Tip of the Week


February 21st, the Tip of the Week from the Virginian-Pilot food section is: Scrub lemons well before using as they may have insecticide on their skins.

We had excellent pot luck, at my real job yesterday, to celebrate Fat Tuesday. The menu included Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice, fried chicken, Mac and Cheese and Gumbo Ya-Ya. Instead of frying the chicken, I went with the boiled chicken method in Emeril’s recipe. After the chicken cooled and I stripped the carcasses I put the bones back in the original pot of water to get a better quality of stock. While I was doing this recipe I added a few extra chickens and froze the extra cooked chicken for use in enchiladas. I must admit it came out good as there was not a drop left in the crock pot.
