  1. Hi, Sylvia! Do you get many tornado warnings?
  2. Have been away but now that I'm back I'm cooking up a storm! We are having: Baby Back Ribs with Rub and Apple Butter Bourbon Glaze Roasted Potato Salad Grilled Corn on the Cob with Spicy Herb Compound Butter Cornbread
  3. We had some lovely local plump gluten-free pork Cumberland sausages with garlic and buttermilk mashed potatoes and brown butter herb roasted carrots. Bangers and Mash it is called. Oh, and caramelized onion red wine sauce as is traditionally served with it. gluten-free brownies for dessert.
  4. Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Leg of Lamb with Homemade Mint Sauce Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs Minted Mushy Peas
  5. How long did the B12 take to work for you? I started taking it about five weeks ago an feel no different yet. My insomnia is severe (due to an extremely painful back injury) and is only helped by prescription drugs. Wonder if B12 would help in my case??!!
  6. Baby Back Ribs Marinated in Sherry, Soy, Hoisin, Ginger and Spices Scallion and Lime-Infused Jasmine Rice with Caramelized Shallots Roasted Radishes with Lemon Butter and Pistachios
  7. Nothing wrong with stuff pulled from the freezer when you feel like it! Tonight we're doing the summertime theme thing because we still have LOTS of snow on the ground. But it has started to melt so we are in the mood for BBQ. We're having: BBQ Rubbed Baby Back Ribs with Apple Bourbon Glaze Roasted Potato Salad Steamed Broccoli Vanilla...
  8. Basic and simple this evening: gluten-free Italian Sausages Braised in White Wine with Lentils de Puy and Potatoes Orange, Fresh Mint and Fennel Salad with Grapefruit Tarragon Vinaigrette Banana Bread Told ya it is simple!
  9. Sorry you couldn't make it! Next week... Your dinner sounds wonderful - there is something so special about oven fried chicken! Mmmm....
  10. Man, wouldn't that be a fun, low stress job?
  11. etta, have you checked under the spices? That's where ours are located. They come in test-tube looking things!! Hope you find some - they are sooooooo wonderful...

  12. Where, in the store, did they put the vanilla beans? (Maybe I'm lookin in the wrong place?)

  13. I'm surprised that our small town actually does carry vanilla beans! They also carry lemongrass after I practically begged several times. It's certainly not a gourmet town by any stretch - it is a wealthy oil town that is full of young transients who rely on icky take-out. So, I am getting to know the produce guy, butcher, etc. And you'd be surprised...
  14. I enjoy describing things so you get the feel and taste of the recipe. You can (and are) learn(ing) to cook! It comes with practice and experience. Once you start to develop confidence in it you can cook most things at home (except for sous vide, etc. for molecular gastronomy - I'm dabbing in it but need more practice). Experimenting with fresh...
  15. Lettuce from the garden? You're not kidding, are you? The snow finally started melting here yesterday but we have a few feet to go. Anyway, tonight we are having: Roast Chicken with Moroccan Rub and Roasted Lemons Roasted Baby Potatoes and Carrots with Fresh Thyme and Rosemary Melted Leeks (in white wine) Cornbread
  16. Homemade corn tortillas with spicy beef filling, melted cheeses and green onions. Jicama, daikon and broccoli slaw. Mango for dessert. Simple but good.
  17. Precisely! We do get up to 100F in the summer but not for long periods of time. My ideal temperature is about 60-70F at the most. Love it. Croatia will be nice - extremely mild short winters (in our area they get snow the odd time but rarely - two hours from Venice) and we'll just return to Canada in the summers to visit to avoid prolonged periods...
  18. It's funny but I don't do well in heat at all, either. It makes me wilt!
  19. Northern Alberta (several hours north of Edmonton) - unsure of the altitude. We've had snow on the ground continually since the beginning of November. Yuck. One of the many reasons why we bought a house in Croatia!
  20. We don't usually get snow in June (but the odd time we do) and July and August would work for me...
  21. Just let me know when your flight arrives and I'll pick you up at the airport three hours from here. Dress warm - we still have at least three feet of snow and it is -20C.
  22. - Kansas City Rubbed Pork Baby Back Ribs with Homemade Spicy Sweet BBQ Sauce - Fingerling Potatoes Roasted with Garlic Cloves and Fresh Thyme and Rosemary finished with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt - Spiced Fried Onion Rings with Cracked Black Pepper Creme Fraiche
  23. OK, I thought we should eat a balanced/healthy meal tonight. Plans changed to Herbed Salad with Frisee, Lardons, Capers, Pears and Blood Red Oranges with Sesame Balsamic Vinaigrette; Devilled Eggs with Oven Roasted Red Peppers.
  24. Leftover Bangers and Mash with Red Wine Caramelized Onion Sauce from last night but this time accompanied by Spinach Salad with Chevre, Blood Oranges, Peppergrass and a Honey Blood Orange Vinaigrette, with Toasted Pistachios. And to be completely piggish we are polishing off the rest of the delectable Coconut Cake with Orange Buttercream. We are...
  25. Be glad to. I often make up my own recipes so they are more or less in my head but will try to remember to add them next time. Thanks for the compliment - I really appreciate it!
