When Karen and I made a trip to D.C., David introduced us to Taylor Gourmet. I had this sandwich there. This article reminded me of that sandwich, so I gave it a shot. Jewel had a semolina sesame loaf (La Brea Bakery). I made broccoli di rabe, I had pulled pork in the freezer, so …

The Week of Soup
I was searching for meal ideas, and Maryann wanted beef vegetable soup. I had already found a soup recipe I wanted to try, and offered to postpone it. Maryann suggested “Why not both?” I replied that it would be a Week of Soup. And so, here we are. So, on Sunday I made Beef Vegetable …
Hopping John
After reading this article, I was interested in what real Red Peas and Carolina Gold Rice tasted like. Apparently the last time I Hoppin’ John, it was with more modern, less than authentic ingredients. I found the heritage items on Amazon, and since it was easy to order them, I did. Here is what they …
Mississippi Pot Roast
While going through my RSS food related links, I came across this article for Mississippi Pot Roast from the New York Times. Since it was a remake of a “classic”, and the NYT version looked like too much work, I went looking for the original. There are a bunch of them out there, each different …
So, what do we have around the house?
I had two leftover andouille sausages left over from the Mardi Gras étouffée I made earlier. I was discussing with David about how he could add potatoes to his brussels sprouts recipe (canned diced would be nice – it rhymes), and thought why not. I took canned potatoes and the two links of sausage. Since …
Shrimp Etouffée
Saw this on Karen’s favorite sites, the kitchn. I love Shrimp Etouffée, and this recipe looked pretty good. Actually, it was REALLY good. Took me to Heaven (in my mind). No reason that this could not be made with chicken, andouille, Tasso ham – or all of them. When Heaven on Seven combined it all, …
Steak Salad
So, The Internet Meme (patent pending) was reading the Chicago Tribune food section, saw a recipe for Steak Salad, and promptly saved the article in “a safe place”. So I found this recipe for Steak Salad, and made it. I did omit two tablespoons of vinegar, since it seemed disproportionate, but otherwise made the recipe. …
Perlo
I was reading Deadspin, and came across this recipe for something called Perlo. Kind of like my Chich-n-rice, but no green olives or capers. And, the vegetable is prepared separately. Chicken, all browned up: Sausage. I used Ditka’s Hot Polish Sausage from Vienna. Because I had some in the freezer. All browned up. The finished product. …
Ricotta and Lemon Zest Ravioli
Here is one Mom made, but I pitched in. Butter, olive oil, arugula and pine nuts.
Linguine with Green Olive Sauce
I saw this recipe from bon appetit on my RSS feed, and thought it looked pretty interesting. Mixed up and ready to go. Action shot of Mom tossing the arugula salad that accompanied it: Plated up with arugula salad: It was pretty good, and I would make it again, although I would simplify it. I …
