    Questions About Making Homemade Chicken Stock

    July 30, 2010

    Q: How do you make chicken stock? Is there a basic recipe for making chicken stock?
    A: I have two, one is based on the French method and the other on an Asian method of stock making. The ratios for chicken or turkey parts to water and vegetables is similar in both. While the methods are different [...]

    Peach Salsa

    Peach Salsa

    Heather says:
    Summer dreams are topped with this simple  peach salsa, well mine are anyway. I haven’t met a fish yet that doesn’t get along with the peach and jalapeno medley: catfish, salmon, halibut, mahi mahi, and tuna all work equally well, so go with your favorite.  It also works as as a condiment for grilled or [...]

    Substitution 101

    July 27, 2010

    Brian says:
    I’m talking to all the guys in the room for this one.
    I know there have been -and still are- times when you decide to go all out and make yourself something relatively good to eat. You break out the dusty knife set your parents bought for your new apartment and tie on your mental [...]

    Home Preservation and Pressure Canning

    July 26, 2010

    Dear Home-Ec 101:
    I’m taking your advice about building an emergency food supply seriously. I’d like to do some of it by canning and preserving foods from my own garden. Besides pickles, jams and jellies, (which are yummy, but don’t exactly fill a belly) what kinds of foods should I be growing so that I can [...]

    Cooking Without Power, Using a Charcoal Grill

    July 19, 2010

    This post is part of the Home Ec 101 series on emergency preparedness.
    Heather says:
    Keep a charcoal grill for emergencies, sounds simple enough, but what if you’ve never used one?
    A charcoal grill is for outdoor use only.
    Got that? Outdoor only. Every time there is a hurricane or ice storm someone hurts themselves or their families by trying [...]

    Kitchen Serendipity

    July 16, 2010

    Heather says:
    One of the best things about summer is my stepdaughter gets to spend more than a quick visit. Aside from all the other positive things, it’s nice to have a willing sous chef. Last week a miscommunication on my part lead to an unexpected, but excellent new salad.
    In addition to the fried chicken she [...]

    Pork Spare Ribs, Memphis Dry Rub Style

    July 14, 2010

    Heather says:
    I found this a few months ago via Andre Pope, South Carolina’s youngest Certified Senior BBQ Judge, naturally. It’s quite silly, but gives a good overview of the many kinds of BBQ out there. I will admit to never having been brave enough to try it Alabama style and yes, when I’m through, you [...]
