    My first attempt at Canadian Bacon

    hey, glad you're staying safe over there. it can be a frightening thing to live through. in my work, i encounter families who have lost it all, in some cases. people do not realize how traumatic an experience it can be. this stuff was really good, and could have been a little better, had the...

    The beautiful Mrs. Tas makes cream puffs

    thanks for the kind words! adding some sort of flavouring to them really makes the cream puffs sing, for sure. i suspect that, adding the jam, jelly or whatever, one would not have to add the extra sugar, but mrs/ tas says that's the way she always has done it, and they taste great, so i will...

    thanks, junky! and on that note, i don't know why in the world i said "tenderloins," when the package is clearly marked "centre-cut loin filet." corrections made!

    challenge - name three flavors that (together) best compliment beef!

    everyone pretty much agrees, and i'd have to say i do as well. thanks for the replies! i've got some beef short ribs going on this weekend, and will put some of this to use. I'm thinking of giving them a bit of a basque treatment by improvising a kalimoxto (red wine and cola) glaze, near the...

    what is chili?

    tom and dave - thanks! i enjoyed writing it, but i certainly don't claim it to be an authoritative, perhaps an "interpretation" would be the best term. that chili looks pretty good to me, tom ~

    what is chili?

    what is chili?

    well, hopefully by now the martian will have some idea of what chili is - basically, it's like porn - you know it when you see it! my mother is from south-central and south-western colorado, a state with a good chili tradition. having said that, nearly every ingredient in her chili always came...

    what is chili?

    lol - the how's, where's and why's are my whole point of view ~ i'm an historian, so i look at nearly any dish, or cuisine, or method (such as barbecue) from the perspective of its origins, in the geography, the people and the cultures that produced it. i'm interested in learning about the...

    what is chili?

    come on, guys - i know that write-up was good, but it wasn't THAT good ~ lol my answer to "the martian" is just one angle of the whole picture that is chili in america ~ surely there's some room for discussion?
