Scallops and Chick Pea Puree
Luck. You know, I’ve never thought of myself as a lucky person. I mean, I’ve never won any kind of prize. Never won even a small lottery prize, never won anything from Publisher’s clearing house. I don’t care. The day began (for us) with lunch. It was a wonderful day. There was lots of wonderful conversation and wonderful food and we hated it when we had to leave. These scallops came from Brittany, fresh frozen and brought carefully in the van or the trailer (I’m not sure which), still frozen. Since they had been frozen, I had to use them quickly. Who needs Lotto luck, eh? This recipe would make a nice appetizer. This recipe might look familiar to you. Scallops and Chickpea Puree 1 can chick peas 4-5 sage leaves 2 Tablespoons olive oil 4 bay leaves 1 small shallot, chopped fine 1 dried hot pepper 1 Tablespoon tomato paste 1/4 cup white wine or tart apple juice 4 large scallops chopped parsley to serve Heat the chick peas with the sage leaves in a pan. Enough for 4. Notes:
Buffalo Wild Wings Recipes
I’m more of a classic buffalo sauce(Frank’s, butter, and vinegar) man myself, but I had these recipes for my favorite wings at Buffalo Wings Wings, so I thought I would share. Some of these may seem a little labor intensive, but they definitely taste a lot better with fresh ingredients.

Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken
A lot of folks have asked me for this recipe. It’s one of The Angry Chef’s signature dishes, and I was lucky to pry it away from him. This recipe is a dream come true for garlic lovers like me. It’s tart and garlick-y and oh-so-fragrant in all the right ways. The instructions below are one part recipe, one part technique. Basically, the chicken breast is dredged in flour, then shallow fried in a bath of bubbling golden olive oil. Lemon juice, powdered peel, and fresh zest provide a triple dose of bright citrus flavor right near the end of cooking. Enjoy this chicken with any sort of hot, spicy rice (I have yet to get the recipe for the Demon Saffron Rice that he made around Halloween), some warm, buttered noodles, or grilled asparagus sprinkled with Parmesan. The Angry Chef’s Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken: A note on ingredients This recipe calls for three different types of garlic—garlic salt, fresh elephant garlic, and jarred minced garlic.

Dim Sum??
No! Well, maybe? But not traditional by any means. We took 2 dim sum methods and made one with Italian ingredients, and one with taco leftovers! Fresh tomatoes make food taste better. The dough recipe calls for hot water. Wide angle shot of the new kitchen. This is tomatoes and red peppers, can you tell what's what? Wonton filling minus the sausage. take the ground sausage meat out of the casing. This is tomatoes, onions, parsley, red peppers, garlic, sausage, and parmesan. Cilantro, garlic, and green onions for the taco one. Add some cheese, then roll it up. In my experience, one of the main differences in Italian ravioli and Asian wontons, is that the meat in Italian ones is usually pre cooked. A bit of tomato sauce left over. These were excellent. This is how a gangsta eats wontons. Now back to the other one. These had a very liquidy salsa for dipping. Look at that oozy cheese! Torti-tons Dice and mix tomatoes, onions, parsley, red peppers, garlic, sausage, and parmesan. Dim-Mexi-Sum
Cherry Almond Rolls Recipe and Merry Christmas!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! The boys are anxious as can be, especially after waking up to lots of presents that Kevin and I wrapped last night. They have been asking all day when they get to open one, because we always open one on Christmas Eve. This morning I woke up and decided to make cinnamon rolls (a simple, frequent task for me when I use my 30 Minute Rolls Recipe) for breakfast. 30 Minute Rolls for Cherry Almond Rolls or Cinnamon Rolls, by Katrina Smith Mix together and let rise 15 minutes: 1 3/4 cups warm water 3 tablespoons active dry yeast (one packet of yeast would work fine, which is 2 1/4 teaspoons) 1/2 cup vegetable oil 6 tablespoons sugar The yeast mixture should get foamy during the 15 minutes. 1/2 tablespoon salt 1 1/2 large eggs, beaten (2 tablespoons of a beaten egg is about half an egg) 5-6 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup softened butter (for spreading on dough rolled for cherry or cinnamon rolls) 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted Cherry Filling: Cream Cheese Frosting
