Sounds great. No snow here. This is definitely my favorite thread.........

Tonight was rigatoni with Italian sausage and escarole in a white wine and cream sauce. The hot variety of the sausage makes this a nice and spicy. Served with breadsticks and the leftover wine from the sauce (I've made it with either pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc, but I really don't like to drink either).

Whee! My first double post. It wasn't my fault, I swear. It told me to try again, so I did.

Actually the smoker works on top of the stove indoors...snow, rain or shine...

Well, I do. Sounds like I'd be a good dinner guest.

kATHYk....i WISH YOU WOULD GET RID OF THAT AVATAR. I LIKED THE OLD ONE.

JF

Hey, Mon -- I need to deflect the negative karmic waves . .

What was the old one, I can't remember? And why did you change?

I dunno. I'm just such a fashion maven.

Now who stole Larry's hat...and my...

jf

She was wearing a tin hat to shield her brain from electromagnetic psychotronic mind control carriers.

Haven't decided for tonight. Last night was lamb stew served over rice, washed down with good beer.

I like the cookbook idea ! Two fav's are from food critic Mark Bittman:

How To Cook Everything

and The Minimalist Cooks Dinner

Nah, Kathy changes her avatars like she changes her underwear. First she raises a stink....

On to cookbooks...The River Road series is good, and a must in any Bayou kitchen.

We stick more to farm or country type cooking, so I can't compete with JF or Penny, but we don't go hungry.

And how would you even know I wear underwear, Jolly?

Don't know if that's a declaratory statement, or an invitation, but I believe I'll pass either way.

I also find it rather amusing that such behavior has been uncovered in a "what's for dinner" thread....

Oops. Double post.

That smilie made me laugh out loud. Even beats Larry's.

By the way kathy, you do know that Jolly can reach out and get you from his monitor, don't you?

Okay, I'm returning this thread to its topic. Too good a topic to let go by the wayside.

I roasted the best chicken I've ever done last night. After rubbing the whole thing with salt, I then brushed butter over the breast and legs, then rubbed fresh minced rosemary, crushed garlic and a little salt under the skin of the breasts and legs - this is key - the herb mix was all rubbed under the skin so the flavors really infused the meat, and the skin with the butter, was browned and delicious.

P.S. Bcarey, I've learned to duck! :p

and that is an example of a provocative recipe.
