Duck Again

Just a follow up to my duck post a while back. My first attempt at the duck (which I proudly helped process right on the farm) was roasting it in the oven. It tasted great if you were willing to chew it for a couple of hours. Since we were not willing to do that,Continue reading “Duck Again”

The Spice is Right

Apparently I’ve been on a spicy roll lately. I was quietly perusing the farmer’s market and came across these fantastic looking poblanos. I had to have some. Suddenly all my weekend cooking plans were completely rearranged, all due to some chiles. Poblanos just beg to be stuffed, and these ones were no different.

Some of you out there who are familiar with how I feel about meat may be suprised, no shocked, to learn that I made rib eye steaks tonight. And ate one of them. For you, please see my…uh…testimony…at the end of this blog. My plans for dinner tonight didn’t start out with the idea thatContinue reading “A Southern Dinner”
