Southernized?

I spent 12 years in Mississippi my photos albums tell me. I SHOULD have become a damn good Southern belle in that time—sweet buttercream accent, impressive make-up collection, able to bake and fry anything for a last minute pot-luck. But, unfortunatel

Fort Bragg - Come for the fun, stay for the food

Chef Gregorio Garcia & Piaci Owner Cynthia Ariosta Walking into Piaci Pub & Pizzeria in downtown Fort Bragg is like walking into Boston's fictitious Cheers Pub; where everybody knows your name. "Or at least where you work," says co-owner

Another Summer BBQ (!)

We had two BBQs this year! We could have had even more because, in July, summer came to England (but not to West Scotland). Now it's just a happy memory, of course. Nevertheless, on July 26th, we got John's work gang and a few mates around f

ok - it's not new a "new" meat at all, but cooking it is new to me. if you've read my blog you know i am a HUGE fan of cochinita pibil (yucatecan recipe for pork slow-cooked in banana leaves). tonight the pork is marinading and tomorrow it will be wrap

Seafood & Luxury @ An Lochan

Thai time, Thai size and other observations

It's another stormy Sunday afternoon, so I thought I'd pass the time with some more social commentary... First of all, Thai time. In Thailand, meeting times, starting times, ending times, departure times, arrival times and deadlines are all merely sugg

Food; part 5

Two blog posts in three days? Amazing. Now that Nina and I are homeless, unemployed and living in a tent down by the river, I have some more free time. I can also plug the laptop in at the library and type away in a nice warm building. Today I am going

Snails with Yanis

One Cretan speciality I wanted to try as soon as I spotted the main ingredients piled up in net bags in wicker baskets at the greengrocer's were snails. I refrained from purchasing one of those bags (about 7€ per kg.), remembering my promise a

'Radishes Smile, and All Beings Rejoice'

The title is a quotation from one section of Edward Espe Brown's book Tomato Blessings and Radish Teachings. I'll be talking about radishes in a bit, but first some words about the author and about the book in general. Edward Espe Brown was the head c

On Food and Cooking--Beating Egg Whites, for example

[Warning: this is a post from Nerd World.] [The columnist John Carroll from the San Francisco Chronicle always warns his readers of impending columns about cats--some people love them, some people hate them. I'm borrowing the trick for my posts fro

BINGIN ECO HOUSE

Surrounded by forest and rural scenes.This beautiful area boasts some of the most idyllic beaches in Bali, including Balangan, Dreamland, Bingin and Padang Padang. These hidden, white sandy coves are great for both surfers and non-surfers alike.

Rice Tsunami

The price of rice has sky-rocketed in Thailand to such a degree that gangs have taken to raiding farmers' rice fields. Some farmers have taken to sleeping in the fields to guard against thefts. One economic advisor on CNN Asia has called it a "rice tsun

Borth 2008: Test-Kitchen---Last Minute Experiments 2

Tortilla chips with cream cheese-lime and mango salsa: These are nice and will look good if I get better at assembly, plus they can be contrasted well with red salsa which I'll also make. However, they turn soggy fast, so they have to be milled out whi

Borth 2008: Test-Kitchen---Last Minute Experiments 1

My experiments in egg marbling haven't progressed much: But this may be as good as it gets. The eggs have been marinated (l-r) for 1h, 4hrs and overnight respectively. Suffice to say that marinating time has less influence on the outcome than handl

Borth 2008: Test Kitchen---Mini Palmiers

In the final few days before the big occasion, I'm testing out recipes that are new to me or that I haven't made for a while. Today I'm making oriental foods, but because of the time it takes to prepare them I'm usually lagging at least a day behind with

Borth 2008: Test Kitchen---The Countdown Begins

I'm twitching in my chair as I write this. I want to get going with a few more test recipes, but I'm not running the oven today and it's still too early to think about baking anything. As for tea-marbled quail's eggs: I've got to be in the kitchen for

Do you know the way to San Jose?
