Thanksgiving Leftovers: Brussels Sprouts, Potatoes, and Turkey Hash

Kenji, it looks & sounds delicious. I'll have to make some
Brussels sprouts tomorrow & give it a try.

TV Chefs Worth Watching...?

Alton Brown, for telling me WHY and getting me
interested in cooking again -- ( cooking 3 times a
day for 30 years wasn't fun most of the time!)
Anne Burrell
America's Test Kitchen
Everyday Foods
Iron Chef Morimoto-food so beautiful & simple!
I miss:
Jacques Pepin
Sara Moulton
Jamie Oliver

Wish I could get the new Food TV. However, It IS owned
by the Food Network so you better enjoy it before they screw
it up!
And thank you for Serious Eats and Kenjie!

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking Volume 4: Farm Markets & Gardens'

Lake Ella (Tallahassee, FL) has a weekly Farmer's Market with lots of local growers. They're tough - it seems like there's a huge rainstorm every afternoon but they keep on bringing their produce to sell!

Cook the Book: 'Put 'em Up!'

Just bought a freezer 'cause the refrigerator freezer is way too small. So far I've made lots of stock in jars & ice cube trays. Soups, bean dishes...just learning how/what to freeze. I want to learn to can stuff - being a slave to electricity makes me nervous.

Cook the Book: 'Farm to Fork'

After working all day on my godmother's peach farm - hot, sweaty, & exhausted - biting into a just-picked peach...a delicious explosion of flavor!

Sous-Vide 101: Spicy Rubbed Pork Chops with BBQ Sauce

Why couldn't you put the chops (in a freezer bag) in an electric skillet
full of water heated to the proper temp?

Alton Brown's diet

First time I saw Alton after he lost weight, I wasn't aware he had been
trying to lose, and I, too, thought he was ill. He had gained a lot of weight over the years, and the "new" Alton is going to take a while to get used to.
And good for him! I just wish he'd share some more of his recipes; his "rules" given on his show were very sensible. I've tried his sardine & avocado toast & it's pretty good-not for everyday, but once a week. His smoothie recipe is really delicious; haven't tried his almond snacks yet, but I intend to.

Serious Green: Freeze It Now, Eat It Later

Loved the article but it won't let
me email it to myself; it keeps
saying "oops you forgot to fill out
a required field." I've tried it 6 times.
Is it me or is it the computer? I
know the little numbers/letters are
distorted on purpose, but 6 times
wrong? I've never had so much
trouble.

For the laddies- Hottest Food Network Dude?

If there's a hands down, all around winner - and I'm not saying there is - it's Alton Brown. He's smart. He's creative. He's talented . And he's adorable. .
