Calypso Pork Roast.......... Here's my Jamaican SIL's way of "floating" a Scotch Bonnet ( or any really hot pepper) or two so you get lots of flavor but not overwhelming heat: she cuts a small " X" in bottom of pepper & floats it. If you're making a dish that has to simmer a long time, then...

I make a similar thing with tequila, then stick it in freezer & it's ice-cold & a tiny bit thick when you serve it....really great with a nice pot of Chile Verde!

I'm growing the Bhuts for 1st. time this year & will definitely be experimenting. I have lived in India & in Pakistan (married into a Pak. family) & had the good fortune (with cooking, at least) of having seven SIL's who were all excellent cooks. There's probably not much in way of Indo-Pak...

Hey ringsting! I know just what little coffeehouses you're talking about! I very quickly got addicted to their brews. "Kick-Ass Coffee" is the Dunkin'D's of Alaska! Name's pretty cute, too! I do like Starbucks fairly well but refuse to buy their coffee on principle..... they are gouging...

Thrift shops & yard sales RULE!! I got a 3-knife set of 1960's Sabatier knives for $4.00 in a thrift shop. My 1950's "beehive" Osterizer works perfectly & will grind just about anything & no burnt-out motor....$5.00 from a yard sale. Kitchen-Aid stand mixer with dough-hooks? $15.00 = yard sale...

When I was a young woman I wanted every latest gadget, matching sets of pots/pans & all the trendiest kitchen stuff. Now, many years later, I have a whole kitchenful of old friends. My 30 year-old Magnalite domed roaster sits in all it's aging glory under the kitchen island. My Le Crueset big...

your favorite kitchen knives I have a Henkels Germany chef's knife that I love, a Sabatier cleaver that just does so many jobs so well & a set of Sabatier knives (boning,paring & chef's) that are truly retro...1960's vintage...that I picked up for next to nothing in a thrift shop. That said...

Don't feel one bit ashamed! I am a danged-good cook & almost 100% cook from scratch...BUT....my addiction is White Castle's Pulled Pork Sliders! OMG are they delicious!! Even good cooks like a break once in awhile!

As bizarre as it may sound, I once had very hot & spicy lamb kidney curry on Syrian-Arab Airlines!!:shocked::shocked:To this day it is the most delicious dish i've ever tasted. Have experimented with re-creating it on my own & got tolerably close....but, still.....not the same (sigh).

Dreadie, i'm liking just about every recipe you've posted! Going to do that roast pork loin for my DH this weekend. Thanks!

My mama, out of the hills of Tennessee, always made her own BBQ sauce. Here it is: 1 cup ketchup 2 Tbsps. molasses 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon prepared spicy mustard 3 drops liquid hickory smoke 1/4 cup SUPER-strong black coffee 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper ( I, myself, also add 1 teasp...

Great lookin' patties, Dreadie! I, too make them & now that my DH's friends (DH is Jamaican & friends are Jamaican & Haitian) know that I make pretty awesome patties I often get requests to make them for parties. They're a bit time-consuming to make but are soooo worth it! Your method for the...

Yesterday I made a Pakistani dish called "Nihari". It is hot, hot hot!! and so delicious. You can use a homemade Nihari masala (spice mixture) but most of the ones avail. in Indo-Pak grocery-stores are really good. It's cubes of skirt steak cooked in a tremendously hot sauce & served in small...

like, hello from an old (I do mean OLD0 Santa Cruz surfer girl!

Yup, pileiton, you're absolutely right! I must admit, though, when we first moved here everyone said "Oh you've gotta try Rutts Hutt!" Kids & I went down, ordered & none of us liked it, at all!

I'm docsgal & I just joined today. Looks like a really fun & informative site for one of my passions....HOT peppers! You can get a super-good Curry Goat recipe from my profile page; however it is incomplete. If you want it send me a PM. Also, under restaurants I posted about my town; which is...

I just posted a wonderful recipe for Curry Goat on my profile, when I registered today. It was given to me by a woman who owns a Jamaican restaurant in White Plains, NY. My husband's Jamaican & says it's the best Curry Goat he's ever had. Don't have to use goat. Can use beef or pork. Check it out.

I live in Clifton, N.J. and although it's not an especially pretty town (used to be an old mill town) it is truly a Mecca for pepper lovers, those who love to cook ethnic dishes, & for finding virtually ANY pepper or other ingredient you need. We have an awesome farmer's market (it's...

Enjoyed all your great pics. from India. I married a Pakistani man & lived in Pakistan for several years....same wonderful choice of peppers, spices etc. in the bazaars. I feel homesick....Pak. is just too unsafe to visit right now. My son travels to Calcutta every year to study with a...
