. Anyway, it is a dish of simple shredded boiled chicken breast and thin scallion threads, sauced with one of the most interesting, maybe strangely flavored (!) concoctions on the menu. Hot as hell, but with a hint of vinegary...

I have a great recipe for duck breast; half pan fried, half roasted. Check it out, it’s the easiest (it’s on chowhound, I think you can get it through my profile)

Chicken dinner at the Plaza Inn located in the hub is one of the best in the L.A. Area also. Again, the price competes with any Fried Chicken dinner outside the park. This meal includes half-of-a-chicken, or upgrade to two breast...

's and Chipotle’s, which I like as well. Fresh Mexican-esque flavors and good price points. -Chick-Fil-A. My idea of comfort food is one of these delicious chicken breasts resting on a buttery bun with pickle accent and a...

and ingredients. Today I am making the Zuni chicken stock, and I will use the breasts to make Goin’s Chicken Paillards for lunch. Awesome! So far, the chicken stock is very delicious, and I haven’t even finished...

. The brisket was heavenly, it made the meal. Texas toast was crunchy and buttery. Everyone was very nice and the owner couldn’t stop thanking us when we told her it was some of the best bbq we’d ever eaten. Tried a...

Really? I’ve never done it myself, of course, but my sister, mother of 8, all breast-fed and who has a Masters in nutrition, once told me there were all kinds of things she couldn’t eat while she was breast feeding,...

phyllo pastry. Both dishes were very good and we were looking forward to our entrees. For our main course I got a seared duck breast served with grilled figs and polenta. Mine was very good, but Allison’s entrée was great....

Was prepping dinner. My chef’s knife tumbled off the counter onto my naked foot. I severed the tendon to my big toe. Spent 6 hrs waiting in the emergency room, got stitched up and returned 1 week later for surgury. Was 6...

It was a bunch of leftover ingredients from the past weekend’s Christmas “blowout” at our place — turkey breast shreds, tomatoes, barley, carrots, celery...I can’t remember what else. Just some...

Jamie Oliver was the best before he became too popular. Charming, Cute and Capable. Before I get skewered, I’m talking about the early shows, The Naked Chef and Pukka Tukka. Yes, they were contrived, but they made for fun...

Let me explain myself better: The Produce Exchange feels like the produce section at a grocery store to me and I’ve never seen Bill’s (I’ll look next time). I mean I can buy a crate of clementines or "Naked...

I like naked green beans and onions. Does that count?

My mother NEVER frosted her sponge cakes! We begged, but she ignored our pleas. We had to eat them naked. I suppose sponge cakes are supposed to be unfrosted — but that brings me to the core of the problem. They were the...
