Cook the Book: Spicy Corn Salad
This is perfect timing! I've been looking for new stuff to take to work with me for lunch, and a friend suggested a spicy corn salad. This one looks like IT! Thanks. :)

My First Recipe
Congratulations, it looks awesome! Not only did you make your first original recipe, you have people (like me) who are going to copy it! Now, isn't imitation supposed to be like the highest form of flattery? :)
Barcelona: The Ham Capital of the World
"So I'm forced to try the ham at every one that looks serious" , Oh what a tough job you must have! Sigh, but someone's gotta do it huh? ;) Lucky you, I love La Boqueria! And I wish to go back someday. But then I'd probably turn into a ham too.
'How Moist Was My Turkey'
Awww gramma's too cute! And look at you with that piano! I love this post, most entertaining one I've seen in a while. Very nice job with the turkey! :)

Barcelona: The Ham Capital of the World
Although this may be well known to many, it is helpful to have a handy map of the Mercat Boqueria in hand, when confronted with so many choices. Happily, they have a nice website, which includes this floorplan

When you rollover a booth, a window pops up displaying "what's there." If they had a cross reference, it would be superb, but it sure will come in handy for planning the quick visit.
Cute Salt and Pepper Shakers
You can also find them at hug-salt-pepper.com as well. I order 11 colors from them! so cute. I look at them every morning to cheer myself up :)

I'm not sure what made me do it (I think it was the photo). I've never braised or zested anything in my life. But I made it, and this is one seriously delicious meal.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I *love* the thought process you outlined! That's the mark of someone who knows what they're doing. It's the same process in music, sports, programming - the ability to improvise on the fly, make use of what you know and your experience, and the tools you have in front of you.
Congrats! My only suggestion was going to be Hansens' Soda, but it's got High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, which I avoid at all costs. Orangina sounds like a good call, but possibly also Izze Clementine, if available in your area.
Not that Mimosa Braise doesn't sound perfect all by itself! Just suggesting options to extend your oeuvre. :)
My First Recipe
2 things:
1. Brilliant recipe name.
2. This totally reminds me of the orange kool-aid for orange zest swap in last week's (surprisingly underblogged) NYT story about home cooks adapting recipes. Maybe Orangina would be a slightly less offensive cooking soda (it's French, at least)? People cook hams in Coke and Dr. Pepper all the time, so somewhere there must be a savory orange-soda application.

Awesome. I'm a "Chef" in Wisconsin. I've been cooking in the industry for about 8 years (since i was 14) and I'm just now getting comfortable with making things without a recipe. My new job has provoked it out of me, and as scary as it can be at times, Its a great feeling to pull off something great.
So congrats. You have arrived.
My First Recipe
Congrats on your first recipe. You'll get the hang of it soon. You already seem to know how flavors, ingredients and textures work together. Once you realize you have a firm grasp on this, you'll be inventing things left and right.

Someone's got to say it... "You've come a long way, baby!" ;}
Congrats on your first made-up recipe, Adam.. just don't let it go to your head (yet)! It really does look like a tasty twist on orange chicken.. I may have to give it a try sometime.
