If you haven’t been to South
Africa, you might build your visit around a nice hunting experience. These folk offer the entire experience including meals of your hunt.
Wonderful Sweet Egg Bread
Sometimes the simplest things are the most wonderful. This is not my recipe though I wish it was… Egg bread makes all of my favorite things like French toast… Delicious even with just a slice of butter.
1 cup water
2 eggs
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons fine sugar
4 tablespoons butter
2 packages yeast (2 teaspoons)
Fix something wonderful on Valentines Day … Even if it’s just for you because you deserve it!
2013 the year of Kale
It was really hard to avoid Kale this year. It seemed to be everywhere. It appears in recipes and packaged salad mixes. I even found a Kale salad mix at Costco … But in their hurry to get a product out it was chopped stems and all!
Kale is a relative of cabbage so one would expect it in various stews… Like a Swedish Lamb Stew.
Hopefully, chefs will find something less of a stretch to do with Kale in 2014.
2014 may the odds ever be in your favor
It’s nice to see the “behind the scenes” material which accompanies a video. The various themes revolved around the central concept of resisting an abusive authority.
I seem to remember that the books and this the film was inspired by all the increased security efforts of President Bush’s administration . I think the word they used was ” regime “. There appeared to be an acknowledgement that things had gotten worse.
In search of a better understanding of the authors perspective … I have been reading her books I am finding her third book “mocking jay” a particular easy read.
The ” Hunger Games” trilogy seems to resonate with many today. It is more than books, but an expression of frustration with government. Is government there to serve and protect… Or as some believe, to be served.
I witnessed this phenomenon once before, it was the late ’70’s’ and a move chronicled brave souls fighting to establish a better world. The world changed dramatically… “Star Wars” was the catalyst .
Happiness is a bowl full of bagels
Some of the simplest things to make can be the most satisfying. Bagels are just one of those things!
Here’s what I doHere’s how I make them!.
Just a small hint: I find a stiffer dough works best and maintains the bagels shape throughout the process.
