NotesThe Cosmopolitan is a cultural touchstone because once upon a time, Dale DeGroff got one into the hands of Madonna at the Rainbow Room and it became the drink to be seen with. Then HBO and SJP, of course, made the drink ubiquitous and clichéd.FeedUnfurl
NotesThe Tom Collins dates back more than a century and a half, but its welcoming crispness keeps it fresh always. So established in the libational world, the Tom Collins even has its own eponymous glass (tall, with plenty of room for ice). Over the years, the drink has faced some challenges--bottles of Holland House Collins Mix in my parents' liquor cabinet spring to mind. Was squeezing a lemon really so difficult? But successfully navigating its course from horse-and-carriage days to the digital age, the Tom Collins is built for survival. Keep some lemons and soda water on-hand this weekend and knock together a Collins in between grilling stints. FeedUnfurl
NotesCooper Brothers Cocktail
1½ oz bourbon
½ oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
¼ oz Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
Stir, stir, stir with ice and then strain into a stemmed cocktail glass. Twist a piece of orange peel over the top of the drink. Garnish with a fresh orange twist.Unfurl
Notes Last week, when the polar vortex, something that ought to be a frozen rum cocktail with an umbrella on top, but is sadly anything but, had begun to descend its icy grasp on all parts of the U.S., I made the best pot of soup of my life.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesFreezer cooking! Have you heard about this? You spend one day preparing meals for the month to keep in your freezer so you don’t have to think about it later. FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesWith only a few seconds of preparation the night before, you can awaken to steamy, creamy, perfectly prepared steelcut oatmeal. It’s like you’re suddenly transported to a cozy bed-and-breakfast where the hostess bustled around in the kitchen early in the morning in order to serve you this healthy breakfast treat at the moment you’re ready.EmbedUnfurl
NotesSo it's Labor Day weekend, the holiday that offers up togetherness and honoring American labor as flimsy pretexts for men across the land to stand next to fire, poking things. Unfurl
NotesMoist, luscious, and delicious. Just the right blend of spices make this chicken dish one of my most requested. Great hot or cold. If using thighs with skin, you can put over direct medium heat for the last few minutes to crisp skin.Unfurl
NotesThis project is a fun project for both chili pepper afficianados and those with a sense of humor. This is my 12-year old son's creation! It is sort of a Russian roulette with homemade twinkies. We made four twinkies, and filled one with a Thai dragon pepper filling. Will you get the fiery one or will you get a normal one? Either way, it is delicious!Unfurl
Noteshere’s an easy but satisfying twist on regular ol’ eggs. slice a cross section of red bell pepper so you get a nice circle-ish shape. take care to cut it so it will sit flat on a pan. heat both sides of the pepper in a frying pan for a minute or two, so that the pepper starts to soften but not too much. then, crack open an egg and put it right in the middle of the pepper.FeedUnfurl
NotesSo of course I was super excited when I saw these for Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes on Cupcakes Takes the Cake. The cupcakes were made by Zoey Cakes in Baldwinsville, NY.FeedUnfurl
NotesWhenever Joe makes homebrew, I whip up some spent grain bread. All the recipes I found on the internet treated the spent grain as a sort of add-on ingredient, the way you would treat cheese or raisins. I wanted it to be the main part–it is grain, after all. That’s what bread is. So after some tweaking (there will be endless tweaking, of course), I have come up with my own version:Unfurl
Notes Every holiday season I make batches of different colored and flavored marshmallows. This one is definitely a favorite. They will melt in your mouth. They are delicious alone, in hot chocolate, chopped up and added to fudge or brownies, dipped in chocolate...Unfurl
NotesMy father first found this recipe in the New York Times in 2007. We thought the combination of cashews, garlic, cilantro and jalapenos intriguing and worth a try. When my 9-year old visiting nephew proclaimed, "Hey, this chicken is good!," we knew we had a keeper. I've since made this recipe several times, with great results. Note the reader comments. People have subbed almonds and walnuts for the cashews, and parsley for the cilantro. Great for a summer cookout!Unfurl
Notes"Let’s just cut to the chase already: the soup has 44 cloves of garlic in it. 28 are roasted and then peeled, 18 peeled and then simmered, and somehow the outcome is subtle, but not boring."FeedEmbedUnfurl
Notes"I've been reading The Homebrewer's Garden to gather some information about taking care of the hops I'm growing in my backyard. The final section of the book is a cornucopia of interesting herb, fruit, and vegetable beer recipes. One in particular titled "Chili Beer" caught my eye. I love spicy food and I've always thought of brewing a spicy pepper beer like a Jalapeno Pilsener, so I picked up all the ingredients and brewed this yesterday. Its an extract recipe which was a nice change of pace after my last few all grain brews. Because it is an interesting kind of exploratory/experiment of a beer I scaled the 5 gallon recipe down to 3 gallons. Honey, home toasted malt, and chili peppers should make this one interesting."Unfurl
Notes"I noticed Ed's Apfelwein tasted super hoochy until it was about a year old. When it's about a year old tho it does taste like a good cider, but doesn't have the body a good cider does.<br />
<br />
So, how can I make something that will taste good faster and also have body?"Unfurl
Notes"Last year’s Winter Spiced ale was a big success. Not only did the Irish Ale yeast surprise and amaze me by creating a beer around 15%abv, but they also survived some harsh treatment in a nutrient-poor environment, to produce a great beer for me and my friends! This year I refined the recipe a bit, made some changes, and will produce a beer that is hopefully a bit more herbal, slightly lighter in flavor but also will have more depth of flavor, versus last year’s smack-you-in-the-face winter warmer!"Unfurl
Notes"This grilled potatoes recipe is a great alternative to a boring baked potato. In this recipe, we give the standard starch a flavor boost. We redo this dinner staple by simply adding onions, garlic, salt, pepper and butter. The result is a crispy, delicious potato side dish that is hard to beat."Unfurl
Notes"I'm a big fan of grilled peanut butter sandwiches and it has nothing to do with Elvis Presley (no bananas for me). I'm also a big fan of Thai food, especially the gingery, peanut-buttery goodness that is called satay. One night, while foraging around the fridge for some dinner fixins, I thought I would make a grilled peanut butter sandwich when I spied some bean sprouts and cilantro, and an idea was formed. Trust me, this is good stuff. Makes 2 sandwiches."Unfurl
Notes"Marinating the chicken overnight is the secret to this recipe -- the marinade sinks into the meat, and the lime serves as a tenderizer. Using bone-in chicken breasts gives the dish even more flavor."Unfurl
Notes"In the summer, wheat beers are probably one of the most popular brews to start with. This recipe is about as easy as it gets. The beauty of doing a good wheat is that quality results lie in your process, not so much in your recipe."Unfurl
Notes"Healthy chickpeas are added to slowly-cooked onions, tomatoes and freshly-ground spices. Finished with lemon, yogurt and cilantro, this tangy and pleasantly-spicy curry dish makes a perfect side or main course. "Unfurl
Notes"Vibrant and full of flavor, this tomato chutney is easy to make and it keeps very well. In fact, it is a great chutney to make and can when fresh tomatoes are in season. "Unfurl
