This spread of outrageousness is best described by a song, which is.. “The Greeks don’t want no Freaks!!” Let’s see who get that reference huh? Marinated Mediterranean style Chicken, Homemade Tzatziki topping, and an attempt at Falafel/Nan style bread. A cool tart refreshing bite of deliciousness.
Ever hear the saying “Go big or go home.”? Pretty sure there was a plan…at some point.. Do you think it maybe needs a little garlic? Yes. It does in fact need to be this size..to feed 3 people! Make it savory. Serve it hot. Chicken and Rice. Simple and delicious.
Thursday. Thursday..What to do? What to do?… Do I ever do anything…normal? Well No. Not really. He’s not normal. I’m not normal. We’ll just stay here and be un-normal together. But Thanks for asking anyway!!
Never seen chicken so cheap up here in Canada $15 cad for all this chicken!!!!!!!! Normally a big tray of chicken like this would be around $30 - 40 CAD . Promptly rubbed with EVOO , ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, bay leaf powder, cayenne powder , garlic powder and Himalayan salt Roasted in oven in the Lodge carbon steel pan All that chicken fat…. Gonna use it for roasted potatoes tomorrow
Australian Black Liquorice, with a twist open the bag, dump in a teaspoon of Himalayan salt , close bag , shake for 30 seconds , then enjoy
Herself the Goddess gave me….a book. ………….This was an incredibly…….dangerous thing to do!! This!! This is like putting The Anarchist Cookbook in my hands! and then….Focaccia….. Served with Marinated Mediterranean Chicken, and a tart Greek Salad topped with Grated Apple and Greek Yogurt. …… ………
Always looking for something to delight and amaze Herself’s.. This is supposed to be Peruvian Green Sauce. It’s not very green is it?! Sid sez, This failure is not due to his..inspiring leadership. Never be less than generous with the vegetables. Bring me the blackest of black carbon steel for a winning result. They went at it like ravenous wolves. I’d say that counts as success wouldn’t you?
You know…I think maybe the Cajun brothers n sisters are perhaps a wee bit smarter than they are getting full credit for. Spicy Jambalaya y’all. (Takes a bow. ).
With the price of Roma tomatoes (and all others) being VERY EXPENSIVE here in Vancouver, one has to resort to cheaper means to make a great pasta sauce. now I grew up in a predominantly Sicilian household - fresh is mandatory. Grandma would literally grow about 50 x 55 gallon drums worth of Roma tomatoes EVERY year, as well as about a 55 gallon drum worth of fresh basil . she would make her own sauce, canning it and storing literally hundreds of jars a year in the root cellar dry storage racks. For me to make fresh from scratch pasta sauce using Roma or other tomato’s right now , in the volume she made sauce , would cost me about $10,000 CAD alone in tomato’s . It’s insane up here. I inquired at a produce warehouse how much 5 cases (50 lbs each) of Roma tomatoes would cost me wholesale. $250 a case , or basically $4.50 a lb WHOLESALE makes ME SICK . I grew up making pasta sauce from fresh Ingredients from the garden, for almost nothing but labour . I’d roast the tomato’s , grind them in a hand mill, chop the garlic, onions, herbs etc and let it simmer all day., So now I resort to extreme cost savings measures. let’s start with 2 whole onions diced, plus 2 lbs of smashed garlic cloves . Sauté in EVOO. add pilfered fresh rosemary , oregano, basil and thyme from the fancy West Side community gardens, 1/2 a cup finely minced each herb. add a chub (about 2 lbs) of ground chorizo or Tuscan ground pork , ground beef etc (or all three) Sauté / brown everything , add an entire tube of Nonna Pia concentrated tomato paste and mix well. now the cheat - I use two large cans of Western Family 4 cheese pasta sauce ($3 CAD each) it’s one of the better off the shelf pre-made (locally) pasta sauce and it’s actually really really tasty. mix well, rinse the cans out with water and add it to the pot. Mix well, simmer on low for a few hours , stirring often. Simmer down to your desired thickness (I like THICC sauce) . this big pot of sauce cost me a whopping $15 to make . $6 for the ground chorizo, $6 for two tins pasta sauce, $3 for 2 lbs peeled garlic cloves. Herbs were free .
