lemongrass after I practically begged several times. It's certainly not a gourmet town by any stretch - it is a wealthy oil town that is full of young transients who rely on icky take-out. So, I am getting to know the produce guy, butcher, etc. And you'd be surprised...
  21. I enjoy describing things so you get the feel and taste of the recipe. You can (and are) learn(ing) to cook! It comes with practice and experience. Once you start to develop confidence in it you can cook most things at home (except for sous vide, etc. for molecular gastronomy - I'm dabbing in it but need more practice). Experimenting with fresh...
  22. Lettuce from the garden? You're not kidding, are you? The snow finally started melting here yesterday but we have a few feet to go. Anyway, tonight we are having: Roast Chicken with Moroccan Rub and Roasted Lemons Roasted Baby Potatoes and Carrots with Fresh Thyme and Rosemary Melted Leeks (in white wine) Cornbread
  23. Homemade corn tortillas with spicy beef filling, melted cheeses and green onions. Jicama, daikon and broccoli slaw. Mango for dessert. Simple but good.
  24. Precisely! We do get up to 100F in the summer but not for long periods of time. My ideal temperature is about 60-70F at the most. Love it. Croatia will be nice - extremely mild short winters (in our area they get snow the odd time but rarely - two hours from Venice) and we'll just return to Canada in the summers to visit to avoid prolonged periods...
  25. It's funny but I don't do well in heat at all, either. It makes me wilt!
