I Want To Find A Guy I Used To Know And Thank Him For Knowing Me!

July 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I wanted to find a guy I used to know and not have to jump through rings of blazing fire to do so.

I wasn’t willing to hire a gum shoe, or send up flares or enlist the FBI in any way. I wanted to find a guy I used to know and not have it be a big deal.

Thing was, he was a big deal to me. We were best friends throughout college and his name was Scott. Scott and I were immediately joined at the hip back then. We started comedy groups together, we rowed on the crew team together, we argued over whether we like blondes or brunettes best together.

If you’ve got some time and are willing to put forth some effort, you can make your own home made pasta. The basic ingredients are:

  • 3/4 cup unbleached white flour

  • 1 egg

  • pinch of salt

That’s it. Some folks use a little (1/2 teaspoon) extra virgin olive oil in their pasta, but it is optional. This recipe makes pasta enough for 2 regular servings, so if you want more increase the amounts in the same proportions.

Jamaica Foods Are Becoming More Popular

Jamaica Foods

Jamaica foods are extremely healthy simply because they prefer not to use processed foods. In fact the majority of meals cooked on the island are made fresh each day and use a variety of ingredients that are readily available on the island.

Pimento berries are a very important ingredient in much of the Jamaican food you will eat when visiting the island. It is also known as allspice and is an essential ingredient in Jamaican Jerk sauce. They are similar in look to whole black pepper corns when they are dried out but come with their own unique flavor. It is in fact a good home remedy to use if you have an upset stomach and should be chewed or crushed up then brewed with some water to make a tea.

Classic Scottish Recipes

June 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment

If British recipes are, undeservedly, the joke of European cuisine, then Scottish cookery bears the brunt of British culinary jokes with tales of deep-fried pizzas and chocolate bars. The reality, of course, is very different and the Eastern port cities of Scotland have a long association with France and have been influenced by French cuisine for many centuries.

In contrast, the Highlands of Scotland offer simpler but more traditional fare. The cookery of a poor populace, eking out a living. Here I present two dishes. One a traditional ‘peasant’ dish and the other a rich traditional cake.

Purchase Grocery Online

May 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

There are many advantages of purchasing grocery online as opposed to shopping from a traditional grocery store:

1. You save time in terms of driving to a physical grocery store, circling the parking lot looking for parking, meandering up and down the aisles, standing in line at the checkout counter, loading the groceries in your car, and driving home.

2. You are less likely to overspend if you purchase grocery online rather than visit a physical grocery store, because you are less likely to be side tracked and end up buying more than what you intended. Let’s face it: It has happened to all of us: We go to the grocery store with a shopping list and wind up walking out of the store having bought a million other things that were not on the list!

How To Make The Fresh Coffee Possible

May 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

If you want the freshest coffee possible, then you will need to start with unroasted beans which must be roasted and ground the same day you will brew.

However, roasting beans is somewhat of a specialty in the kitchen. You must be willing to invest in roasting equipment that is, generally, far from a low-priced kitchen accessory. Otherwise, the results will be disappointing. Not to mention that, even when roasted properly, the process can fill the home with odors that can take a long time to disappear.
