Salmon Salad
I just want you all to know that I took the salmon out of the freezer at 8:00 a.m. this morning before I went shopping and when I returned was completely intimidated by Roger’s pretty little tart http://stowell.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/ill-follow-the-sun-with-a-smoked-salmon-tart-in-tow/. Oh well, … Continue reading

Shrimp Au Gratin
My inspiration for this recipe came from Emeril Lagasse and like all “Loosiana” people, he seems to be courting an early heart attack. This is not an entree but an entire buffet and decadence at it’s best! Still….halve the … Continue reading
Pork Roast with Balsamic Potatoes
This is supposed to be a Jamie recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamie-at-home/balsamic-baked-onions-and-potatoes-with-roast-pork-recipe/index.html, but I so couldn’t be bothered that I decreased amounts, ignored cooking methods and added a turnip. The good thing about Jamie is that he knows his ingredients and flavors, so as … Continue reading

Soba Noodles with Veal and Scallops
I really couldn’t decide what I wanted to do today but I knew it would have to involve veal and scallops, as they were in the freezer. Aside: It’s so boring just cooking out of the freezer, but one … Continue reading

Glazed Chicken with Bacon
I first made this plate with quail http://cookinginsens.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/glazed-quail-and-potato-turnip-puree/ but since there were no quail in the freezer, and it’s strictly verboten to buy anything before I’ve used what I already have, chicken thighs it was. Of course the chicken thighs require … Continue reading

Ham and Eggs
When I was about 9 years old, I remember visiting my father’s relatives on their farm near Williamsburg, Virginia. The two things that really impressed me about these Virginians were their welcome fish fry with homemade ice cream and their … Continue reading

Crispy, Twice Cooked Duck
I found the inspiration for this meal on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCkX6rFYROE. Sounded like a great way to use the 4 enormous duck legs in the freezer. I liked the idea of marinating then roasting the duck before deep frying. To accompany … Continue reading
