Updates

I’ve been cooking a lot lately, and it is only out of laziness i have not documented my efforts.  Pho turned out great on my first try.  The same with banh mi.  I’ve experimented with jerk recently, making some fiery hot meatballs and a sweeter chicken version.  Some friends complained about the heat of the meatballs— I made them punitive in nature, which is how i sometimes like it.  I like them to burn on the way out, if you know what i mean.  I made the chicken for a dear friend’s birthday party, shredded into chunks, and people loved it.  That sauce was more runny, with a fruity hint of OJ, and plenty of allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, all ground fresh.

I’ve come to a grim decision: to take down all of the photos on this site and start over, at least as far as photos are concerned.  I’m really not that happy with Flickr as a showcase for this site’s photos.  It is too difficult to use of the purposes I envisioned.  So the photos will come down, and hopefully reappear over time in a more realistic and sustainable resolution.  Perhaps then i will be more interested in posting regularly again.  Besides, it will soon be time to make limoncello, and i wouldn’t want anyone to miss that one.

    the chicken and the meatballs were perfectly wonderfully hot - not scorchy gratuitous heat, but nice and richly warm with what tasted like a variety of peppers and spices. but - maybe we should start a fire-eaters anonymous group…
