HISTORY South Of The Border ~ America’s Favorite Highway Oasis
Long standing family joke after an extended road trip with the kids from Victoria to Drumheller AB and back (I probably loved the museum more than they) - having to do with the explosive and "aromatic" results of the KFC family pack with coleslaw and cokes for the kids / coffee for their parents
It was warm enough that we wanted to keep the windows up and run the AC, but ...
This was mid 80's, and my wife still can't zip through a commercial on on the PVR without reminiscing "remember that trip?"
You're talking to the right guy. Look back a few pages.
I've harvested 62 of them since Sept. I can post my Hare Pie recipe here, if you like. Everyone (many of them) raves about it.
a few weeks late reading this, but doesn't your wife object to that description
Game Day!
Brewing up a pot of chili.
Start with some spices. One ancho, one pasilla, several New Mexico reds, a couple of guajillos, some moritas, some chipotes, and several Indian "dried red chili". For aromatics we have some toasted cumin, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice berries.
Finished chili powder:
Beef sirloin, pork shoulder, and bacon for frying.
Frijoles! Pinto beans and small red beans all soaked and ready to cook.
Vegetables.
Made some tomatillo salsa verde and some guacamole (which looked better in person) to go with the nachos for starters.

Marmalade day
Why is marmalade associated with Scotland? Is it because only a dour and bitter Scott could taste a Seville orange and think it would taste good on toast? Or were the bitter and sour oranges cheaper?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Either way, here are my Seville oranges:
PITA #1: trimming excess pith from the peels.
A bowl of trimmed peel and a bowl of orange "guts" (pith, pulp, juice, seeds).
Boiling the guts for a few hours:
PITA #2: cutting the peels into fine shreds.
The finished product:

Because it's even better with a bit of scotch in it
Interesting diner down the street tonight. To bad I can't make it there are some childhood memories here.

It's absolutely fascinating how you can find about anything on the net.
Tonight, I made some comfort food from back home (Liège, in Belgium). Translating recipes and describing food is always a bit of nightmare though. But since one can find everything on the web...
Here's a decent recipe for "boulets à la liégeoise". You can also cook them in the oven (35min at 180°c).
And another decent recipe for "croustillons". I'd replace the water by some light beer though.
