I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. As I've written before, every year we give a little Christmas Eve party and I give out some kind of homemade goodie at the end of the evening. This year I wanted to do the fun DIY thing of making your own vanilla extract. I go through so much vanilla extract and the good stuff is so expensive. I love the idea of making your own from good vanilla beans and then just adding vodka to it to keep it going - after all, that's all vanilla extract is, really - alcohol and vanilla beans. I got some wonderful Bourbon vanilla beans from Beanilla. If you would like to read the differences between the various kinds of vanilla beans, Garrett over at Vanilla Garlic has an informative post about that.
I ordered the fun little labels from My Own Labels, a great company where you can get custom labels for lots of things, including homemade food items, cds, bottles, etc. Fresh Sriracha (aka, home made 'Rooster') recipe from food52. Author Notes: Another Thai-centric sauce is the ubiquitous Sriracha, affectionately dubbed ‘Rooster’.
Apparently, it’s not just for Thais anymore, as I have heard that is in just about every kitchen (from the Asians to Falafel stands and even in many fine dining establishments). I don’t have to go to Asian markets to pick up a bottle--Wal-Mart in Kennesaw, GA even carries it (I was on location last year and found it there!). It’s so popular that The New York Times has written about it and the ‘Rooster’ has a Facebook page with over 220,000 fans.
Don’t get me wrong--I love my Rooster and for the cost, why make it from scratch? I guess I’m just into testing out flavors and how they blend together--just curious, with some late summer time on my hands and gorgeous peppers available in my garden and at the farmers market. Food52 Review: Warning: once you make edamame2003's version, you may never be able to go back to commercial sriracha again. Homemade Organic Butter « kiss my spatula. I love Hugh Jackman.
I love every film, musical and play he’s starred in. Even the not-so-good ones. Take Kate & Leopold, for instance. Standard fare romantic comedy on the brink of being disastrous if it wasn’t for Hugh. His best line in the film, “Ah yes, you mock me. Lion House Dinner Rolls. There isn’t much more I can say about these rolls than they make an appearance at my dinner table several times a month and are probably only one of two or three roll recipes I make regularly.
I usually substitute half the white flour with white wheat flour, but when made with 100% white flour, they are almost indulgent enough to eat for dessert. Tender, buttery, perfect. Overnight Monkey Bread. After her kids were grown and starting to have kids of their own my Mom started the tradition of having everyone over for breakfast Christmas morning.
She would make Monkey Bread and have it on the table for everyone to snack on while she whipped up eggs and bacon and pancakes. The sweet little puffy balls coated with cinnamon and sugar would disappear one at a time until before you knew it nothing was left. I was a pretty picky eater growing up and I didn’t love Mom’s Monkey Bread because she always added nuts to it. I’m still not crazy about nuts in baked goods, but I love Monkey Bread.
It’s like getting just the best part of a cinnamon roll, the ooey, gooey middle in every bite. So this year in memory of my Mom I decided it was time to serve Monkey Bread on Christmas morning.

After posting the moqueca recipe, several of you asked if I had a recipe for Pão de Queijo, or Brazilian cheese bread, sort of like a chewy cheese puff made with tapioca flour. As a matter of fact, I do. My friend Bill gave me this recipe years ago, a favorite from his Brazilian wife Silvia. I’ve made it several times, each time with different cheeses. There are several ways to make Pão de Queijo. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make a big batch of batter and just store it in the refrigerator (for up to a week), pouring out just as many mini-muffins as you want to eat.
