How To Open a Durian
Singapore, 1984. Purchased 1# of ripe durian pods. Triple ziplock bagged creamy looking flesh. Stored in hotel room.....did not know that was illegal. Returned to discover an deeply violating, unholy odor permeating the hall from behind my closed room door. Quickly removed offending package to the rear building parking lot, lit only by floods and fireflies. Attempted to spoon flesh into my mouth. Attempted to swallow said flesh. Expectorated flesh and half my supper supper on the ground....did not know that was illegal in Singapore. Sealed the zip locks with a shaken hand, hurled the package out into the dark over the rear chain link fense, thereby breaking a third (no littering!) Singapore law. Total fines evaded....$3000. But the room.....would....not....air....out.

Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
Snow outside, Elk walking by at dawn and dusk, sisters and I had tonsilitis BAD. No chance at going out to play, so Mom put a stool by the counter for me, and dolls on the floor for sisters. We started with a cake for dinner, then later bisquits. I was hooked. I could make good things to eat.

Breakfast for a Crowd: Any Ideas?
Revueltos....crisp fried potatoes, chopped green onion, diced red and green peppers, crumbled crisp thick sliced bacon, bay shrimp, diced garlic, mushrooms, hot pepper flakes, parlsey.....and eggs poured over the lot when all are combined and HOT. Turn slowly....the eggs cooks to custard consistance on the hot potatoes, etc....not on the pan. Texture is creamy, crunchy, and delicious.

Great and easy lamb recipe for Valentine's evening?
For those on a budget, who want BIG flavor with their lamb, try the flour, egg wash, flour breading of meaty shoulder lamb chops. Quickly brown them in a dutch oven (careful....they burn fast), and set them aside. Saute a pound of mushrooms to give them some color, then add lots of chopped parsley and minced garlic at the end of the saute. Set aside. Saute a big onion in olive oil until soft....drain the onions and set aside. Layer the lamb chops in the dutch oven. Lamb, topped with mixture of onions, mushrooms, parsley, garlic, sprinkle of thyme and hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper, then another layer of the lamb, onions....you get it. Cover, cook 1 3/4 hours at 375˚ Lift the individual chops (spoon tender) out of the dutch oven to warm serving plates, pour off the remaining juices/fats into a gravy separator...and save the juices. Taste and adjust seasonsings. Spoon the the juices over the lamb, over polenta, and serve with brocolini.

Guinness Beer Options: Looking for Something Similar
Rogue Brewery in Oregon has a gold medal winning Renaissance Stout....slightly more carbonated than Guiness, and with a deeper flavor spectrum in the finish.
