It has been Brought!

Like I mentioned in my last post, Andy J at the Back Porch Gourmet issued me a challenge in the dutch ovens.  We would give each other a list of three ingredients that would need to be used in a completely original recipe.  He gave me Pork, Oranges, and Curry.  I gave him Fish, Dill, and Potatoes.

The whole idea, as I understand, isn’t really to see who’s the best.  We really can’t taste each other’s dishes.  The idea is just to push us out of our comfort zones a bit and see what we can each do.  And to have a little fun in the process.  I tried a little trash talk, but really, I’m not too good at that…

I was really feeling out of the zone.  It was strange.  Since the original challenge stated the the recipe needed to be “wholly original”, I didn’t even go online for ideas.  I just mulled over ideas in my head, and got some great suggestions from Jodi.

Here’s my result:

Chef William Bradley is the executive chef of Addison, the signature restaurant of the The Grand Del Mar resort in San Diego.  Here’s some recent praise for the chef from Troy Johnson of Modern Luxury Magazine:

“Paging Bravo! William Bradley’s time in the lights is now. He recently became the only Southern California chef to be anointed with both the AAA Five-Diamond Award and the Mobil Five-Star Award for his contributions to the mouth. The brainy charmer’s kitchen at the San Diego-based Grand Del Mar’s Addison restaurant is a sanctuary—not a single knife or shallot out of place. This obsessive attention to detail shows in his food, as well: think clean, perfectly separated tastes of wild leek vichyssoise with bacon crémeux, brioche and fennel pollen.”

In today’s featured restaurant recipe, the chef shares a simple to prepare yet elegant appetizer featuring stuffed cremini mushrooms. And did you know? Cremini mushrooms are nutrient packed, trumping…

As you scan the various possibilities for your kitchen flooring, and your eyes rest on a matte surfaced natural stone with conflicting color shades, you are looking at travertine stone. Travertine flooring appeals to many modern homeowners due to its unique appearance that stands out from other natural stones.

Travertine is commonly found in Turkey, Italy, Mexico and Peru. This stone forms from geothermal springs. In its natural form, often algae, macrophytes, and other organisms can be found living on the service, which is what also causes the holes or “porosity” of the rock (don’t worry, if you’re not a fan of the “hole”-like appearance, installers will often fill these with grout. You will find travertine in “filled” and “unfilled” forms).

Advantages of travertine flooring

• Travertine is a sedimentary rock by nature and has been formed by years of deposition. Therefore travertine flooring is extremely tough, and can last for…

Each country, culture and religion has its own set of principles or etiquettes laid down for dining.
