of onions and herbs for a sauce base. Short shift at work.

Wish me luck.

1/2 teaspoon each salt and crushed red pepper
4 quarts prepared Marinara or spaghetti sauce

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, reduce heat and simmer for

Last night I experimented in the kitchen. I had leftover green chiles and just
a little bit of rice and some cheese, but I wanted to make this rice dish.
(What an eloquent way of stating it) ANYWAY, I decided to add a few more
ingredients and see what happened.
I added the green chiles (pureed), sour cream, rice, shredded cheese, tomatos,
and several eggs and baked for about 40 minutes ... a delicious casserole.

Sitting down to eat does not imply slackerdom to me. To enjoy a meal, I believe it is imperative that you sit and savor. Relax and eat comfortably...

BTW I usually "grab" lunch too -- my bad.

Speaking of the dining alone...
I've just recently acquired the ability to do so comfortably. In fact, in
Boston this summer, I dined at Legal Sea Foods solo. Me, a glass of wine, a
cup of clam chowder and "Oysters Legal." I little daunting but I enjoyed the
whole affair -- delicious food, excellent company.

Yes, don't worry, I'm far better with the kids than with myself - otherwise they'll never have survived to the ripe ages of two and three. I have a book with about a hundred menues for kids and how to make it look more attractive so they'll eat it. I'm trying to prevent them from turning into slobs like myself!

I'll go to the library and try and find something a little more suitable than the Afrikaner cookbook. A friend of mine once read somewhere about a banana diet, where you eat only bananas for a whole week, and this is supposed to clean out your system. After a week she was bunged up as a stuffed animal, and two kilo's heavier! Think I'll stay away from that particular one . . . .

more like:
what I cooked this week since I gave up all hope that I would get a new stove before we ran out of 'out to eat' money...

salmon burgers
stuffed mushroom
spinach/cheese stuffed shells
potato/zucchini cakes
falafel

oh... can't forget Mac N Cheese night!

the stuffed mushrooms were 'the absolute BEST ones you've ever made' according to Brandon. I substituted crushed cracker crumbs for bread crumbs because... I was out of stale bread. I could of changed a few more things around but it's hard to tell... perhaps more garlic. More butter? The freshly dried herbs?
One day I'll make my lazy arse write a receipe down.

Actually, white (pink) and brown are not different species. There's just a variation within the same species. For some reason white ones are found in the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico, and brown ones in the western part, where Texas is.

Any seafood will pick up some of it's flavor from the surrounding water. Different water = Different flavor. Usually the difference is subtle, however I

Oh dear - sorry to hear that, Stacey.

Isabel, I just wish autumn would come properly now, you know? It is such a gorgeous season once one gets through the drizzle. Actually I love rain (since I come from the desert), but this week has been a bit much, even for me.

All of the rain-lovers should plan a stay in Hilo. We get upwards of 200 inches
(508cm) of it a year, and it is never cold and achy...it also does not get leaden and dark for days on end. Our Tomato plants die of old age...but we have the very same season all year round. Boring!

This is true. You can plan on leaving your crampons and snowshoes in Colorado unless you like to be in 10% air. In that case, you can snow ski at 14,000' and get a really bad headache while you are doing so. Where you will be running, it will be mostly humidity and sun you will have to battle, element-wise. They start you out pre-dawn so it is cooler for you...but you also just might get rained on gently and briefly. It is considered a blessing in Hawaii!

We have especially bedacious avocandoes over here (about 2 pounds each and NO strings with a buttery flavor and no bitterness) which I add liberally. If I ever leave Hawaii, I will miss them most of all I think! The one I made last night had white boneless, skinless chicken in it, and small herbed tofu slices along with fresh spinach, tomatoes and other greens. And two kinds of cheeses.

Hi Autumn, there's a topic on cultural aspects of food in the cultures conference (of which for my sins I am now host) created last year on someones suggestion. Bit broader than specific countries/continents food I think ...probably some overlap inevitably. One of the things I hope to think about there for example is customs or rituals surrounding eating.

Yes !! It sounds like the wolflings had a very good meal. And your back? We finally went out to dinner. The resident male here does not like shopping either so we tend to eat weird things when all else fails then get a real meal out. Writing books and researching is a long term business and we tend to forget not only if it is day or night, we also are known to forget to eat. I use Kroger's version of Lipton's rice and sauce. I never flavored rice in my zillion years with a rice cooker other than to add barley to it occasionally. If you want to do this, I suggest you parboil the barley a bit first or perhaps soak it. Then add the rice and fresh water to measure and cook the whole combination again. I really like it that way and it is fantastic added to soup.

Annato was a spice of great regular use in Hawaii in the Philippine community. I am guessing you are making Hispanic-flavored soups with this? The coloring seems more important than the actual taste, as I recall.

Gadzooks !!! Chef Extraordinaire makes house calls?! He'd hate my kitchen currently with only one electrical outlet and plumbing that requires stock pots to be filled at the bathtub faucet. Otherwise, I'd get in line!

oooh I nearly forgot. I am getting great access to real down home pioneer cooking from a newly rediscovered old friend who grew up with it. Next I need to find out what is red-eye gravy and why is it called that?! Is it a hangover remedy?

only one. Worse, the ceiling light doesn't work anymore so My single illumination is a lamp plugged into the Gas stove outlet. I have an electrig grille and fillet mignon in the freezer from Omaha steaks - but have no place to plug that sucker in and see what I am doing at the same time. So much for the glamor of Victorian houses. The plumbing and electrical are miserable beyond belief.

we have one that was fitted with gas logs. They have been disconnected and a hutch is now blocking the entire edifice and we hardly ever go into that room. My packing boxes are in there as well as what serves as my closet (a lot of my stuff is still in my suitcase or in stacks here and there in that room. Very bad, indeed.

red-eye gravy is made by deglazing a skillet with coffee after frying ham in it

As for the achiote, I'm doing a French-Italian-Central American fusion thing for an art show this Thursday. I'll tell the rest after the event.

Today I made a broccoli and cheese soup with cheddar, Swiss, Gorgonzola, and Parmesan (actually, Grana Padano, but...) cheeses.

*pulling up a chair and polishing my spooon* I'll eat broccoli and cheese on anything. Aha about the ham fried in a pan. The next question is hickory smoke cured or country ham? I really don't like the latter but that should be irrevelant. Continue about your soup. It sounds fantastic.

Crostini with achiote poached shrimp accented with arugula, chipotle rouille, roasted poblano pesto, rum-glazed coconut grilled pineapple, and manchego tuille. (I hope I spelled all of that right...)

Duck au poivre with Cumberland Sauce, with a 3 Cab reduction instead of Port
Apple, carrot and cardamom mashed potatoes
Chardonnay poached mushrooms
Grilled zucchini
Focaccia

(First time I ever cooked duck, too.)

Wow! more things in mashed potatoes than just crushed garlic now? I love the flavor of sun dried tomatoes! How was the duck? My mom only made one and that was so greasy most of it got tossed. She clearly did not do somthing right.
