Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
The above version departed slightly from the original recipe incorporating lean ground pork and lamb with the bacon and a spicy curry flavoring to the rice… oh yes, our five chef’s marinara sauce completes it!
Bon appetite!
If you’ve been to the grocery store recently, you’ve noticed the price of many products have gone up significantly, particularly pork. Frankly, I am a little disturbed that ‘other people’ have discovered the wonders of pork products and actually like it! It is a staple in much of what I cook from soup bases to using Bacon fat along with butter in many fun recipes.
Now I am not trying to cause a panic, but I noticed something as simple as Bacon has become quite pricey! It’s not like I am going to give it up anytime soon… I am only going to fill my freezers! However, there is hope; the inventory will continue it’s downward trend reflecting the jump in deman, but supply will catch up in the years ahead.
I am also impressed with the offerings of pork in many restaurants, some including an all pork section!
Hmmm… I am definitely hungry!

This caught my eye ….loved to have taken my daughters there when they were young.
Oh yes, I think we know what this is all about! My daughter Kristin was visiting the Island of Pilau and had one of their — uh — dare you eat it delicacies called Fruit Bat Pie. Judging from how it looks the recipe seems fairly simple: 1) catch a fruit bat, 2) boil ’em 3) bake ’em in a pie and 4) eat ’em!
Don’t you love to eat something that can look right back up at you?
Bon Appetite!
I first became acquainted with Michael Tracey’s recipes when my daughter Karen traveled to South Africa for an internship. Needless to say, Karen tortured me with the culinary offerings of some of the wonderful restaurants she discovered from ‘forty ate’ and ‘five flies’ to ‘Cafe Mao’s’ to an extraordinary sushi restaurant smack dab in the middle of an elegant Italian Restaurant on the waterfront!
I wouldn’t mind making some Bobotie soon!
